I participated in a contest on The Rookies.co website, competing in the texturing category. The challenge for entrants was to infuse creativity into a production-ready robot and, in the words of the brief, to "wow the judges." My concept centered around portraying the robot in a reflective state, pondering its role in a devastating war that had left the world in ruins. It had gained self-awareness and was grappling with the moral implications of its actions, questioning whether it was all worth it.

I'm proud to share that my entry was selected as a finalist! The entire experience was exciting but also a valuable learning opportunity. Throughout the process I gained some valuable insights into the art of digital storytelling and honed techniques that will undoubtedly shape my future projects.
