            A detailed 3D character blueprint showing topology lines

            The Blueprint.

            Every great character starts with a comprehensive plan.

            My foundation in the full 3D pipeline ensures every stage is built for success.

            Expressive Sculpting.

            This is where personality takes form.

            My passion is sculpting memorable, stylized characters with appealing shapes and perfect, efficient topology.

            A beautiful model is only half the story.

            I build robust, intuitive rigs that empower animators to achieve lifelike performances.

            Autodesk Maya

            Maya is the central hub of my pipeline. It’s where I assemble the final character, build intricate rigs, create advanced shader networks, and compose the final cinematic lighting.

            ZBrush

            This is where form and personality are born from digital clay. I use ZBrush for all high-fidelity sculpting, focusing on expressive, memorable characters with clean silhouettes.

            Arnold Renderer

            The final render is where light and shadow complete the story. I leverage Arnold for its powerful, physically-accurate rendering to create beautiful, cinematic images.

            Substance 3D Painter

            A character's history is written on its surface. I use Substance Painter to tell that story through texture, creating everything from realistic skin to stylized wear-and-tear.

            Photoshop

            Photoshop is the tool for both the first spark of an idea and the final, polished image. I use it for concept sketching, mood boards, and final render compositing.
