1. Zozulinskyi  

Tell us about yourself and what you do?

I am Oleksandr Zozulinskyi and I’m from Ukraine. I have always been interested in physics and I graduated from University with a degree in physics and astronomy. In Ukraine, physics teachers do not earn very much, so I looked for other ways to earn money. My friend suggested that I try my hand at stock photography, so I gave it a go and then moved into 3D graphics.

What do you love about your work and why?

The freedom to create whatever I want and being able to turn fantasy into reality.

Any advice for other Author’s working in your field?

Keep fighting and you will win! In dark times, bright people are clearly visible.

Thank you Envato for the opportunity to earn money. Now I understand that quitting physics and doing 3D graphics was absolutely the right decision.

2. FlashMovie

Tell us about yourself…

My name is Andrey Maslov. I studied computer graphics at university, but I didn’t realize how broad this field was. Following graduation, I began learning After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, as well as various rendering engines for them. I became interested in making 3D stock videos and in 2018 I started creating them on Envato.

What do you love most about your work? 

I love the freedom of the creative process, the flight of thought, and the absolute spaciousness, which is only limited by my imagination.

Where do you get inspiration from? 

There are a lot of creative Authors I follow on Instagram. You can get inspiration from watching a TV advertisement or flipping through a tape. Right now, my favorite themes are cyberpunk and neon.

Are there any emerging trends that you’re loving at the moment?

I’ve been studying NFT for the last year and I have devoted a lot of time to this. 

Love what you do. True love for your work is important and helps you overcome any barriers.

I started learning motion design about 15 years ago and since then my artistic activity revolves around digital artworks.

Envato is full of great artists and looking over new projects is part of my daily routine. I can’t say I have a favorite one because I don’t want to be unintentionally influenced by a certain style.

Creativity is boundless and worth exploring.

6.WashirvinG

Tell us about yourself and what you do?

I’m a motion graphic artist known as WashirvinG. I used to be a professional actor but realized this wasn’t the career for me, so I started a completely new career and became a motion graphic designer and VFX freelance artist.

What do you love about your work?

The best thing about this work is the creative freedom. You can do what you want; the only judge is a customer who likes your work and buys it or doesn’t like it and doesn’t buy it. It’s simple.

It’s a wonderful warm feeling when someone from the other side of the Earth finds something beautiful and useful in things that you have made with your own hands.

What other Envato Authors inspire you?

Pretty much all of the other Authors. Envy is fuel for creativity. When you see stunning work and you have no idea how it was made, it’s a personal challenge to learn something new and grow your skills.

Any advice for other Author’s working in your field?

Be envious, be free, and don’t stop experimenting and making new things. Imagination is an endless source. Stay passionate about your work. Love what you do and do what you love. Stay independent and find your very own style.
