Who Am I?

Hey, I'm Natiq Aghayev - though most people online know me as Defonten. I’ve been in the CG Industry for over 20 years, working as an Art Director, Concept Artist, and Animator. Over the years, I’ve done a bit of everything - from Music Videos and TV ads to Game Art, Branding, and Print Design.

One of the key highlights of my professional career is my work on the Space Engineers franchise – a game about creativity and exploration in outer space, which I art-led through its successful release in 2019, including leading the art for its post-launch DLCs. For Space Engineers 2 game, I was responsible for creating the Verdure and Kemik planets for the major Planets Update released on December 1st, 2025. My role covered creating the core terrain-building pipelines, from initial heightmap layout and biome design up to the final polish state - where I had a chance to work  side by side with fantastic team of artists from Keen Software House.

All of this experience helps me bring practical, real-world insight into my courses and workshops. Whether you're just starting out or aiming higher in your 3D career, I’m here to help you grow - without fluff, and with a clear plan.

Jakub I - Prague, 3D Artist

Natiq’s lessons completely changed the way I approach Environment Art and World Creator specifically. I like his relaxed and enthusiastic style of teaching - it really motivates and makes even complex things look simple. Easily one of the best mentors I’ve had!

Vanessa H - Prague, Student

I really appreciated how structured and practical Natiq’s teaching style is. No fluff, no confusion - just real workflows that work. Every session gave me something I could apply immediately - which for me was very important. Thanks to him, I finally have a portfolio piece I’m proud of!

Tomas D - Prague, Student

Natiq is incredibly supportive and patient. When I struggled with Shape Layers, he always took time to explain things in a simple, understandable way. His enthusiasm for CG is contagious, and it pushed me to experiment more. I learned more in his course than in months of trying to figure things out on my own.
