For the New Mexico Museum of Art’s upcoming Gustave Baumann exhibit, I spearheaded the storyboards and animatics that shaped the visual narrative of the interactive experience. Drawing inspiration from Baumann’s original dragon puppet, I modeled and textured a fully 3D version of the character, ensuring its design stayed true to the artist’s whimsical style. I also created a suite of background assets—including hand-sculpted rocks, yucca plants, prickly pear cactus, and a hand-drawn illustration of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains—capturing the distinctive beauty of New Mexico’s landscapes. These elements came together to create a richly textured, immersive environment that honors Baumann’s artistry while engaging visitors in a fresh, dynamic way.
