Thanks for taking the time to visit my site! Here you will find much of my work over the last few years, that propelled me along the journey to becoming a 2D and 3D artist. I'm primarily focused on lighting, shading, and rendering optimization, as well as compositing in both After Effects and Nuke. I prefer Maya and VRay, but I'm fluent in mental ray as well. I also do some concept art and digital painting. Enjoy!
