A quick mock up of the initial project pitch.

Various UI assets used in the project.

A short looping animation of two detectives riding through the countryside on a train.
Animated in Blender and composited in After Effects, with all props and characters being originally modeled, textured, rigged.

Features painterly style clouds animated through Blender's geometry nodes.

A remodel of one of my characters, Fleur Bellamont. Modeled using topology made for animation as well as utilizing Blender's geometry nodes features for the hair cards & boa feathers.The character was textured with handpainted work done in Substance Painter as well as Blender's own texture painting system.

An estoc style sword designed for the primary character of my Senior Animation Project, Arin Knight. Modeled in Blender and textured in Substance Painter, the sword serves as an extension to the elegant and stylish personality of the character that wields it.

The main character of my senior project. He's one half of the leading detective duo working in the Empyréaux district.The textures were handpainted using Substance Painter with custom rigs for rigging his hair and jacket's physics.
