My name is Heiko Achilles, also known as "phoenix". I've been working as a graphics designer since 2000, as a freelancer since 2003. First things first: I love my job! More than any thing I did before. I made many things before - painting, programming, music, electronic toys, writing, street portraitist, ... - sometimes I even thought my interests were spread too wide. But when I learned level graphics and design - first with Doom, Warcraft/Starcraft and Half-Life, later as a professional 3d game graphic designer during the project "Zanzarah - the hidden Portal" - I saw that I could benefit from each of the experiences I had made. And I won't quit this job so easily ;-) The insolvencia of the company funatics development in 2002 , where I was employed as a graphics designer on a regular basis, couldn't change this as well. In the meantime I am working as a freelancer now. One of my projects as a freelancer was a Transrapid Simulation for the Company CodeCult. Currently among other things I am working for the company funatics software GmbH on the project  "Joshua - the Seals of Darkness". My main focuses are landscape/Architecture/Leveldesign, which includes all neccessary works - draft and design, creation in 3ds max, texturizing and matte painting. I am also experienced in character design, skinning and animation. I like to work alone - and also in a team. On-site or at home. I am searching the best possible effect for your project with much time and patience - or am finding a good and acceptable solution even under extreme pressure of time. My main goal is to find the effect for your project, which fits your wishes and your plannings best, and gives the player the best possible pleasure.
