Bride's Descent

“Bride’s Descent” is a dramatic digital painting crafted in Adobe Photoshop, depicting a fearless bride storming into the depths of Hell. With a massive sword in hand, she charges forward, her flowing gown a stark contrast to the infernal chaos around her. In the distance, an enormous demonic spider looms menacingly over her unconscious groom, its many eyes glinting with malice. The cavernous landscape is fractured and crumbling, fire bursting through the cracks, casting an eerie, flickering glow upon the scene. Embers dance through the air, illuminating the bride’s unyielding determination as she faces the monstrous horror before her. This piece embodies themes of love, fury, and unwavering courage in the face of the abyss.

Curse Maidens

“The Curse Maidens” is a character exploration piece depicting the hierarchy and daily rituals of an enigmatic all-female cult in a fantasy setting. Arranged in sequence, five busts showcase the progression of rank within the order, each level marked by increasingly elaborate head coverings—white cloth wrappings evolving into towering, horned hats and golden crowns adorned with ominous cloudy stones. Below, full-body illustrations capture the Maidens in their daily tasks, their movements serene yet shrouded in mystery. Dressed in simple white and green linen, their clouded eyes hint at an unsettling transformation. Though they appear graceful and peaceful, their concealed purpose lingers in the air, leaving an eerie sense of something unseen beneath their ritualistic adornments.

Deep Space Medic

“Deep Space Medic” is a concept design of an ambulance built for the dangers of space. Combining the sleek front of a motorcycle with the bulk of a medical transport van, this rugged vehicle shows the wear and tear of countless emergency missions. The driver’s cockpit is compact, built for speed and maneuverability, while the rear holds a reinforced medical bay for doctors and patients. The complex, battle-worn metal textures emphasize its role in a futuristic, high-stakes world. Piloting this life-saving machine, the driver wears a uniform blending a space suit with a doctor’s coat—symbolizing the fusion of technology and medicine in the vast unknown.

The Water Bearer

“The Water Bearer” is a character design of a young girl from an eco-punk world where water is scarce and the land has turned to desert. At just eight years old, she carries a large glass container of precious water on her back, her survival dependent on every drop. She wears tattered, sun-bleached linen clothing, layered with a matching shawl for protection. Her bright blue hair, tied into two fluffy ponytails, contrasts sharply with the dusty landscape. Large goggles rest on her brow, ready to shield her eyes from the relentless sand. By her side is a mystical water spirit—a golden-yellow pangolin that glides through the air, a rare companion in this harsh world. Together, they navigate the wasteland, a symbol of resilience and hope.

Yooko, the Living Relic

“Yooko, the Living Relic” is an ancient temple statue brought to life—a mischievous, golden being with oversized square hands and cloven hooves. His large, rectangular mouth reveals sharp canines, while his bright turquoise tongue, nose, and irises contrast against his metallic body. Adorned with thick turquoise jewelry, Yooko’s big head and tiny frame add to his playful, impish nature. Though once a sacred relic, he now roams with a gleeful sense of mischief, blending ancient grandeur with childlike antics.

Daisy-Head Mayzie: Reimagined

“Daisy-Head Mayzie: Reimagined” is a character redesign of the classic Dr. Seuss character, giving her a sporty, energetic twist. Now around ten years old, Mayzie has a wilder, more confident attitude to match her slightly untamed blonde hair. She wears a light blue short-sleeve T-shirt with rolled-up sleeves, bright yellow sports shorts with white accents, and bold red rubber rain boots—adding a touch of playful defiance to her look. This fresh take on Mayzie gives her a spirited edge, ready to take on any adventure, daisy and all.

Pepperonly: Thesis Film

“Pepperonly” is a heartfelt and comedic animated short about Mia, a young Italian woman who dares to break family tradition by adding pineapple to her family’s sacred pizza recipe. As she places the forbidden fruit on the dough, the portrait of her stern Nona erupts with supernatural fury—shaking the restaurant and culminating in Nona’s ghostly possession of the pizza itself!

What follows is a hilarious and emotional battle between old traditions and new ideas, as Nona, now a living, angry pizza, refuses to accept the change. Their struggle escalates until a broken sign reading “Tradition is Family” forces them both to reflect on what truly matters. In a final act of love and reconciliation, Nona makes a surprising choice, leading to a touching ending where tradition and change come together—one pineapple-covered slice at a time.

"Pizza Nonna"

“Pizza Nonna” is a rough character design exploration of a fiery Italian grandmother’s spirit, trapped in the body of a pizza. Possessing a classic cheese pizza, she comes to life with pepperoni eyes, sauce-formed facial features, and crispy crust bubbles shaping her hair. Tiny yet formidable, her arms and legs emerge from the crust as she furiously protests her granddaughter’s attempt to add pineapple to the sacred family recipe. Though comical in form, Pizza Nonna carries the dignity and passion of an old-world matriarch, expressing her emotions with dramatic flair.
