the philotoasty

Hello there!

I’m Thomas, a Senior 3D Artist specialized in animation and stylized art.

I love to work with people who share my interest and my passion for minimalist design.

I believe that stylized art direction and hand-polished animation can create striking worlds.

My rigourous, yet creative approach to 3D imagemaking is sustained by an unrelenting drive to create quality work.

Let's forge inspiring worlds together!

about me

My journey began in 2010 as a self-taught motion graphic designer, but my passion eventually led me into the captivating realm of 3D art!

With over a decade of hands-on experience in the 3D industry, I've crafted a unique blend of skills merging minimalist concepts with the intricacies of digital sculpting and animation.

In 2019, I took the leap to establish my own business, delving deeper into stylized design and video game art, following my involvement in PBR marketing projects.

Currently, I thrive as a Senior 3D Artist at Happy Volcano, an esteemed game development studio, following a rewarding two-year stint as Art Director for You Suck at Parking.
