WHO IS DEFINNIGEON?


i am a ( mostly ) self taught artist who was born and raised in wisconsin. i was born fully blind in one of my eyes, and experience macular degeneration that gets increasingly worse by the year. however, i don't let that stop me from my passion: creation.

i have been making art since as far back as i can remember. at first, i was interested in various types of media and work made by other people, but slowly i molded my own style and way of storytelling. almost everything i draw is completely original, especially the characters. i have plenty of individual characters I've made, but have the habit of solely focusing on only one, thus most of my portfolio consists of him.

a lot of my inspiration comes from music, as well as myself and events that have happened in my life. every one of my pieces and characters has a little bit of me inside of them.

i spent one and a half years at the minneapolis college of art and design before deciding to leave. although some of the classes were very helpful, i felt that a majority of my time spent there was being wasted. from then on, i decided to go completely freelance with both my learning and work. as someone who is disabled, a traditional work environment usually doesn't suit my needs, and i have been having an easier time working one-on-one with clients.


ANIMATIONS



this is a large live2D cubism rig i have been working on. it is not yet finished, but by the time it is complete, i hope to have a full turnaround rig of the character made entirely out of a live2D rig



3D WORK


i've only recently begun working with 3D, so i don't have many examples to work with. hopefully, in the future i will be able to fully rig and animate models from scratch
