Self Portrait Sculpt
It's ski season!! I had too much fun making all of this, as it was a passion project that I had planned ever since I got into 3D. It was a journey of nonstop learning and getting out of my rigging comfort zone to dive fully into sculpting. It was intimidating to think that I'd need a full character done in a few weeks, and I'm still surprised by how much I was able to learn and do in that time. This is also my first time doing a real time render! ALL aspects done by me.

Arctic Outpost
Slated on a frozen ocean, this pod belongs to an experienced survivor of an outer rim arctic planet. In this slightly futuristic setting, the person has fully adapted to what was once a completely alien planet, and the well used tools and objects in the scene convey the time that they have spent there.

Mandalas
Originally started as a simple light and smoke simulation experiment, I got the idea to complete a series of mandalas using the prop lighting techniques I learned.

Vis Dev Class
These are some pieces from a visual development class I took. All pieces were used to learn different aspects like liquid, metallic, and glass rendering. All modeling, colors, lighting, and rendering done by myself.

Personal Fun
These pieces are simple, but represent so much for me. I made these to escape the pressure of academia and social life, and in experimenting when bored, I made pieces that convey the rawest form of emotion I've ever made.
They show highs, lows, and the emptiness of a post covid world for me.
