Anton KhusnutdinovArtist, programmer, and writer
In 2018, he created an unusual children’s book about his character Knox. Anton dreams our children will have their Ukrainian hero, like Mickey Mouse or Spider-Man.
The illustrations were made in 3D, and augmented reality technology was also used: a unique app turns the drawings into animation, and the characters begin to “speak” with the voices of voice actors. In 2021, the story continued in a comic book, and today our winner plans to create a pilot series of Knox cartoons.
Currently, Anton is focused on developing his hero’s universe; he wants to tell his story simultaneously in different media: books, games, and animation. The ultimate goal of the idea is to create a competitive and exciting product that will use various technologies to achieve unexpected results. Anton Khusnutdinov expects that Knox may become the face of popular Ukrainian culture in the future. We hope that our grant will make Anton’s dreams come true!
