I’m on a serious #oddworld kick right now, so I’m practicing #propdesign as part of a bigger fan project I have in mind. This is a clay drinking vessel shaped like an Elum, inspired by animal-shaped baby bottles from the Bronze Age #fanart #conceptart #visualdevelopment

Question for #animation mutuals: have any of you actually gotten a job by applying for one online, like through a studio’s career page? How do you land your gigs, and how do you make yourself stand out?

Better late than never! Most of my recent work is under NDA at the moment, but I thought I’d share the work I’m most proud of for #PortfolioDay.

I’m a 2D background artist with a knack for whimsical and spooky things, and I’ll be available for freelance or in-house work in late May!
