Welcome to my portfolio site. A little about myself, I'm a freelance graphic designer and 3d Artist looking for an entry level position at a studio who will value me as an asset. I also have a vtuber youtube channel in case you're interested.

I'm also knowledgeable in multiple software's like Maya, After Effects, Nuke (Basic Knowledge), Unity3d, Photoshop, Zbrush, and 3ds Max (Basic Knowledge). I'm also knowledgeable with a few renders like Vray and Mental Ray.
I can be contacted at richardj9000@yahoo.com or richardjohn3d@gmail.com
Now, that we got the introductions out of the way, on to the 3d stuff.
This is a Super Mario Turntable I did awhile back, but I included some wireframe love. I'm not happy with the eyes and eyebrows, so i'll post an updated version later
Computer Animation Course Projects
Fantasy Scene
I'm a huge fan of the video game deponia, so I decided to take the challenge of modeling one of the scenes. It's not 100% accurate to the reference but it's close enough. I just have to texture and relight this scene.
A cel shaded test I did while I was in school. Did it for a psa.
This scene was part of an online course instead of being a college assignment but I decided to include it here since it turned out so good. Interior was rendered with Vray
2D Concept robots done by dereklaufman from deviantart
Just a random 3d prop I modeled. Inspired by DerekLaufman's concept trailer.
This is just an old project I'm reviving. I decided I wasn't going to leave this Zbrush sculpt unfinished. I'm looking at some anatomy references so it might take some time until this WIP is completed.
My Life After College
This was just the exterior and interior shot I did for Catalyst Design Group Inc. This experience was a real learning lesson. Main reason I usually like to get paid first before doing any 3d work or at least meet halfway. Anyway, everything was modeled by me (excluding some of the furniture in the interior).
This was a minion themed room I did after I graduated Ai (Inspired by the Minions movie)
This was meant to be an experimental project (vtuber) I wanted to embark on with some friends, but the project never worked out. I'll try to finish and texture this character at some point in the future.
Here's a GPM Filter Separator I had to model for an entrance test at a gaming company. It was my first time doing a game ready model for Unity and I had so much fun working on it. I included a few renders as well.
Everywhere I go I keep hearing the term, "Pokemon Go", so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and model Mewtwo. Then I figured doing a mega evolution is better since everyone models mewtwo. Also, I just noticed cgsociety displayed my model on the WIP/Critique: 3D page. Pretty cool!
I modeled the grass blades, but that wasn't enough for this scene, so I needed some Megascan assets to spice things up a bit.
You can see my current progress on cgsociety.org. Here's the link.

This started out as a freelance job that didn't work out, but it became a piece for my portfolio. Textures coming soon
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy trying to learn 3ds max, as well as some other stuff. Anyway, I finished UV Unwrapping the character and his accessories. I've been a bit busy with my part time job, so I missed the Halloween deadline of completing this guy, but I'll try to finish him when I have time
I haven't done anything 3d related in 2 weeks, but here's my progress with the hat. Textured in Substance Painter. I'm slowly trying to get better using it. Thank goodness for youtube tutorials
