WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH ME
Creative vision meets technical versatility.I work across the entire 3D production pipeline— from concept art and modeling to animation and final rendering. This allows me to see the bigger picture and find effective solutions at every stage of production.
From concept to complete digital worlds.I combine character creation, 3D animation, and Unreal Engine workflows to create expressive characters, immersive environments, and cinematic experiences.
3D Character Creation
CREATING A STYLIZED 3D CHARACTER FROM SCRATCH
MEET KLOPA
THE CHALLENGE
How can a character combine an adorable appearance with a dangerous personality?
I started with Klopa’s story—a small creature surviving in a world filled with toxic fog. Her personality became the foundation of the visual design, which I gradually brought to life as a fully realized 3D character.
CONCEPT ART $\rightarrow$ SCULPTING $\rightarrow$ RETOPOLOGY $\rightarrow$ UV UNWRAPPING $\rightarrow$ TEXTURING $\rightarrow$ ANIMATION $\rightarrow$ CINEMATIC
CHARACTER DETAILS
Klopa’s personality shines through in the details—from her vibrant turquoise hair and expressive face to the small accessories and textures that make her design unique.
BRINGING KLOPA TO LIFE
Giving a character the freedom to move.
The rigging stage prepared Klopa for animation, allowing me to explore her movement and test how her personality comes across through different poses.
ꕥ BEYOND THE MODEL
Klopa’s final presentation brings
together her visual design,
carefully crafted details,
and distinctive personality.
Different angles and expressive poses
help reveal her character
and establish her place
within a fantasy world.
3D Character Animation
FROM SIMPLE SHAPES TO COMPLEX CHARACTER PERFORMANCES
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
THE CHALLENGE
How can simple animation exercises become part of a whimsical journey through a fantasy world?
Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, I created a series of animated scenes connected by the atmosphere of the Looking-Glass world. Each scene explores timing, weight, inertia, and expressive motion—progressing from simple objects to more complex animations.
☥ THE RESULT
I explored the fundamentals of 3D animation through a series of motion studies, experimenting with timing, spacing, weight, and inertia to give simple objects a believable sense of movement.
By connecting these exercises through
the atmosphere of the Looking-Glass world,
I transformed technical animation studies
into a whimsical journey where even
the simplest shapes become part
of a larger story.
HUMAN BODY MECHANICS
THE CHALLENGE
How can natural human body mechanics be transformed into expressive animation within atmospheric environments?
I explored walking, running, jumping, and character interactions, focusing on balance, weight, timing, and expressive movement.
