The Old Man | Journey by Lunartics Production
The Main character of our final year short film at The One Academy. I was tasked with being the 3D Art director, character modeler, modeler, texture artist, and lead lighter during time with the project. The project was the cumulative hard work of 30+ hard working and talented individuals across the span of 3 semesters, it was definitely a great experience and a great chance to experience different workflows and styles that is out of our comfort zone and seeing how much we can push the idea to it's limits.
I mostly contributed to the character modeling and the lighting portion while also supervising the overall look of the short when transferring concepts into 3D and really couldn't done any of it without the respective leads and talented folks in their own individual departments. Be sure to check them out and support their works if you do come across them!
