Hello,
I offer personalised mentorship for character artists who want to strengthen their artistic foundations, improve their technical skills, and develop a clearer direction for their portfolio and career.
With eight years of experience across stylised and realistic character pipelines, I have worked on AAA productions, hand-painted characters, real-time hair and fur,
and full character creation.
I also have experience:
- Leading more than 30 artists across five outsourcing studios
- Reviewing more than 200 characters, creatures, and prop assets
- Developing production pipelines and documentation
- Mentoring students at New3dge and Artside⠀
Personalised Mentorship
Each mentorship is adapted to your current level, goals, and the type of artist
you want to become.
What We Can Work On
- Character design, shape language, anatomy, and visual storytelling
- Stylised or realistic sculpting in ZBrush
- Topology, UVs, texturing, and production-ready workflows
- Hair and fur creation for real-time projects
- Portfolio reviews and project presentation
- Artistic and technical feedback on personal work
- Building a stronger and more consistent portfolio
- Understanding professional pipelines and studio expectations
- Career direction, applications, and interview preparation
- Developing confidence and learning how to evaluate your own work
My goal is not only to help you improve a single asset, but also to give you the tools, structure, and feedback needed to continue progressing independently.
Whether you are a student, a junior artist preparing their first portfolio, or an experienced artist looking to refine their skills and direction, the mentorship will be shaped around your needs and ambitions.
