Welcome!

Hi, my name is Derian.

I am from France and Dominican Republic.

I am currently a student attending City Tech who is majoring in Communication Design. Although my major is Communication Design, I actually want to become an animator. I fell in love with animation after watching tons upon tons of animated movies of different variations. I loved the art style of how the WB DC animated movies look such as “Flashpoint Paradox”. As well as some Disney movies such as “Moana”. My favorite animation studio is Pixar, I have paid a lot of attention to detail in different pixar movies. My goal is to be hired at Pixar some day. I am so far a self taught animator.

Besides that I don’t have too many hobbies. I usually hang out with friends on my free time or work. I am currently looking into Adobe Flash, to animate. I am looking into investing into a drawing tablet, that way I can create original or different versions of drawings that seem interesting to me. For the most part I really enjoy drawing. Sometimes I get a block in my creativity and don’t know what to draw so I look at cartoons that I used to watch as a kid. Or I would look into the DC movies which are brilliantly animated and drawn. I have not really looked into 3D animation as of yet but I will as soon as I believe I am ready to begin it.
