Digital Artwork

Artworks drawn and painted in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. No AI was used in the process.I've been involved in photo manipulation and digital painting as a hobby for over a decade. However, due to recent advancements in AI image generation, I’ve shifted focus toward other fields. I still engage in 2D design mainly as an editor adjusting visual assets, correcting artifacts, and ensuring visual coherence.

UI Design

Made on Unity with 2D URP. I designed, developed, animated, composed the soundtracks and created levels for the menu from scratch. Examples shown above are my first 3 attempts at creating functional and graphical user interface. Instead of the animation feature on Unity Editor, I rely mostly on coroutines to handle the visuals.

3D Texturing

When it comes to texturing, my specialty is skin as well as all sorts of features such as eyebrows, eyelashes, eyeshadows, eyeliners, tattoos, scars, beards, skin complexities and so on. For years I've created textures and maps for character customization in several social games. I can also use real life photos, morph and rework them into textures. Besides those, I paint custom normal maps to further compliment the overall design. As for the software, I use Photoshop's 3D workspace and paint on 3D objects. If the shader at hand supports multiple maps for better customization, I create all the assets separately like the examples shown below:

3D Clothing

While I’m not experienced in modeling wearables (except for accessories) from scratch, I can modify and prepare game-ready assets from existing meshes. The examples above aren't my work, rather some of the meshes I was tasked to integrate. My workflow is similar to how I handle hairstyles, with some differences such as painting item masks to hide painted body parts to prevent clipping, setting up UV maps for prints and complexities, setting up the elements or creating color mask for in-game customization in terms of coloring, weightpainting clothes accordingly (such as skirts and dresses requiring a more delicate approach for smooth animation without visual artifacts). In the end, I can integrate any kind of wearables as assets into games.

Logo & Banner Design

I design logos as well as banners using Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop, animate in After Effects and make into GIFs. I also create static or animated avatars, emojis, stickers, custom GIFs, and unique designs for Discord groups, social media accounts, and profiles. I like doing things with an outside-the-box approach to deliver results that would stand out as something unique.

Map Design

Map designs created using the 2D URP in Unity Editor. Sprites are sourced from real-life photos, processed in Photoshop, made transparent, refined and adjusted before being placed in a 3D environment, applied 2D lighting and created visually seamless parallax maps.I compliment my maps and improve further through custom-built shaders, particle effects, and coroutines for special effects such as lightning and light flickering.

Composition

FL Studio has been my go-to digital audio workstation for the past 13 years. I primarily compose using a MIDI keyboard and mostly the piano roll, working with VST plugins and effects. I can compose in any needed style, including electronic, classical, rock, medieval, new age, and synth-based music.

3D Hairstyling

Hairstyling is my main branch in 3D modelling. For several years I've created and modded game-ready and customizable hairstyles for several social games. I have mostly designed low-poly hairstyles with polygon count ranging from 5000 to 15000.My workflow for creating game-ready hairstyles involves building with my hair cards or receiving hair meshes and morphing them to fit characters, and optimizing polygons for smooth animation. I fix visual artifacts, adjust UV maps, and prepare textures, including customizable gradient colormasks for dynamic coloring. I refine weight painting to ensure seamless deformation during animations, add blendshapes for compatibility with hats and head accessories, and create LODs for performance. I handle scalp meshes to prevent bald spots if needed, set up and bundle in Unity, and test thoroughly to address any visual issues. Finally, I prepare icons, finalize the asset bundle, and handle integration through coding and encrypt the asset if required and release the update if authorized, ensuring a polished and functional in-game asset.Ultimately, I am able to take care of each stage autonomously, from asset creation to integration and taking administrative action to release prepared updates using file-to-peer and updated UnityScript Assembly to make it accessible for players in servers.

3D Prop Design

Besides hairstyles, I can also design 3D props. I can use reference images to replicate them in 3D environment. While organic modeling isn’t my forte, I can model hard-surface objects. My workflow prioritizes speed, ensuring artifact-free results with proper maps and normals without unnecessary time spent on complex topology for static objects.

2D Animation

I'm a beginner when it comes to animation. I can design characters into several parts and animate them with puppet animation on After Effects. While I can't do any complex animations, I can do basic move sets, create sprite sheets and use them on Unity Editor. I can also improvise basic animations with layering and visual effects using the available tools and keyframes.
