Who is it
Hugo Sena is a lead character artist at Rouge Factor and based in Montreal. Not only is he jumping from sculpting to texturing on the daily but he simultaneously manages a team of artists. Hugo loves everything there is about characters, be it realistic, cartoony, subhuman and everything in between.
"I'm really satisfied with a project and I'm going to post it, and as soon as I click publish, I immediately hate it and I'm like, this is shit, I need to redo it. That's good and it's bad at the same time because it takes a toll on the confidence."
GET IN TOUCH WITH HUGO SENA
"Whatever you do it's not a race. The industry is pushing us to be better sooner and quicker but it's not a race, it's a marathon. You don't want to be the best for two years and then stop working because you are burnt out."
