Sea-Themed Attractions – Immersive World-Building
This series of theme park attractions is designed with a strong, cohesive visual style, using deliberate shape language and tone to create an immersive underwater world. Every element contributes to a unified experience, making the environment feel rich and believable.

• Art Direction & Execution: I led the artistic vision, ensuring consistency across all designs. Every piece was concepted, modeled, and textured to reinforce the overarching theme.

• Tools & Process: Designed in Procreate, modeled in Blender, and textured in Substance 3D Painter.

• World-Building Approach: Focused on crafting a sense of place, ensuring that every form, texture, and color choice supports the theme, making the attractions feel like part of a larger, living world.

Origami Tank Battle – A Classroom Showdown
This project brings an imaginative twist to tabletop gaming, setting origami-style tanks in a playful classroom battlefield. Players navigate around notebooks and pen cases, blending the intensity of strategic tank combat with the cozy, familiar charm of a school setting.

• Artistic Vision: The goal was to create a visually engaging experience that remains competitive yet inviting, ensuring accessibility for casual players.

• Tools & Process: Designed in Procreate, sculpted in ZBrush, modeled in Blender, and textured in Substance 3D Painter.

• Design Challenge: Balancing the contrast between destruction and warmth was key—using soft lighting, paper-like textures, and playful proportions to maintain a lighthearted tone while preserving strategic depth.

• Optimization without compromise: To enhance performance and maintain visual quality, I generated a skybox of the environment instead of rendering full 3D surroundings. This decision significantly reduced draw calls and poly count while preserving the immersive feel of the game.

  • Performance Gains: Optimizing the scene with a pre-rendered skybox helped streamline rendering, making the game more efficient without sacrificing detail.

  • Visual Control: The skybox approach also allowed me to manage depth of field naturally, eliminating the need for additional post-processing effects.

  This balance of optimization and artistic control helped ensure the game ran smoothly while maintaining its cozy yet competitive aesthetic.

Tiger Zodiac Warrior
This character represents the tiger in a series inspired by the Chinese zodiac. Set against a backdrop of towering bamboo, she embodies strength and agility. Designed for game implementation, the model is low-poly and fully optimized while retaining a striking silhouette and visual appeal.

• Tools & Process: Concepted in Procreate, sculpted in ZBrush, modeled in Blender, and textured in Substance 3D Painter.

• Technical Approach: Focused on maintaining a balance between detail and performance, applying efficient topology and optimized textures for game-ready use.

Community Heroes – Delivery Worker
This character is part of my personal project highlighting community workers as everyday heroes. Designed to celebrate the vital role of delivery workers, this piece is the first in a series that will also include a cross guard and a firefighter.

• Tools & Process: The initial design was created in Procreate on iPad, then modeled in Blender and textured in Substance 3D Painter.

• Functionality & Challenges: Since I plan to turn these characters into physical toys with articulating joints, extra attention was given to designing functional, movable parts while maintaining a strong visual identity.
