Character and Game Art

Here you can find my character and game related work 3d work. Currently most of the content here is personal work, but I have been doing freelance character work for the last several months on an unannounced title for an indie developer and should have a lot of new work to show in the near future! If you have any questions about my work feel free to email me and I'm always interested in any freelance opportunities!
