Hi Raine — Ryk Fortuna here, 22-year film FX veteran (Weta Workshop senior sculptor: Kong, Avatar, District 9), now doing character/creature concept. Upfront: I work AI-assisted — AI sketches the rough, I art-direct and finish everything in software. I see AI-assisted applicants are welcome here, good.
One honest flag: my portfolio runs dark and weathered (instagram.com/efxboy), and I saw you're after a prettier anime look — I can work toward a style, but I won't pretend it's my native one. If the vampire-apocalypse tone has room for grit, I'd love to talk. Available ~4 hrs/week, rate negotiable around $50/hr.
Quick addition to my reply above — since you mentioned wanting a prettier style, here's a recent piece in a cuter register: the pamplemousse and its buddy. Same AI-assisted workflow as described. More at instagram.com/efxboy.
Happy to move to Discord whenever.
