Current Testimonials

Matt Lichy, Contract Artist - Bungie

“I spent a good year working with Kayl while at Bungie. During all that time, he continued to grow as an artist, and also teach many of us new tricks. Kayl has a vast background in 3D, and a broad knowledge of different 3D packages and game engines. He definitely knows how to make an impression, and present himself in a professional manner. He also knows how to make work more enjoyable for everyone, and will always leave someone laughing. I believe Kayl has much to offer wherever he goes, and will continue to grow as an artist and spread the knowledge he as accumulated over the years.” - May 24, 2010

Esequiel Garcia, Contract Artist - Bungie

“Kayl Myers is a Game World Builder who has a solid foundation in CAD, drafting, and commercial architecture and it really helps ground his work in realism as an environment artist. From building an object, a centerpiece, through massing out an entire level, creating materials for it, mapping it, finishing it, lighting it.......you name it. He is a hard working and practical artist who understands the balance between work and home life and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty fixing up his truck and is good with a wrench. Lately he has expressed an interest in begin more creative by further extending his efforts into the game worlds of fantasy, sci fi and npr stylization. I would look forward to working with him again.” - May 24, 2010

 

Past Testimonials

Laurent Coulon, CEO - Former Liquid Dragon Studios

To whom it may concern:

Until just recently, I have been Kayl Myers' immediate supervisor at Liquid Dragon Studios since his hiring in January of 2007.

Kayl was initially hired as a contract employee but was made a permanent member of the studio in August of 2007 due to the value of his contribution to the team. Throughout his employment, Kayl has been a very enjoyable employee to work with and a great boost to the team's morale.

Kayl is a take-charge, self-motivated individual that actively seeks responsibilities. He is very easy to work with and extremely reliable. Kayl always maintained a cheerful attitude even when facing tedious or unpleasant assignments.

Kayl is an ideal candidate for any organizational or team leadership position. He has extremely good people skills and thrives in middle management tasks. At his own request, he was put in charge of handling all dealings with outside contractors on our last projects and he performed flawlessly, smoothly handling any issues that came up during that time.

We were saddened to have to let go Kayl Myers along with a number of other employees due to recent financial difficulties. His presence is sorely missed.

Based on my experience working with him, I would highly recommend Kayl Myers for employment. He will make a great asset to any team. If you would like further elaboration, feel free to call me at (425) 260-2605.

Sincerely,

Laurent Coulon
Liquid Dragon Studios, C.E.O.

Scott Talcot, Producer - Greenwave Games

“Kayl was a key member of the team we hired to complete our video game "Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm." He does excellent work. In addition, he is willing to tackle repsonsiblities beyond the "traditional" role of a video game artist. As an example, Kayl created a high-quality "gameplay trailer" that was a critical part of our PR and marketing strategy. It's a pleasure working with Kayl.”

James Youngman, Designer - Former Liquid Dragon Studios

“Kayl is a multi-talented artist; skilled in not just traditional and 3d art, but also sound and video editing. His many skills, and ability to effectively handle multiple assignments make him a valuable team member.”
