Summary

I am a 3D Character Artist for games specializing in creating realistic/stylized fantasy and sci-fi characters with attention to detail and storytelling. My primary tools include ZBrush, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, Marvelous Designer, Unreal Engine 5, Marmoset Toolbag, and Photoshop.

My dream is to contribute to AAA projects with a strong emphasis on storytelling, world-building, and inspiring character art. Titles like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, God of War, The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 are major inspirations.
