Aspiring Digital Artist


Hi! Here's a bit about myself

Since a young age I've known that I wanted to follow a carreer path in something related to computers. After trying programming, game design, and digital art, I believe to have found myself as some form of Jack of All trades.Prizing myself on fluid, clean and simple designs, I believe to have found a true passion in my work, and would like to possibly see a future alongside you.Here are some examples.



My Portfolio

Much of my work was seen done through school, and to display my progress in the short time I've been there, I'll post both beginning and late works.Feel free to click on some of the images to get a better look, however some of them are lost to time. I would recomend right clicking on your screen and pressing open link in new tab so that your place on this page isn't lost!

For the first time I was drawing and learning how to use shading and negative space to my advantage. While I was immensely happy with my progress, I also began to struggle. Battling through depressing thoughts and worry of failure, I persevered. Soon, these thoughts served as the very inspiration for my work.

As semesters went by, I discovered a passion like none other before. I began to love modelling, and my first experience of it was through simple clay techniques, and paper mache!

Sadly, this was also the time where Covid began. Many of our projects remained unfinished such as the two above, as we began to move towards a more digitalized approach, marking my passion for 3d modelling.

I fell in love with it! The geometrical approach to it all combined my mathematical brain with art, and I feel as though I flourished more than ever before.I also discovered photoshop and photography, as well as some minor animation tests thanks to these classes, see below!The animation focused artpieces were too big to fit on the site, so see them using this link; https://imgur.com/a/CXgqk8X

School has tought me so much, and I want to keep learning so much more! However, many of its projects were limiting in what I wanted to explore. Let's have a look at my original pieces!



It wasn't long before I began to explore something I found quite cool, modern logos and digital design.

My presence in digital art exploded! I am so proud of how far I have come in just two years.Below are some more examples of my work, however they contain rather odd styles either using things such as video games for photography, or decorating systems to practice my indoor design. My official portfolio ends here, but feel free to look below! Some of my best work is there.



Here is some of my more odd work.From exploration of lighting, depth of field, and indoor design.

First, my video game photography, using custom visual effects and poses all created by myself. Thank you Final Fantasy 14 for having such a beautiful game to work with.

I also grew incredibly fond of interior design, as specially when mingled with my skills in exploration of lighting and composition!
