Hey! I am joining Bluesky too!
Looking for a place where I can share my art and thoughts without worrying about the content being fed into a Gen AI model. Let's see how this will go! 😅
Keep in touch! 🥰

ZBrush TIP:
Using Decimation Master on a subtool over 8M Polys can start destroying the mesh. This is very hard to solve inside ZBrush.
Export the subtool as an OBJ into Blender, Apply a Decimate modifier and import back into ZBrush.
I have decimated 40M poly objects in Blender without any problem.

Creating things with my own hands is the way I am coping with the AI clouds that shadow my future as an artist.
Painting that rust was really satisfying!! Brown+red+sponge! 😁

Today is my birthday and marks 37 years on this beautiful rock in space! 🥰🍰
Hopefully to many more. 💚
May I ask for reposts of my art? It would mean a lot to me!

Still one of my favorite pieces. It stands 27 inches tall but I would love to scan it and offer smaller sizes one day. ‘Hello Ladies!’ needs a hen one day as well.😊🐔

The THU Sketchbook series is just beautiful to watch. 🥰
Sketchbook Series - Trojan Horse Was A Unicorn
A beautifully filmed and edited interview diving deep into sketchbooks.
From 2022 when I was a guest of the creative gathering in Portugal. Thank you André, Maria, Rute, and the rest of THU for a memorable experience!

Negaduck was a blast to sculpt!
The chainsaw version was my favorite but, unfortunately, it wasn't approved. The version that hit the stores is the one in which he is holding his hat.
Anyway, I am glad I got to work on this piece. :)

I sculpted this TMNT figure for QMx. I was also responsible for the concept. I am posting both so that you can see how it started and how it ended :)
