Bring Your Stylized or Realistic Game Characters to Life, on time, with optimized low poly. Are you looking for a reliable 3D character artist who can take your 2D concepts and turn them into fully rigged, game-ready assets? I help studios and developers like you transform ideas into engaging, optimized characters built for Unity, Unreal, and custom pipelines, on time and with uncompromising quality. With over a decade on Upwork (since 2010) and experience managing teams of up to 15 artists, I specialize in building scalable character pipelines for both mobile and PC games. I’ve worked on projects from early concept through final implementation, and I’m just as comfortable collaborating with developers as I am leading a team of artists. 🎓 Trained by the Industry's Best I studied 3D character modeling under Shane Olson (Disney Infinity) and completed advanced game animation training through industry-leading online schools. This foundation ensures every model I deliver is not just beautiful, but also optimized and ready for animation or mocap integration. 💼 What I Bring to Your Project 🎨 3D Character Art - High-poly sculpting and low-poly modeling for games - Clean, organized UV unwrapping for optimized textures - PBR and hand-painted texture creation - Stylized or realistic character production - Asset optimization for performance and platform targets 🤝 Rigging & Facial Systems - Body rigging for animation and mocap compatibility - Face rigging for real-time facial tracking and ARKit - 52 blendshapes for iOS/ARKit facial animation - Custom rigs tailored to gameplay needs 🕹️ Game Animation - Locomotion (walk/run/idle cycles), jumps, and traversal - Combat systems: melee, ranged, magic, takedowns - Cinematics and cutscene animation - Facial animation and performance capture - Motion capture cleanup and editing (using Maya) - Interactive gameplay animation blending 🤝 Full Pipeline & Production Support - Full character pipeline: concept → model → rig → animate → integrate - Collaboration with developers for engine-ready delivery - Version control (e.g., Perforce, Git) for team workflows - Asset naming, LODs, and game engine implementation support ⭐⭐⭐ Why Clients Work With Me - Consistent Top Rated Plus and a 100% job success score over the last 5 years.
