What Our Alumni Are Saying

Kris Catteau
Environment Art Mentorship - Jon Arellano

I'm currently studying game graphics production at a university in Belgium. While this university gave me a good base, I felt that I wasn't getting enough knowledge about industry pipelines. After careful consideration, I signed up for the Sierra Division Mentorship with Jon Arellano. Jon taught me so many new techniques and catered the mentorship to focus on the skills I was extra interested in. He's not only a great teacher, but also a really laidback and nice person to talk to. I had a great experience and highly recommend it!

Cody Trenholm
Career Guidance Mentorship - Jacob Norris

Jacob is an excellent mentor. He provided clear guidance and feedback that improved my art. He was always available to ask a quick question and I was very approachable. The Miro board was also an excellent way to share information. I've had a few mentorships over the years, but my meeting with Jacob was a highlight! I'll definitely think of SD again in the future when I'm looking for mentorship.

Jacek Barabasz
Environment Art Mentorship - Jon Arellano

As a 3D artist, this mentorship elevated my craft to a new level. The tailored guidance and in-depth focus on advanced techniques and trending industry workflows was exactly what I needed to refine my environments and push my art further. I highly recommend this mentorship to any 3D artist ready to push their skills and create truly professional work.
