I created this a while back but forgot to upload it! Bard from League of Legends chilling :)

Slightly different colours for the turn table 😊

Might have overdone it with the candy 😂

In celebration of League of Legends Worlds 2018!

Experimenting with color combinations so I have around 6 different renders of this one... in the end I have no idea which one I actually like XD

Been marathoning Danganronpa so had to make some fan art *w*

A little lowpoly arcade scene inspired by Stranger Things. Originally wanted to do more animations and turntable but just rendering this one image almost killed my old shitty MacBookPro... can't wait for my new laptop to arrive.

Been working on this Halloween image for way too long, mostly spent experimenting in Unity. Still need some time before I learn to make things look pretty! Also really need a tablet soon so I can paint textures.

First model after moving to London! Don't have access to my PC so been working on my Macbook... 3D modelling has been difficult especially since I'm not used to the shortcuts. Hopefully will get better with time!

I've animated it in Unity, really excited to experiment with shaders etc in the future!

Been watching lots of streamers speedrun Cuphead and I absolutely love the art style of the game, so really happy to make some fanart for it :)

Hi! i really love your designs, they're so cool and creative. I was wondering how you learnt to make them, are you self-taught or was there a course you learnt from? Love your work, have a nice day ;D

Thank you! I learnt from YouTube videos and experimentation. There’s a lot of well made Blender tutorials you can find just by searching on YouTube. And anything you don’t know can be answered over various forums. I haven’t done a course for 3D but I’m currently learning Unity from a few courses on Udemy so that is also an option. :)

As usual, the timelapse of my Ramen Boat now up on YouTube!

Last from my mini food stall series! Cozy little ramen shop on a boat, once again inspired from my trip to Japan :)

Sorry to bother you, I have a blender related amateur question: in your timelapses, when you add materials and try out different colors, you can see the colors on your objects in the 3D view window in object mode immediately. When I apply a material, it's only visible in the rendered version. I have no experience whatsoever with blender so maybe I just forgot to tick a box somewhere, but if you could think of anything that would solve my problem that would be awesome

No bother at all happy to answer questions!

I can see the colors in my 3D view because I have my Viewport Shading set to Material instead of the default Solid. I don’t think it has a shortcut like Rendered (Shift Z) or Wireframe (Z) but you can change that in User Preferences. Details see this thread:https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?238418-keyboard-shortcut-to-switch-the-viewport-shading-to-the-cycles-renderer

Hey I love your work I really wanna learn how to use blender but its so difficult. How did you learn?

Thanks Skyerin :D I learnt predominantly from YouTube tutorials and experimenting in Blender. I find that the most efficient and satisfying way to learn for me personally, is to pick something you want to make (not too complex, simple but something you actually want to create) and research everything you need to know and experiment until you can make it. 

As for your second question, my recent stuff takes around 5-7 hours to make.

Hope that helped a little!
