Hello, I'm AJ!
I'm Austin, but you can call me AJ, a graduate from Oakfields College and aiming to take my first steps in the industry. My wish is to specialise as an illustrator and character designer in the media of games, film, novels, promotional material, merch or anything similar. I apply my skills as an animator and digital painter in my work.
I am also skilled as a 3D generalist, with my strengths primarily oriented towards animation and modelling.
I find my passion and adore the beauty of presentation and storytelling in art across the anime and cartoon styles!
