Artistic Statement
My work combines the use of 3D modelling and animation to express appreciation of great wit and creative scenery.
I have been a fan of fantasy for ages and greatly appreciate the work of other artists, both graphical and literary. My greatest aspiration in my craft is to one day achieve the adaptation of such a great work into a new form that does the original source justice and further spreads it to new people. My second greatest aspiration would be to create an original piece that I consider truly worthy of admiration, which unfortunately would require significant external validation.
My great inspirations are narrative artists like Terry Pratchett, Brandon Sanderson, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and S.D. Tower, as well as more visual shapers the likes of Studio Foglio, guweiz ,and wlop. It is not only the immense scope of their work that inspires me, but also the intricate care for details in their creations.
What I have is the beginning of a journey that will take exploration and a lot of hard work. The promise and goal at the end of this journey is true satisfaction, which I consider a worthy reward by itself, and an additional bonus of potentially bringing joy and entertainment of stories I know and love to new audiences.
I expect to work on short scenes marking significant occasions in important stories to me soon, and to achieve a progressively higher degree of polish and excellence in my execution. I am constantly working on my own continuous narrative and worldbuilding and hope to begin work with a studio adapting great stories as an animator or modeler in the next few years.
The man, the myth, the legend
I was born 1996 near Berlin, Germany. Moved to Norway at a young age, and have traveled across the globe including visits to Australia, the US, and Sri Lanka. More than anything else, I am a fan of novel ideas and projects – that is where my enthusiasm and creativity best come to bear.
Studied arts and architecture as an elective in High School with top marks. Received a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia from the University of Agder in 2020, with education in filming, photography, programming, web design, and 3DS Max.
Moved on to the Animation and Digital Arts program at the Inland University of Applied Sciences, graduating with a second Bachelor’s Degree in 2024. Focused heavily on 3D animation and 3D modeling during this time, learning Autodesk
Maya and Unreal Engine 5. Earned incidental experience with Substance Painter, ZBrush, and Blender.
In my free time I am an avid fan of roleplaying, both tabletop and play-by post. I find it gives me a great creative outlet and opportunity to exercise my writing skills while also providing a friendly social environment. I spend a
lot of time online and enjoy watching science videos for a bottomless supply of interesting facts, and I read books with a heavy weight on fantasy literature.
I am quiet and amenable, calm under pressure and preferentially very punctual.
