Hi, my name is Austin and I am a 4th year student at the University of Washington Bothell. I am a casual digital artist specializing in Character Art and Illustration with over 7 years of technical and personal practice. I’ve had experience being a free lance artist, working by commission, since 2019.
I’ve grown up surrounded by art and creativity so it’s something that comes natural to me, I almost have to feed my creativity in order to function normally. When I was younger my main inspirations and how I got introduced to a lot of the things I like now were definitely through my siblings who are all massive gamers. I was exposed to sandbox genre games early on and It definitely instilled a mindset that I could create anything possible. I also had too much access to the internet growing up, which exposed me to various artstyles from different artists around the world. I was introduced to a large variety of art with video games and animation, and in all the art I’ve ever seen there’s a spirit that uses art and visuals to illustrate a different world you can immerse yourself in.
This is definitely my biggest motivator to create, I love creating stories and characters, all which have their own stories and experiences. This has led to me to share my art with others and I’ve made so many friends through art alone whether it be in person or online and that’s something I could never wanna stop doing!
