Echoes of the Past - Beyond Extent Team Challenge
I'm excited to share that I had the opportunity to participate in Beyond Extent's team challenge. The objective was to create an environment entirely from scratch as a team within a 5 week period following the theme of "Echoes of the Past". I had the pleasure of working with an amazing team of environment artists who all worked hard to create this environment. I was mainly responsible for creating the hero prop sword, many of the larger architectural assets used in the background, various smaller props, and a couple of the decals used in the scene. This was an amazing opportunity and I was able to improve my workflow in sculpting and learn so much from my teammates!

Shoutout to my team who all pushed for us to be able to create this amazing environment in such a short period of time!
