Hello! I’m my name is Robin and I'm an a 3D Artist specializing in character, prop and environment modeling.
 

Tools like Maya, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Figma is my best friends for almost 5 years.

 

Recently featured by 80.lv and 2025 Spring Show Awards.

Worked for short animated films for children in my native language, to support preserve the endangered ethnic culture of Yakutia and its native language. 

 

My passion is making people’s lives brighter. 
My goal is creating high-quality, concept-accurate, and production-ready models — for game development and animation pipeline.
