ARKADY
Russia, the turbulent 1990s. Arkady is an astronomy teacher trying to find his place in a difficult time. At first, he makes a living performing magic tricks at people’s homes and telling fortunes to the gullible. But soon, he takes things to a whole new level: analog television. Now his audience is much larger, and Arkady is ready to spread his own brand of «real» magic across the airwaves.
I developed Arkady from the ground up, from the initial concept and character design to the final cinematic.My responsibilities included concept art, 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, and scene composition. The project allowed me to experience the entire 3D character creation pipeline and bring its individual stages together into a cohesive visual narrative.
I successfully translated the initial concept into 3D while preserving the character’s key design features. Throughout the process, I achieved the project’s main goals: maintaining the character’s recognizable silhouette and personality, refining the model’s details, selecting appropriate materials, and achieving the intended visual result.
In addition to the character, I designed and created several 3D assets for the project, including a magic wand, a plush star, and environmental elements. Each asset was developed to match the project’s overall visual style, fit naturally into the scenes, and complement Arkady’s character.
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
«In the Middle of Nowhere» is a 3D animated film set in a world inspired by Russian folklore. The story follows a little imp who tries to make a living selling traditional Russian bread rolls at a fair. However, customers avoid the supernatural vendor and prefer the local merchant’s goods. Faced with rejection and competition, the little devil decides to uncover the secret behind his rival’s success.
The main goal was to create a collection of 3D assets that capture the atmosphere of Russian folklore and traditional Russian life. The result is a collection of assets that reinforces the project’s visual style, adds character to the environment, and immerses the viewer in the world of the animated film.
I created a 3D model of a traditional cart based on my own concept. My goal was to create a convincing asset that would fit naturally into the fairground environment and help convey the atmosphere of the animated film.
THE OYSTER
The Oyster is a cozy shelter for weary fishermen, built from the remains of an old ship that will never sail the seas again. Combining a place to rest and spend the night with a small boat harbor, the haven gives the abandoned vessel a new purpose by the water
