I have a strong focus on appealing characters and clean topologies ready for production.
My name is David Barrero, and I’m a 3d Character Modeler currently based in Vancouver. With background in Film, Design and Illustration, I have more than 10 years experience in Feature Animation and Advertising working in Spain, UK, and Canada. Always keen to push my skills further, I approach my work with high motivation and find the collaborative process in production environments extremely rewarding.
