What inspired you to pursue a career in 3D art? My journey into 3D art was a natural progression from my strong foundation in traditional art forms such as drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital painting. As a child, I was captivated by movies like "Aliens," "Predator," and "Blade Runner," which featured groundbreaking visual and practical effects production processes that left a lasting impression on me. Anime classics like "Akira" and "Ghost in the Shell" further fueled my fascination with intricate and imaginative visual storytelling. In addition to films and anime, video games such as "Warcraft" and "Mortal Kombat" played a significant role in shaping my creative aspirations. The rich, immersive worlds and detailed character designs in these games inspired me to delve deeper into the possibilities of 3D art. Comics like "Spawn" and "X-Men," with their vivid illustrations and compelling narratives, also contributed to my artistic development. Moreover, the revolutionary visual effects in movies like "Lord of the Rings" "Star Wars" and “the Matrix” showcased the potential of 3D art in creating fantastical and believable worlds, further igniting my passion for the medium. These films demonstrated how 3D art could bring to life epic stories and characters, pushing the boundaries of imagination and technology. I have also been profoundly influenced by the works of artists like H.R. Giger, known for his surreal and biomechanical designs, and Frank Frazetta, whose dynamic and powerful illustrations have left an indelible mark on the world of fantasy art. These diverse influences have all converged to inspire and drive my passion for 3D art, allowing me to create and explore new dimensions of creativity.
