Meet M0chiiri
Hello!
Welcome to my portfolio! I am a First Class Honour graduate in BAHONS 2D Animation. With half a decade of experience in illustration and an extended diploma in Art and Design, I have developed a strong foundation in animation. Creating character designs is a massive passion of mine, and I also take great joy in illustrating and organizing a team to produce animated short films.
I thrive in various circumstances and consistently deliver quality work within deadlines. With impeccable problem-solving skills, I am certainly a valuable asset to any production team focused on 2D animation and character design.
Demo Reel
Come take a look at a small selected sample of my work, which includes 2D animation, character design, concept art, backgrounds, and illustrations. I also create animated short films that showcase my expertise in animation.
"Project: Massacre" - Final Year Animated Short Film
Chrissie, a dear little lady with a passion for gardening, heads out to tend to her beloved plants when she discovers they're under attack by pests! Taking on a new gardening project we call "Project: Massacre," Chrissie shrinks down and battles the pests on their turf, at their size. This thrilling adventure could easily be a scene from a stunning 2D animation or an animated short film, showcasing unique character design and vibrant illustration.
"Dead Happy" - First Animated Short Film
This comedic animated short film features Robert, a man trapped in a zombie-infested contamination zone, who stumbles upon a pair of headphones. Overcome with joy, Robert puts on these newly discovered beauties and dances like no one is watching, momentarily escaping to a life that once was. Unfortunately for him, they turned out to be noise-cancelling headphones. Luckily for the zombies trailing him, this vibrant character, brought to life through stunning 2D animation and imaginative character design, was a feast to behold in this lively illustration of survival.
