About

Solveig Horsfield is a Vienna-based 3D Character Artist specializing in character sculpting, modeling, and look development for games, animated films, and digital media. At 25 years old, she brings both technical proficiency and a genuine passion for continuous artistic growth to every project she undertakes.

Professional Background

Solveig studied 3D animation and games art at university, building on foundational interests developed through attendance at a media-focused high school. Rather than pursuing immediate studio employment after graduation, she chose the freelance path—a decision that proved generative. By actively sharing her work on social media platforms and building her portfolio through diverse projects, Solveig developed a steady stream of client work that allowed her to maintain creative control while expanding her technical range.

She currently serves as a 3D Character Artist at Roarty Digital Inc., a production house where she contributes to professional game development and character creation projects, including work on major gaming franchises.

Areas of Expertise

Solveig's portfolio demonstrates competency across the full character production pipeline. She excels at high-detail character sculpting in ZBrush, topology-aware modeling in Maya, material and texture creation in Substance Painter, and increasingly sophisticated grooming and simulation work using Houdini. Her experience spans character design, sculpting, texturing, look development, and creature grooming across multiple mediums—games, animated films, VR/AR, and digital collectibles.

Approach to Craft

Beyond technical skill, Solveig embodies a philosophy of perpetual growth. She views each project as an opportunity to master new challenges and develop fresh capabilities. Whether working within established creative franchises like Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive (for which she created official Premium Miniature sculptures), collaborating on fan projects that push her into new software environments (like Houdini grooming), or executing personal portfolio pieces that showcase her artistic judgment, Solveig approaches her work with both professionalism and creative enthusiasm.

Her commitment to learning, combined with demonstrated skill across industry-standard tools and demonstrated ability to work within both professional teams and collaborative partnerships, positions her as a thoughtful, capable character artist ready for evolving creative challenges.
