Introduction
Hello everyone! My name is Nelia Butsko, and I’m a 3D Artist at the Ukrainian company Ulysses Graphics. I’ve been working in 3D for three years now.
My journey into 3D was quite simple. I’ve been passionate about art since childhood – it all started with traditional drawing, specifically portraits. Later, I became interested in 2D character art, and it was around that time that I stumbled upon an ad for 3D courses. That moment changed everything.
I began diving deep into everything related to the game industry. Once I gathered enough information, I started my 3D path with three courses at the Ukrainian ArtCraft CG School (which took about a year). After that, I dedicated another year to intensive self-study. Instead of focusing on job hunting or writing resumes, I devoted all my energy and time to creating a strong portfolio with quality artworks, and it paid off: I got hired.
To achieve this, I worked every single day with strict discipline, constantly challenging myself with more complex tasks to improve faster. At Ulysses Graphics, where I currently work, I’ve already gained over a year of commercial experience and contributed to the Hunt: Showdown 1896 project.
