Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015, but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011, and I'm currently working on a platformer called Ultranova and a multiplayer RTS game called Line War.

Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)
