Five Nights at Freddy's | Special delivery AR Game

I worked on over 50 characters for the Five Nights at Freddy’s horror game, leading the project from the ground up. I managed external artists and oversaw the entire art pipeline, including character, environment, and prop modeling, as well as in-game assets and V-Ray marketing renders. I also improved shader quality and implemented automated wear-and-tear and damage effects.

Personal Projects

Here are selected examples of character models I created for my own projects

Skylanders

Have you ever been curious who created those funky Skylanders that kids all over the world loved? That was me, along with my friends at Toys for Bob.

I worked on 3D modeling for Skylanders, including 36 Characters and NPCs, and contributed across the full pipeline, from toy figure manufacturing to in-game model handoff. It was a wild project, and we absolutely nailed it. The franchise went on to generate around $12 billion in revenue.

Here is a fun fact that I have heard during development: if you stacked all the Skylanders figures on top of each other, they could reach the moon.

A Jevtac character I originally 3D modeled for the Skylanders game was transformed into a massive sculpture showcased at the E3 gaming convention
