Hi there #PortfolioDay !!.My name is Roya and I'm a story artist, animator and producer looking for work (full time or freelance). I love drawing stylized characters, retro inspired designs and telling impactful stories. 💌 royashahidi12@gmail.com.🔗

If you’re aren’t able to go to the movie theater but still wanna have that experience when watching a film, I can’t recommend a makeship home theater enough. Even decent speakers can make a HUGE difference.

I've watched and rewatched K-Pop Demon Hunters SO many times at this point and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

So my parents watched Sinners last night and I’m super happy they finally did. Funny thing that happened is after my dad found out what kind of movie it was, he was like “NOPE NO THANK YOU!!” and walked out in the middle of the film while my mom watched the rest (she loved it).

RT @rsdream12: I’m still looking for work!.

I’m still looking for work!.

RT @MattyMcDee: Often times you end up working with the same people anyways. We are all friends here. 👇.

I care about all of my animation friends and mutuals. Those who work in the industry, are independent, do it as a hobby. ALL of them have been going through so much these past couple of years and deserve nothing but the best.

I can absolutely guarantee you that people who work at Sony and Disney/Pixar aren’t going after one after one another over how their projects have been received by the public.

Given how bad the industry has been for the past couple of years, the last thing to come across the minds of ANY animation worker is whose projects are “better” or “worse”. I have no idea why people would think this way.

People need to remember that animation artists who work in major studios aren’t pitting themselves against each other or gloating of their projects do better than one another. They’re celebrating their achievements, uplifting each other, empowering each other.

If you unironically call Pixar’s current era of art and animation style “bean mouth” and genuinely believe THAT is why their films have been “unsuccessful”, I’m sorry but you’re delusional to think that way.

I’m not just gonna survive, I’M GONNA FUCKING LIVE!! AND I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING STOP ME FROM LIVING!!!!!!!!!.

Some people need to read about what “selling out” actually means. Cause artists and creatives asking for money to live, fund their project and even making merch of said projects isn’t what I can “selling out”.

I can’t stop thinking about K-Pop Demon Hunters. The songs refuse to escape my brain!!.

RT @KyleTsetso: the *second* you get a *really strong opinion* about a cartoon you should learn how theyre made or youll be a net negative….

I’m gonna be entering my 30s in literally 30 more days. That’s wild to me.
