I am proud to share my work on the upcoming animated feature 'Monster Mia' (2026) from my time at Arx Anima.
This project was a key opportunity to bridge high-end character artistry with complex technical workflows, where my role evolved from modeling to establishing production standards for facial performance.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS:
- CHARACTER MODELING: Created 3 characters from 2D concept to polished 3D models. Handled retopology, UVs, and technical refinements for 6 production characters plus additional crowd assets.
- BLENDSHAPES & PIPELINE: Developed the facial blendshape workflow in collaboration with Rigging. Sculpted the full facial shapes for the protagonist and 6 additional characters, establishing the production standards for the film.
- DOCUMENTATION: Co-authored facial workflow documentation to ensure visual and technical consistency across the department.
- SURFACING SUPPORT: Contributed to the texturing and surfacing of one character using Substance 3D Painter and Houdini.
