Hi my name is Ash, my brand as business is known as Familiar Shade. You can view my showreel and portfolio on my website: familiarshade.com As a passionate freelance illustrator with a specialty in animation and design, my diverse background in Animation has honed my skills in 3D modelling, animation, and digital art. With a strong foundation in anatomy from both academic study and self-driven exploration, I excel at creating dynamic characters that emphasise movement and personality. My expertise isn't limited to human forms; I am fond of researching and drawing animals and mythological creatures. Whilst at university for Animation, I was able to take on modules in motion graphics, 2D animation, 3D animation and character modelling. Previously I have had both digital and physical commissioned art pieces, created posters for PIAS, Logos and Labels for local companies, illustrations for comics. I have a large variety of styles I like to work with and I'm committed to finding and perfecting the ideal art style for your project.
