Bristol Sanatu Lakshas

Washington based Technical artist of many trades, real-time vfx and shader enthusiast.

When I am not slinging siḷa or conjuring metaphorical iḷitqusit for games, I champion indigenous presence in media by co-creating animations for my people.

I am an Inupiaq Technical Artist with heavy specialization in VFX. My home is Alaska, but I am currently living and working in the Sequim, WA area.
 

I love all things that sparkle, go boom and/or are visually pleasing! My main goal in my career is to facilitate interactions between technical teams and art teams, make fun vfx and shaders, and leverage tools I create or use to alleviate labor costs. 
 

I'm not just a tech art robot powerhouse, but a person with interests & hobbies too! I wouldn't be where I am without the mentorship of another technical artists, so I like to mentor technical art students. I am also passionate about Inuit culture, and helping people like me who struggle with their Inuit identity. Some of my favorite pass times are gardening, beading, weaving, and sewing.
