While I didn't properly learn how to make sprites until 2023, technically my first experience with it was the 1992 SNES classic, Mario Paint. Around mid-2022, I started backing up my physical collection of retro games, and my last save file from the aforementioned game contained some "custom stamps" I'd made back in 1998. These were characters that a friend and I came up with, so I took some screenshots and decided to re-create them now, since I have a better understanding of how 8- and 16-bit-era sprites were made. It was a lot of fun to revisit them using my current style and techniques. I feel that the revised character sprites better reflect what I had in mind when I created the originals oh so long ago. I used Affinity Designer's Pixel Persona for the sprites, and DaVinci Resolve's Fusion for the editing and motion graphics.

I'll have a full 3D modeling reel uploaded very soon, but in the meantime enjoy this little "Christmas present," a poinsettia modeled and textured by me. Also dedicated to my grandma, who loved poinsettias. Software used: Maya, Photoshop.

Since it's winter and all, I thought I'd try modeling a block of ice in Blender. This was all pretty simple, and used no additional plugins. Special thanks to these tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qES5WMBXOWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTKvOVswqpA

Another Blender demo, this time to better familiarize myself with the Array modifier. I made a simplified version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, titled at 4°, just like the real thing. Inspired by this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGmxoyQPplo
