Freezing Moon is a foundation (aka Non-Profit Organization), started around the fall of 2007 by Valentin Anastase, a cg artist known around various parts of the Internet as Dread Knight.

His vision is to create an art & gaming oriented community that will develop open projects over the internet, projects such as games and cinematics, by making good usage of free open source cross platform software in the development pipeline.

Secondary goals are to provide with training material, helping enthusiasts get better glimpse of the pipeline tools in order to achieve similar results to different elements from the open projects and therefore spread the use of free open source software, as well as to improve the pipeline tools.

Inspiration for the name of the NPO came from the song by the black-metal band called Mayhem.

Since I was a little kid, I was into cartoons and I was pretty obsessed with video games. I'm all about freedom, I don't like having a boss telling me what to do and I'm rather nerdy, even if I don't show it most of the time. I'm very versatile when it comes to computers. Free Open Source is the way to go!

I'm a lifelong, devoted artist focused highly on concept art and illustrations ranging in the themes of fantasy and sci-fi.

I began using blender a few years ago. My adoration towards 3d arts started when I took my first glance at Half Life 2. I became an addict of 3d games, but I have more interests in making them, or even making movies! I want to tell stories, teach people, and Blender is my weapon of choice.

I got interested in game development since I played a car-race game in 1999 and I started creating cars and tracks. I tried a bit of web coding (PHP) but lately I've been focusing more on evolving my artistic skills, so I'm creating a lot of weapons in my free time. I also like to write stories and to think about RPG spells.
