Who doesn't love Pokémon?!
Well... I know tons of people who don't, but would they accept a real Poké Ball as a gift? Oh yeah, they would!
While rendered Poké Balls is an already "saturated" concept, each time you see a new render, it’s completely different and it's interesting to see how each artist visualizes them in their mind. But it's time to get a little more dramatic...
---Sad Violin Instrumental starts playing---
Everything started back in 1991 when Ι was born and -oh wait a second- that's going way too far back...! Fast forward to late 2020, all the world got into lockdown mode due to Covid-19 and isolation became an everyday reality for all. As a full-time photographer, I was unable to accept any new clients unless it was for product shots. So, with my newfound free time, I happily decided to further hone my skills.
However, after a while, I got mentally tired and started to focus more on my music, which is also something I have been practicing for as long as I have been into photography. It was great! I composed some awesome instrumental music which I really liked, but then, lockdown got an "extension” and all my plans got postponed again... That made me lose motivation and caused me to feel mentally tired again.
Many days passed, during which I did nothing creative, and I kept feeling that everything was pointless... But then it struck me! "I’ll start learning something completely new!" and I decided to build a nuclear reactor in my house...!
That... didn't go exactly as planned so I chose 3D modeling as a Plan-B -which was something I’ve been wanting to learn for quite some time- and damn... do I feel lucky that the nuclear reactor project was a failure and I started practicing 3D modeling instead!!!
Learning 3D was intimidating at first, but countless cups of coffee later, I fell in love with it, and I realized that learning something new was the right choice for me, in order to find my lost motivation again. (I even managed to 3D model my failed nuclear reactor, but then my software crashed so it was a failure... once again..)
Now, in "post-lockdown" days, I have 3 passions: Photography, Music, and 3D modeling. That also means I have a lot less time for anything else (YAY!), but I am perfectly fine with it! I plan to create projects that combine all 3 of my beloved crafts and even release some of them as NFTs, starting with this one!
Enjoy!
Yeah, all that text just to announce my first NFT… Damn!
