Howdy everyone!

My name is Hannah Belan – feel free to call me Shiib since there are three of us Hannahs in this class alone- and I\u2019m from here in Worcester County, down by the border of Connecticut \ud83d\ude42 This year I aim to buff out my 3D modeling work and make it more acceptable to show in my portfolio as well as continue with the current development of my 2D digital artwork. In the future I would like to find a job working on creating 3D models, however I think I could find happiness as long as I am in a creative field. Artistically, in recent years at least, I tend to find myself gravitating towards digital creation methods, but I started out and still find relaxation in traditional arts such as watercoloring, sketching, pottery, and oil painting. In my free-time I like to watercolor and can often be found around campus doing it (I\u2019d love it if you joined in if you spot me and am totally open to sharing my resources)! When it comes to programming I still think I need a lot of work before I can develop anything worthwhile, but I am excited to learn and grow.

When it comes to any recent work I am proud of there is only one major project that I\u2019ve been continuously developing that feels worthwhile enough to share. I have a creative universe with 12 characters – one for each month – whose personalities correlate to my seasonal affective disorder and how that particular point in the year makes me feel. It\u2019s been 8 years since I created the first character of this world and overall it\u2019s been a very fun journey for me to experience more, developing the characters and the physical world itself as I grow. While it may not be a single piece of artwork that I have to share, there is a lot that this world has done to help me better myself as an artist as well as express myself in a productive manner.

I\u2019m so excited to see what you all create and work with you this term!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
