Sylvanas Windrunner – Fan Art Bust

This bust of Sylvanas Windrunner, inspired by Blizzard's World of Warcraft, was created as a personal fan art project for my senior capstone at Southern New Hampshire University. My goal was to showcase my character sculpting and texturing skills by reimagining an iconic figure from one of my favorite game franchises.I began the process by sculpting the high-poly model in ZBrush, focusing on detailed facial features and armor elements that capture Sylvanas’s commanding presence. The model was then retopologized and refined in 3DS Max to create an optimized game-ready mesh. I used Photoshop and Substance Painter to hand-paint textures, balancing stylized detail with realistic surface treatment to bring the character to life.This project reflects my passion for character art, as well as my ability to take a concept from sculpt to final render across multiple industry-standard tools.

Mystical - Game Environment / Level Art

“Mystical” is a stylized game environment created in Unreal Engine 5 as a level art and environment design project. The scene centers around a glowing forest sword inspired by concept art from the talented Moniek Schilder (Original Concept) , which I reimagined in 3D using ZBrush, 3DS Max, Substance Painter, and Photoshop.Alongside the hero asset, I modeled and textured supporting elements such as the tree stump and environmental rocks, and brought in complementary assets like the waterfall, foliage, and terrain from Polyart Studio’s Stylized Meadows Pack (Asset Source) to flesh out the world.The full scene was composed, lit, and rendered in Unreal Engine 5, with an emphasis on visual storytelling, soft atmosphere, and stylized composition. This project showcases my ability to blend original modeling with external assets, optimize for game engines, and build immersive, fantasy-inspired spaces.

Terramus the Overgrown – Stylized Creature Design

Terramus the Overgrown is a stylized, hand-painted creature created for a Creature Design course during my time at Southern New Hampshire University. Inspired by the exaggerated forms and fantasy energy of World of Warcraft, Terramus is envisioned as a nature demigod—a powerful guardian born from the earth to protect the world from invading forces.The sculpt was created in ZBrush, with retopology and UVs completed in 3DS Max for clean topology and engine-ready mesh optimization. The creature was then hand-painted and textured using Photoshop and 3DCoat, with a focus on organic forms, mossy surfaces, and magical forest tones.While this project represents my early work in creature modeling and stylized textures, I plan to return to rework and retexture the model to better reflect my current skill level and artistic direction.

Orc Warrior – Stylized Character Design

This stylized orc warrior was created as a character modeling project for a game art course at Southern New Hampshire University. Drawing inspiration from tribal fantasy aesthetics, the design emphasizes bold anatomy, exaggerated features, and storytelling through sculpted detail—reflecting the gritty, survivalist themes of orc-based worlds.The character was sculpted in ZBrush, with retopology completed in 3DCoat, UVs unwrapped in Maya, and initial texture work started in Substance Painter. While the full texturing pass is currently being reworked, this project is shown in its sculpted form to highlight shape language, form balance, and detail work.This piece is currently in progress for retexture and refinement as I continue to push my character modeling and presentation quality forward.

Dwarf Heritage Armor - World of Warcraft Fan Art

This stylized fan art piece was created as the final for my first ZBrush class, inspired by the Dwarf Heritage Armor from World of Warcraft. As my first full character armor sculpt, it challenged me to explore form, detail, and proportion in a way I hadn’t tackled before. While the piece lacks proper topology and UVs—since it was completed before I learned retopology, UV unwrapping, and texture workflows—it marked a huge milestone in my development as a 3D artist.Since creating this project, I’ve gained more experience with Substance Painter, 3DCoat, Zbrush and clean topology practices, and I plan to revisit this sculpt to rework areas that no longer reflect my current skill level. Still, I’m proud of the strong elements in the design and the foundation it gave me in sculpting stylized armor and layered character details.This piece is shown as a work-in-progress to represent how far I’ve come—and where I’m headed.

Student Game Projects – Inkwell Studio at SNHU

While at Southern New Hampshire University, I contributed to several collaborative game projects through Inkwell Studio, the university’s on-campus game development team. These projects gave me hands-on experience in character and environment modeling, Unity engine workflows, and cross-disciplinary teamwork in a studio-like environment.

Authority – Character & Prop Artist

Authority is a stylized 3D puzzle-platformer where players are split into two halves (legs and torso) and must cooperate to escape a corrupted digital world. I served as a Character Artist, modeling the game’s main villain—a warped arcade machine outfitted with a jet engine and saw blade arms. The model was created in 3DS Max, textured in Substance Painter, and rigged and animated in Maya (my first experience with rigging/animation). I also created various props like shelves, pencils, and office clutter to support the environment art.

Retribution – Environment Artist

Retribution is a 3D action game where the player controls Grendel, a rogue lab experiment. I worked as an Environment Artist, focusing on early level designs and modular lab assets. I sculpted in ZBrush, modeled and retopologized in 3DS Max, and textured assets in Substance Painter. Although my levels were later replaced during development, I gained valuable experience in level design, asset pipelines, and working in Unity to set up materials and lighting.

Cold Case – Simulation Game for NH State Police

For the Cold Case educational game, I collaborated with a team of artists and developers to recreate real-world crime scenes as interactive learning tools for law enforcement. I was responsible for modeling environmental assets and assisting with scene layout, contributing to the realism and clarity of the simulation. This project was built in Unity, and it deepened my understanding of visual clarity, spatial storytelling, and working with real-world references. Unfortunately, this project was scrapped after a semester of development.

Anime-Style Storytelling Game – Visual & Narrative Support

I also contributed to a narrative-driven anime-style game, where I helped build visual assets, model supporting props, create backgrounds, and assist in Unity scene assembly. The project emphasized expressive stylization, color theory, and player-camera composition—all of which helped me explore storytelling through visuals and set dressing. Unfortunately, this game was scrapped after a semester of development.
