Summary
Hello, my name is Jenny Brewer. User interface artist in the games industry by day, by night (and any spare time) I am an illustrator.
I started my career at Lionhead Studios back in 2011, after graduating with a First BA (hons) in Computer Games Design from the University of Wales, Newport. Nowadays I am based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, working remotely as a UI artist at Flaming Fowl Studios.
Want to know a bit more about me? I love listening to music as I work, my favourite band being The White Stripes. However, currently I can be found jumping around to the likes of Electric Six, Steel Panther, The Offspring, Bowling For Soup and Metallica.
When not creating art, I enjoy playing video games some of my favourites being Spyro the Dragon, Fable, Borderlands and The Witcher series. To try and keep in shape, I enjoy going on countryside walks with my husband and young daughter - also great for taking some reference images!
I am also rather fond of pandas.
