Daniel Dociu

Daniel Dociu
                The most recent work of Daniel Dociu is centred on the upcoming MMORPG by ‘ArenaNet’, ‘Guild Wars 2’. ‘ArenaNet’ is one of only a few companies that encourages its artists to be involved with Art competitions within the Games Industry, including Daniel Dociu’s latest entry being shown at ‘Into the Pixel’.
Daniel Dociu grew up in Romania, which is rich with architecture influencing him at a young age, and although his parents wanted him to be a doctor, he had other plans, where he finally got a top grade in a masters degree in Industrial Design.
Speaking of ‘Guild Wars 2’, he is the Chief Art Director at ‘NCsoft’ and being highly rated among his peers, his artwork is literally the building block to the architecture within the game.
                Ever since joining the Games Industry from being freelance, he has worked as a concept artist/art director for games such as the SSX series, James Bond and Guild Wars, all of which have a concentration on architecture.
                His preferred art technique is painting on a canvas, which allows him the chance to create depth within the painting for metaphors and emotions, trying to communicate to the audience.
