Welcome to my site. My name is Miguel Angel Santiago Jr. I'm a character artist specializing in various aspects of the character development pipeline. Over the years I have primarily focused on digital character sculpting, texturing, and shader development. I began art early in my childhood by drawing on anything I could get my hands on.  I was slowly inspired by the emerging industry of CG art with movies like Tron, The Last Starfighter, Willow, and Abyss, to name a few. Eventually, I decided to turn my devotion to art into a career. Currently, I'm a 3D artist at America's Army where I continue to push real-time character development. I also spend my free time developing my skills on personal projects, participating in the CG community and developing shaders that are freely available on this site.
