My name is Rita O-Young and I'm a first year transfer student in the Animation/Illustration department at SJSU. I'm from Sonoma County and I attended Santa Rosa Junior College for two years after high school before transferring here. My background is in traditional fine arts, I've done a little bit of 3D modeling and animation before, and I'm just now learning to digitally paint. I'm not super experienced with physics, but I did take the subject in high school. Science isn't my strongest subject but I still enjoy learning about it. I'm crazy about traveling and would absolutely love to live in Europe or Asia for a few years. I also love animals, video games, long boarding, and Asian food. My favorite games are Dark Souls III, War Frame, Dying Light, and I'm super stoked to buy For Honor. My dream after this program would be to work as a VisDev or Concept Artist on games, preferably something realistic and with super good quality stories and content (think The Last of Us or Dying Light). We'll see what happens! Stoked to see where this program takes us and to learn something new in this class!
This is a sketch from last semester I did of a leopard using a pencil, copics, and microns.
Here is a digital portrait I painted last semester, I'm slowly getting the hang of how Photoshop works.
This is my personality walk from Ani28 last fall (2016).
