About Me
I’m Colton.
I'm a 3D artist and designer specializing in cinematic illustration, style frames, and short-form animation. Creators come to me for bold visuals that are clear, creative, and delivered on time. I’ve got a soft spot for seamless morphs, character loops, and anything that moves with style. If you’ve got an idea, I can make it happen.

I had the pleasure of working with Colton at Project Tempus, where he quickly became an invaluable team member. He produced outstanding comic art and contributed 3D modeling, character animation, set design, storyboarding, layouts, covers, and marketing materials. As Lead Artist, he managed schedules, trained new artists, and refined our production process, ensuring high-quality results. Colton is a creative problem-solver with a passion for storytelling, design, 3D animation, and mascots. His leadership, skill, and dedication helped the team release multiple books that look fantastic and tell compelling stories. Any team would be lucky to have him for comic, animation, or promotional projects.
