As a hopeful environment artist, I couldn't look anywhere else for inspiration other than where my most favorite environments came from, which was Bioshock! This is my love letter to the game that truly started my obsession with world building and storytelling. All assets are created by myself in Maya and I used Substance Painter and textures.com to create the materials. This project ended up being a much bigger bite than I originally meant to chew off. My goal is to get into the video game industry so while I was creating this scene, I was also teaching myself as much as I could about the workflow in a game engine. Having all my renders completed in Unreal was my biggest goal and I'm proud that I made it to the finish line. This was such a fun final project and I can't wait to create more!

This was a project for Lighting and Texturing course. I had a lot of fun focusing on the fabric textures and making them look like something you could touch.

The lantern was my first introduction to Substance Painter and PBR shading. As a model painter hobbyist in my spare time, I really fell in love with this process.

Another lighting and texturing project! (These were my favorites). The antique books were definitely my favorite part of this assignment.

These were projects over a few of the animations courses! The 2D ones were in Toon Boom and 3D were in Maya. Rigs: Walk Cycle - Ultimate Bony Rig by Ugir Ulvi Yetiskin Shootout - The Punisher by Daniele Scali
