食色视频

Since enrolling in elementary school, I have always been interested in creating/developing works of art. Art has always been the one thing, besides my family, that has brought me peace on this earth. In being that, I sought to continue to pursue digital animation at 食色视频. From finger paintings to digital illustrations, my abilities in conjuring works have surely enhanced over time.

Aware of the challenges to come my way, I still sought to make myself stand out from the proposed opposition. My colleagues, but also close friends within the department. By taking inspiration from Sushio, Aaron Mcgruder, and Atsushi 艑kubo, I developed an art style that worked perfectly for me and inspired others to formulate their own style.

After four years, I can say it was worth pursuing regardless of what other people believed. I am proud of the works I have created thus far and will continue to use the knowledge I have obtained within the industry.

My name is Samantha Crable, and I am a graduate of 食色视频 with a BFA in Digital Animation. As an artist, I like to refer to myself as a 鈥済eneralist,鈥� meaning I possess skills in all parts of art that relate to the animation pipeline. More specifically, I find my passion lies mostly in doing character design and illustrations. My favorite genre in any media is fantasy, so that is an element I tend to try and include in my work. Most of what I was brought up with, whether it be Tolkien鈥檚 Middle Earth, action-adventure video games such as The Legend of Zelda, and various animated films, have influenced my style in one way or another. I enjoy illustrations that tell a story and/or engage with the audience, as if the viewer of any given piece I create is a part of the scene. I look forward to what creativity and fun I can bring to the industry and to all fellow art-appreciators, as well as look forward to what I can keep learning along the way.

I am an Atlanta based artist with an extensive background in traditional art and I work to bring that quality into my digital portfolio. I am driven to find a career in either background design, concept art or character design. I love visual storytelling through my illustrations, from large compositions to the tiniest detail, this has always been my goal. 

I have experience working both freelance and in team environments, having done commission work for pet portraits, portraiture, and two illustrated children鈥檚 books of the Ants and the Machine Series by Michael Thomas. My team experience has been in designing, painting and sculpting for Woodstock Market鈥檚 Christmas display windows, where I and a team of artists worked together on a tight deadline to sculpt and paint a window display entirely out of foam. These opportunities, which prioritize deadlines and time management skills, are environments that I thrive in. 

It is my goal to continue to learn and grow in team environments where we can bring stories to life. 

I am a motion designer and illustrator based in North Georgia. I am inspired by dreamy pastel color palettes and love working with vectors. Traditional media is also essential to me. Whether it be oil , acrylic, or pencil, I am always exploring new ways to translate my current interests.

My artwork combines elements from both eastern anime and western cartoons as those are things I loved in media growing up. It also puts a lot of focus on the joys of finding oneself and acceptance for individuality. Growing up in a black household I also try to use my art as a way to contribute to opening the door more for black representation in media so that the children these works are aimed towards can see themselves in it. This is why my style is more cartoony. Each project I try to show off these elements to the best of my abilities and as creatively as possible. 

All my childhood I was captivated by the world of animation and art in its many forms. I always had a passion for art but never guessed I would graduate with a degree in digital animation. My passion for character design and storytelling have been a major influence on the art I make and wish to share with the world. The power animations have to tell meaningful stories and teach life lessons that stick in the hearts of millions of all ages has been a motivation to create stories of my own. 

Character design has always been a defining feature of where most of my inspiration in art comes from. I love creature unique and interesting characters and building the world around them to create interesting stories that can captivate those of all backgrounds. The characters I鈥檝e designed for my future film belong to a fantastic world where they must overcome their pasts and work toward a better future. Kidd the cursed boy and Killian the dragon prince come together to save their world`s from an evil king while helping one another overcome their pasts of connected grief and accepting unexpected changes.
