About Me
Hi, I’m Ashton, an aspiring animator focused on film and interactive media. With 7+ years of experience in Blender and Maya, I’m now expanding my craft with Unreal Engine, Adobe Suite, and ZBrush. I’ve trained under industry veterans like Alexis Wanneroy (Arcane, How to Train Your Dragon), Kiel Figgins (Spider-Man, Star Wars), and Jim van der Keyl (Kung Fu Panda). My goal is to bring stories to life and eventually launch my own animation studio.

My Rigged Characters
Coming in 2026
Prior to Animation Requests
Please make sure your rigs are ready before I start animating. A rig is a character with control handles for easy posing—having one like my example helps speed up the workflow. This isn’t required but highly recommended for the best results.Rigging services are also available for an extra fee.File Guidelines:
Submit a .blend, .ma, or .mb file (zipped with textures).Include FBX files for any objects.
