Spread thy Wings so that we may reach our dreams, together! Caliban Dragon Knight 2.0 is here This was def one of THE most engineered models I've made as I took a lot of considering on how each of the pieces of Penne would Transform into the Dragon Knight Armor! 😁

Context: Earlier in the week, I had a dream about exploring the Multiverse of Tali Zorah, one of the ones I met was Tali as Cortana from Halo, so figured I try to doodle her! 🙂

"Nerds will be Nerds" Emily's main role is intelligence & Information. Her early career involved decommissioning Forerunner artifacts before joining Fireteam Angel. Often leads the team in S217's absence.

I could ship these two all day!

Made a similar render long time ago that was Destiny related and I wanted a new one with my robot knights 😜

Happy 15th Anniversary to one of my most beloved video games of all time, Halo Reach! The game that would define my gaming career for years and send me on the path to story telling. "Remember Reach" ~

Penne 2.0 is Here!!
The entire time I was working on this model, felt like working on a car in garage type of feel lol. Feels good to have my fav. little techno dragon back 😊Now I can work on a few Caliban renders I've had planned for a while!

"You've been in the dark by yourself for so long. You don't have to be alone anymore! Please! Let me bring you into the Light!"

a lil idea that came true only after testing out volume lighting. Also never made robots cry before. 😢

I know I haven't posted in a while mainly due to job searching & a mix of other things but I have been cooking 🙂Here is a little teaser for Penne's 2.0 design. She's going to look so awesome when she's done! Then I'll finally be able to work on some art ideas involving her.

Kyrie Lunara Voice Test Animation!

Easily can say facial animation test with Blender pose library was a huge success!

Starting on another voice test animation, decided that I'm gonna put in the extra effort & animate the face to the voice clip. Another thing I haven't done in years! but also first time using Blenders pose library feature. Honestly this is pretty cool! 😁 #blender3d #b3d #3d #animation

Little animation practice! Haven't done a walk cycle in years, & did my best to find a good walk cycle reference to use for practice! I hope small steps like this will help me improve over time.

"Jackal Snipers are always hard to deal with in this terrain"

Cold conditions in the artic forced him to modify his armor for heavy combat. His outpost would soon be invaded by covenant forces forcing them to evacuate & blow up the station.

I believe concept art for Caliban Dragon knight 2.0 is done! There will most likely be some more designing during the 3D modeling so not final but close enough to have something to start with. 🙂

"Don't be a bit of drongo, look for the sunrise mate!"

Little bit of a character spotlight, Liz- Originally part of the Spartan 3 program, she spent most of career as a lone wolf. But after an assignment involving S217 she transferred over to Fireteam Angel.

A little Voice Animation test for Lord Obsidius Rex. If I gave him a voice I would def. want something close to Matthew Mercer! This was a lot of fun to put together honestly! 😂

working on a new animation short featuring the new model. I just can't help but love the way I did the energy texture for this guy! There's a fire behind those eyes that says "test me if you dare"
