Introduction

Hi! My name is Elina Karimova. I started to pursue CG in 2015, in my university days. I had been studying architecture and we were taught some courses on 3D, rendered architecture and infrastructure in 3ds Max. I’ve been working at Plarium as a 3D Character Artist for 2 years. Our most famous projects are Vikings War of Clans and Throne Kingdom at War. Previously, I had been freelancing for a Canadian artist Jon Rafman for a while when he had exhibitions in the USA and Europe.

I have never learned sculpting professionally and did everything on my own. The internet is full of useful information. Use it wisely and you won’t need additional courses. Personally, I made two attempts to get into ZBrush: the first one was in 2014 but I did not succeed much in learning. Later, in 2015 I tried again with renewed energy and the fun had begun! Mostly, I learned from YouTube watching speed sculpts and analyzing artworks of skilled artists. Artworks of James W Cane especially impressed me and I suppose that they inspired me to learn ZBrush further.
