Summary
I'm Lua, a Spanish 3D Sculptor and Character Designer based in the UK!
I'm specialized in developing consumer products of different kinds; collectible figures for painters, toys, dolls, art toys and tabletop game miniatures among others since 2015.
While studying illustration, natural drawing and 3D, my excitement made me discover a passion for Traditional sculpting which later evolved into digital. I'm currently working as a freelance senior modeller for several brands! I've been working on original designs, concept art and known IPs; like Zombicide, Narcos, DC Batman, Luis Royo Malefic Times...
From sketching, engineering for printing and casting, leading other sculptors, to guiding as a consultant for the art on the project...
I'm also the creator of an independent and ongoing Ball Jointed Doll brand for collectors, with unique personal designs, that started as a humble painter in the hobby in 2009.
