    Wild Wyatt's Gold Nugget Wagon

    Failed prospector Wild Wyatt, garnering his name from suffering from the effects of the Mad Hatter disease due to long-term mercury exposure, has finally struck gold! No, not the metal kind, but rather in poultry. Everyone’s gotta eat, even miners, turning his former mining wagon into a certified chuck wagon. Wyatt now finds himself in mining camps serving western-inspired cuisine. Only question is… is he actually serving chicken in the middle of nowhere, or are we eating buzzards?

  • Sal, a shady but charming Italian-ice vendor character, fully colored. Line sketch of Sal's Italian Ice cart.

    Sal's Italian Ice

    After years of working in the…family business, as you could call it. Sal, here has decided to take up a retirement job down south in Florida, far away from anyone who might know something, and he’s smart enough to claim that he knows nothing! After multiple incidents of what he claims was a heart attack due to the stressors of keeping up with the family’s work, Sal knew it was time for a career change. However, old habits do die hard as Sal finds himself weaving in and out of actions that could be deemed morally grey to some, but hey, he does make mean Italian ice! Who cares where or how he gets his ingredients, or who his shady nephew is…His prices are great, and the treats are better!

3D Models

Romeo & Juliet · ZBrush

For this project, I was asked to create a new take on Romeo and Juliet. I had envisioned these characters to be for a children's show and created and pitched the idea if it was being sold to the Hasbro company, thus the very rounded character designs. The characters are from rivaling families of superheroes and villains; however, outside of their hero or villain costume the kids are unaware they are enemies and form an attachment to one another.
