Heya. My name is Charlie D. though I've been going by 1rregularCharlie online for many years. I've worked in many different studios big and small throughout my decade as a professional animator. I have worked as a Character animator for Brum the Animated Series; a general animator for Nessy Learning on a production aimed at pre-schoolers and young children and a generalist animator for Lucid Graphics, a high pressure work environment. I've worked as sole animator on a short animated kickstarter video called Monster Peppers.

Most recently I worked at Fumi Games as a contract 2D Rough Animator working on character animations for their in development game Mouse: PI for Hire. In my previous independent projects I have developed practical experience in all stages of the animation process, most notably during the production of my own animated series 100 Worlds Away which included creating my own storyboards, animatics etc etc. I’ve also completed several courses to further my skill set including a course on rigging in Toonboom led by Dan Keeble of Sun and Moon Studio.
