Let's start at the beginning, how did you become an artist and why? |
 |
I started my affair with art at a very early age (6). It began with oil classes and co-painting with the teacher. I created simple cartoon characters, yeah, I used to love smurfs, TMNT and snoopy. I have a couple hanging in front of me to this day. A few years later, I started drawing harder pieces like marvel heroes, small funny comics and caricatures. When I finally turned 12, I joined a fine art class where I drew classic photorealistic reproductions and worked on a couple of rubish stop motion shorts. Unfortunately, I slowly began to lose my interest for drawing when I discovered computer graphics. I believe photoshop was responsible for this. Taking a fancy to the program, I created anything I could, and then once I hit 15, I then discovered the infamous 3d max R3 and fell in love! I am now addicted to art and the journey of creating something to brand a period in my life. For I use my art as a timeline for my memories. When I see my old artworks, they make me think back to the time when I created it and the thoughts I had while making it.

Was there someone, or some thing that helped make you who you are today? |
 |
There were many people and things that helped create me along the way. It is what makes a personality inside us all; the constant influence of the world around us that we perceive and take part in... too much to put describe here. But, if I was to narrow it down to my art side, I think it was all the movies, cartoons and games that influenced me during my childhood. As to how I developed my computers skills, I think this would have a lot to do with games. They have an incredible power to teach tasks and generate a subconscious interest for certain subjects inside a young mind.

Tell us about the process you undertake to get the results that you do? How do you come up with your ideas? Concepts, yes, no? |
 |
It's weird... I am not the greatest at drawing concept art. I feel limited when I attempt 2d creation and I also tend to get bored easily when drawing. Therefore, my main creative process consists of developing an idea, not an image. Usually, it's a story where the character is the main subject, so the techniques to create constantly change and varies. In Dominance War II, I concepted my ideas directly onto a mesh.
The idea aspects are a bit subjective and complicated to explain. I usually spend quite some time working on my ideas inside my head before I transfer them to my hands. During this project, it was kind of a happy coincidence. I have always been thinking about a lot of new ideas and this event allowed me to experiment and bring one of my ideas to life. Nevertheless, I would still like to do more.
