About

Passionate about games design and started university with no prior experience in art, so the beginning was challenging. However, through the support and guidance of inspiring lecturers, I was able to develop both my technical and creative skills.

 

I enjoy creating realistic art styles and exploring the full process of 3D modelling. One aspect of the creative process I am particularly interested in is analysing references and studying real-world textures and details, as I believe observation is an essential part of artistic growth.

Project overview

In The Clouds

In the Clouds is a stylized 3D environment project set among floating lighthouse islands guiding airships through cloud routes. 

The central lighthouse acts as both a navigation beacon and travelling trade hub, while a neighbouring island contains a mechanical weather station providing storm and route data. Rope bridges, docking platforms, suspended machinery, and rock formations reinforce environmental storytelling. 

Inspired by fantasy and steampunk aesthetics, the scene emphasizes atmosphere, exploration, and world-building.
