Art Portfolio

I specialize in creating fantasy-inspired artwork that blends realism, surrealism, and gothic aesthetics. My portfolio showcases a range of 2D digital and 3D modeling projects, crafted with tools such as 3DS Max, Blender, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine. Through intricate detail, I bring to life fantastical creatures and strange environments that immerse viewers in otherworldly stories.

Exploration

Exploration in art is the foundation of my creative process. I approach each piece with a commitment to thorough studies, meticulous reference gathering, and thoughtful critiques. This structured exploration allows me to refine ideas and deepen the storytelling in my work. By blending detailed research with an openness to experimentation, I craft visually rich and imaginative worlds that resonate with mood, emotion, and authenticity.

Colour & Light

Color and light are integral to my artistic storytelling, and I approach them with precision and intention. My process involves three passes: the initial shading to define form, directional light to establish focus and depth, and mood light to evoke emotion and atmosphere. This layered technique ensures that each piece is both visually striking and deeply immersive, capturing the essence of its narrative

Character Design

Character design is a balance of form and meaning in my work. I begin with the silhouette approach, ensuring each design is visually distinct and immediately recognizable. I carefully consider the cultural context, emotional resonance, and accessibility of each character, crafting designs that are not only compelling but also inclusive and deeply rooted in their narrative purpose.

Visual Storytelling

Visual storytelling is at the heart of my creative process. I develop characters and environments in tandem, ensuring they complement and enrich each other. Every scene is filled with intricate details and thoughtfully designed props that bring the narrative to life. Each location and character is given a backstory, weaving a cohesive and immersive world that invites viewers to explore deeper layers of the story.

Environment & Props

Environment and prop design in my work focuses on creating a harmonious blend of shape and flow to guide the viewer’s eye and enhance the overall composition. I experiment with both digital painting and matte photobash techniques, balancing imaginative creativity with realistic detail. This approach ensures that every environment and prop feels cohesive and contributes meaningfully to the story being told.

3D Development

My journey in 3D development is one of growth and discovery, supported by a strong foundation in 3DS Max, ZBrush, and Unreal Engine. I create detailed environments and props, blending technical expertise with artistic vision. Additionally, I design basic landscapes within these programs, which serve as a framework for exploring light and shape in my digital paintings. This integration of 3D and 2D techniques allows me to push the boundaries of my creative process.
