Darcy Korch

Position:
3D artist
Company:
Naughty Dog

My name is Darcy Korch, I am a 3D artist at Naughty Dog, which are the creators of such titles as Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, as well as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and our newly announced, Uncharted: Among Thieves. I begin work Naughty Dog out of school from the Art Institute of California, San Diego, where I graduated with a bachelor's in game art and design. I started at Naughty Dog in February of 2006 as a foreground texture artist, creating textures for guns, vehicles, and miscellaneous objects. After we shipped the First Uncharted, I soon after moved over to the character team where I am now. On the character team, I create hi resolution and low resolution characters, as well as the textures for the character models I create. Unfortunately my work on Uncharted 2 cannot all be shown; however you can view my work for Uncharted 1 on my website www.dkorch.com
