About

I’m a 3D Generalist / Character Artist from Spain, focused on creating high-quality stylized and hard-surface assets for games and real-time environments. My work spans the full character pipeline—sculpting in ZBrush, retopology, UV layout, baking, and texturing—along with implementation skills in Unity and Unreal Engine.

I’ve contributed as a freelancer and full-time artist to different teams, closely collaborating with concept and technical artists, integrating feedback, and delivering assets like characters, weapons, modular clothing, and environment props. I’m also passionate about using modern tools (Blender, Substance 3D Painter, Marvelous Designer) and improving workflows through optimization and production-ready assets for game development.
