Character Origins

I develop characters from my original stories, ideas and observations. Each begins with a distinct personality, emotion or sense of presence.

Silhouette

A strong, recognizable silhouette is central to each design. Posture and proportion establish the character before smaller details are introduced.

Expression

Gesture, movement and subtle physical details communicate emotion without relying on exaggerated expressions.

Digital Development

Digital sculpting helps me explore form, proportion and silhouette before selected characters take physical shape.

Physical Prototypes

Selected designs become physical prototypes, allowing me to evaluate their scale, balance, structure and sculptural presence.

Final Character

Through extensive hand-sculpting and refinement, selected characters develop their final physical identity.
