About

An enthusiastic Honours graduate of VFX and Entertainment Design (BCAVEED), trained in a variety of 3D digital art programs. I am a Filipino currently operating out of South Australia.I am a hard-working and experienced team player who loves to 3D model. Who keeps quality and organisation at the forefront of my work.I’m eager to learn and to experience new challenges, and have taken the time to get to understand every facet of the 3D pipeline, so I know how to accommodate my team's efforts as much as possible.

I've worked as a 3D freelance artist for content creators on VRChat and have participated in a variety of game jams.

Merge Miners

Freelance work for Adelaide developers TopChopGames. I worked on the minerals and basic mining tools, where I was required to make a variety of variants over a short period of time.

The art style for Merge Miners was very minimalist so I chose to create simplistic but readable designs. Each side of every ore block has a different pattern for ease of variety.
