"The Jungle" is one of my first experiments using keyframes from 2023. Originally just an illustration, I decided to take it a step further and attempt to make it feel more "alive," pun intended, by making certain elements move. I was successful and even managed to loop it perfectly.
This piece is called "All Nighters." It's based on the events that went down and the feelings I experienced pulling, not only my first, but almost three all nighters in a single week. I formatted this one to fit on a phone, and it has served me well as a lockscreen.
The final illustration of my recent commission, "The Scorpion and The Wolf," features an inhuman being light, shapes, colors, and movement. Given the commission criteria requiring the illustration be black and white, I attempted to make it move instead.
Another recent illustration for, "The Scorpion and The Wolf," but this is a speed paint of my process of drawing the illustration.
Bio
My creative journey took me many places in throughout my childhood, mostly because my father was in the military, and we moved around a lot. Of all the things changing around and about me, the one thing I held onto was my love for art. In 5th grade, I discovered YouTube as well as synced animated videos called lineart maps. This fascination never left me for a long time, and I never forgot about what I found. Looking back, this is partially what inspired me to take a chance and change my major to Motion Design during my time at Savannah College of Art and Design. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue the dream that inspired me as a kid; I want to animate music videos and title sequences.
