Ever since I was a kid, I've been really passionate about art. Especially comics and animated movies have been close to my heart. When I started grade school, I began producing a comic called Tiitu the Pig & Jaana, which was a shameless ripoff of Viivi & Wagner, a Finnish newspaper comic strip. After I had created about six of these somewhat successful comics, I wanted to expand my business by combining traditional art and stickers to cut corners, so I could produce more stories.

My first introduction to the world of games came from watching my older brothers play on the PlayStation. I vividly remember watching them play through Silent Hill, discovering that you could enter the buses for the first time and watching them encounter the zombified dogs in Resident Evil. Eventually I managed to convince my brothers to let me try and I was very quickly hooked. My love towards games went on to spark my interest in horror, fantasy and post-apocalyptic media in general.

I discovered this lowpoly dinosaur diorama which had a link to its sketchfab project during my second year highschool. I had never thought that 3d is something a regular person could do so I immedietly started to play with it. After highschool ended, I picked it up again with the intentions of it being just a hobby but eventually realized that it just might be nice to do it as a proper job
