MASTER THESIS
Since my earliest childhood I wanted to become a creative.
Starting to draw and shape figurines I also re-shaped some of my purchased action figures with clay,
if they didn’t suit me well.
It is no coincidence that I have been doing that until today, even in a slightly different manner:
Character designis one of my main talents. In combination with powerful software like ZBrushI am able to createa broad variety: Fromhumanoid characters tomonsters and alien creatures.Due tomy past and present as movie enthusiastI get inspiredin developingmy ownideas forcharacters,scenarios and narrations.
To realize my ideas professionallyI started my academic life with my bachelor studies, where I was taught the principles of design.To bracemymedia creation skills I enrolled at FolkwangUniversity of the Arts for my master studiesin cooperation with the SAE institute.For graduationI was able to create thecomplete video game demoof »INQU –Searching for Origin«. I used the medium »video game« to achieve the goal of complex narration in combination with elaborate visual design.
My philosophy of life is to work in the creative direction, where I can unite my fertile activities with my interests. These range from my movieenthusiasmup tomy preference in sports. I discovered CrossFit some time ago –the perfect way for me to coordinate balance, strength, stamina, precision, agilityand physical feeling.

BACHELOR THESIS
THE PAINTINGS
"We are being watched!"
One of the mini-games of the bachelor thesis is based on a chapter in which two of the protagonists break into the haunted castle to get information and collect clues.
Since it is already late in the evening at the time of the investigation, the premises are very dark. The two are only equipped with a flashlight. Therefore, they begin to fear and react to every single sound. While rummaging around, they discover four paintings on the walls. They are the portraits of the master of the house Stephen Terrill, showing him in his famous silent movie roles, as an English nobleman, a circus clown, a hunchback and a one-eyed pirate.
One of the paintings gives the impression that it is watching them, that of the pirate. Before this scene occurs in the book a marker is set that must be tracked to initiate the game.
