About

My name is Neil Gowland, and I'm a Lead 3D Environment Artist currently living near Newcastle, UK. I've been working in the games industry since 2006, focusing mainly on Environment Art, but I'm comfortable with most disciplines of 3D game art production. I am hardworking and always eager to improve myself on a day-to-day basis. I have experience working on a wide variety of games from different genres. Over the past 18 years, I have worked on 18 published games and have experience and knowledge of working on all major platforms and virtual reality headsets.
