BIO

My name is RONIN-2000. I am an Illustrator that creates illustrations for both the industry and personal studio. My artistic inspiration is taking the American Wild West and combining it with influences of Japanese culture. The illustration and gallery pieces can be either Wild West or Japanese while most will be a combination of both cultures. There are times where my artistic direction will be more monsters and creatures.

​

The journey of the art world had started all the way back in 2010 when I attended high school. In 2015, I graduated from Chaparral High School which set me on my artistic journey in becoming a better illustrator. Some time passes and was able to graduate with a BFA Illustration in Entertainment Design from Laguna College of Art and Design in 2021. At that point the talent and skills achieved started to show faster than usual which is seen in the recent work posted on this portfolio website. This is the first step of becoming a part of the industry.

​

The industry style is the complete opposite from the studio and gallery compositions. The industry pieces created are for television shows, cinematic animations, and video games. The designs are a variety of styles that can appeal to anyone. My design skills keep improving while attempting to keep adding more styles, techniques, and variations that will show the dedication of each composition. The goal for the industry works is to keep pushing and expanding the artwork created.
