The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a 3D environment project focused on hand painting. I attempted to replicate the 2D concept as close as possible, while making a few stylistic choices that helped form it as a 3D piece. I am extremely proud of the project overall and also how far I was able to push the textures. I love this painterly style and hope to make more hand painted pieces in the future.

Slime Research Cave

Slime Research Cave

This project is a Slime Rancher 2 inspired cave that I created in the past 6 weeks. The assignment was to study a company or game, and then recreate their style in a modular environment. So, I decided to create a research station located inside of a cave. My goal when creating this scene was to capture the liveliness of the game, as well as grow my skills with sculpting, foliage, and trim sheets. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the process, especially creating the composition of the environment.

Retro-Futuristic Bunker

Retro-Futuristic Bunker

My goal of this project was to create a sci-fi bunker inspired by retro futurism, using a softer and cleaner aesthetic than one may think of when they think \"apocalypse\". I especially enjoyed creating the composition and set dressing, as well as creating the PBR materials and trim sheet.

Cuckoo Clock

Cuckoo Clock

I am extremely excited to share this fantastical stylized game-ready asset. My main goal for this project was to create something using my own concept, while also exploring further in sculpting and texturing.

Bubble Huts

Bubble Huts

Creating this environment was a crazy process from start to end. This was my first time creating foliage, trim sheets, and tiling textures, and I am super proud of the way they came out. I can\'t wait to work on more environments in the future. Based off of concept by Mengxuan Li: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aGyzbJ
