About

Stylized 3D artist working across the full pipeline — concept sketch to final render — for characters, environments, and props. What I do best is work inside an established art direction: taking a project's existing visual language and building assets that sit in it cleanly, at production quality. I work freelance with Ocellus Services, an art studio serving major game clients, with production credits on Clash Royale (Supercell) and Royal Kingdom (Dream Games). My role there is as a look development artist— creating and refining textures, baking maps, developing materials and shaders, and handling final look dev in Maya with Arnold, iterating with the art team until each asset passes review. Before that, as a 3D Generalist at Eyestorm Creative, I worked on Clash of Clans marketing campaigns, producing assets for monthly hero cosmetic launches — modeling, environment sculpting, texturing, shading, and look development, plus collaborating on 3D set layouts and scene composition. Earlier, at Lecten Games, I built and assembled game-ready assets and textures for Unity across multiple hyper-casual projects. Supercell Make recognition: • Winner — Clash of Clans "Haunted Village" scenery campaign, featured in-game (2021) • Top-5 Finalist — "Make a Magic Tower Skin" campaign for Clash Royale (2024), placing two of the five finalist entries in the public final vote • Finalist ×2 — Clash of Clans Temporary Troop Design Challenge (2025) • Runner-up — War Scenery and "Lost in Time" Colette campaigns The part of the job I like most is the turn from flat concept to finished character — getting materials, weight, and silhouette to read right so the asset feels like it belongs in the world it's built for. Tools: Maya · ZBrush · Blender · Substance Painter · Marmoset Toolbag · Arnold · Unreal Engine · Unity · Photoshop Open to freelance and contract work — character art, environment art, props, and full-asset production — with game studios, outsourcing and co-development studios, and animation studios.
