Stavros Loutsios

Today’s Featured Artist for CCC16 is talented 3D-artist and animator Stavros Loutsios!

Stavros is an extremely passionate multidisciplinary artist, working both with media and 3D printing. From a young age he developed a passion for games, cartoons and anime. That passion has led him to study Applied Multimedia at the University of Nicosia and follow up with a master’s degree in Animation and Visual Effects at the University of Bradford.

To see more of Stavros work, visit his Facebook page.

For the past couple of years he has been using his 3D modeling and animation skills to design and edit 3D models, which he then brings to life, with the help of a 3D printer. Even though this technology is still young, it already offers multidisciplinary designers unlimited possibilities. His experimentation drove him in creating household items which are related to games, anime, cartoons and TV series.

Stavros currently lives and works in Nicosia as a freelance multimedia designer. He is the creator and owner of King’s Forge, a Facebook page where he posts about ongoing, as well as future projects. He welcomes everyone to contact him and share their ideas with him and he can help you develop them into final products!

Cyprus Comic Con is excited to announce that YouTube personalities 2J  and Cat Von K will be present at this year’s event. The two YouTubers are really looking forward to a massive meet & greet with their many fans all weekend long. Merchandise, autographs and photo opportunities will all be available at their booths in the special guest area!

2J – to call him a YouTube sensation would be an understatement given his masses of loyal fans and hundreds of thousands of subscribers. 2J first shot to stardom with his parody videos ‘Ellhnika kai Kypriaka Zoa‘ receiving millions of views – his rise as an entertainer soon saw the creation and spawning of doppelganger mirrored aliases 3J, 1J, Vlakas and of course Batmanas, each having their own witty twist and very own fan bases. His latest gaming YouTube channel, 2J Games, officially rose to number one in the region taking the Hellenic world by storm.

 

Joining him at Cyprus Comic Con 2016 is YouTube starlet Cat Von K who in under a year has been followed by over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube alone, catapulting her to fame. With complementing eminent presences on both Instagram & Facebook, Cat seems destined to hit a quarter of a million subscribers very, very soon.

 

Both 2J and Cat will be awaiting you at their booths in the special guest area on 3rd & 4th September from 10:00 onwards (09:00 for VIP ticket-holders) at Cyprus Comic Con 2016. See you there!
