3dcreative: Hi Dmitry, thanks for talking to
3dcreative! Please introduce yourself to our
readers with a bit about who you are, where
you’re based, and what you do:
Dmitry Cheremisin: Hello everyone! My name
is Dmitry. I am 32 years old and I live in Kiev,
Ukraine. I’ve worked in the gaming industry for
seven years, but I’m currently a freelancer, as well
as working on my own projects in my spare time.
3dc: What was your artistic education like? How
did you come to learn 3D?
DC: I’m an architect by education. However, I
was always more attracted to computer graphics
and video games. It was my hobby which later
became my profession. I’m self-taught in 3D.
3dc: Who or what would you say are your biggest
creative inspirations?
DC: I’m inspired by videogames and anime for
new projects. I like bright, colorful, memorable
characters that don’t leave me indifferent. When
I’m creating my own projects, I try to give the
same qualities to my characters. It’s really very
important to me. I like to convey the character’s
personality, work on their accent details, and pay
attention to detail. I set for myself several criteria
for the final image and try to stick to them.
