ROBERT BALL

Art and design have been integral to my life since childhood, with a profound early fascination for anime serving as a creative foundation. As a child, I recall pausing the TV to meticulously draw anime characters, a passion that felt natural. This fascination for anime has remained a constant throughout my journey. As for my creative influences, while I generate many original ideas, I must acknowledge that the anime style has intensely shaped me. Drawing inspiration from this genre, I've taken reference from it for a substantial duration. This influence has become a part of my design DNA, merging seamlessly with my original thoughts to create a unique artistic voice that pays homage to the anime tradition while infusing it with my personal creativity. Illustration, a core component of my work, holds a special place in my heart. Creating character illustrations, from inception to depicting them from various angles, is a source of immense joy. It's a process through which I breathe life into my creations. Storytelling is another vital aspect of my artistry. Crafting narratives through manga and using my characters to convey stories and events empowers me to explore boundless creative horizons. The pursuit of independence drives my unwavering desire as an artist, the ability to craft characters and stories uniquely my own and to shoulder full creative responsibility.
