I hope you are doing well! My name is Tejas Hariharan. I am a 2d animator from Denver, Colorado. I have worked on artwork and animations for my own personal music project "Ynvariant" since 2024 and more recently, I participated as the "animation director" for a dubstep music video titled "Crown of Thorns" for the artist Dr. Ozi. My journey as an animator began as a personal declaration to my music that I would not only produce the sound but also the visuals, forcing me to expand my creative ability. As I learned more about drawing and animation, I wanted to learn from shows I admire such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Castlevania so I sought to study artists like Samuel Deats, Souta Yamazaki, Shinya Ohira, and Takuya Niinuma among others. This animation practice eventually led me to work on the aforementioned Dr. Ozi Music video where I storyboarded the entire video, directed several other artists, and completed my own cuts. My experience in animation software are the tools Clip Studio Paint and Procreate/Procreate Dreams but I am a quick study and am always willing to learn new softwares that best fit the production. I look forward to speaking with you about this project as I am always excited to draw.
