Vert Count Collective – Game Art Workshops and Events
Welcome to Vertex Count Collective, a community for aspiring game artists looking to level up their craft, connect with others, and build a strong creative foundation in the world of game art.
This group is led by Joseph Pena, a professional character artist with 17 years of AAA experience at studios like Sony, Sledgehammer Games, and Skydance Interactive. Having worked on major titles like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Joseph is now focused on giving back to the next generation of game artists.

- In-person sketch meetups

Let’s create, one vertex at a time.
