A little bit about me

My name is Kendal Coskey. I am a 24-year-old, South African university student from Gauteng, South Africa.

I started out as a self-taught artist who is striving to constantly improve my own work, explore the world of creative freedom and make long lasting connections. If I were a show/ movie I would be Steven Universe. Chaotic fun and kind, but also full of shiny and pastel colours.

​

I am a passionate artist with the great opportunity to study animation and game design at the University of Wits, allowing for my art to transform from a hobby into a possible future career. Most of my time revolves around art and entertainment, whether watching a short tutorial on YouTube, sketching a new character design, creating fan art, admiring and studying art or playing video games. I am on a consistent journey to slowly improve my artistic skills and design knowledge and apply critical thinking and ingenuity.

 

I have experimented in various artistic domains within my degree such as 2D animation, 3D animation, digital art, 3D modelling and rigging and storytelling. I enjoy creating character design, character sheets and character performance the most and I hope to become an animator that can take part in big industry films or shows OR create game assets and design levels and entities for video games.

​

I love to play video games and watch animated tv shows, and envision myself creating impactful stories, adventures and journeys that can influence other viewers as they have with me. My art style draws a lot of inspiration from manga and anime, and I admire the amount of detail that goes into them.
