“After a catastrophic event on the planet, Martha lost the Dragon. Now finally the gloomy era came to an end and both of them reunite…hugging and watching the sunshine once again.” This is how he described his work. Created using Blender, ZBrush, 3D Coat and Photoshop, the award-winning artwork perfectly presents a sci-fi story, full of imagination and creativity.

As a 2D and 3D artist, Jazib is good at modelling, sculpting, texturing and 2D concept design for characters, environments, games and cinematics. Here's the interview between Fox Renderfarm and Jazib Daud, in which you will know how he created the amazing artwork.

Fox Renderfarm: Congratulations on winning second place in the Robot Pet Challenge, how do you feel about it?

Jazib: I feel really great about it because it was my favourite challenge and It was also a win.

Robot pet instantly caught my attention because it was sci-fi themed. Second, it's about animals. As I am also an animal lover so creating something sci-fi and the cute animal was giving me a feeling that it will be so much fun. I am also super interested in robotics. So there was nothing holding me back.

Fox Renderfarm: Did you make the model of the girl and the pet from scratch? Could you share with us the modelling process?

Jazib: Girl model was made some time ago...I adjusted it to nicely fit the scenario. The robot pet model was made from scratch.

Fox Renderfarm: How long did it take to finish the work? Did you meet any difficulties when creating this work? And how did you solve it?

Jazib: It took about 7 days because I was having exams and had to manage my time.

The biggest difficulty was Time.

I solved it by being consistent and keeping things simple.

Fox Renderfarm: What’s the main gain from this challenge?

Jazib: Main gain was that I learned scene optimization, making everything good for camera. Advancing my skills in scene optimization was the main gain.

Fox Renderfarm: How do you improve your CG professional skills? Could you give some learning advice to CG learners?

Jazib: I actually learned by roaming the internet for new stuff, watching tutorials. Gaining experience by actually implementing and experimenting with things I learned.

Just being consistent is the key....Keep learning because there is a lot to learn.

I think your internet is a really helpful tool for learning. So use it.

Fox Renderfarm: Any artists or artworks inspired you most?

Jazib: Yes 2 artworks inspired me for this challenge.

Andrew Domachowski - A girl and her pet

Leonardo da Vinci - Lady with an Ermin
