Vessel Forge

Alexandre Panizzoli completed his amazing project “Junkyard Drum Forge” with Maxim Dorokhov’s guidance during his 3D Prop Art Mentorship! 🥁 Take a look at Maxim’s mentorship below! vesselforge.com/services/3d-...

Their project explores an original idea: a custom drum kit built entirely from salvaged scrap metal and junk, strongly influenced by the Steampunk and Cyberpunk genres. Alexandre shares: “Huge thanks to Maxim for the incredible insights, help, and feedback throughout the 8 weeks!”
