I’m finally trying to learn Blender (another 3D software) in my ‘spare’ time (HAHAHAHAH FUNNY JOKE) and decided to follow along with the renowned BlenderGuru donut tutorial, because why not… Donut looks kinda silly and I could have definitely sculpted a much better donut MUCH quicker in ZBrush, but was good to go through the…

Well, well… its finally out! I spent 5-6 months doing Costume Concept Illustration for this film and as a huge lover of Disney villains, it was an awesome film for me to have the opportunity to be involved in. I worked on the majority of Maleficent’s costumes, plus Aurora’s wedding outfits and many, many dark…
