About Me~

 

 Cardiff based, Amatuer artist. I am Seventeen years old going on eighteen soon enough. Currently I study BTEC level 3 Art and Design Extended Diploma at Cardiff and Vale College in Trowbridge. 

 

Aside from working in College I frequently create digital illustrations at home as well as the occasional basic GIF animation. I have also studied with the First Campus post 16 summer school on how to complete a 2D animation. This experience allowed me to decide to persue a career route into animation to which I am hoping to study in university. 

 

I am open for commisions for digital illustrations. I often frequent the many dungeons of social media (specifically tumblr) under the name ArsenicTyphoon ( I get asked if this user name is meant to be a salute to super hero names, alas it is not. It is just two random words I felt would work cool and funky together. But I suppose we can pretend I made it super hero sounding on purpose). 

 

I have many interests including of course drawing, reading (especially graphic novels, comics and manga.) and cosplaying. I am not affraid to say I am batty about geek culture and it gives me the drive I feel fuels my desire to explore different characters and subjects in my work. 

Personally I enjoy character work and character design.  I find it gives me a chance to breath life into a character seperating them into their own individual person. When in either comics or animation I personally believe a good character design is everything as it means the make or break with how well your audience connects with the personality and person you are portraying to them.
