Iegor S.
2D Artist / Animator
Kyiv Ukraine

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY:
2D Artist / Animator with a strong focus on frame-by-frame animation, illustration, and sprite creation. Drawing and visual storytelling have been a core part of my life from an early age - from creating illustrations since childhood to developing comics in my early teens, and building over 4+ years of hands-on experience in animation and motion.

I have commercial experience as an Illustrator, 2D Artist, Cartoonist, Comics artist, and Designer since 2019, and professional Animation experience since 2021.
I specialize in character sprites, backgrounds, and FBF animation, with the ability to work in multiple styles, including pixel art, minimalist pixel art, and stylized 2D visuals. My animation expertise is a key strength, allowing me to create expressive, readable motion and well-structured animation cycles.
While I do not yet have commercial experience in the game industry, I have a strong understanding of game development principles, including gameplay mechanics, visual readability, performance constraints, and asset structure. I approach games from a developer-oriented perspective, analyzing systems, mechanics, and visual logic rather than simply consuming them as a player.
Highly self-taught, self-driven, and disciplined, I continuously develop my skills through independent learning and practice. I’m comfortable working independently, managing my own workflow, and adapting quickly to new technical and creative requirements.
