Thanks, everyone for the support on my post yesterday!

It's been a while since I added a new project to my portfolio. Even if it's nothing big and took some time, I'm still proud to have completed it😊

It's been a bit of a road block, but I'm excited to create new art now😤💪

Some render passes for my most recent project :))

Looking to make a full post very soon! 😁

Another Sculpt Render I finished yesterday :))
April 1, 2025 at 2:41 PM
Doing some final renders for my project, aiming to get a full post by the end of this week 😁

Starting with some sculpt renders since these are always fun to see. Excited for this to be done soon!! 😊

I got sick last week, but I was able to make a bit more progress on my little project. :))

After checking my values, I made more lighting and texture changes, and I think it looks better.

Worked on the foliage and made some changes to the lighting last week 🍀💡

I'm happy with the changes I made, but I may reach out to some folks with more lighting experience to get some feedback😊

Gonna move back onto texturing after taking a break this weekend. Wish me luck 🤞

Little update on my project in engine :))

Gonna work on adjusting the foliage some more today 😄

Gonna call this sculpt done for now. I'm quite happy with how this turned out and I'm excited to move onto the next stage at this point finally! 😁

Very close to finishing this sculpt! Been making changes after getting some really helpful feedback and getting close to the finish line! 😁

Still need to go back and forth with some of the wood, but we're almost there!! :))

Update on the wheel sculpt so far. I'm happy with how this came out and wanna make sure I finish this project on time, so gonna call it good for now. 😁😅

Shoutouts to my amazing girlfriend @wenxinart.bsky.social for teaching me how to do the rope! You the best 🥰

Made some more progress on the sculpt for my project a bit ago. This time it was the wheel!!

I'm pretty happy with how things are coming along, but still have a bit to work on and finetune 😆😄
December 18, 2024 at 2:56 PM
First Sculpt pass for this project!! 😁

Happy with how it's coming along so far, the wood studies I did earlier are helping a ton during this process. Will need to go back and make some changes, but it's coming along pretty well 😄

Started a new project today! Got the blockout and some basic lighting in the engine :))

I haven't finished a portfolio project in a long time, so I made sure to scope this one much smaller in hopes of finishing it, unlike all my other over-size projects 😆

Wish me luck everyone 😁

Any RWTs are appreciated! 😊

I did some more sculpting practice this weekend. Made a table, but you can't see its tiny legs, unfortunately. 😅

I think I'm getting better at creating the smaller details now which is exciting :))

Not too sure if I'll come back to do the metal thought, but I'm happy with my progress! 😄

Did some wood sculpting practice this morning, still aiming for the Wayfinder style :))

I think I'm getting closer and closer, slowly, but surely. I still see some things I can improve upon, and I'm enjoying the process, so I plan on doing more practice this weekend! 😄
November 9, 2024 at 6:44 PM
Did a little sculpt study over this weekend. Trying to imitate the Wayfinder style a bit. Didn't 100% finish but wanted to share anyway 😅

I noticed some improvements I could make, so will give it another go soon! :))

I'm thinking of remaking a treasure chest for a little mini-project. I made one for my first environment so it'd be interesting to see how much of an improvement I can make 🤔
