I couldn’t believe that very famous film producer would come to Russia… Jim Morris from Pixar came to our BHSAD University, gave a lecture about the Pixar journey and the history of 3D movies! I didn’t know that the first 3D was created in 1972! In addition it was a hand! I have found an interesting blog by Robby Ingebretsen and there was a small video induction about how the 3D technology started.http://nerdplusart.com/first-3d-rendered-film-from-1972-and-my-visit-to-pixar/

Jim Morris presented greatly. Everyone were listening to him very carefully. I enjoyed the lecture and I found out lots of amazing facts and basic tips for creating 3D movies.

Sotogrande International School student Angelina Popelnykh receiving her RBA Scholar certificate from NADFAS Chief Executive Dr Florian Schweizer at the...

21.10.15

This is the day when the NADFAS gave me a title of RBA Scholar. It was in San Roque Club – very prestigious place for the people who like elite golf. I have never been in this kind of places/presentation/ceremony before. This was the great honour to be there.  Many people who understand and know art so well came to the ceremony. Many Thanks to Mr Harris, Mrs Bannel and my brother Andrey, who were supporting me on that day.

This competition was the first great achievement that I had in my lifetime. I hope that it’s not the last one =)

The 24 Hour Comic Day 2015

03.10.15 - 04.10.15

I had participated in very….very challenging event.. The 24 HOUR COMIC DAY

This experience was quite amusing for me because I never thought that I could do that.

I slept only 1 hour. If I wouldn’t do this, I would just die. I used whole 24 hours to complete the comics. Even though it is not really good quality, this event will motivate me to practice more on good fast drawing.

I made comics about my cute Canary SunSun. He becomes an amazing phoenix, give a ride to his owner and showing magical guardians to her.

I used different media to show the feel of various worlds. Of course, there are some madness because of 24 hours non stop..haha. Anyway, this event was a great test. I enjoyed it. =)

IGROMIR 2015

02.10.15

Ahhh.. I still feel wings on my back even though I took them off.. I just came back from an amazing exhibition ComicCon and IgroMir. Feeling exhausted, but the feel and experience that I got from there are unforgettable. Finally, I got in to that amazing event..I waited for it for 4 years!

Lots..lots of new games, comics and products were introduced.  Unfortunately, there was no the stand with WarCraft movie that will release on 2016. Anyway! There was so many other great games, which even half of them I couldn’t try because there was huge amount of people..)

There were games like: «Assassin's Creed™ Синдикат», «Bloodborne™ Порождение крови», Cannon King, God of War III™ , Guitar Hero Live, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, LEGO Marvel's Avengers,Star Wars™ Battlefront™,Total War: WARHAMMER and all other amazing games.

Next year I will definitely come IgroMir/ComicCon with a proper cosplay…and I won’t be there only for one day..but for the whole 4 days of the event. =)
