Welp. She's gonna be done before Lightbox! Thank God cause I've been SO stressed trying to get this done. I'm really happy with where it's at. Still got a few things to work out, but once that's done, we're off to render it.

I'm RJ, a 3D Artist with a love for stylised environments and props.

I'm still aiming to find my first break into the games industry though it has been a rough year.

Would deeply appreciate any guidance from fellow devs ๐Ÿ’™

Now that the new massive Nighthaven update for New World: Aeternum is out I can share some new animation work I got to do! I've updated my demo reel with a bunch of new animations which are only a fraction of everything I animated on the project. #portfolioday

Yes I got to animate another birdman!
