Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Stanislav Mikhailov, sometimes I also use nicknames MIX or MXVZ. I live in Minsk, the capital of the Republic of Belarus. Now I am working part-time on an unannounced project at a young gaming company. After graduating from the architectural university, I had been working as an architect for 4 years: I began from the creation of stained glass blueprints and gradually moved to Arch Viz. In my last year in architecture, I had been actively developing my CG portfolio. After that, I got into the small GameDev studio where I became one of two artists. I had to learn how to create characters, textures and even promo materials. After the completion of the project I moved to the current one and now I have been spending most of my time on writing an Art Style Guide. I have been receiving invitations from big studious, but I decided to devote this year to ZBrush, MoI3D, Marvelous Designer, and probably 2D concept art. A heavy workload didn’t give me enough time for learning, so now I work remotely, on a part-time contract.

I decided to devote each month of this year to learning of the particular software for my portfolio. February and January are for Substance Designer. In March, I am going to get down to the classical Sub-D modeling of Sci-Fi objects. And so on.
