Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
I was always fascinated by witches and fantasy this is where it really soya came to be. at first, I wanted to create a beautiful digital human Korean girl but then my imagination starts to take me somewhere else once I started to see Soya
From there I start to think about how I can give a beautiful dark touch and make her unique from there I start to get inspiration from witches and mystery fantasy characters to create her to a new level of creativity.
The way made soya is like using Lego, it was for me like a puzzle to achieve what I want at the end from there I start to think about creating different lighting scenario and cinematic shots to give the final visual and representation of her characteristic as a light witch.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
Every character I develop, I use blender as my main production workflow this time I wanted to achieve something dark, beauty deep mysterious, I achieved what I want but still as an artist I always like to find new challenges to bring something new to the World and this is really my true passion.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
To complete my story the Witches of Linerma and reveal the true identity of this Witch why her name is Luna where she came from and what's the reason that she is the main protagonist of the story to save Linerma from the Darkness that the God of chaos Enix created.
