NAT NICHOLS

In 6th grade, I was voted “Most Likely to be an Artist,” and I’ve been doing my best to live up to that prestigious title ever since. I’ve always invested extra time and practice into my craft, no matter what walk of life I’m in, simply because I love seeing what I can create by learning new concepts, skills, and software.

​

In 2020, I graduated from Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts with a B.F.A. in Animation & Visual Effects and a minor in Video Game Development.

​

I’ve been working professionally as a 3D artist for over five years now. I currently hold the title of Senior 3D Artist at thatgamecompany, where I create assets and contribute to events for the award-winning mobile game Sky: Children of the Light.

​

When I’m not 3D modeling or digital painting, you can usually find me making cosplays, caring for my plants, or trying to find my next favorite boba tea spot!

​

The art and meaning behind film and games have always been deeply inspiring to me. I love how these mediums can communicate ideas, share stories, and evoke emotion, and I’m grateful to be a part of an industry that has such a meaningful impact on the way we experience and understand the world.
