ALT ARTIST
I had a few goals with this character: to experiment with a painterly style and learn about Unreal and its real-time asset, material, and rendering workflows. After playing around with a few different looks, I settled on something that emphasizes the hand-painted texture work without being completely unlit, sort of similar to Arcane.
Character: 27k tris, 4k maps
Props: 144 tris, 1k maps

KNIGHT
A fun sculpt inspired by a character from the book, The Knight and the Moth. It ended up being a good exercise in hard modeling in ZBrush.

BLACKSMITH
This character is loosely based on this concept by Patri Balanovsky. This is an older piece that I revisited after a few years. I updated proportions, revised some forms, and completely rebuilt the textures. It was exciting to see how my artistic and technical skills evovled since I first worked on this character.

BITMOJI (SNAP INC.)
Some optimized, real-time assets I made for Snapchat's avatar, Bitmoji. These images were taken from the app. My responsibilities for each of these avatars, starting from the left, include: 1) hair, jacket, and pants models; 2) hair textures, shirt model and textures; 3) hair model and textures, pants model. Each of these items followed strict visual and technical guidelines to fit within the Bitmoji world and performance constraints.

ANIMALS (BIG DREAMER DESIGN)
These are two of many animal sculpts I created from loose references for large-scale 3D printing in a mini golf course.

BODIES (MONKEY CHOW ANIMATION STUDIOS)
A set of modular bodies I built from concepts for an animated short film that required 50+ characters. Many unique heads were attached to these bodies to streamline production.
