Hello, I'm Megan! I'm an aspiring artist, who has been drawing and creating characters since I was about eight years old. I received formal art education through high school and college, where I studied and majored in 2D Animation. My art style is expressive and cartoon-y, and my main sources of inspiration were Invader Zim, The Iron Giant, and Psychonauts! I'm proficient in creating frame-by-frame and rigged animation, storyboards, layouts, character design, mood boards, expression sheets, turnarounds, concept art, video editing, and illustration. My goal right now is to get out there in the world of art, and work on any sort of animated media! However, my biggest goal is to someday have my own characters and stories out there for people to enjoy :]

    uniE608 Demo Reel
    My demo reel, primarily showcasing work for 2D character animation. There is a mix of frame-by-frame and rigged work seen in this. Song - Spooky Baby (Tetrisphere)
    uniE608 Errands
    My senior film, created independently at MCAD. It shows a small look into a larger story I've been creating since September of 2021! I viewed this as the sort of 'culmination' of everything I had learned at MCAD, and thus wanted to take on every task independently. So outside of the audio work, everything else was done by me alone. It was certainly an undertaking, but I was able to fulfill everything I wanted to with this project, and did succeed in having it completed by the project deadline. All audio credits are given within the film.
    uniE621 Eras
    This was created for a final project in my Illustrated Notebook class at MCAD. The goal of this project was to reminisce and reflect, and show a breakdown of characters I've created throughout my life! This is shown in a loosely sequential order, with characters created in my childhood appearing towards the top of the image, and more current characters being at the bottom.
    uniE621 Modes
    A piece created for a comics class at MCAD. We had to choose one character design we had created, and portray them in different styles. The professor assigned these eight different 'modes' for us to follow, and provided examples for us to follow.
    uniE621 Expressions - Charles
    A whole variety of facial expressions for my character, Charles. Created for a comics assignment at MCAD.
    uniE621 Concept Art - Warner
    Concept art for my character, Warner, showing expressions and a full-body sketch. This was created for part of the preproduction process for my senior film.
    uniE621 Backgrounds - The Corpse Pile
    Another background for my senior film, this one being the result of one man's carnage in Hell. The shot begins at the bottom of the pile, and slowly sweeps up to the top- thus, it wasn't necessary to illustrate the lower right corner of the piece.
    uniE621 Interior - Goth Topic
    A page from a comic I created, showing a demon going on a shopping spree at the local Goth Topic. I love putting in all the little details and designs, the shirt wall was especially fun!
    uniE621 Expressions - Jamie
    An expression sheet for my character, Jamie. This was created for part of the preproduction process for my senior film.
    uniE621 Background - Home
    This background was used for the opening shot of my senior film, Errands. It shows the protagonist's place of residence, surrounded by a city.
    uniE621 Concept Art - Jones
    An array of poses and expressions for my character, Jones; created for a larger posing assignment at MCAD. He's very normal :)
    uniE621 Concept Art - Vel
    This piece was created for a character design class at MCAD. This was one of many drawings created for my final project, which focused on worldbuilding. Shown here is concept art for one of my project's protagonists, including expressions and full-body poses.
