About Richard

Hi, I’m Richard — a 3D artist with a strong passion for bringing ideas to life through digital modeling and animation. I work primarily with Blender, and I enjoy creating everything from stylized characters and environments to realistic props and animated sequences. My journey into 3D art began with a curiosity about how the worlds in games and films are made, and that curiosity quickly grew into a skill set I’ve been developing ever since. I love the process of building things from scratch — shaping a simple cube into something expressive, detailed, and full of personality. Over time, I’ve gained experience in modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation. I also enjoy teaching what I’ve learned, helping others get comfortable with Blender and understand the fundamentals of 3D design. I believe in staying up to date with new tools and techniques, and I’m always looking for ways to improve my craft and push my creativity further. Whether I’m working on a game asset, a short animation, or a personal project, I always aim to tell a story through my work — even if it’s just a few seconds long.

Perfect! I had the pleasure of working with Richard from Superproof, and I can confidently say he exceeded my expectations. He was an excellent tutor who not only helped me accomplish exactly what I needed, but also went above and beyond to ensure I fully understood the process.

Richard was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure I was satisfied with the final result. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly stood out.

I would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality support and expertise.

Perfect! Richard is a fantastic tutor. Seriously! I told him exactly what I needed to learn in our lesson, and we solved multiple obstacles at once in only one hour. That was possible because he was clear, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. If you want someone who is trying to help you earnestly with talent, definitely go to Richard. It is one thing to know how to 3D model. And it's an entirely different thing to know how to teach it. He does both at a high level!

I’d struggled with mixing my songs for years, but Richard broke it down in a way that finally made sense. He showed me how to get a clean mix and helped me shape my sound without losing my style. His knowledge of Cubase and FL Studio is on point

Richard's classes completely changed the way I see music production. I came in with zero experience, and within a few weeks, I was confidently making beats and recording vocals. He's patient, super clear, and always encourages creativity.
