20 years of experience in cartoon and caricature creation gives me the skills to meet client's needs. I work in 2 steps: first, a sketch; second - after client approval - digital painting of the sketch. I also have experience in creating large scale projects, with more than 400 caricatures like the one I've made for the FIFA soccer World Cup 2010 for Portuguese sports newspaper "A Bola". Please check my portfolio or ask me for more samples.ย

Hello! Iโ€™m Lily Lin Lao, a skilled 3D digital artist with over 12 years of experience creating print-ready models for product design, sculptural work, and prototyping. I specialize in crafting detailed, production-optimized 3D assets that bring creative vision to life while meeting real-world manufacturing requirements. My core focus is producing 3D printable designs for a wide range of applications, including: โ€ข Jewelry design โ€ข Toy prototypes and collectibles โ€ข Sculptural and fine art pieces โ€ข Functional product models โ€ข Custom miniatures and low-poly game assets for print Every model is carefully constructed to match material specifications, wall thickness guidelines, and printer limitations, whether you're working with SLA, FDM, SLS, or resin-based technologies. 3D Printing Expertise: โ€ข Clean, watertight geometry for error-free printing โ€ข Design for manufacturability: optimized for material efficiency, detail retention, and support strategy โ€ข Deliverables in STL, OBJ, and other standard formats โ€ข Custom sculpting for one-off pieces, small batch production, or mold-ready designs โ€ข A collaborative, iterative approach to refine and realize your concept Beyond 3D printing, I also support architectural visualization and game asset development, offering full-service 3D modeling for both digital presentation and physical production. I work in ZBrush, 3ds Max, Maya, Substance, and Unreal Engine, ensuring a seamless, efficient pipeline from concept to completion. My extensive experience across the 3D pipelineโ€”including modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, and post-processingโ€”means your project will be both technically sound and visually compelling.

Letโ€™s build your next product, sculpture, or conceptโ€”sculpted with care and ready to print.
