Biography
Hey ho! My name is VIKA, known as ZIPAVIKA, a freelance animator, illustrator and character designer (basically a 2D generalist) moving in the fields of dark fantasy with love for nature and the unusual and I would love to work on big projects/studios in the field of animation and games. I'm capable of working in different styles even if my portfolio seems to show otherwise, because it's just different shapes and colors to me. Currently I'm working on several more personal projects to hone my skills.
