I'm a freelancer who specializes in 2D art medium under the manga/anime genre from Illinois but currently resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am a recent undergraduate from Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University, class of 2023. My major is in digital art and design. My strongest skills first and foremost is that I am a self starter, I don't need a whole lot intervention to get projects rolling and finished on time. I manage my own projects and commissions on a regular completion ratio. I am tapped into not whats cool and relevant now but what will be in the future. To date I run my own Art studio as a sole proprietor. I am the Founder, CEO and Chief Creative Officer of Art of Ro Studio and creator of Miroto Legacy, which I am positioning to be the future of the Black anime/manga genre. Right now the story is being told via Webtoons series which you interested parties may read at your inclination. To be frank I have my own vision, extremely strong artistic prowess and a will to work my projects from below the ground up and turn them into projects on par with the likes of Dragon Ball Z, Star Wars, Pokémon and other household titles and franchises. For success in my career is not a matter of if but a matter of when. What I'm offering you, interested parties is an opportunity to have worked with me. To have the honor and distinction of featuring my art and work before I reach the level I mentioned earlier. What I'm looking for is experience, connections/ networking and financial gains. I am a good team player, if not one of your stronger team members. what I offer is quality art, a vast ocean of ideas and concepts that will bring any project to the next level and an upbeat/friendly and super easy to work with environment/ experience to all who decide to take me on to their company as a freelancer who comes in wrecks shop and gets things done. I'm not waiting for someone to toss me a bone but we all need help and right now I need your help. When you look at my art do not consider what I can do now but what I'll be capable of in the future. This is my journey to pay my dues like all the greats must do.…
