I am working towards becoming
an animator, though there isn't a whole lot I wouldn't be
interested in doing that ties into art in some way - illustration,
comics, concept art, games, Flash animation, backgrounds,
prop design and construction, creature shop work, etc.
As an artist, I am flexible and capable of working in
different styles and mediums as needed. I can work well
both in groups as well as independantly. I work hard,
see things to their end and make sure that what I do is
the best that I am capable of. I am a responsible, conscientious
of keeping to deadlines.
Through the Tradigital Animation program, I've learned
the basics of programs such as Adobe Premiere, and Adobe
After Effects. I have some knowledge of Flash and I work with
Adobe Photoshop on a regular basis. I also have some training in Maya.
