    paper Digital Illustration

    These are mu projects I did for my digital illustration class this semester and I am very happy with how they turned out. My first project was designing a anthropomorphic animal in a job and I created a Circus Bat then the other projects were developing concept for a story we wrote. It was amazing translating my writing into these illustration and I am very happy with how they turned out. And hopefully one day I am able to develop them into something bigger.




    paper 2D Animator

    Although for a a majority of my internship I was a background designer, I was ask to finish a import part of animation a month or so before the deadline. Unfortunately the previous person was not keeping up with the deadlines and was not communicating with the other animators to let them know they could not keep up with the work load. Since I had experience working with Adobe Animate and knowing I could manage the extra work load I took on the task. This animation did take more work considering it was rotoscoping but I was able to meet each deadline with both the animation and background work.

    paper Background Designer

    For my internship. which was creating a short animation for a nonprofit, I was mainly designated to create the backgrounds. I was the main one in charge for the background design for the project. We would go over the idea for the park grounds one example being a park at sunrise and would then sketch the idea based on the information I was given. Usually we went through two or three rounds of feedback before we settled on the final background.
