About ArtsByKev

The mindset of ArtsByKev has always been to entertain and inspire.

Back in 2019 Kevin started his own venture within the field of media and marketing. YouTube industry. ArtsByKev has since been working with many already famous content creators and teams within and around the scene of Minecraft, providing value with his many tutorials and creative Blockbench models.

In 2020 he began working as a full time Art Lead for another Official Minecraft Marketplace Team where his animations brought Microsoft’s attention to the map called “Haunted Mansion Battle”.

Around the time this map was being developed, he saw a need for easy to grasp tutorials which resulted in this ever growing playlist of Blockbench Tutorials by ArtsByKev: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvULVkjBtg2SezfUA8kHcPUGpxIS26uJR that today keeps inspiring and helping more and more people to discover the joy of Minecraft game development.

The several years of studies and a Masters Degree in Computer Science and Serious Games has given ArtsByKev a lot of knowledge to share during projects in the studio as well as the many external clients and content creators he work with on a daily basis. Today, with the growing studio taking on multiple types of media production - he is constantly branching out into multiple frontiers and would love to see you join us all along the way!

Some of the development tools we use:

Unity Engine, Visual Studio, FMOD, 3D Studio Max, Blockbench, Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Abelton, and more.

ArtsByKev specialize in cartoon themes, where vibrance and strong visual design the focus.

Community

I’ve been lucky to get overwhelming support over the years.

The community is constantly growing. Together we nurture having an open mindset where all memebers actively promote a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Here the fans comes together to chat about their day to day life, share stuff they’ve created and help others with tips and ideas. Many members come to hang out during the occasional Livestreams to socialise and chat with Kev and other viewers.

I also aim to be highly responsive in the comment section of all videos and on the community pages over at the ArtsByKev YouTube Channels.

Minecraft

ArtsByKev has been a Minecraft creator since 2014, and began playing all the way back in the late Alpha stages of the game at the classic period from 2009 and its official release back in 2011. Since then he has been seen in conjunction with several Build Teams, such as Pandoras Blocks and Hypixel BT. Favorite building styles are nature secenery, terraforming, medieval and immersive vanilla scale proportion structures. His favourite tools are GoBrush, GoPaint, VoxelSniper and WorldEdit. It’s rare any World Painter is used, as the building style of reaslistic height mapped terrain isn’t always optimal for the preference of stylized and/or cartoon themes.

Texture packs and custom geometries are always an opt in alternative for any ArtsByKev projects - as these can increase the visual and compositional value of a piece by several times its default outcome. Trees, bushes and foliage are some of the most commonly affected, edited or 3D modelled visual assets that can help to bring a whole new level of quality to a build or scenery when made by a professional. Prior to Blockbench, ArtsByKev was a fond user of Cubik.

Blockbench

I opened Blockbench for the first time the 7th of August 2020. was the first time Kevin opened the 3D modelling software known as Blockbench. Since September of the same year he has been consistently producing crazier and crazier models alongside his video tutorials. ArtsByKev’s creations has been seen by many millions of people, all over the Minecraft and gaming community, and his Blockbench creations are spanning the online world all the way from the Minecraft Marketplace to multi million subscriber YouTubers’ video content - and has helped clients earn over $500,000 during 2021 alone.
