Laurens Corijn

I'm Laurens Corijn, a recent Digital Arts & Entertainment graduate from Belgium. I've been doing CG for 4 years now, mainly focusing on mechanical subjects such as vehicles. I equally enjoy working on high-end rendering, and optimized, real-time, video game art. Besides doing CG, I like to spend my time listening to music, and riding and maintaining my motorcycle.
