Nix Newton
Illustrator and Character Artist
I aspire towards a career in narrative-led and character illustration. My work during university has largely centred on conveying emotion and personality, apparent in my approach to illustrating our pitch for Trails: Companion World. Working on this particular project has been significant to me in familiarising myself with collaborative design processes and has been exciting to bring a video game concept to life through visuals. I enjoy producing colourful and lively illustrations and often use a mixture of analogue and digital processes in creating my artwork.
My particular skills lie within character art and pre-production art; my projects within my final year at the university have involved character design, storyboarding a music video, video game concepts as well as producing a series of illustrations examining representation within drag culture.
The linked videos are animated stings detailing features of Trails: Companion World, produced collaboratively by our group. Once we decided what information the clips needed to convey, I worked on storyboarding the animations and producing some of the animation assets.
