Finally, I’ve finished this sculpture! It took me about two weeks, but it’s done! It’s been a fun (and tough) experience. 🤍
It’s based on a concept by Ying Shi.

Here's my latest project that took too much time (or had too much break!) ✨

I started it a looong time ago, I really wanted to finish it, but then I had to change job twice (closure+layoff), so my energy was elsewhere!

It's another fanart of Ni No Kuni:

Hi Bluesky, just wanted to share this here. A while back on the other site, I posted a short breakdown of how I made the plants for our cancelled ARPG at Timbre. We were going for a gummy and chunky vibe.

Pay what/if you want! Goes to my tired mom coffee fund.

I am happy to share with you some behind the scenes notes on how I created the chunky and gummy bear look of our vegetation at Timbre. This is from our style guide and was meant for anyone on our team...

Guess who finally posted their work on Concord 👀

Even with all the extremely unfortunate events that happened, I’ll always hold my experience working on the game and with the talented folks at Firewalk fondly 🫶🏾

Look at the high poly Skycrane helicopter I made for Jurassic World Evolution. I was tasked with all stages with designing, concepting, modelling, texturing and getting it game ready.
