About Me

Hello! I'm Ethan Steytler, a 3D character artist and animator currently completing the Animation course at the University of Portsmouth.

I enjoy creating 3D characters and bringing animations to life with smooth, expressive movement. I’m passionate about storytelling through animation, and I’m also planning to create short animated films in the near future, inspired by the kind of work Studio Wrong has been producing.

I’d love to create more game animations and tell cyberpunk-inspired stories. Cyberpunk has been a huge interest of mine ever since Cyberpunk 2077 was released. I’m also passionate about building realistic sci-fi worlds and exploring immersive futuristic settings.

Some of the software I’m continuing to develop my skills in includes Autodesk Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Adobe Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Clip Studio Paint.

The name “Pondhouse Studio” comes from a place filled with good memories for me called Pondhouse. Since I also currently live in a house named Pondhouse and work from home, the name felt personal and fitting for the studio as I begin building my creative career.
