Character Art Portfolio

As a passionate Stylized 3D Character Artist specializing in mobile and console games, I create unique, clean, and optimized characters with a focus on beautiful aesthetics. I seamlessly blend creativity with precision to produce high-performance assets. My expertise spans 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and shader development, ensuring each character is visually striking and functional across platforms. With complementary technical art skills, I ensure my characters perform seamlessly in diverse gaming platforms.

Stylized Character bust (Mobile spec)

A mobile character specification for gameplay should be designed to perform effectively in both interactive environments and cinematic moments. This character must maintain visual quality in gameplay while also holding up in hero shots and close-ups. Key elements include:

Facial Topology: The character's facial topology should be optimized for lip-syncing and expressive facial animation, allowing for smooth and realistic movement of facial muscles.
Gameplay Performance: The character's design must be efficient for mobile hardware, ensuring smooth animation and interaction without sacrificing quality.
Hero Shots & Close-Ups: For cinematic moments, the character should have high-quality textures and shaders, allowing it to look detailed and realistic in close-up views, especially for emotional or narrative-driven scenes.

This balance of functionality and aesthetic quality ensures the character delivers a dynamic experience in both real-time gameplay and narrative moments.

Character sculpting

This is a fan art Sculpt of mine created in Zbrush for HL2 20th anniversary. I challenged myself to create this without using base meshes and build up the anatomy from scratch. It’s based on the iconic dystopian meto cop with a pin up twist.

RTS Character

Character created lookdev and rapid prototyping of a mobile game with a classic Dark Fantasy setting.

The asset quality is tailored for an RTS game where the final in-game models are viewed from a distance, typically from a top-down perspective. As a result, finer details and precision are less important than the overall silhouette and proportions. The focus is on readability of including clearoity of the character archetype from a far while also having a destint ocerally feel.

The character was a stylized PBR character with a vertical gradient technique from Dota 2 for readability from players perspective and draw attention to torso of the character.

I created the shaders in blender as a quick way to look dev the final result and build a shafer the I know will translate across to Unity’s URP including a toon outline.

For mobile Spec characters I am very experienced in taking a concept through to basic rigging and implementation into Unity or Unreal ready for animation.
