ABOUT ME

varied hobbyist artist | she | 

college graduate | 日本語OK 

I'm aoi! But, many of my close friends call me Jill. I love drawing, making music (playing the piano/guitar/ukulele/vocals sometimes), and occasionally voice-acting! I've always taken an interest in art, and seeing all of the magic that comes with it is incredibly astounding and inspiring. I started off drawing the PowerPuff Girls a lot as a kid, then I eventually drew Spongebob. Disney was another big inspiration for me and much later I got into Sonic the Hedgehog where I got to meet and collaborate with so many other talented/creative individuals.  

​

I currently use a Wacom Intuos Tablet (Small) and Paint Tool SAI. Upon my recent studies, I've began using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk Maya, and Autodesk Mudbox for newer content. I've also worked with Colors! 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, Adobe Photoshop CS2, and Tayasui Sketches on the Apple iPad in the past. I also have some experience in drawing with markers, graphite pencils, and Prismacolor coloring pencils. I currently use Adobe Creative Cloud and Krita for work.

I've done a lot of commission work, collaborative work throughout the Sonic the Hedgehog community, and fanzine work for an ALS charity fanzine dedicated to the late, great Stephen Hillenburg.
