Hi, I’m Mary Halatova, a 2D animator focused on frame-by-frame character animation with an emphasis on acting and body mechanics. I’m building my portfolio for TV and streaming animation studios by studying dynamic acting, timing, and expressive performance so characters feel alive from pose to pose. I work in Clip Studio Paint and enjoy creating acting shots that show clear character intent—whether it’s colored performance with special effects, interactions with another character, or interaction with an object. I’m also continually improving through structured learning and self-directed practice, aiming to bring consistency, clarity, and strong facial/body animation to every project.…Hi, I’m Mary Halatova, a 2D animator focused on frame-by-frame character animation with an emphasis on acting and body mechanics.
