Hi! My name is Caroline, but most people call me Carrie. I’m a digital artist and a senior pursuing a BA in IMGD (no concentration). I switched from CS to IMGD in my junior year. I’m from Franklin, Massachusetts.
Art is not only a hobby for me, but a way of making money as well. I do commission work, creating custom artwork for people. My goals are to be a part of a studio or larger project and have my art and personal style become very appealing to employers and other digital artists. I want to create a style that is very unique while still embodying what I enjoy when making artwork.
I am most experienced with digital art, but I am branching out into 3D character art now. I would like to have a job in character creation, whether that be creating 3D character art, creating concept art, or helping other artists’ visions come to life. I have also been working on creating more craft-focused art. I have recently been working with watercolor painting, as well as marker illustrations. I am also learning how to paint digitally.
I’m interested in learning how to craft my own particular style. As of now, I feel like my style is constantly changing and I am always losing interest in whatever style I’ve been using. I hope to get better at digital painting, so I look at a lot of other people’s work and learn from their paintings. I have a lot of trouble with color theory. I am also working on my 3D modeling skills and developing a style for that, which I think may be easier for me than creating a personal 2D art style. I am currently working on an MQP project involving creating models of people of color that will be rigged and published online for educational purposes.
I do not have much experience in making games. I have made a few for class, but nothing outside of class. I made the art for a dating simulator game last year and a small, interactive visual novel last term. I am going to be working on a game this term for my design class.
I am very artistically inspired by the mobile game Identity V. I love the Tim Burton-inspired art style. The Survivor characters in the game are modeled in a Coraline-esque style with button eyes and small, scrawny stature, while the Hunter characters look more monstrous and realistic. All of the characters are very cute while still retaining their serious and threatening demeanors. All characters, Survivor or Hunter, are very unique in their designs as well as their different skins. The art is generally very eye-catching and inspiring to me. I am also very inspired by the 1986 My Little Pony ‘n Friends series, particularly the curly, thick hair and extremely visually stimulating colors that each pony has.
I look forward to learning more about creating games and strengthening my artistic skills in this class!

So sparkly and colourful! I don’t think you struggle with colour theory at all! Your art is so tasty, I love looking at it.
Badge: Gorgeous
Your illustrations are really vibrant and pretty. Your art journal is also super cool and a really interesting medium.
Badge: Cute
I really like your art in general, but your MLP drawings in particular really stood out to me! You did a wonderful job of evoking the “old” style MLP vibe in a really pretty way, and the colors your use are wonderful. I’m honestly tempted to commission you myself in the future if you’re comfortable with that haha

Everything about your art POPS in the best possible way, from your smart use of vibrant colors to your thick confident outlines. Really love how you render all your characters and also how you tend to draw hair. It all looks real great!
Your art journal too is also a really interesting thought provoking medium.
Badge: Impressive
Your artwork is so nice to look at and I like how the pieces you decided to include here demonstrate different styles
Badge: Colorful
I love how colorful your illustrations are and your painting style as well. It’s also super unique and adorable.
Badge Given: Familiar
The art journal entries are very nice to look at and have a very familiar feeling to something in Alice in Wonderland, maybe that is why it’s impressive.
I think I will go with cute since the characters have a style (big eyes and/or large hair) which makes them seem adorable.
Cute!
Your work is all super adorable! It is also very polished and refined however which makes me feel like I am looking at a real professional portfolio.

I really like the way you use color in your pieces! Each one pops with its own vibrancy and you’ve chosen nice complements for the background colors as well which helps to frame the characters and set the mood of each piece.
Cute
All of your character drawings are super cute! I love the art style you draw them in!
Badge: Colorful
Your characters all have something in common: vibrant coloring. Each piece of art has very bright colors that are soft on the eye and is pleasing to look at.
Colorful！
I like your choice of color very much. This moderately saturated color can often make the audience feel a different kind of peace. I like the girl who holds the insect net best. Her outfit is very elegant, and at the same time it is very delicate with the handbook, and has a touch of playfulness.
Colourful
The colours you use come out beautifully and it’s one of the first things I notice when looking at your stuff! It’s all also so cute, great job!!
