"Bread on a Board" Scene
2024, Zbrush, Substance Painter
This scene was a 2-day project inspired by a fresh loaf of sourdough on the counter. This scene was modeled in Zbrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered with Iray.

Shrimp Cocktail Commission
2023, Zbrush
I was commissioned to 3D model a realistic shrimp cocktail for a commercial in 3 days. Here is the finished commercial where the real filmed shrimp cocktail flakes off into gold and transitions into my shrimp cocktail which you can see in detail at the end.

"Rascal" - A DnD Companion
2024, Zbrush
This is another mini-project (3 days) based on talented concept art from LinkedIn. This DnD companion was sculpted and painted entirely in Zbrush. I began by blocking out the shapes with ZSpheres, then transitioned to Dynamesh for detail refinement and painting. I then poly-grouped, creased, and re-meshed the model and then projected the polypaint of the high-poly model onto the lower-poly model. I love to practice translating 2D concept art into 3D assets, and this project was a fun, short and sweet creature for my portfolio.

Spotted Hyena
2024, Zbrush
This was a test-sculpt for a job application. I was asked to 3D model a spotted hyena inside of Zbrush in 3 business days. The hardest part was simulating the fur in the simplest way possible without ending up with a super high poly count. I used a combination of sculpting brushes, alphas, and color with polypaint to create the illusion of fur strands.
