Hi, I'm Aaliyah! I am a second-year Games Art student and want to work hard to hone my skills and improve as a generalist! You might be feeling a bit worried or uneasy about what there is and what the course entails but I am here to answer all your questions. No matter how big the question or how small :) Whilst I'm not in the other animation pathways (3D/VFX, 2D animation, Comic & Concept Art) I can always give my knowledge in those areas too. Just pop a message over! Very excited to talk about the courses with you [Aaliyah from University of Hertfordshire]
