That gave me an incredible foundation for understanding 3D and modeling later on, and for quickly sketching branding concepts today Thank you!

About six months ago, I tracked down a bunch of people from that era. It was so interesting to see what everyone’s up to these days. So nostalgic! :)

People in the comments are already accusing me of using AI for these haha :) thanks for the kind words Slava

100%!… thanks

I spotted Outlaws for sale just recently! :) It's been so long, I wonder how many decks they've produced by now

Thanks Artyom! Definitely having a glass of wine tonight. So happy to know my work inspired so many people

Yes! Back in 2010, I was using AI almost every single day!

Thanks!

So true! Connecting, making new friends, collaborating, it all feels so much easier here. Only wish I'd discovered X sooner :)

What a golden era that was! :)

Yes! Can't believe it's been 16 years when I look back at my Behance Thanks a ton Serge!

Woooow, thank you so much for the repost and support, Steve! Walking home with a huge smile and a warm heart :)

It'll take some time to dig everything up. My Behance only goes back to 2010–2011 :)

Now that's a proper throwback! :)

Collecting decks was huge back then, until cardistry took over :) Everyone jumped on that instead!

These days, with AI, I feel like we're all turning into actual octopuses :)

Thank you! It's so nice to know that despite all the changes in my work, people still find it interesting

I should upload some work from 2005! Now THAT would be a show :) A bit embarrassing, but if I'm sharing, might as well show it all! :))

Now I'm sitting here blushing and smiling after all these compliments :) Thanks Dima

That project really opened up a whole new world for me :) I ended up making around 9 or 10 more playing card decks for different clients.. It was incredibly popular at the time, and at OFFF Design Festival everyone was exchanging cards
