Mini-Portfolio

Acrylic still life studies I did for one of my painting classes. I learned to control the balance of paint and water as well as how to hold the brush to make marks. I got the chance to learn how to tackle reflective objects and distorted image through glass

These are a few of the digital painting studies I did using photoshop. Referenced from photos. Learning to use photoshop and translating traditional painting to digital.

I did not work on the above short film, however I would like to share it. The story has so much passion and in a great pace. I was literally on the edge of my seat as I watch this. Fair warning to those who get emotional easily, you will cry. At least I did.

My name is Jessica Tang and I go by the nickname 'Icy.' I am a senior student who majors in illustration and is currently the Librarian of Shrunkenheadman Club. I have taken classes on animation, illustration, visual development, and 3D modeling. As of right now, I'm taking advance illustration, physics of animation, public speaking, and Intro to 3D animation. I am currently aiming to become a visual development artist. I still have not decided to focus on environments or characters yet, since I enjoy both.

The First Post

Hi there, my name is Jessica Tang and I go by the nickname 'Icy.' Odd nickname, right? People have guessed it was because I am cold hearted as ice or that I am just too chilled for others. I assure you, it is none of that. It was a name my friends called me back in senior year of high school because of how cold I constantly was. No matter how much clothes I put on, my hands and face would feel lce cold. From there, the name became a part of me. I had the chance to ditch the name when I started college, but I didn't. Just embracing who I am and what I will become.
