| Biography: |
I'm Niki Hunter, previously known as Niki Broughton. I am a commercial artist with more than a decade's worth of experience, 7 years of which was spent working full-time in the computer games industry. Prior to that I worked in a design studio, and going back further still I was taking on paid art commissions as young as the age of 14.
Probably my biggest achievement so far is as the main concept artist/character designer for Microsoft's X-Box game Sudeki. Since the very humble beginnings of the project, I produced literally hundreds of drawings and CG art pieces through the years of its development, as well as adding my own finishing touches to various pieces of Sudeki marketing art.
Aside from the games industry, I've taken on numerous art commissions over the years and my work has found a variety of outlets, including:
Merchandising, marketing and website art for Japanese rock musicians JO:YA and Duel Jewel; CD covers and T-shirt designs for Anime Radio; CD cover art for "Anime Toonz Vol. 2" CD released by Jellybean Recordings of New York; Art showcased in New York at "Gamers' Nite Groove" event; Web and small-press comic work.
Now I am a freelance artist and having fun doing work for Sweatdrop on the side, as well as producing my own line of clothing/goods known as VK-UK! |
