“A Knight’s Story”
This creation was inspired by a fictional interpretation of the Nuremberg Armor from The Met’s public archive.
The original piece is a German suit of armor made in Nuremberg around 1520, constructed from steel and leather. Its distinctive fluted surfaces reflect the transition from late Gothic armor toward the fuller forms associated with the Maximilian style.
For this project, I wanted to explore the different stages of the armor’s imagined life — not simply as an object, but as something that existed within an environment, was worn, carried, marked by events, and eventually left behind as a trace of history.
The challenge was to communicate a specific feeling without explaining everything, leaving enough space for the viewer to complete the story themselves.
Really happy to take part in the Challenge using FLORA. Exploring The Met’s archive was already inspiring, but digging deeper into the histories and possible narratives surrounding individual objects made the process even more interesting.

A look at the main menu I've been building for Dead Orbit, for the @Rive × Contra Halloween challenge
🔊 Sound on
Brought 2D artboards into 3D space using GPU Canvas, with custom shaders, interactive elements, and a few Halloween surprises
Built with Rive CLI, Luau scripting, WGSL shaders, state machines, and data binding. Everything runs inside a single Rive file
Wow, thats amazing🔥
Ok, honestly ?
I'm absolutely impressed by Rive's flexibility!
I'm building a real-time 3D sculpting engine using just Luau and WGSL, GPU ray marching, SDFs and interactive carving, all inside Rive!
Who said Rive was just for 2D?!?
Now, back to work… the road to the contest deadline is still LONG!

seeing the raw file tree like that is a fun peek, id try sculpting a skull first
some visuals from iki, a matcha shop i’m currently working on 🍵
one of the most interesting parts of this project has been figuring out how to turn an abstract concept into something people can actually see and feel.
from the typography to the illustrations and overall visual language, every element is an opportunity to give the brand more personality and make it feel like its own world.
still exploring, but i’m really enjoying where this is going.
the illustration direction feels like it could take over the whole shop interior, not just the cups. thats usually where these projects fall apart
