Roya Shahidi | Looking for work @rsdream12.bsky.social · Apr 8
Hi there #PortfolioDay !!
My name is Roya and I'm a story artist, animator and producer looking for work (full time or freelance)

I love drawing stylized characters, retro inspired designs and telling impactful stories

Digital drawing of a very tired Roya bundled up in a blanket behind a light blue background Old black and white photograph style group photo of a family of vampires against a faux forest backdrop An anthro blue cat with big yellow eyes, wearing a red varsity jacket with a giant R and D, jeans and light black shoes with a surprised look on his face against a blue, glitching background and lighting coming out the sides of his face An intergalactic arcade dimension stream overlay as a hodgepodge of an arcade, a movie theater and a ball pit as floating islands against an arcade floor pattern

Watching Fionna and Cake is making me realize how important Adventure Time is to me. Both creatively and fundamentally. I want to make/help make something that’ll resonate with as much as this franchise has for me

Ngl for a while I've been thinking of having a Patreon/Ko-fi membership. Not sure how I wanna go about it since I don't have much work to warrant things atm but I can also make it a tip jar. Hmmm I'll think about it

Th- W-.. They can NOT be serious. Say what you will about Zootopia 2, but to completely disregard peoples hard work just to say “might as well be AI”.. that’s stooping to an all time low
Article from The Guardian Zootropolis 2 review - just-about-passable family comedy sequel might as well be Al generated Another day, another supremely competent, passably-but-not-overwhelmingly funny digitally animated family comedy featuring talking animals. It's not Al, but it might as well be. This is Zootropolis 2, which is named Zootopia 2 on its home turf in the US. (Is the reference to lefty ideas such as "utopia" too dangerous for the all-important foreign territories?) If this is the second in what promises to be a continuing series, perhaps Z3 will be cautiously hailed as a return to the franchise's "dark" roots.

OK K.O.! crew art show piece from 2017 :•3 i think about them all the time
my entry for an OK K.O. crew art show in 2017! a scene depicting 3D models of KO, Enid and Rad around the bodega counter doing their signature moves (sitting cutely, mopping, kicking their feet up and kicking back). They’re constructed from play-doh and have scattershot 2D drawings surrounding them— sparkles, lightning bolts and little cartoons of their heads. The text reads “OK KO!! Lets be heroes!!! on CN” (back when the episodes were available on the CN app).

Hey you
A white stoat wearing an elegant tweed suit with a red vest. He holds a lantern out, autumn leaves swirling at his ankles, while an banner flutters over his head that reads "Unclench your jaw."

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Did I actually forget to post the Wizard City kids boards/designs from the new season?
From Fionna and Cake Season 2 Episode 1 - The Hare and the Sprout. Rough designs for older teen Cadebra and Blaine with some notes and inspirations. Rough design for timeskip young Peppermint Butler aka Pepper Mint aka Pep a few years older than he was in Wizard City. He's rife with teenage attitude and in his pastel goth phase. Storyboard panel of the WizArts trio in Simon's magic artifacts class. Pep heckles Simon. Blaine looks up from their manga. Four doves are perched on Cadebra and a bunny peeks out from her hair. "Mommies say hi". Pep carries a plushie of Timmy on his head, a gift from Marceline and Princess Bubblegum. Put in his place by his grandpa.

UPDATE:

So with the help of an awesome friend, I was able to take care of the Toon Boom Subscriptions. I’m keeping the original goal to instead have it be for necessities before my next pay day. Thank you all for the support so far!

Hey.

Kindly reminder.

Content creators are not your friends just because you like their work. You do not know who we are.

This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults.

If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.
