The Rustbound Queen: Character Design Sheet
A full reference sheet for a dark-fantasy warrior built from corroded metal plates and thorns. It includes a four-view turnaround, close-up details, pose studies, scale reference, and a complete weapon breakdown.
The design starts from the silhouette: the crown and oversized axe keep the character recognizable even in near-darkness. The biggest challenge was keeping every detail consistent across all views while stopping the heavy rust texture from turning into noise.
Role: Character concept, design, and visual development.
Open to collaborations in character design and cinematic projects.

Darkroom, a Video.js v10 skin that develops your video like 35 mm film.
Darkroom turns the Video.js v10 player into a roll of 35 mm film. The scrubber is the strip itself: four perforations to a frame, chapters spliced on frame lines, and every frame you have watched develops into an orange negative printed from the video's own storyboard. Hover a frame and it flips to a positive, with a contact print above it naming the frame and time. The readout is a darkroom timer instead of a timestamp: a camera counter that starts at S, ticks through 36 exposures and ends at 36 END, where a Roll complete card rewinds the strip in steps.
Safelight red is kept for focus rings, the exposure lamp and active states. Everything else is paper on a grain textured panel that holds 11:1 contrast over white footage, so the controls stay readable over any video. The icons are a custom family drawn for the concept: a viewfinder for fullscreen, an aperture for settings, a rewind crank for restart.
It is fully keyboard operable with visible focus everywhere, 44 px touch targets, reduced motion support, forced colors support, and a responsive layout tested from 240 px to fullscreen in Chrome, Safari and Firefox. The showcase page lets you switch between dark and bright footage and between 16:9 and 9:16.
That film-strip scrubber is clever.
