Hello and Hawideri dear people of HIVE!
It took a while to write a proper introduction but here it is. I am Ninki or Dom or Dodo or โฆ. I have many names ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ just pick one you like.
I grew up in Upper Austria in a somewhat smaller village near the beautiful lake Traunsee but since 2010 I am living in Vienna and I am loving it here (sorry Dad ๐).
From my early days on I was interested in the creative process which started with envying the drawing skills of my older brother while attending a tourism school which taught me cooking and the basics of web developing and making movies (yeah โ interesting mix I know).
After that I studied at the University of Applied Science in Hagenberg and specialized in Motion Graphics and 3D Animation. Currently I work as a Motion Designer / 3D Artist in a film and post production company here in Vienna.
A few years after university I taught myself a new 3D software called Cinema 4D. To improve my skills some friends and I created a little group named โKastlโ โ which basically means โa squareโ in austrian slang terms. Within this group our goal was to share our knowledge and to create some interesting pictures โ some of them you will see on this introduction and hopefully in some later posts.
A friend and colleague of mine saw those pictures and tried convincing me to put them on the internet as NFTs and also to join this lovely community โ Hi @lichtcatchtoby ๐
More on that matter in a different entry. BUT if anyone has an idea for a good place to put those images, don't hold back. I only "really" know opensea at this point
Other big hobbies of mine are drawing and painting so chances are good that I will post some stuff here also โ if you are interested let me know.
And before I forget I am a huge board game nerd ๐. If there are any like minded people here say hi ๐โโ๏ธ
Thatโs basically it for starters. If you want to know more or just want to say โhiโ I am happy to read your comments.
Please donโt be mad at me if I don't answer back immediately - I tend to have a lot of interests and sometimes to get lost in them.
Cheers and all the best
Ninki
PS: I forgot the occasional โSorry for the obvious mistakes - English is not my mother tongue!โ
