CHARACTER DESIGN






Exploration of character before it is found is loose and at times imperfect, but the point is to execute ideas as quickly as possible to get bad ideas out of the way first. Once the concepts that do not work are produced, sometimes parts of them help inform future designs. The process is to be repeated over and over until I settle for the final character design.

INTRODUCTION
As a Visual Development Artist I have many areas of aptitude: Color iterations, shape language, line quality and flow. I am affectionately nicknamed The Idea Generator by people I work with because I can come up with multiple solutions to one creative problem. I believe that I will surpass expectations of any studio I work with when they see the heart I have imbued into my illustration work. I aspire to work in video games or feature films as soon as I am given the opportunity.

Sketching is my favorite part of the creative process because I enjoy the gestural quality of quick, imperfect lines.
