I created the 3d model of the first Highguard iteration of Condor, bird, and her dreads (seen here) before her outfit was adjusted into a different direction. Great to see she has evolved into something even cooler. Good luck to a great team that allowed me to push her skin darker & face gentler 🫶

Little repost, I'm trying to manage freelance work with portfolio work inbetween and I'm struggling a bit with that. But new work is in production, just a bit slower. I'm also giving up the clubs rocking newyears challenge since I had some personal struggles the past few days

Drawing of Quorra (from TRON) leaning against a Light Cycle. Probably thinking about how awesome she is. Or maybe she's thinking about how awesome YOU are!

A graphic with a photo of myself in the center of the image surrounded by 8 digital art pieces that I created. A digital painting featuring three tents in a forest as a campfire burns between them at nighttime. The only sources of light—the campfire, the moon, and the fireflies scattered about the scene—softly illuminate the tents, grass, and surrounding evergreens. A large, bearded monster with glowing eyes and great tusks can also be seen looming in the distance. A digital painting featuring Yugiri Mistwalker from Final Fantasy XIV standing with her back turned to the viewer, outstretching her arm for a falcon that is about to perch as she stands on a tiled rooftop in the city of Kugane. Across from her is Kugane Tower, a massive wooden structure that touches the clouds. Other birds seem to be flocking to the tower as they soar across the orange sunset.
