Andrii "Nizrok" Korzinkin (@korzinkin_3d) died while performing a combat mission in the struggle for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. A talented animator, incredible person and real hero. Rest in peace, friend. We all miss you.

Andrii was known for his work at @4AGames on @MetroVideoGame. There he created a huge number of top-quality animations.

Here is a reel of just a few of them:

Andrii was inspired by the work of @corybarlog. He was impressed by the quality of direction and cinematography of #GodofWar.

But also he liked the path of Cory Barlog itself, as he was also an animator at the beginning of his professional journey.

That is why, in addition to advancing his abilities as an animator, Andrii expanded other skills necessary in game development (design and coding). To one day create the project of his dreams. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.

Next will be quotes of Andrii's friends and colleagues about him.

"He was a cool person, good man with a sense of humor, and an animator of the highest class, which in Ukraine can be counted on the fingers. Oh, what kind of things he created! And his oblique goal kick in table football was impossible to catch. He would still create and create"

"It's sad and painful to realize that when I visit the 4A gang again, I won't be greeted with a smile and hug from Andrii. I want to deceive myself into thinking that he just went somewhere overseas to make cool animations for Activision or Naughty Dog"

"Andrii was a wonderful person and an extraordinary professional. This is not a formality, but the pure truth. I was always impressed by his politeness and kindness. Eternal memory to the Hero!"

"He constantly faced new challenges and tried to overcome them. Andrii worked on himself and his skill to become better as an animator, inspiring people around him"
