There was a time when I believed I could build a career in game development. I naively thought I could land a role creating characters, driven by passion and a strong will to succeed.

But over the years, reality proved otherwise. Serious games aren't made alone, and despite my efforts, I couldn’t find the right collaborators. Meanwhile, the industry itself is undergoing a major transformation.

This project stands as a symbol of that past  a personal chapter that gave way to a new direction. It showcases the traditional character creation pipeline: starting with references, then modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, rendering, compositing, and post-production. The final asset is fully prepared for use in game engines, reflecting both craft and closure.
