RESUME
who i am...

A creative and efficient artist with an eye for detail.

Welcome to my page! I'm Declan O'Dempsey, but feel free to call me Dex. I'm a 3D artist with a solid understanding of CGI, animation, and the game development workflow. While I'm a junior in the industry, I bring extensive experience from working at a professional game studio and years of freelance work. I'm dedicated, easy-going, and thrive in a studio environment. I’m here to do my best work while enjoying the creative atmosphere that a studio fosters. This is my dream career, and I'd love to show you just how valuable I can be to your team.

Modelling, Animation, Composition, Graphics... Creativity of a Professional.

FIrst Skill - 3D Modelling

Detailed and captivating, Hard-surface and Organic.

What I have deemed to be my greatest strength; Modelling and Texturing, a passion as well. I have spent a total of 6 years now with a small amount of experience in High School as well. My time studying was spent learning how to navigate professional grade programs like Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush.
Second SKiLL - Animation

Fluent or Stylised, bringing characters and environments to life.

Mastering Animation is something I am driven to achieve. It's application to my work has also given me a subconscious goal to master the art of transformations and blending: One model into another. Animating props and environments are something I have also found a passion for, but have yet to implement into my work.
Third Skill - Compositing

Combining the product of creativity and captures of reality.

The most important aspect of my work going forward. As someone who wants to join the film industry, I have a strong desire to master composition, in order to implement my own creations into the real world. Whether that be characters, environments, or effects.
Fourth Skill - Graphics

Sketching... Branding... Decals... Concept Art... You name it. I can do it.

I am from Toowoomba a large and yet still community rich city. Here I have taken many graphic design jobs to help brand local businesses, and organisations, such as; DD Rugby Refereeing Association, Quiet and Coffee Cafe, and local films chasing a logo. This is a skill I will always hold dear to me, as it scratches the creative itch with ease.

Explore my projects: 3D art and original projects with Concepts and Designs i have created for my own interests.

The Batmobile

A personal take, on a personal interest. Inspired by previous designs.

I have always loved characters by DC Comics, notably... The Batman. And during my time at university, I was given the task of creating a 'game asset'. Which inspired me to create a "mark 1" of my own Batmobile. Finding time later to develop a "mark 2", I took the opportunity to test my improvement...

The Hellatog Beast.

A design for a dinosaur-esq monster. Inspired by a 60s cartoon character.

As a kid, my father loved a 1960s cartoon show called Mightor, A show about a superhero caveman with a pet dinosaur named Tog. Wanting to create something inspired by a 60s character. I developed this creature that I started calling The Hellatog Beast.

jACk The ManBot

The metal man with a beating heart and sentenient mind.

"jACK the Manbot" as he is called is an original character I have created as an homage to the Atompunk aesthetic. He was intended for a short film during university, where he would be 3D printed and used as a life-sized puppet. An effect that was popularised in 1930s sci-fi films.

CYBERPUNK HIDEOUT

The hideout for a bounty hunter in 2081 Melbourne.

My first attempt at creating a detailed and intricate environment. One of my favourite games of all time is Cyberpunk: 2077, so as an homage to its "80s Synth" aesthetic, I developed a hideout with the city of Melbourne as a luminous back drop.
