-ABOUT “GERM”

My name is German Roverso from San Francisco California but my friends know me as “Germ”. Since as long as I can remember I always knew I would fuse my 2 passions somehow and become an artist for video games. Everything from my first NES, my competitive Smash Bros. career, art college, the game testing years at Sega, and now my years in video game production have led me to where I am now.

I take an incredible amount of pride in my work. My focus and versatility as an artist is focused on visual development for video games from Mobile, PC, to AAA console titles. I have been in the industry as a professional for 13 years now and have worked on many amazing projects during that time, and have been drawing my entire life.

Though my focus has mainly been all aspects of 2D art, I have worked closely with multiple disciplines across production such animation, 3D, tech, UI, design, and marketing. I am forever a student of art and a product of the massive influences in my life. Many things such as daily obstacles, video games, film, music, philosophy, and pop culture have all had a creative impact on my pen.
