LEON (SPY) BRINKMANN IS THE LEAD MAPPER for STRIDERMOUNTAIN ,

Hello, my name is Leon Brinkmann, I'm 43 years old and live in the Netherlands.
Right from the start I loved video games. I have seen the whole progress from the old tennis video game, to Pac Man and on to these days with games like HL2, Crysis, etc.
I started sp-mapping (I only design sp-maps, have never made one mp map) about 6 years ago. I loved the 3d game Duke Nukem so much that I made around 70 sp-maps with it in 2 years time. from there i went on to Shadow Warriors and Napalm. They where still made with the old Building Engine (editor), and it didn't have real 3d. People who know the game will know what I mean. You could look up right away but only for about 75%. then game the real 3d editors, i started with that with Quake2 and unreal tournament 2002. a real 3d surrounding gave much more possibilities and I loved it. from Quake2 and having made 9 sp-maps with it i came to Medal of Honor and Soldiers of Fortune2. and Sof2  took me to a whole nother level. made 24 sp-maps with it, from what 20 are released. with Mohaa I made 9 levels from which I still need to finish the 3 best ones, haha.
The last few years I have been mapping with games as HL2, Prey and Fear, specially HL2 stole my hart, already I have made 4 sp-mappacks and a 15 sp-map mod called Coastline to Atmosphere together with Baltic.Forever with it. People can best look at my own website or sp-mods.com for download link or screens of all work when should they like to play them.

I'm not a professional leveldesigner, although I could be. After the release of my first HL2 sp-mappack I was contacted by a Canadian game company who offered me a job as leveldesigner, but that would mean I had to relocate, from Europe, the Netherlands. so i had to turn them down, what was not easy because i would love to work as one. now I'm aiming on getting the job as one at Crytek, because they're located in Germany and I love they're games.They are one of the best in the gaming industry!
I always am creative and my normal work is being a freelance illustrator. Most of it is commercials and advertisement. In my teen years I made a lot of comic books, and several are published in Europe. But I love mapping more now than drawing, simply because mapping can give me those environments that you can't draw, simply because a drawings is 2d.
