Tucho Fernández Calo
Director at Madruga Works
Porto do Son, Spain
Summary
I am a seasoned game artist, I've been working in games for more than 20 years in companies such as Grin Studios or Ubisoft and also as freelancer.
I've created models for more than 20 released titles, some of them AAA ones, such as 'F.E.A.R.3' or 'Risen 2'.
In the last years I co-founded the companies 'UFO Crash Games' and 'Madruga Works' and currently I work fulltime on our own projects: 'FullBlast', 'Planetbase', 'Dawn of Man' and 'The Mobius Machine' are the ones released so far.
