About

Hi, I’m Sile Snedden, a character designer and illustrator based in Gisborne, New Zealand.
Screen arts and illustration has always been my passion. I’ve been telling stories through visual media since I was a child and have pursued that as a part of my career and hobby.
I studied for 3 years in film but adapted what I made to include as much concept art and animation as possible.
For my final year I completed a stop motion animation named “Market Day”.
Physical art and puppet making is another medium that inspires me. For Market Day I hand made 3 unique, needle felted puppets and a world for them to live in.
That world remains to be a world building project of mine that I hope to tell more stories from in the future…

An illustration from my world building project featuring a priest of the Lochwulf species. He prays to the one of the 2 moons of this world, the Blood Moon. As well as the other 8 saints this culture has come to look upon for guidance. This priest isn’t to be trusted though. Ulterior motives steer his worship illustrator
