Origin
Recently, I look back and realized I was surrounded by few creatives growing up; my mom was an event photographer. I remember how I used to play with her analogue camera in the compound. By secondary school, I was drawing constantly, on my class tables, in my note books, and on A4 papers, drawing diverse figures just to practice.
Years passed, we relocated and around 2020 my parent got me an old Pentium all-in-one desktop, a wired keyboard and a mouse, with those I installed Photoshop with the help of a new neighbor who was a graphic designer. He also helped with tutorial videos, and textures on my drive. It wasn't a pivot — it was a new track in the same direction.
In 2022 I took a big break from social media and started teaching myself Blender 3D. Studied the blender gurus — polyfjord, blender guru, ducky 3D — and fused their techniques with my vision. Back then, I just wanted to create and communicate a world only I could see in my head.
