LCBrown-Ojeda

My name's Laura Brown-Ojeda, but I prefer to be called by my nickname Lali.

I studied Media Arts and Animation at the Art Institute and I specialize in Character Design,2D animation, and Illustration! That being said I was taught 3D modeling and animation. I haven't worked in the animation industry as of yet but I'm working my way into the field. I graduated with my Bachelors in December 17, 2012.

As of yet, I'm focusing in getting into freelancing and commissions as a full time gig, at least until I can get into a studio. I can draw and animate in many different styles but as most artist, I do have a style that is all my own. What is my style? Well that's a little hard to describe but here it goes nothing!

My style is celebrating all the different and unique things that make us all special, beautiful even. Race, color, body type, fashion, all those crazy shapes and sizes of our features that make us who we are. I try my best to celebrate everything through my character designs and interpretation of characters that aren't mine. I mean, if Marik from Yugioh is suppose to be Egyptian, then he should look Egyptian (not look like everyone else but darker.) That's my thing, that's my style.

Also I'm more of a sketch artist then a painter, I envy those who can paint gorgeous things digitally and traditionally, I've never really grasped that ability but I'm still practicing. My poison of choice is Photoshop, I do the best I can with it!

I'm also working on a comic series that I hope catches on called Kinesis. I'll be selling it at indyplanet.com and at various conventions, hopefully the first issue will be done by November but realistically speaking, it wont be until Winter 2014 or Spring 2014.

Not sure what else to add…I'm Puerto Rican, a girl, a little gothic, a little not, I love Rock music, fantasy genre things and Tea...
