Sharing sketches of the released “Torch” skin collection — in my humble opinion, they turned out quite charming and definitely worth your attention. 😃
While working on this collection, the possibilities for my imagination felt almost limitless! 💫
Fire, as one of the first symbols marking the beginning of human history, holds warmth, protection, fear, and power all at once. 🔥
At times, I allowed myself to experiment and move away from the classic image of a torch and flame, while still trying to preserve a recognizable silhouette. That’s how models like “Carousel,” “Hut,” and “Cake” were born 😏
