Hello, I’m Yuna Song. I use she/her pronouns mostly but I’m fine being called by any pronouns. Born and lived in Japan my whole life but my nationality is Korean. I’m an IMGD BA student, with no particular focus but I prefer to keep 2D art my hobby and 3D work as a job. For most of my life, I’ve been doing 2D digital and traditional art, either in school or in my personal time. I wouldn’t say that I’m in any way a professional at game creation but I’ve dabbled on it enough to know the basics. However, I am terrible at coding, which I’m slowly trying to overcome. I’ve been practicing 3D art recently but I’m not good at it, so I wish to improve on that throughout my time here.
I like to write in my free time when I’m not drawing or playing games. Sometimes I just write whatever I want to write at the time or I translate some materials for my friends at times. I like listening to music but I’m tone-deaf so I don’t really do other than listen to someone else’s music.
In the sense of 2D art, I tend to look at other artist’s work on Twitter when I study. Some of my biggest inspirations are NoriZC, duoyuanjun, and BirdHatter. I also take inspiration from Monster Hunter World and Portal, especially their field designs, and Hollow Knight and Va11Ha11a for their UI designs. I used to imitate Disgeae 4’s art style when I was in elementary. Though I’m not invested in that game anymore, I think my art style takes some influence from that game.
I’m terrible at starting conversations myself but I’m always open to talking about stuff and interacting. I would like to talk to a lot of you guys throughout the course!
detailed- i really like your character design sheets and the way you do texturing in your illustrations
Gorgeous: The colors and style are super cool! I love Mr. Business Fish
Impressive: I love your art style. It draws you in so quickly and your use of lines and colors blows me away!
Striking – Your pieces have a lot of feeling behind them, they’re all very nice to look at!
striking – I love the character designs, they’re all super interesting and I love the amount of detail and character they have.
Quriky! I enjoy how you subvert the usually “cute” anime aesthetic by lowering saturation and incorporating dark themes. Also, having a SOLIDWORKS model (which looks really good) in an art portfolio is a super cool and quirky move.
cute – I love the fish businessman and the birds, they’re really cute! On another note, I agree with Xander on the style and really like the darker take on the anime aesthetic
detailed – the head 3D sculpt is super impressive!
Inventive: I love the business man with the fish head, he’s such a fun looking character.
Thought-provoking: Some of your more full illustrations seem like they have some sort of background or story to them, and it makes me very curious what the context for them is
Inventive, I really like how you use perspective!
Expressive – the facial expressions you’ve drawn are very good. they draw out emotions even if it is a subtle one.
striking: i absolutely adore your art style, and love how every piece you have shared tells a story in some way. incredible job!
Thought-provoking: besides your 2D work being very clean and impressive, several pieces manage to convey greater design or world building elements.
