M1 Abrams Battle Tank, 2019

An updated version of my Abrams Battle Tank from 2014, using the 

Arnold renderer. A new background and the addition of the 

"Mike & Tina" customizable character rig, created by 

Jason Baskin, in the gun turret round out the scene.

"I'm a Little Teapot" Short, 2019

A short that I created while testing the capabilities of the "Mike & Tina"

 rig created by Jason Baskin. All animation, lighting, background asset 

modeling & texturing by me (except the easel; I wanted something 

specific for that). And, yes...that Alfred E. Neuman painting really 

does sit on an easel in my studio. :)

Cinematic Artist Test, Larian Studios, 2019

A cinematic artist test that I was asked to take as part of my application  to Larian Studios. This is a cut scene from "Divinity: Original Sin 2". I was  given the character rigs and a two page script to complete a stand alone short.  This cinematic, characters, and voiceover assets are all property of Larian Studios.
