About Me

My name is Eric Di Lodovico, and Iโ€™m currently studying Game Design, 3D Animation and Modelling at London Metropolitan University.

This website is my personal portfolio a curated space where I showcase the creative and technical projects Iโ€™ve developed throughout my academic journey.

My work blends traditional and digital influences, with a particular focus on dark aesthetics, storytelling, and stylised 3D characters.

I am passionate about the artistic side of game design, from sculpting and animation to level building and character creation.

I enjoy exploring emotional depth through motion and atmosphere, often inspired by creators like Hideo Kojima, Tim Burton, and Marilyn Manson.

Whether working in Maya, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, or designing in Photoshop, I aim to craft immersive visual experiences that reflect my unique creative identity.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I hope you enjoy discovering the work that defines who I am as an artist and developer.
