Cristian Sbattentini
Background Artist, Comic Artist, Illustrator
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Summary
I've been always a comics and animation lover.
I attended a comics school in Italy (Scuola Internazionale di Comics Jesi) and few years later I started working for Rainbow, the biggest animation company in Italy.
Since working in animation I became a professional in background coloring with Photoshop,
but I also gained experience by working alongside my colleagues in 3D texturing, 2D FX animation and compositing.
