Introduction
Hi! My name is David Szieber, and I’m an Environment Artist at Nixxes Software in the Netherlands. I started working here a little over 3 years ago, and I have worked on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.
I started my journey in Environment Art 5 years ago when I moved to the Netherlands from my home country, Hungary. I am also a self-taught artist, which is very easy nowadays with such amazing resources as 80 Level, The Dinusty Empire, or ArtStation, just to name a few.
In this interview, I will break down the creation of my latest project, Mountain Shrine, and go through the creation process step by step. I will explain the tools I used and the reasoning behind choosing them. The project started 3 years ago during a trip to Japan, but due to a lack of free time, I had put it aside for a long time and only started working on it a few months ago, on and off, after work hours and weekends.
