Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m from Marlboro, New Jersey.

I first started getting serious about creating art in 4th grade, when my friends asked me to design fakemon for a game that we never got around to making. Since then, I’ve grown and developed much as an artist. Art turned into a fun creative outlet and eventually into something I could see myself doing for a living.

I started out as a traditional artist, but, by 5th grade, I was already finding myself spending hours creating, what I thought at the time, were actual masterpieces. Since then, I have realized that they were not, in fact, masterpieces. I still dabble with traditional artwork, but most of my artistic energy is put into 2D digital art. I have made some 3D models, but I am definitely lacking experience. I’d love to improve my skills in 3D with every step of the process (modeling, texturing, rigging, etc.). Other than 2D and 3D art, I also enjoy singing and creative writing, occasionally.

I find many different pieces of media incredibly inspiring artistically. Some examples are Splatoon, Omori, Undertale, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Monster Prom, A Little to the Left, Bee and PuppyCat, and Soul Eater.

I like to play and draw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
