Winter Shambhala Statue
Sculpted by Yuan Xing Liang
In 2024, I picked up a beautifully complex sculpture kit from an artist celebrated for weaving Chinese cultural motifs into his female portrait work. The piece was meant to represent winter, but I felt inspired to shift the palette toward bright, summery tones instead.

Sculpted by Derek Stenning
Derek Stenning’s work—especially his haunting depictions of Russian cosmonauts in dark, surreal settings—has always inspired me. This model was my first truly complex build, and it pushed my skills in unexpected ways. Its heavy, off‑center design made it tricky to assemble, so I created a granite base to anchor the piece and keep the final artwork stable.
Sculpted by Olivier Villoingt
Olivier Villoingt, known for his artwork inspired by Nordic and Celtic mythology, created this beautiful piece depicting a wise owl comforting a young owl nestled in its feathers. This hand‑painted, single‑piece sculpture was completed in 2022.
According to the Scrolls of the Waxing Moon: "Of the three Guides that wander this world and the Other, Oorune is the gentlest and wisest. She carries within her the breath of change, and it is said that under her large wings, all hopes arise...
Her encounter, extremely rare, is therefore a sign of luck, an omen of something soon to come in those liminal spaces we can only visit in dreams or visions."

This is the second piece I’ve worked on from Olivier Villoingt. It features a weary knight who has finally succumbed to sleep, rendered with a lot of personality and quiet humor. I hand‑painted this one‑piece sculpture in 2024
Darth Vader Samurai
3D Resin Print
I printed this kit depicting Darth Vader in a highly detailed samurai aesthetic. To elevate the presentation, I printed the lightsaber and base in translucent red resin and modified the base by hollowing it out and adding an internal LED for a striking illuminated effect.
