In the summer of 2022, I was approached by A'maal's team through my peer Arthikka during our time working together through our Hxouse residency. The team sought to make a small collection of visuals that depicted A'maal as an otherworldly and magical entity.

A series of visuals for singer/songwriter, A'maal Nuux during her festival run in Toronto.
When I approached this project, I immediately thought of recreating A'maal as a celestial figure. I didn't want to want to make her model too alien so I kept her figure completely human. Originally the team had opted to have a visual representation of a metallic brazier she wore in a past artwork for one of her singles covering her model. We ultimately chose to change it to a bear showing as to not date the visual (and also to keep modeling/rendering time down to a minimum.
My personal favourite piece of the collection was of the set of eyes. My main aim for all three was to create a clean loop that could be repeated for at least 30 minutes straight, so when capturing a visual of eyes I relied on the blinking. I went on to add variety into the animation by changing the iris colour. I enjoyed this process and was happy to see it brought the best reaction among the visuals.
The loop of A'maal's name was a simple text-to-3D transfer. I then used an animated sequence of water caustics as an additional detail to keep the visual grounded in some sort of natural realism.
