3DTotal : Hi Vitaly, thanks for talking to us. Firstly can you tell us about your regular working day?
Vitaly : Yeah, thanks for inviting me! Well... let’s get started. 7.00: The alarm clock summons my soul to this world and the mortal combat beginsJ)) I work on two projects now, so it means 16 hours working day.... I sleep for a few hours and then everything starts again the next morning! hmm, if somebody asked me if I could have a magic ability, I would ask for the ability to be free of the necessity to sleep. We spend a third of our lives dreaming... aaagghh! What a vain waste of time!

 
   

3DTotal : So would you prefer to work 24 hours a day or do you just find that you need that time to answer these questions? ;-)
Vitaly : Hey, it looks like it wasn’t so good from my side that I’ve been answering these questions for a month because I was so busy with my latest project. Yeah, I wish I could work 24 hours a day without any rest. I mean, not only 3D but working over myself in general. An aspiring man must be strong, not only by his intelligence but also by his fist! I’m against sedentary life, people should train both their mind and body!

3DTotal : And how does your work affect your personal artwork?

Vitaly : The only thing that my work makesme do with my personal art is to work asfast as I can. I’m so happy that I’m too busy because it is the main reason why I appreciate my freetime so much.

3DTotal :
You have created a lot of ‘evil’ looking creatures, and then you create a house for a fairy! Do you prefer ‘evil’ or are you just inspired whatever the subject matter?
Vitaly : Ha-ha, I knew that one day somebody would ask me this question.
   
Actually, ‘house for a fairy’ was created long before my ‘evil’ looking creatures. No more work of this kind after this. Only such unkind fantasies. However, it doesn’t mean, that I’m as evil as my works. I’m a happy guy and not so bad as my works ;-)!

3DTotal :
What made you change to the darker side of 3D characters? Were there specific influences such as dark comics or other artists?

Vitaly : I can’t say I’ve changed to the “dark side of the force”. I’ve been always dark, ha-ha! However, I can name some input from the dark side.
   
 
It is the work of great artists such as H.R. Giger and Zdislaw Beksinsky... They have become classics to me. I would like to name also some modern concept artists: Hawk Prey and Paul Richards.
Anyway the main reason why my art is so is the MUSIC. Without music life would be a mistake)))
