Helliot: The 3D magician who awakens our inner child

You know that feeling of nostalgia that comes over you when you think back to your childhood? That mix of sweetness and melancholy that makes you smile? Well, imagine someone who managed to capture that emotion and make it their job. This is the story of Eliot Dewolf, the 23-year-old guy who hides behind the pseudonym Helliot.

During his studies in graphic design, he took a different path from his classmates. While everyone else was focusing on traditional techniques, he immersed himself in the world of 3D. It was not a foregone conclusion, especially with a computer that had trouble keeping up.

Unable to do realism, Eliot turned to a softer, rounder style. A style that recalls the innocence of childhood. And there, bam! He found his way.

But wait, we haven't even talked about the star character of his universe: ERED.

This little mascot is like Eliot's reflection. A bit like those Sanrio or Keroro characters, if you know what I mean. ERED is more than just a drawing. It's the spokesperson for Eliot's emotions, his digital alter ego.

And you know what's great? He does VFX, sound design, and even textiles. Have you seen his stuffed animal or scarf?

This is pure Eliot.

His workspace is a bit like entering the bedroom of your childhood dreams. Old toys everywhere, colors, life. It is this environment that nourishes his creativity on a daily basis. And his goal is to share this visual and sound comfort with the people who follow him.

But Eliot doesn't stop there. He has plans for the future. He wants to develop a whole narrative universe around ERED. We're not just talking about a few drawings here and there. No, we're talking about a real story, with a past, a present and a future. It's like he's creating his own series, but in his own way.

So yes, Eliot doesn't like the word "artist" very much. But honestly, what else do you call someone who creates an entire universe from his emotions and childhood memories? Who manages to touch people not only visually, but also emotionally?

The year 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point for Eliot. This is where all this groundwork, all this preparation, is going to take shape. We're finally going to discover the story of ERED in its entirety. And something tells me it's going to be quite the adventure.

So, are you ready to dive into the world of Helliot?
