I really like birds and paired them with odd stereotypes, like a punk or a dapper old man. As you can see, the dapper Flamingo was my favouriteContinue reading Assignment 2 – Organic Modelling
This year has been really fun and interesting. I have enjoyed animating more than I thought I would, despite growing frustrated at times. Obviously, due to COVID-19, this is not the typical University experience, but I still enjoyed it and I can’t wait to continue in Year 2. Personally, I preferred 2D animating, but IContinue reading Reflection of the Year

I was encouraged to stick to it while being advised toContinue reading Final Piece and Reflection
For this semester, we were tasked with modelling an object of our choice: a sword and shield, a wizard staff, treasure chest, windmill, a sci-fi door, an old well and a mantel clock. After much deliberation, I decided to do the Wizard staff as I thought there could be many ideas that would work. IContinue reading Wizard Staff – Research and Design
