About Me
I'm a freshman Animation Major, from Galesburg Illinois. I've always had a great love of animation since I was little that never went away. From Disney to foreign animation, I love it all.
I've always had a dream of creating something in animation that would stick with someone as they go through life. Personally I wished that I would see more animated shows/movies that included a disabled person. Whenever someone like that appears in animation they are more often then not in a wheelchair. I want to see more variety, I want to create more of a variety. I've wanted to see a character that is like me, half deaf and struggling with things like spelling and such. I've always wanted a character like that, someone I could relate to. I want to create a character like that so maybe someone else can also relate to that character and find joy in them.
Featured Projects
Vigilantes
Just a little something inspired by the current superhero craze going on. Some of these characters were created as little sketches and then made into something more. Most of them are based off simple concepts like ink, cowboy, armor, etc.
The Botanist
This came out of a 'what if' moment. This is the character Claudette Morel from the game "Dead By Daylight". It's a case of what if the hero was the villain, so this is what I think she would look like if she was a killer instead of a survivor. Since most of her backstory and role in game revolves around plants, I figured that her overall design needed to be based around plants.
Mako Reference Sheet
This is a reference sheet of a merman character I dubbed Mako. He was based on a Mako shark, hence the name. He spend a good year and a half with no actual finished design, he went through many different faces, even loosing his ear fins once, before I finally settled on this look.
