Howdy, I\u2019m Sydney Gardner, I am from New York City, and I am a senior IMGD BA major with a concentration in Tech Art and a minor in Computer Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been a very artsy and creative person and have been making things for as long as I can remember. I\u2019ve done a fair share of traditional art and drawing as well as digital work. I\u2019ve always been a big animation nerd and have had a lot of fun playing around with different animation programs and tools. I\u2019m excited to learn more about art production in games and how to efficiently develop it, as these skills will apply to many of the projects I see myself doing in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of the digital art sphere I\u2019ve tried my hand at a variety of crafts such as sewing, embroidery, sculpture, needle felting, woodburning, stamp carving, and jewelry making. I like to bounce around from project to project, and crafting has honestly been one of the things keeping me sane at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned before I absolutely love animation and some of my favorite shows and movies are Avatar the Last Airbender, Hilda, Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, <\/em>and Lilo & Stitch<\/em>. As for games, some of my all-time favorites are Undertale, Hades, A Short Hike, Death’s Door, <\/em>and Celeste<\/em>. Each of those titles have great stories to tell, and on top of that they’ve all got either low-poly 3D or pixel art (Hades <\/em>is kind an exception to that statement but roll with it) and I just think those art styles are ~neat~. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is some of my work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
