About Me

My name is Akil Dawkins and I have been working as a digital artist for about 15 years.  During high school I worked as a digital retoucher for Focal Point Studios.  After I graduated from the College for Creative Studies I worked as an art direction intern at J. Walter Thompson.  After that I got a job at Bluewater/Visual Productions Inc. where I did a variety things from modeling, texturing, and rendering in mental ray, to converting engineering data for use in 3D production.  For the past 9 years I have been working for Stardock Entertainment.  I started out making spaceships and cinematics for Galciv 2.  From there I moved on to working on the Elemental and Sins of the Solar Empire franchises. On Elemental I did modeling, textring, rigging, and character animation.  On Sins I modeled and textured space ships.  Now I do modeling, texturing, concept art, and art direction on Galactic Civilizations 3.  If you would like to contact me, send me an email at Akildawkins@gmail.com.  Thank you for visiting!
