Question: How did you get into game art? What motivates you in this field? 

Game art presents many challenges both technically and artistically, and this dynamic nature constantly motivates me. It pushes me to improve and refine my skills.

Question: What is your favorite design or character in the game? Why? 

My favorite design is Xorm Seeker. I really love the overall style of the Xorms, and this particular design holds a special place for me.

Question: What is your creative process like? Can you walk us through the stages a concept goes through before reaching its final form? 

After receiving the concept, I take some time to think it through and create a mockup. Then, I move on to high-poly modeling, followed by low-poly modeling. In the final stage, I paint the model according to the concept and finalize it.

As a game artist, my main goal is to continuously improve myself both artistically and technically. I shape elements like style, color palette, and lighting based on the needs and atmosphere of the project.
