Pirate Sheep
Pirate Sheep is a Croatian 3D digital artist who spends her summers by the seaside. Growing up with a sailor father, who she describes as “a painter at heart”, Pirate Sheep and her two sisters were exposed to many wonders of the world and various forms of art from an early age. She credits an upbringing filled with the arts, specifically cartoons, sketchbooks, heavy metal comics supplied by her father and the influence of her sisters, Tea and Ana, for making her the artist she is today.
Basically, if the three of us were PowerPuff girls our ingredients would be pencils, games, and cartoon cassettes. Round that up with a heap of sea salt and BAM, the Schwestern sisters emerge.
Pirate Sheep began her journey as an artist with sketching and creating comic books. Her talent was evident, leading to her winning a few awards during her early art days. She was also accepted into a prominent art school in Croatia’s capital city Zagreb, which is where she became introduced to 3D art.
Since then, she’s become a force to be reckoned with in the world of 3D and VR art (along with her sister Tea, who learned and experimented in this new world alongside Pirate Sheep). Pirate Sheep describes her initial style as “experimental chaos.” She’s been involved in a number of “digital art waves”, such as Vapor Wave and Pastel Art, each contributing to her style as a creator today. As time went on, Pirate Sheep honed her technical skills and found her digital “tool kit” resulting in the unique, clearly defined style we see today.
Pirate Sheep’s work combines various elements of digital art, including animation, 3D rendering, and sound to create artwork with a sci-fi meets surrealism vibe.
Rudbeckia
Of course I don’t know what a flower feels, other than the joy of bathing in the sunlight perhaps. I worked on this piece by putting my own perspective in place of a flower, which was a key ingredient for instant drama.
Rudbeckia is inspired by the flower by the same name, which thrives in environments rich in sunlight. For this creation, Pirate Sheep took on the perspective of a Rudbeckia flower: Growing, basking, and moving with the sun while observing the shade from a distance.
A day in the life of a Rudbeckia is expressed through fluid motion, abstracted shapes, bright colors, and Croatian dark electronic music. This creation is more than your average artwork — it’s an immersive story and sensory experience.
