CHARACTER DESIGN, 3D MODEL, 2D ANIMATION, FANTASY, ART DESIGNER, DESIGN FURRY REF SHEET, 3D ART

I have a background in Fine Arts and Applied Arts at the university of Nsukka where I acquired some solid traditional art skills and then some awesome digital.

I stand out because I:

2D/3D Art Skills: Proficiency with 2D and 3D Art including Anime, Cartoons, and Complex Pen & Ink / Freehand Digital Drawing.

In-depth Ref Sheet Generation: Knows and understands character anatomy, layout and multi-angle reference sheets specifically for creators and roleplay communities.

DISMO - CUSTOM FURSONA REFERENCE SHEET WITH EXPANDED POSES & EXPRESSIONS

I had the best experience working for this client! They initially came in with a great concept for their new fursona featuring a standard front and back view. As a Character Design specialist, I was thrilled to work with them and suggest they add in a dynamic side pose to really make the design come to life and a custom action pose which the client was excited about. In order to round the reference sheet, I added two character expressiveness poses, a smiley one and a playful one, to show the character's individuality. Helping them create a visionary reference sheet was a great feeling. This was an all-enjoyable project and the client was very happy with the finished work and gave me wonderful feedback.

Comprehensive Furry Sketch Reference Sheet

I created an extensive reference sheet with a full front, back, side to provide the ultimate utility to their design. I didn't stop there though. This project was a FUN one to do! I was contacted by the client who had an idea for their brand new fursona and I took them from the first rough idea all the way to creating a detailed and clean sketch fursona. The client was totally enamored of the sketches' portrayal of their character's spirit and even gave the illustrator a generous tip! It's always fulfilling to see it come together creatively with another person this well

COMPREHENSIVE FURSONA SKETCH REFERENCE SHEET & EXPRESSION PACK

This project was a lot of fun to put together! I was hired by the client to create their brand-new fursona and did the whole process starting from a basic idea to a very detailed and clean sketch. To provide them with the ultimate design utility, I created a complete reference sheet, with a full front, back, side, and even a custom design pose for them. But we weren't satisfied with that – I even added a smiley headshot and a cute headshot to really capture the character's lively personality in the sketch phase! The client was blown away by the sketches capturing the essence of her character and extended their appreciation with a generous tip! When creative collaboration seems to take place, it is always a rewarding experience.
