Weapons Artist, passionate for a few years now, I bring my expertise to projects that seek realism and authenticity. It is essential for me to create/reproduce weapons with an important storytelling, which adapt to the project.

For example: A weapon will have a diabolically different storytelling if it is used in a post-apocalyptic universe by someone who does not have the tools/objects and expertise to take care of it, this weapon will be very dirty, rusty, damaged. Whereas, conversely, someone with military training, in the modern world will have a relatively clean/clean weapon, maintained, with areas of use that reflect this expertise with weapons.

It is this kind of vision that I love to bring to different projects, to bring objects to life and to give them a story.

I mainly work in CAD (Fusion 360 / Plasticity) workflow, which is almost essential for me in the world of weapons art today. I personally find that it also allows the artist to dedicate 100% to creativity, without worrying about various technical constraints. Once the base model is made in CAD, I naturally move to poly modeling in Blender to prepare the low poly / game ready and move on to a more traditional workflow.
