ZUKO 3D (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

For this project, my primary aim was to incorporate a stylized effect, all of that coming from my 3D base. The idea was to create a dynamic visual 2d/3d feeling, this involved a lot of shading work and hand-painting techniques. Mario Halloween 2023 was my project that pushed me to learn from my mistakes and try something more complex for this character.
It was a pretty fun project.
Created with Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, arnold and Xgen for the hair.

BELLE

For several months, I have been working on this personal project from a movie that I deeply love,
BELLE directed by Mamoru Hosoda.
I made different posts based on every song of the movie, You can take some time to appreciate each video and each dress for the character.

(all 3D aspects done by me)
