This retro robot model was actually modeled in 2017 during my internship at our company. It was originally made for a promotional email for clients. But then I brought it back and made some updates for the wallpaper design.

3D Coat exercise from class this week - painting gems from real-life reference! Wanted a fun challenge to interpret an object into a stylized prop to practice both painting, and processing information. #3dcoat #handpainted

Got permission to showcase some of my professional work! So I'll be posting more art when their ready. But I wanted to start with this piece first. This was made as a custom wallpaper for our computers at the office. The design took inspiration from the mural and posters around our building.
