ICE QUEEN

12 hour character design sprint. I’m Slavic American. I observe quietly. I grew up in a town where winters stretched half the year, and many children rose before sunrise to shovel snow so their parents could work and they could go to school. I was one of them.

That environment shaped a disposition often misread as cold or unfeeling. Cats are perceived the same way: aloof, watchful, vicious.

And yet, like a fire in winter, my dedication to 3D brings warmth, anchoring both my life and my craft.
