My name is Daniil Alikov. I'm CG Artist originally from Russia. I love CG at all but especially I'm crazy about surfacing which is my both hobby and profession. Being mostly self-taught artist I always eager to gain new skills. Nowadays I'm going to study traditional drawing and painting to achieve strong results to further expand my current skills in texture painting. Currently I work in great Russian studio called Glukoza Production as a Senior Surfacing Artist on the "Savva" animated feature. I dream about see the world and meet plenty of interesting people working in the best CG studios! Perhaps it much closer to me than I can imagine =)
The idea for «Still life with black pepper» came about after an idea my wife, Sofia, and I had to create a picture with a lot of different textures and materials
