Modeled and textured with Maya, Mudbox and Photoshop.

Provided concept art, I modeled and textured the Body and the Book, and provided game resolution version of the assets.

The main character, Gabriel, from Castlevania Lords of Shadow. This is one of many assets I worked during my time at Konami. I received a high quality version of this character  from the game and had to do an overhaul optimizing to get it to the PS Home standards while preserving the perceived quality of the original game character. This was an avatar for Sony Home. It's a character avatar you can purchase on ps3 home store.

I worked on the UI with photoshop and after effects. I Modeled space ships and some floating platforms In Maya.

This video contains 4 shots I worked on for the M. Night Shyamalan film, After Earth. I worked on more than this but this was all the studio was able to dig up for me.

This is a creature model I made while taking an organic sculpting class online. The class was taught by Gio Nakpil and the creature concept art by Rob Bliss. 

I animated all the shots with the Perfume bottle. I modeled and rigged the tassels as well.

This is a short animated web advert I produced during my time at Konami. We where given less than two days to pump this out. I rigged, Animated, Lit, Rendered, and comped this together. There was some creative freedom on this but there was zero time to polish and refine. It was very stressful but fun none the less.

I worked on a 3D character for a Game Music Composer and good friend of mine, Luke Esquivel. It was a blast to do! I made him a Street Fighter style Avatar that he could use to play in game.  This video is was used as an intro to his set for a DJ battle he performed at Magfest 2017.
