My name is RJ Levytsky, I am a combo illustrator and 2D animation graduate from Pratt Institute. I’m keen to timing and storytelling, and I’m particularly enchanted by compelling characters and their interactions. I’ve dabbled in children’s book illustration and I consider expressive character acting one of my greatest strengths both on a static canvas and in motion. I’m a fan of everything magical, funny, and cute and I think I can owe that to growing up playing a lot of video games and entering these magical worlds to create my own stories as a player. As someone who grew up with animals (4 cats and 3 mice right now!), it’s impossible to separate charming animal characters from my work.
