Portfolio of Merlijn Van Holder
Welcome, my name is Merlijn Van Holder, I’m an amateur game artist with an endless passion and willingness to learn. I currently specialize in level design, while learning 2D and 3D game art at the same time. My goal is to be able to produce levels from start to finish (concept, design, textures and models) for a variety of themes.
The feature to the right was originally an entry for a level design competition where contestants had to create a bridge. I got carried away and added lots of detail on and around the bridge, yet it turned out to be a success and won the contest. I plan to use the scene, bringing it into a Half-Life 2: Insurrection map that I’m working on.

Tuesday, 22 August 2006 I updated the gallery, projects and résumé pages. Progress on Project Hull-Breach and Insurrection is still blooming, so I expect to have some new shots online soon!
Monday, 21 August 2006 Cheers to Sam Rayner for creating the latest version of my site, this has got to be the sexiest one to-date. I’ll be working on bringing in more content in the future, which speaks for itself.
