I completed this 3D scene during my last term at VCAD and I am very pleased with what I have created and how far I've come. My focus for this project was experimenting with stylization and creating my own textures to keep it consistent. I wanted my scene to look as though it was made with watercolor or other 2D materials as if a painting was transformed into a 3D environment. I enjoyed adding little details to bring this small cafe to life and seeing the progression of my work.

This project was my first-ever attempt at 3D character modeling. It was an extremely difficult process, but I soon began to get the hang of things and I am very pleased with the result. I enjoyed seeing what started as a concept sketch evolve into a 3D figure and found the process very satisfying in the end. The character was modeled in Zbrush and Maya. Textures were done in Adobe Substance Painter and initial sketches in Adobe Photoshop.

These are some studies I did on the human figure. I always enjoy practicing the various shapes and elements of the body, so I've collected a few of my favorite recent life drawings. All the illustrations were done in pencil.

Here is my progression from the initial sketch to the final concept piece for my new "Cyber-bunny" character. I came up with this character after feeling inspired by the incorporation of robotic/cyber tech and fashion (with a hint of mecha). I really enjoyed the challenge of trying something new! I look forward to experimenting with larger-scale robots and more intricate cyber-ware.

A recent concept of a character I thought of. I wanted to illustrate an interesting character with lots of little things to look at. I wanted to experiment with some gradient shading techniques that I haven't used in a while and play around with different blending modes to create interesting colors and depth.

An original character inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology. I wanted to create a mysterious character of a girl who is Isis reincarnated. She is reunited with a large dog (Anubis) who helps guide her through the desert. I look forward to doing more with this character and where she will take me!
