Why is painting tiny things so satisfying 😭🩷
This tiny canvas healed my inner 90s kid.

As a 3D character artist, I’m used to sculpting in pixels , with symmetry tools, layers, and endless undo options.

This time, there was no Ctrl+Z.
Just clay, pressure, and instinct.

I hadn’t touched physical sculpting in years, and coming back to it felt grounding in a way I didn’t expect. Slower. Almost meditative.

Working with my hands reminded me that behind every digital character, there’s still a human searching for form.

Grateful for Carito Caveri guidance and creative energy. Sometimes stepping outside your usual medium is exactly what pushes you forward!

A fat red panda doing kung-fu? Yes! And beware, when he gets drunks he hits stronger! 🐼 from sketch to 3d and then animation! All in blender.

☕️ Just a monkey… sipping tea and stealing the show.
In 60 seconds, watch her go from sketchy mess to animated sass 🐒💫
Yes, she’s got fabulous hair. No, I’m not jealous. (Ok maybe a little.)

✏️ Sculpted with love.
💻 Animated with too many oat latte.
🎬 Watch till the end , she actually moves!

👇 Tell me: should I give her a best friend next?

“We chase what destroys us. And we call it ‘need’.”

This artwork was born from something personal.
A reflection on the dark things we cling to…
the cravings that rot us from the inside.

I turned it into a zombie bunny.
Because sometimes, truth wears a strange costume.

🎥 In this episode of This Art Has Soul, I tell you the story behind Dark Necessities.

🫀Tap the sound on. Let it sink in.

👇 What’s something you think you need,
but deep down… you know it’s hurting you?

👑 The King of Bullshit – This Art Has Soul / Episode 3

I sculpted this piece after being hit by a wave of hate and gossip.
Not because I did anything wrong, but because some people need a villain to feel alive.
So I made him a crown.

This is not just 3D art. This is about the poison people spread when they’re empty inside.

🎥 Watch the first episode of This Art Has Soul and meet the king born from lies.
💬 Have you ever been the target of other people’s bullshit?

Second episode of “this art has soul” -

Back in 2018, I sculpted this little cactus holding a sign and craving for attentions.

It was born from a memory: when I was a child, I often felt out of place, invisible… but still craving to be understood and loved.

Pet Me reminds me that even those who seem tough or distant — like a cactus — are often just protecting something fragile inside.

This is not just a 3D artwork.
This is a part of my story.

🎬New 1-minute series: “This Art Has Soul”
Quick. Emotional. Real.
First episode: Elephant Dream (2017), a piece about quiet strength and dreams that never fade.
Because even short art stories can leave a mark.

Back in 2019, everything was changing. I left a relationship, moved to a new city… but art stayed. It’s always been my therapy.

Some companies reached out to ask if I could help train their AI… to replicate my 3D style. So they can… you know… replace me later. Isn’t that cute?
What do you think? Missed opportunity to become immortal or protecting the future? 🤔 let me know!

Updating the little bird’s design ! he’s now a brave pilot, ready to explore the skies and dive into new adventures! I also refined the feathers and overall look to give him a fresher, more detailed style. Better? Let me know!
