Summary

I’m David Blaya, a 3D artist with a deep passion for Creatures and Look Development.

Wildlife and prehistoric life have always been my greatest inspiration. This fascination drives me to understand how the natural world works to better recreate it through my work.

My goal is simple: to bring creatures to life in a way that feels both believable and full of wonder.
