3D Character Artist & Character Modeler

Upwork

Jul 2025 - Present • 1 yr 3 mos

Develop 3D character concepts and digital models for clients working on games, animation, collectibles, and creative projects. My work focuses on translating reference images, written briefs, and rough sketches into distinctive characters with clear silhouettes, expressive features, and visual direction. I work across stylized character design, fantasy character modeling, monster sculpting, creature design, cartoon characters, humanoid figures, and game-ready asset concepts. Depending on the brief, I develop character proportions, facial features, costume details, surface forms, and accessories to help the character feel recognizable and fit its intended world. I also create animal-inspired characters, mascots, action-figure concepts, and collectible character models. My workflow begins with understanding the target audience, visual references, intended use, and technical requirements. I then establish the key shapes and proportions, refine the sculpt, and prepare agreed deliverables for review. I value clear communication, organized revisions, and practical file handoff, so clients understand what is included before production moves forward. For projects intended for 3D printing, I can help prepare the model for the agreed output and flag visible issues that may need attention. Printing success still depends on the chosen process, scale, material, and technical validation. Game and animation requirements such as retopology, UV mapping, textures, rigging, and engine-specific setup are confirmed separately according to the project scope. Whether you need a fantasy hero, creature sculpt, stylized NPC, monster model, mascot, or character concept for a product, I aim to deliver a thoughtful visual solution aligned with your brief and production goals.

3D Character Sculptor & Creature Modeler

Freelancing Career

Jun 2025 - Present • 1 yr 4 mos

Create custom 3D character models and creature sculpts for indie game developers, animation teams, toy makers, content creators, and personal projects. I help turn concepts, reference images, sketches, and written descriptions into digital characters that fit the intended style. Project types include game character sculpting, fantasy creatures, monsters, stylized heroes, cartoon characters, animal characters, humanoid models, NPCs, action figures, collectible statues, and character models intended for 3D printing. I focus on proportions, silhouette, facial expression, costume shapes, props, and surface detail, adapting the finish to the brief. I follow a collaborative process: review the brief and references, confirm the visual direction and deliverables, build the main forms, refine details, and share progress for feedback at agreed milestones. This keeps expectations clear and allows feedback before handoff. I also confirm file formats and downstream needs early, for game, animation, or fabrication workflows. Depending on the project, deliverables may include a sculpted 3D model, agreed export formats, presentation renders, or a model prepared to specified 3D-printing requirements. Retopology, UVs, texturing, rigging, animation, engineering checks, and print testing are separate unless included in the offer. I do not claim a model is production-ready for a particular engine or manufacturing process without confirming the relevant requirements. My goal is to make character development straightforward through reliable communication, careful attention to references, and deliverables matched to the client's intended use.

Residential CAD Drafter & Home Improvement Planner

Architecture

Apr 2025 - Present • 1 yr 6 mos

I provide residential CAD drafting and space-planning support for homeowners, builders, contractors, and property professionals who need clear drawings for renovation, outdoor improvements, and property development projects. My focus is on converting project briefs, sketches, measurements, and reference materials into structured architectural plans that communicate layouts and dimensions effectively. My work covers 2D floor plans, house renovation plans, home addition layouts, residential site plans, plot plans, garden layouts, backyard landscape plans, front yard arrangements, patio plans, and terrace layouts. I help clients organize indoor and outdoor spaces while keeping circulation, access, boundaries, and the relationship between existing structures and proposed improvements in view. I prepare dimensioned drawings and editable CAD deliverables where included in the project agreement. Depending on the requirements, I can assist with existing and proposed layouts, outdoor living areas, garden zones, walkways, seating areas, and the placement of landscape features. I also support the preparation of agreed architectural and site drawings for city permit applications using information and requirements supplied by the client. A key part of my workflow is clarifying the project scope before drafting begins. I review available measurements, sketches, site information, and local documentation requirements to identify missing details and reduce avoidable revisions. I maintain organized drawing files, use clear annotations, and incorporate feedback according to the agreed revision allowance. I understand that every property has different dimensions, constraints, and priorities. For that reason, I tailor each drawing package to the client's actual needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all layout.
