Hello! I am Grey,! I do a lot of 2D character art and design and illustration.

Biography

I'm a digital illustrator and graphic designer based out from the USA east coast! I've got an eye in detail for character design, vibrant colors and strong themes behind my work. I love horror movies, being a food enthusiast, tabletop games and anything that's science fiction! Find me sitting on my deck watching the clouds pass by while creating another world onto my sketchbook. 

My inspiration derives from films, science fiction books, comics, horror, and fantasy video games. When I was about 10, I have seen Ponyo, a Studio Ghibli movie for the first time. The world and characters were a wonder to my mind. The colors, styles and world of magic and fantasy made me want to create my own. I grew more into this when watching more stop motion movies like Coraline, Wallace and Gromit and The Nightmare Before Christmas. 

However, my jump to going to college for art, was watching Dimension 20's "Fantasy High". The world building and characters not only got me into tabletop games, but illustrations in worldbuilding. This had me go to college where I went into graphic design and developed my illustrating skills. I owe my love and jump to art to a little fish girl who became friends with a boy from the world of Hayao Miyazaki.
