Returned to Maya to practice some modelling, based on a quick doodle sketch of a little monster creature. The translation from 2D to 3D isn't quite there yet...But more to come!

Business Card designs

I've been working on putting together some business cards - I am currently thinking of using rendered stills from the koi and the crane as the front.
