Hello there! My name is Ty, or Teathy, and I am an illustrator and character artist based in the PNW who specializes in 3/4 shoulder-up portraits and illustrations of girls looking off into the middle distance. My work is inspired by anime and pop culture, as well as whatever is striking my fancy in the moment. I am an expert in trying a new technique, successfully executing that technique, and then never being able to replicate that success ever again.
I began my art journey right after I turned 14, making my first fan-made OC for the anime Hetalia, and from there I could not stop creating characters. I have always been a lover of stories and storytelling, and used to dream to be a world renowned author. Now I combine that previous dream with my love of art, and wish to make stories and characters that can reach and speak to people. I would love to make an impact in the world with my work and stories.
Because I am self taught, I am always learning and improving every day, and I love trying new things in my art. My goal for next year (in 2024) is to have finished and published my first graphic novel.
Thank you so much for your time, I appreciate you very much!
