3D Model
Minifigure
The transition to 3D modeling and animation wasn’t easy for me, and so, during Winter Break I spent the time modeling my D&D character Raggamuffin with the intention of printing it into a usable tabletop minifigure.
This personal project gave me the opportunity I needed to explore the Autodesk Maya software; finding shortcuts and easier methods to improve time efficiency. It also gave me the opportunity to model something more humanoid and complex, rather than restraining the design for the sake of time.

PROJECT IS A WIP
I’ve been a fan of musical theatre ever since I was a kid watching Disney, Pixar, and DreamWorks animated films; on top of that I’ve been fan of mythology since discovering the Percy Jackson book series. I never thought I’d have the privilege of experiencing such a groundbreaking concept as EPIC: The Musical, a beautifully composed re-telling of the Greek classic The Odyssey.
One of my favorite song is My Goodbye, a song where Athena (Greek Goddess) is abandoning Odysseus (Main Character; King of Ithaca) as his mentor after deliberately disobeying her orders. Subsequently causing the chain reaction of misfortune that will follow Odysseus for the next ten years and prevent him from returning home to his wife and son (Penelope and Telemachus).

"Imagine a world where every monster, myth, and legend you’ve ever been heard of is real- and they’re living right beneath our feet"
An Isekai inspired concept where best friends Nova and Damian mistakenly stumble upon an underwater portal to a world not quite their own. "The Bottom" is a secondary plane of creatures that origins span centuries ago from all over the world. While trapped, Nova and Damian find friends and family that give them a temporary place to call home. However, they're unaware of the impending threat that looms over them- a figure that will only find peace once humans have been whipped clean from their world.
Below the Bottom is a long-term passion project I’ve been working on since all the way back in Middle School.
Tonally, I was aiming for a story that felt similar to many amazing series: Adventure Time, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Infinity Train, Gravity Falls, Total Drama Island, and The Owl House.
More than anything, I want to be able to tell these characters stories. I want to show the flaws, the struggles, the bonds, the changes, I want these characters to feel real. I've written many elements of myself and my relationships into this story in hopes of building a real connection with an audience.
