Olly Low Poly And The Zombie Tower Game

in ,

Last month we posted a teaser of upcoming mobile game "Olly Low Poly and The Zombie Tower" created by awesome motion designer Vladimir Tomin. Today it is out on AppStore for a cost of the cheapest half of coffee and available for download.

"Olly Low Poly And The Zombie Tower" is my first attempt to create video game. It took me 9 month of spare evening time to finish this project from a scratch. And programming was not the hardest part. Was it worth it? You tell me. I think it was totally worth it and this is definitely just the beginning." says Vladimir

Alex Novoseltsev illustrations

in , , ,

I bet you will enjoy this portfolio of Russian illustrator and digital artist Alex Novoseltsev. It is all about cartooning and awesome techniques of caricature art. Beside the fact that each portrait is a small digital arts masterpiece, they all have a soul and and a grotesque feature of an object whenever it is an actor or celebrity.

Illustrations by Vika Zobenko

in , ,

That's really intriguing when less works is more about quality and attraction, like here with Vika Zobenko's few personal illustration works. I like the way she builds and atmosphere with a few details and a strong drawing line especially when it comes to personages. Hope to see more of her works soon on http://www.behance.net/vikazobenko

Nenuphar organic shelving by Lesha Galkin

in , ,

StPete based designer Lesha Galkin (one third of Dopludo Collective) released a new experimental home shelving object - Nenuphar. Floating like a water-lily Nenuphar is a completely eco-born system using metal strings with no fixation and wooden shelves with organic shapes. The distributed weight of the construction rests easily on that 10 rods.

A Touching Application by Working Title

in , , , ,

We had a chance to speak with Russian designers from "Bureau Working Title" that did a commercial short "A Touching Application" using no 3D software, only projection mapping, modeling and classic animation. The ad shows advantages of Russian navigation application published by Yandex Ltd.

DC: What is the main plot of this advertisiment? The touching story tells us about two sentimental creatures from some outer world; nevertheless, they seem to be a lot like humans. As the two plan their date in a telephone conversation, they decide to meet up in a planetarium. From now on, they get any information from a mobile map application, which tells them the best routes, timing and any other – that's important – interactive tips. They face random barriers on their way: she gets stuck in a traffic jam, he forgets to buy her flowers and so on. The application helps them to finally meet each other on a crossroad and make their way to the planetarium "using" the "street view" option. We see them as they watch the stars leaning towards each other. The story ends up with a slogan: "A touching application".

What was the largest challenge in producing and directing the project? The hardest was to deal with time which passed so slowly. Classic animation process requires a lot of patience, and the more patient you are, the more satisfaction you get when the work is done. But russian advertising is always about tough deadlines, so you have to make it really quick. Thanks to the professionals who helped us getting the shootings done in its best ways and shared their skills with us. Furthermore, it was a great challenge to combine various techniques: stop-motion animation with dummies, iPad-freezelight, 3D projection mapping and a little bit of computer graphics.

How long did it take you to complete the whole project? Making of all the stage requisites, creating the script, directing everything to its sterile fancy looks, shooting till the final cut – the whole process took us about 1,5 months to get done.
