ABOUT ME

Nice to meet you!My name is Leon, I am a VFX Lookdev and Lighting artist currently studying at the University of Hertfordshire. Although I specialise in asset creation I have a keen eye for composition and lighting. I have a strong knowledge of programs such as Maya, Mari, Zbrush and Photoshop, as well as some experience with Nuke and Houdini.My love for visual arts is thanks to creative shows like Adventure time and Czech stop motion animations. Whether I'm making music, drawing or painting, I love to create, regardless of the medium.Please feel free to get in touch.

RANDOM 42 LIVE BRIEF

For a live brief set by Random 42 Scientific Communication we were tasked with visualising a Hepatitis B virus travelling through the blood vessels and penetrating the liver cell.We were given complete creative freedom to design the virus as well as the environments. My concepts were inspired by deep sea creatures such as the Giant Phantom Jellyfish and the Bigfin Squid.Hope you enjoy!

DUNE BUGGY TEXTURES

Textures I created in Mari as freelance for an FX showreel piece by Maximus Glegg. This buggy was created by a team of talented students whom I had the pleasure of working with. The textures were inspired by rustic, worn down dune buggies.Check out the full video on Maximus Glegg's LinkedIn:

XBOX CONTROLLER

As a personal project I modelled and textured my old Xbox controller. This was my first attempt at modelling over a LiDAR scan for accurate proportions. This asset was modelled in Maya, textured in Mari and rendered in Houdini.

CYBERMAN

Electric Theatre Collective tasked us with creating a digital double of any toy, for which I chose a cyberman figurine. This was one of my most challenging assets in terms of modelling, texturing and accuracy. I used a number of poly modelling techniques to replicate this complex model, all of which paid off.
