ABOUT ME

My name is Farone; multimedia artist based in Leeds and sometimes London.Characters are my forte; designing, animating and writing them. I mostly excel in the comedy genre, but have a desire for drama and romance stories too.Besides characters, worldbuilding is my nxt preferred area of craft. Crafting massive fantastical worlds and dimensions, and fussing over the small details of settings not too dissimilar from our own world.I have a strong passion for music, and love to marry the two mediums of music and animation to create a sensory feast. The louder, the better.While I typically work solo, I enjoy collaberating with others, and weather I'm in a postion of leadership or another one of the crew, I can guarantee my best 100% of the time.

TOOLS

For illustrations I am most proficient with Clip Studio Paint.For animtions I use Toon Boom Harmony.I edit my animations in Vegas Pro.For game development I have used Ren'Py and RPG Maker MV.

Rendered Illustrations

Illustrated pieces, cherrypicked from my socials. A mix of original art, fan-art and commissions.
