About
I’m Maria del Pilar Mendez Villafánpili, a 3D artist specialized in sculpting, modeling, and rigging for organic characters and stylized creatures. With a background that spans ZBrush, Autodesk Maya, and Substance 3D tools, I help turn concepts into production-ready assets—covering topology, retopology, UVs, texturing, and skinning so characters can animate naturally.
