The beginning of my journey
The beginning of my journey
Project | 1 - 2023
The beginning of 2022 started filling me up with all the motivation I needed to start learning and practicing. During all the time learning I worked on my first model, a endless runner model copied from Subway Surfer.
The website page was made in a few days with hard work and tutorials and help from templates.

At the same time with this website I started to work on my model pictures that will be provided bellow. The project started with me wanting to copy the idea but wanted to add my own and not add trains but different vehicle.
After long time researching and thinking of a name and of an idea for the video game I came with the name "Tricky Trucks Surfers", a name that could be worked on more but it was only the beginning of my career. The video game idea came from two video games, Subway Surfer and Euro Truck Simulator.
After few days of working into the models with tutorials and help from YouTube, I came up with this design and began to think if it will actually work. The trucks were some models I found on the internet for free because I was a beginner, I couldn't make one myself. The black walls on the sides make me think of the video game actually catching peoples eyes into playing my game, so I thought of changing it.
After another few days in researching how to add sun and textures and free models into the project, I came to the point where I started to like the project even if the project needed a lot more work than what I put into it at the time. The trucks still needed colors but I didn't know how to do it even the tutorials were too hard for me at that time to add or make textures myself.
Unfortunately the project was stopped here due to time management because I only had one week period to finish it so this was an acceptable start for me.
Project | 2 - 2024
With the start of the first term in the college I started to work on a new project part of the term. The theme of the project was "GODS". This theme was very interesting to me because all the ideas just rushed in my head because I didn't know how to control them and I was just rushing things to finish faster. Because I hurried too much working on this project, I encountered texture and rendering problems that stopped my project from moving forward.
After days even weeks of research I decided to focus on Greek Gods because there was a lot of mobility and research for me to give me enough ideas of what to create. After all the research again I game with an idea to create two Ancient Greek Gods that are fighting, again the model was static because I didn't have enough time to animate it. and this is how everything started.
I will put all the pictures with the evolution of the project bellow.
At this point in my project the tutorials helped me achieve a higher level into sunlight, shadows and textures, but because I was still rushing I encountered problems.
After repairing the texture the project started to look so much better but I didn't stop here, I started to add models and objects into my scene.
Character design
Project | 3 - 2024
Starting my last College term for my first year I started to know and learn a lot more about 3D models and editing so I began making better work .
The project theme was "Neon" which for some people could be hard but for me it wasn't. My thoughts went straight to Japan, a beautiful neon country in the bigger cities with any type of neon light that makes it special and beautiful, so I gave myself a few days and I started to create the model.
At this point in my project I started to add models and buildings and few lights to give that abstracts and futuristic look, I wanted to make this project look like something unseen coming from the future so I added more details.
And this was my College evolution during 9 months of hard work and dedication. This 3 projects were the beginning of my work and all the skills I achieved this those 9 months were incredible.
Project | 4 - 2024
This project was started during the end of last year and eventually done during summer with some more effects in, final renders and models added in the image. The Image describes a Ancient Greek Temple situated on top the biggest mountain in the world where all the power over the world is and all through that statue. If you look closer you can see more mountains inside the stature mountains that describe power, and a higher level of knowledge and devine power.
Project | 5 - 2024
The idea of this project came into my head after seeing a Tiktok, in a rich house with a very expensive sports car attached to the ceiling. The I started by making my own sketched of the projects where I have bellow some of the images of how the project looked before this final stage. It took me approx 1 month of sketching and putting the time to make the lighting. The car were a big problem so I asked for feedback from my friends and family and I ended up with this final piece that honestly I was very happy with.
Project | 5 - 2024
This project is one of my favorite just because of the way it gives that peaceful look. The idea came from one of my friends from University and I decided to make that idea but add more details to it and improve on my skills with lighting and other editing and modelling skills. I am very happy with the end result and it didn't take me too much time because I had everything planned already so I didn't spend too much time moving stuff around my image.
Project | 6 - 2024
This project took me around two weeks to make having difficulties with rendering and getting the lighting the right way.
I love the idea this image gives and I called this short animation "Military Forest Chase". The design of the landscape is made by me, the grass is created by me, Characters are taken from Mixamo with animations to save me some time. The weapons I had to animate manually to each character with different animation. This taking me around 2 days to do. After rendering, I focused on sounds and adding some background sounds like people walking, night time insects and other sounds combined.
I'm proud of this project. Here I can say I tried to add all the knowledge I accumulated this few years of work.
New Things
This summer I started playing Football again. I started training and I am going to some activities organised by MFC ( Middlesbrough Football Club ). I go out and train in my free time and then show what I am practicing when I play for MFC.
Over the summer I focused on my business as well, trying to sort it out in a better way and look for more partnerships, and at this moment I am looking forward to a partnership with a shop in Darlington and a person that works for a big company in the UK.
Achievements and Goals
I want to include last two headers both into one just because I am talking about the same thing in both.
My goals this summer regard my future and business were:
- To get my first partnership over the summer. Goals that I completed with the start of summer with a restaurant in Darlington called "Rendezvous Cafe" situated close to Darlington Town Center.
- Finishing a project (3D Model) but focus the whole time on this one so it comes out well. Project that I completed after 1 month of work and dedication
- Start and focus on my health and focus on sports and training and eating as healthy as possible.

Project | 7 - 2025
As my last year of college project this one was the one where I had to put all my knowledge together and come up with a great design. Everything started nicely until I had to move out. Moving to a different country can be very difficult and took most of my from creating this project. After 1 month of not being able to work on the project and with a few weeks left to work for it, I started to create some random things and everything started to come up together but them problems started to appear. Not having the right PC components my computer could not render bigger projects especially animations that I had in plan to render. Unfortunately this was my final render and this was what I was able to complete and create as my last college project. This taught me a life lesson to always be ready for anything that may come in your way while you are trying to get something done.
To add more things do this project I made a little logo from my new business Xelo Agency and added a 3D logo in and it came out pretty good but still needs some more editing.
