About Diamond
I have a passion for creating characters and visualizing them in action! Be it comic panels, video cartoons or video games, I have a strong drive to be a visual storyteller.
I primarily use a method of digitized, hand-drawn technique with Toon Boom Harmony, but am capable of using Adobe Animate as well. I also use After Effects for motion graphics animation and compositing. For digital paintings, I use Photoshop, and for graphic design art I use Illustrator. I am experimenting with: - Krita for digital painting and graphic design (as vector art) - HitFilm Express for motion graphics animation, compositing and video editing - Blender for 3D modelling, and - Unity and Unreal Engine for game creation I have been an animator and web producer for the Emmy Award-winning show Articulate with Jim Cotter, where I produced a seven-episode series, co-developed a promotional package for Season 3 of the show, and supplied multimedia content for the show's internet presence. Independently, I've produced two animated shorts, including the award-winning title "The Gecko with a Reed." I hope to make animation production a full-time job while branching into the graphic novel and video game industry. I am a graduate from the Art Institute of Philadelphia with a Bachelor of Science degree in Media Arts and Animation. I reside in Philadelphia, PA. |
