Biography of a Freelance Artist: Lotus Blair

Aftermath

I'm Lotus Blair.

I'm a self-taught artist from Jeffersonville, Kentucky.  I work in traditional media (watercolor, ink, and colored pencils), as well as digital media.  My digital works utilize software such as GIMP, Paint Tool SAI, and Krita.  My artistic focus lies in character design and illustration.  I also enjoy experimenting with surreal and abstract styles in my sketchbooks.

I've been practicing my arts my entire life.  As a child I began with animal illustrations.  In middle school I was introduced to manga, comics, and anime; which lead to the endless cycle of creating original characters, role playing, and creating stories to accompany my art.  In high school I realized that I wanted to pursue a career as an artist, whether in animation, writing, or illustrating comics.  Entering college, I found my passion in character design and comic book art.

As I continue to hone my skills, I've also begun studying video game design and programming.  I continue these studies at Maysville Community and Technical College, and will enhance my skill set through advanced classes focusing on character design, comic creation, and concept Art.

From the Founder:

Lotus came recommended from a good friend.  After reviewing her published work online, I realized I wanted to incorporate her work into my publications.

Presently, I am devising commission outlines for Lotus to work from for the coming adventure "Luther's Revenge", the sequel to the much loved "Tale of the Wizard's Eye".

I look forward to seeing amazing things from Lotus this year!
