Hello, I am Shane!

Whatever Brought You Here, You're in the Right Place.

🤝 Maybe this is a hobby and you just want to make things you're proud of. Maybe you want to print your own collectibles, sell STLs, or do freelance work. Or maybe you're serious about breaking in, and you know your work needs that level of professional polish that gets you noticed and gets you hired.

Whatever the goal, this is your corner of the internet. Stylized sculptors of all skill levels, all working to get better. 💪🏼

Teaching Turned Out to Be More Rewarding Than Sculpting.

Eight years in, over 2,500 students, and I love it more every year. I've developed a system that works whether you're a complete beginner or a working artist ready to level up. Several students now work at Funko, Blizzard, Disney, and McFarlane Toys. Several more run their own STL businesses. No expensive art school. Just a working industry professional who's figured out how to actually teach this stuff.

Five Courses. Everything You Need. One Price.

Over the past 8 years, I've built a collection of courses called the 3D Character Workshop. Five complete courses that take you from the basics all the way through the full pipeline. Whether that's a game-ready character or a finished 3D printed collectible.

Most of the courses are taught in ZBrush, but students have successfully followed along in Blender and Nomad Sculpt. You don't need the latest version of anything; the concepts are what matter.

You get lifetime access to all of it.

A Community That Actually Feels Like One.

One of the things I'm most proud of about the 3D Character Workshop isn't the courses, it's the community that's built up around them. Over 2,500 students means a lot of people at different stages, working on different things, all interested in the same corner of the art world.

It's a safe place to share your work, get feedback from people who understand what you're going for, ask technical questions and get real answers fast, and just talk about what's happening in the industry.

I've tried a lot of platforms over the years, trying to get this right. We've finally landed somewhere that puts the community and the courses in the same place, with a solid mobile app so you can stay connected and keep learning wherever you are.

You Don't Have to Do This All at Once.

"I'm too busy" is sometimes the thing we tell ourselves when we've been hesitant to back ourselves. Maybe you've spent hours on scattered YouTube tutorials and still feel stuck. You don't need more of that. You need structured instruction and a community that keeps you moving.

That's why everything here is lifetime access. Come back whenever. The material keeps growing and you never pay more. It feels more like a club than a course at this point.

Try It Risk-Free for 14 Days.

Get in, explore the courses, dig into the community. If, within 14 days, you decide it's not the right fit, just send me a message, and I'll refund you in full. No hoops, no hard feelings. I want you in here because it's genuinely right for you - not because you felt stuck.

Ready for What's Next? Ask About the Mentorship.

The course gives most students everything they need. But if you've essentially graduated and you're serious about making this a career, the mentorship goes further. Real feedback on your work. How to price yourself. How to handle clients and deadlines. The unglamorous parts nobody covers in tutorials.

I didn't get where I am without going through it. The mentorship is how I help you get there faster.

You Already Know You Can Do This.

If you've made it this far, something here resonated. Maybe it's the characters. Maybe it's the community. Maybe it's the feeling that your work is almost there, but you just need the right instruction to close the gap.

That's what this is. Not a shortcut. Not a magic button. Just the real skills, taught by someone who's been doing this professionally for 25 years and loves helping people get there.
