Side Projects

2021

This is an exploration of Unreal Engine 5. I had a blast trying new workflows utilizing the nanite and lumen technology. I already had a TIE Fighter model, which I modified to look heavily damaged, simulating a crash landing. Everything but the TIE Fighter was sourced from Megascans.

2018

The goal of this sculpt was to design a new Star Wars character inspired by Darth Maul. This character is a Jedi on the brink of turning to the dark side. The facial features and concept explores this tension between the dark and light side of the force.
