Perhaps more than any other kind of 3D modelling, I love making bizarre creatures. Since early childhood I’ve been fascinated by the work of special effects and makeup artists like Stan Winston, Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, and Ray Harryhausen, and the fantastic monsters from the films I grew up with are still my biggest inspirations.

It’s extremely satisfying to find a design that has the impact I’m looking for – while also appearing anatomically plausible – as are the challenges of then refining, texturing, and painting it to really bring it to life.
