Razer Axon’s The Rookies wallpaper series showcases the vibrant and diverse creativity of aspiring artists and designers whose artwork won the Rookie Awards 2024—a globally recognized competition that celebrates emerging artists and designers, drawing over 5,000 entries across creative fields like games, animation, and visual effects.
In this series, we’ll explore the stories behind two of the artists whose work are now available as digital wallpapers for your personal enjoyment – Fidelina Villa Escorcia, Jordan Ann Gomes, and Xiang Zhang.
Fidelina Villa Escorcia: No Cell Phone this Weekend
Fide is an architect with a deep passion for 3D visualization. Her dream job is to work as a 3D artist, combining architecture with film and XR environment creation. Inspired by a cozy cabin she found online, which had been on sale for months with its price reduced twice, Fide envisioned a renovation that would transform the space into a serene retreat, blending indoor comfort with the beauty of nature. Guided by the theme “disconnect to reconnect,” No Cell Phone this Weekend is her first static render animation which showcases the cabin as a peaceful escape from daily life.
Jordan Ann Gomes: Chinese Steampunk Express
Jordan is an artist passionate about 3D character design and environment art. She enjoys exploring new techniques and constantly challenges herself to expand her creative abilities. This piece is a 3D interpretation of the Chinese Steampunk Express concept by Edgar Kim, capturing a dynamic, fast-paced food delivery scene. It blends the stylized aesthetic of the concept with the energetic intensity of a moment that feels perfectly suited for a game or movie. Completed in just four weeks, she describes it as her “most challenging project yet.”
Xiang Zhang: Da Car Shop
Xiang Zhang is a 3D artist specializing in 3D animation, game design, motion graphics, and related fields. One of his personal projects, The Darkest Alley, which features Da Car Shop, was his most recent environmental project, created during his free time with the goal of enhancing his lighting skills.
