This is my most recent personal project. Make sure the sound is on. Enjoy!
I have been working as a professional artist for over 5 years, specializing in 3D modeling and character design. My work includes projects for Universal Studios, Artisan Industry, Castle Gywnn, Thom Boessel, Bao Spot, and others! I've made anything from a giant bull head to an alien cyborg to podcast ads and intros. My attention to detail is exceptional and has given me the opportunity to partner with great companies all across the US from New York City to Frisco, TX!
This job is currently in the works, so I can only show the concept art at this point. Hopefully I will be able to show pictures of the completed model once it is constructed and installed in Orlando, FL.
Mike Freeman, the owner of this castle, has been building this dream home for 40 years! Recently, he reached out to me to help design two different floors, including the Ballroom and Mezzanine, complete with a massive fireplace and loads of armor, including an armored horse he carved himself! He's also one of the founders of the Renaissance Festival in the Nashville area!
I worked with this client for over a year and have made all sorts of amazing projects ranging from a larger-than-life T-rex skeleton to a pirate ship, supersized games, and more. Most recently, I have helped create a giant belt buckle and bull head for PBR Nashville.
From a dragon to a centaur and a mermaid, young readers explore a world of legend and lore in this engaging and interactive story. It's a delightful book that sparks early language development and captures the imagination of children.
The name ROTARA is something very dear to me. An acronym for my family, it starts with my name Richard, followed by the initials of my wife Olivia and our four kids: Tannin, Alana, Roston, and Anna. Art has always been a part of my life and now, as a father, I have the privilege to pass it on to the rest of my family!
The logo, likewise, is very personal. I began living in a Skoolie with my family in February of 2022. ROTARA has expanded dramatically over this past year and am looking at even more growth in the new year! Exciting times!
