"This short animation started from a midnight scroll on instagram, which gave me a drive to create an environment, I was going for something simple in order to create something quick with the current burning passion, but ended up creating a story out of it, I kept developing the idea from just a corridor environment to an animation involving a character being abducted then I added a subplot which involved a cat trying to hunt a rat, in which they also got abducted."
"This art was inspired by Max Hay art and Sweeper3D art. It started from a monolith design I saw on Max Hay's instagram, but I didn't want to make it a dark fantasy like his, I wanted it to be huge with a lot of grass and mountains at the back to indicate a hidden location. In short, I wanted to create something that feels hidden and also a safe haven that feels surreal, maybe something like Noah's Ark of some sort. Which inspired the name sanctum."
"This art was inspired by one of the frames from Apple TV series "Invasion" Season Two’s title sequence, most especially the shot with a man standing on an abandoned bridge, but I also wanted to create something abandoned and at the same time give a feeling of hope and beauty, definitely not in the night hours."
"This animation was as a result of a quarterly 3D challenge organized by Clinton Jones a.k.a Pwnisher on Youtube. This was done in a short time, since I promised myself I will join in to improve my skills. So the inspiration came from the theme of the challenge, I was hoping to tell a story showcasing a character in a white garment, holding a scroll ascending to a city in the sky at the same time showcasing an environment with a futuristic cyberpunk world that is dark with neon lights, and flying vehicles blending with a fantastical abode in the heavens sitting in the clouds which is bright, plain and peaceful."
