Animation has always been a part of every child’s life. From Disney to Nickelodeon, most everyone loves their fair share of animated cartoons and/or movies. My interest in animation was sparked while watching Naomi Tekuchi’s Sailor Moon a late afternoon after school. The animation was bright, exciting, and meaningful, rather than it being a normal animated show used to keep children entertained for a half hour. I discovered later on that that particular genre of animation was from Japan and called anime. I started to view more anime as time went on and became inspired by the works of Yoshitaka Amano (Vampire Hunter D, Final Fantasy), Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma ?, Maison Ikkoku, Inu Yasha), Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball), Tetsuya Nomura (Final Fantasy), and Hayao Miyazaki (Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away). Their styles were distinctive and did not run together like so many of the other anime and manga (Japanese Comic Book) artists. This is why I strived to develop my own unique style. I want to further develop original characters and animated series and eventually own a production company. I want to bring smile to faces young and old with my works. My inspiration comes from the anime type of animation because so much emotion can be conveyed. A staple in Japanese animation is that the characters have such large eyes. A person’s eyes are usually the center of conveying emotions without words. Because of this, I’ve incorporated that factor into my own drawings. A quote from a popular anime called Pilot Candidate states, “For those with wings, fly to your dreams…” I am determined to accomplish my goals and dreams because I believe my skill, tenacity, and faith are those wings on which I will fly to new heights in a successful career in animation.
