Production Technology

Character production and all design was made in Blender, sometimes, using Zbrush, Marvelous Designer, Substance painter, but mostly each character production and cinematic is using almost blender.

Design Challenge

Regarding Luna and how she came to life, even Maniacarta doesn't know how that happen, at first once he gained a bit of experience in character design and CG art he wanted to create a CG model of a beautiful fashionable Korean girl, but then he starts to see something he never expects, someone from a far land coming from another dimension will come out from his screen and once he saw the magic, Luna the Night Witch of Linerma come to life.
Even if we ask him to make another one like her wants or reproduce her from scratch, he doesn't think he can because is like a mystery for him and it's hard to reproduce and he wants to keep it like that.

Research

The research of this witch character started by looking into the Korean culture and especially the fashion model such as K-pop, but he wanted to create something unique and mysterious, so because his interest to fantasy and darkness, he start to gather many elements such as the magic blue necklace that luna wears as also the earrings she having and that's the only reference that he used for her, he went to look for interior design elements then combined and mixed many elements such as celling lamps, crescent to get the design of the magic earring.
All other elements such as clothes design, hair style, and luna was from his imaginations.

Inspiration

During his young age, Maniacarta was always motivated by anime and video games, then once he grow up and gained many experiences in his career, with the passion he have and imagination he decided to create his own story related to witches and darkness, Maniacarta can't reveal so much about the story in detail what is about but it's around fantasy world and fights between gods, darkness and witches who need to protect the land of Linerma that Enix bring it to chaos for a reason that only one witch know.
