Between October 2020 and May 2021 I participated in Creative Manitoba’s Individual Mentorship program with Jonathan Dyck as my mentor. I focused on comic creation, visual storytelling and illustration. My end of mentorship project was a short 32 page comic called “Stardog” that was completed and sold to readers all over the world!
I then adapted Stardog into a short 3D animation!
I created all aspects except for the music, which was composed by my brother.
I used Maya, Substance Painter, Blender and Clip Studio Pro (for the 2D elements) and it was all rendered with Arnold.
It was a fun challenge to translate my 2D ink style to 3D, especially with modelling and texturing the assets. I also had tons of fun creating another project through the whole pipeline, including rigging and compositing.
