• Senior 3D Character Artist at Gladius

  San Juan

  March 2018 - February 2025

  • Modeled and textured high-quality assets tailored for gaming and animation productions.

  • Created high-resolution digital sculpts of characters and optimized them to low-polygon models for PBR pipeline workflows as well as implemented them into the engine.

  • Collaborated with technical artists and programmers by working with shaders, scene assembly, lighting, character model optimization limitations, and shading inside Unreal Engine, while also using visual scripting, such as Blueprints, for VR game experiences.

  • Efficiently communicated across disciplines with the art director, production supervisor, riggers, and concept artists for feedback, troubleshooting technical problems, and identifying points of improvement in the visual language of the models.

  • Adapted character models to diverse designs within stylized and realistic art styles.

• 3D Character Artist at Freelance

  June 2022 - Present

  • I bring to life concepts from indie devs and other creatives for their projects and games, including my own.

  • Sculpted in Zbrush a hero character for an indie game in development, and optimized it through retopology in Maya to make it game-ready. Then proceeded to texture the character inside Substance Painter.

  • Sculpted and retopologized hero character creature and environmental assets for independent project demo within 2 weeks. Texture patterns were packed in RGB format for the game designer to have better control of the shader parameters inside Unreal Engine.

• 3D Generalist/Character Artist (Contract) at NULLFRAME (formerly Far Frontier Studios)

  June 2022 - September 2022

  • Modeled and textured optimized realistic game assets and props from references or concepts using Zbrush for sculpting detail, Maya for optimization, MASH for workflow efficiency, and Substance Painter to texture.

  • Worked independently while communicating with my producer for feedback to maintain the visual consistency and quality of the assets.
