Animation, Film & Television

Both. I am open to freelance contracts and to in-studio roles, remote or on site. I am currently open to in-house work in Canada, and remote work around the globe.

Visual development and design: characters, props, locations, colour, and mood. Accommodations can be made medium and style as well. I do not have experience as an animator, but have done research into the pipeline to understand it's restrictions and methods.

Notes and revisions are always very expectant for concept and design work, making it a collaboration between visionary/writer and artist, as well as any other team members. I send many updates during the work's progress, and usually anything can be changed at any point. Visual reference material for the project is also greatly appreciated, and typically works the best for clearest communication. With that being said, revisions can extend the timeline of a project, especially with the nature of remote communication. For freelance roles, we can discuss the amount of revisions into the commission. There is no limit towards them, but excessive requests for revisions may result in requiring the deadline to be extended. A forewarning will be provided if that's the case, though this is rare and I can usually handle many changes at once. Additionally, if an update/revision on a project goes for 48 business hours without a response, that can also result 1 additional day being added for every 24 hours after that point.

Any work that is no longer an NDA can be sent, and is usually available to preview on my website. I can also discuss my time with other productions and projects further with you.

I work digitally, mainly in Clip Studio Paint, and I can deliver layered files that open cleanly in Photoshop. If your pipeline needs something specific, ask, and I will give you an honest answer about whether I can fit it. I'm also open to working other programs such as the Adobe Creative Cloud if required as I have previous experience with it, it's just not a program I'm always subscribed too.

It depends on what's being asked, and the project. Usually, it's the concepting and rough stage that actually takes the most time, along with revisions. The final deliverable is more straightforward. For character/prop designs, promotional artwork, and visual development work is at a standard of 2 weeks. Background illustrations can usually be done faster so long as there is pre-existing design material from storyboards or concept art, typically within 1 week. However, 2 weeks is recommended regardless, and deliverables are usually available before the deadline itself. Development work with in-studio is typically more adaptive, and I can also work to other schedules depending on the production pipeline as well. Have a tight deadline for your project? Need something done fast yet still be of high-quality? An emergency of a missing asset or a sudden revision? I can work with that too. The animation world is fast-paced and competitive, I can keep up.
