​​My designs are never complete because I always find something new and exciting to add.

James Penniston

I am a kind, caring, considerate guy who can build amazing things with his hands and mind. Creating and designing things is my niche along with having fun with everyone around me. I am not afraid to make new friends and meet new people. I'm friendly and can get along with anybody. I like to make the best of each moment and to cheer people up, or to make someone's day. I love working in groups because when you combine everyone's efforts,skills, and helping compensate each others' weaknesses; the result is greater than what I could have created alone. 

​

I love Japanese culture: their language, art styles, technology, architecture and more. I use a lot of these as inspiration in my art and designs. The one symbol that I have admired since I was a child is robots from different Japanese cartoon series (Anime) such as Transformers, Power Rangers, and most of all Gundam. The mechanical way about them, how the move, how they work is amazing and inspires me to add detail to everything I make.

​

I love to play video games, mainly Halo. The genres I like to play are First-Person Shooters (FPS), some Role-Playing Games (RPG), Racing, Action-Adventure, and Strategy. I helped make an FPS in college for a Final Project in 2D Animation. I have also worked in the Unreal Development Kit (UDK) in 3D level building classes but had trouble with the coding. I'm good at 3D modeling, some texturing, and importing and placement of items/objects in UDK.

​

In order to keep up my creativity and to change things up: I like playing Minecraft for the building qualities it has to offer even if it means building with 3D Legos. It helps me figure out how big something needs to be, where to add the extra detail, how to hide traps, placing hidden doors and adding optical illusions. It also helps with my planning process of an object from creation on grid paper to the final product in-game.
