Hello! We are Hinotori. We're a multimedia all-around artist that loves our characters so so much and eats WAY too much instant curry.
We made this website as a little space for ourselves online, as well as a catalog of our artistic journey. With the pressure of constantly posting online to gain an audience being so rigorous and prejudiced, and the unfortunate devaluation of the visual arts currently happening with all of the AI slop, we will also be posting our art here more than on any other social media platform. The algorithm has made it inaccesible for us to build an audience with our chronic fatigue. This is our small, yet bold way of resisting that algorithm.
This is also a way for us to design a website the way WE want to, seperate from our professional portfolio website, which (unfortunately) has to appeal to the masses/industry. Projects from our portfolio website, however, will also be showcased on here, not only for your enjoyment, but just because we feel like it. Sharing our imagination with EVERYONE is what we feel like we were put on this planet to do.
Character Creation/Design and Storytelling are two of our biggest passions. We are currently in community college studying for a Certificate Of Achievement in Animation And 3D Modeling, and we hope to attend art school to continue our education with a Bachelor's in Character Animation. We hope to work in the animation world, our ultimate goal being to become an indepentent mangaka and animator and create our stories the way WE want to, no ifs ands or buts. We hope you will come to enjoy our artistic creations, and maybe find a bit of yourself in some of them.
Signed,
