Last year, Jort van Welbergen announced his new studio, Pathfinder, where he and his close friends and colleagues work on a variety of projects ranging from Games to Film to VFX.
Jort started as a concept artist at Guerrilla Games, working on Horizon Zero Dawn. After his time at Guerrilla, Jort moved to Manchester to work on Star Citizen. As a freelancer, he worked on games and films such as Marvel Eternals, House of Dragon and A Quiet Place, first as a senior artist, later as a lead.
Steven started out as a VFX artist. working with clients like ILM on the full VFX pipeline, seamlessly blending CG into camera footage. For quite a few shots, Steven had to design everything from scratch, such as when working on Jurassic World. This experience set him on a path that would eventually lead to working as a concept artist on The Rings of Power and many other shows.
