All About Me
I began drawing when I was only 2 years old. Back then, it was just a mix of Crayola colors and creative juices, but in a few years I started drawing every day. I kept drawing all the time, mostly sketching crazy ideas from my head, but eventually I found myself creating more complex projects with acrylics, ink, and charcoals. Then a few years ago I discovered 3D graphics, and I've been exploring the digital art world ever since. Around this time I was also making home movies with my siblings, and soon grew a passion for filmmaking.
As an Open Source enthusiast, I am an active contributor to a number of volunteer projects, including being an editor for BlenderNation.com, the central news site for all things Blender related; promotional and 3D-shading for the Morevna Project, the first full-length open source anime film project; 3D modeling and animation for the "Grey Justice: Puncher of Men" web series; teaching Blender classes at Blenducation.org, a free webinar service and tutorial hub for learning Blender; and 3D-modeling for the open source non-profit orginiazation, FreezingMoon, on their online/RTS game "Ancient Beast."
Currently I am pursuing foundational college studies from home and looking for the right university to attend. I am open to a future in digital animation, filmmaking, illustration, acting, and singing - so I have a lot of options!
I am always looking to expand my portfolio and my skillset, so if you would like to commission me to work on your project, give me a shout! I am efficient and seek the highest level of perfection in my work.
