Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m AJ and here are some recent material studies I did. ✨

Check out what my team and I put together for @beyondextent.bsky.social's most recent team challenge! Finally had the time to throw together a little breakdown for Artstation, and be sure to check out my team's work as well! artstation.com/artwork/rl5n9O

Working on a blockout for a new portfolio piece! I'm really excited for this one! Based on the concept art of Duowei Feng

That's a wrap! Here's a compilation of material studies I did for #Mayterials2025. I spent 2-4 hours after work to make most of these. Had a great time making these and learned a lot! More renders on my artstation. www.artstation.com/artwork/AZW44z @theclubdiscord.bsky.social #Mayterials
