Hi everyone! We continue series of short interviews with the best artists from Hum3D competitions.
Suqinlee, author of the “Small garden”, will answer six questions and give us a look behind the scenes of his work.
Hello everyone, my name is Suqinlee and I am from China. I am 25 years old and have been working in design for 8 years. I was doing graphic design at first and then came into contact with 3D design by chance. I fell in love with this very creative way of working and turned around as a 3D designer. Currently, I am an independent designer, working on any project that interests me.
I pay attention to every Hum3d competition and analyze the conditions required for excellent work. I think a good story is very important. At first, I tried to find inspiration from life. I found an abandoned one when I was shopping. Although the garden is abandoned by humans, it is accepted by nature and exists more harmoniously. I want to express this form in my works, showing a quiet and vital scene. Afterward, I started to turn on the computer to collect as much information as possible to make an emotional version. After confirming the details, I started to use Cinema4d for scene design and car modeling. Since what I want to express is a garden that has been abandoned for many years. I designed the car in a retro and cute shape. After the modeling is completed, I use Quixel’s plant assets to increase the richness of the picture and use Substance 3D Painter to draw textures. Finally, I use octane for picture rendering.
The biggest challenge is to make realistic materials and rendering effects because usually, my design style is more cartoonish, but in this competition, I decided to change myself and break through myself!
Ideally, I hope to have a set of personal works every 3 months. As for commercial projects, they are always in progress. Depending on the size of the project, it may be a few days or a few months. My favorite work is Four Seasons With You, which I created for my girlfriend. You can see it on my Behance.
I like a lot of 3D artists, I like a variety of design styles, Peter Tarka, Beeple, Omar Aqil is a few artists I like very much.
– Experiment with different styles to make sure you are always improving.
– Participate in challenging things as much as possible, such as design competitions, so that you can see your shortcomings and make corrections.
– Keep independent thinking, often ask yourself: will learning this technology really help me, is this really a good idea, and avoid following the crowd.
– Find more inspiration from life, sometimes we need to stay away from the computer to discover the inconspicuous and interesting gadgets in the real world.
– Pay attention to rest, when you feel tired, turn off the computer, do something else, or have a good sleep.
