Digital 3D Cinematic Artist (Surreal & Dark Fantasy)

This project is a personal exploration of surreal, dark-fantasy worlds brought to life through cinematic 3D art.

I combined realistic rendering with symbolic storytelling, blending elements of life, death, and beauty into one visual journey.

Each scene was built and designed in Blender and Cinema 4D, with textures, lighting, and materials rendered using Octane Render for a rich, cinematic look.

I used Photoshop for final image enhancements and After Effects (plus various plugins) for color grading, post-production, and subtle motion effects.

The visual style focuses on:

Dramatic neon lighting against dark settings

Symbolic contrasts like flowers and skulls, life and decay

Cinematic camera angles inspired by film and animation

A blend of realism with surreal and dreamlike elements

The process involved:

Concept Design – sketching the mood, color palette, and composition.

3D Modeling – creating characters, props, and environments in Blender/Cinema 4D.

Lighting & Rendering – using Octane Render for photorealistic yet artistic lighting.

Post-Production – enhancing mood and colors in Photoshop and After Effects.
