About Me
你好! I am OurDearLadyMaria; I specialize in low poly 3D modeling, designing assets, and level design. I have been supplying well known developers with assets since 2016. I have worked with two Roblox Spring interns in the past and am currently working on a Roblox GCI (Global Content Initiative) project. I started out as a builder on the platform utilizing Roblox Studio’s CSG function before learning how to use Autodesk Maya due to the limitations of Studio’s CSG.
Previous Work
The Conquerors 3 Skins (2016-7)
My first posting was working as a skin builder for BrokenBone’s “The Conquerors 3” (TC3) during his spring internship at Roblox. I am credited with creating numerous skins which catered to the history enthusiasts who played the game. I utilised my extensive background of world history to decide on what skins to make for the soldiers and buildings. By identifying our target audience and creating skins which appealed to their interests, my skins were able to outsell the skins made by other developers and became some of TC3’s most sold skins.
Given that these were made back in 2016, they are not the best reflection of my current capabilities as a modeler and asset designer. As seen here on their official wikia, I am credited with creating a number of skins. Further credit is given in the gamepass descriptions linked in the list.
List of skins I made

Work With Ben_Est (2018)
My next stint was with providing assets for Ben_Est during his spring internship at Roblox for his project “Time Clash” the following year after finishing work on TC3. The assets created for this game were based off of weapons from different eras across ancient history.
Prehistoric Themed tools
Roman Weapons
The Northern Frontier (2018)
During my time as a contracted developer, I supplied a few assets for the game and offered insight into the time period from which the game takes place.
Development was cut short after the game started to face rampant attacks from exploiters which made the permadeath mechanic of the game unplayable. I was later assigned to their new project “Northwind” which serves as the successor to TNF.

Tower Defenders (2019)
After the events of TNF, I worked with Lysander on his unique spin off of the tower defense genre. I saw great potential in his game as it featured the unique addition of movable towers unlike the traditional static defense seen in the numerous bloons tower defense knockoffs on the site. Both Lysander and I showed a common interest in the Warhammer Fantasy franchise which greatly inspired how we designed the game.
Our hard work paid off as the game quickly rose up to the front page of the “Top rated” category
During my time with Lysander, I explained to him the importance of optimization along with the importance of utilizing low poly mesh assets over assets made with roblox’s inefficient unions. This led to the great “lag fix overhaul” which was greatly received by the community. I drafted up multiple elven themed units with one of them eventually becoming the ingame “Grove Warden” tower after multiple revisions. In addition to these elves, I also modeled the Berserker and its barrack building. The third and final unit which I made is the unused Lancer.
Lysander and I put our big brains together for this
Simulator Related Pets (2018-9?)
For a short period within my career as a developer, I made multiple pets for Roblox Stars program member “IntelPlayz”.
Scuba Diving at Quill Lake Egg Hunt Event (2020)
After being hired by Colonel Graff to work on Westbound, I deployed my personal team, the “Sweetie Squad” to assist him in developing both the overhaul for Westbound and overhaul for Quill Lake.
I assisted Colonel Graff with creating the egg hunt event for Quill Lake by providing new assets for the ingame fish and new furniture for the remodeling of the pre-existing ingame buildings.
Our remaster of Quill Lake and Easter mini quest was greatly received by the playerbase. To my knowledge, Quill Lake was one of the few if not the only event game that did not suffer a negative blow to their ratings as a result of hosting the egg hunt (We maintained our 92% approval rating).
Current Work
Northwind (No longer active)
I am currently one of the modelers tasked with creating assets for Northwind. We are currently focusing on creating more craftable items such as consumables, weapons, and wearable hats.

UGC Concept Artist with WhoToTrus
I have been supplying my friend WhoToTrus with concepts for hats which have proven to be quite commercially successful on the market. All of my concepts center around creating easy to make hats which are able to appeal to the audience on roblox, hence why most of these items are “anime themed” or “cute and uwu”.
I got Trus to mainly make face items given that they are able to be paired with most if not all outfits on roblox. Considering the fact that most limited roblox faces are ludicrously expensive, I wanted to give players something to decorate their face space with. By minimizing work needed, pricing assets at a low and affordable price, and capitalising on some of the largest demographics roblox by appealing to their interests; we were able to continuously churn out commercially successful products which were well received by the community.
List
Eastern Elf Ears: 26k Favorites
White Kawaii Face Mask: 33k Favorites
Black Kawaii Face Mask 30k Favorites
Black Neck Gaiter 4.8k Favorites
Blade of Grass 2.5k Favourites
My UGC Concepts
The data gathered from the sales figures of the suggested items to Trus showed that my ideas were able to sell well on the roblox market. This led me to start producing my own hats in my spare time. In order to split the workload, I got my friend, lead modeler/texture artist of the Sweetie Squad, bil_iam to help texture these hats.

Translation Capability
I spent most of my life growing up in North America which is far away from my native homeland of China. Growing up overseas in a household speaking mandarin has allowed me to become bilingual. In addition to being able to speak Chinese Mandarin fluently, I am also able to translate text from english to both traditional and simplified mandarin.
I recently utilized my knowledge of the chinese traditions and language to help “WhoToTrus” create his Chinese New Year lineup of UGC items this year (2020). These items include the Red Envelope, Da Dao, Hook Swords, and the Jade Hair Sticks.
On top of giving Trus a crash course in Chinese traditions regarding the Lunar New Year, I also provided the translation for the text on the Red Envelope accessory.
With Roblox’s recent expansion into China, I wanted both the pre-existing Chinese community members and the future ones to feel welcomed on the platform by letting them see that their customs and traditions were being represented in some form.
Availability
My schedule fluctuates depending on the demands of my courses at school.
Currently, I have a lot more spare time given that my courses have moved to become online for the summer semesters and foreseeable winter semester. When I’m not studying or tutoring my friends, I spend my spare time 3D modeling as a means of catharsis from the humdrum of student life.
The key to my success has been centered around properly managing my time.
I was able to find time to work on the GCI project and the Roblox Egg Hunt event for Quill Lake while continuing my studies.
Payment
I mainly take Robux which I am currently hoarding to dev-ex later to help pay my student fees.
