I’ll try to present myself in just a few words. My name is Octavian Radu Chis, and I’m a student @ Greenwich University – 3D Digital Design & Animation. Obviously, I’m interested in 3d graphic design and my plan is to work in film or game company as character designer. Besides university I’m also studying Japanese on my own and I have a strong will, so my plan is by the time I’ll finish this university to be able to speak Japanese an fluent level.
I also have an internet page (status: Work In Progress) where you also can find a few informations about me. As I’m a beginner in blogging and web developing please be kind cos my turn it’s coming. 😀 Those who want to learn more about blogging, we can learn together and also share opinions. Subscribe to my blog and for sure we will get in contact. Do not hesitate to criticize my blog or my internet page, I would love to know everyones opinion so I can improve. Looking forward to hearing from you. Until then, Happy New Year to everyone.
