I specialize in digital concept art, but I also use Unreal Engine to develop environment designs and pre-vis in 3D. I use my experience in UE5 blueprints to visualize gameplay mechanics and special effects in the Niagara system. From enchanting visuals and charming characters, to satisfying gameplay mechanics and dramatic cinematics, I love finding ways to breathe life into fantastic stories.</exhibitor_bio><exhibitor_bio_image><img src="/about/our-work/annual-exhibition/2024/chrystal-hemphill/images/287-350.webp" alt="Chrystal Hemphill"/></exhibitor_bio_image><exhibitor_thumb_image><img src="/about/our-work/annual-exhibition/2024/chrystal-hemphill/images/highresscreenshot_2023_05_09-11_08_16-300.webp" alt="Chrystal Hemphill"/></exhibitor_thumb_image></item>
