character/creature generalist

here is all my best Personnals project during 2023

           Adult Amphibious Squirrel 

This lovely little monster is based on a concept made by Thierry Lafontaine (Senior painter at Imaginism Studios) and Bobby Chiu. I was looking for a new concept on ArtStation, something cute but not too cute. I loved the shapes and the fact that it was a mix between a squirrel and a frog/axolotl, was adding craziness to this concept.

When I’m working on a personal project, I always want to create a version that extends beyond the original concept. This is why I decided to imagine the adult version of the character.

This character is from a series of projects aiming to increase my skills and knowledge on rigging. It required the usage of various software such as ZBrush, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, Arnold, and Photoshop.

                        Crab Project

I really loved worked on my Craby ! I used Zbrush, maya, Mari, nuke and I rendered with arnold. It was a really cool project to practice more about modelling and to learn more about rigging. The idea comes from moana where I loved the crab ! So I decided to get inspiration from this one and I made my own version.

Thor anim version, Facial anim project

The Idea behind this animation project was to create a full facial rig and learn facial rigging. I also wanted a concept so I created an anim thor concept and did a 3D character from this sketch.

the animation was challenging as I'm not an animator but at least it's very cool to see the final result :)

                               Dragon

Here is my cute Dragon, made in zbrush and Rendered in Maya.

The idea was to take reference on an Ai concept made by these AI artists and create an animatable Dragon.

I think Ai can be a powerful tool to create concepts so this is why I decided to follow this workflow
