Hi, and thanks for stopping by! My name is April McIvor-Roberts. I am a freelance artist and animator specializing in pixel art for games. My very first foray into pixel art was at the age of 7, imagining worlds and characters in the style of the Pokémon games, but I didn't begin to get serious about it until after high school. I am entirely self-taught with background experience in figure drawing, landscape painting, and traditional and digital animation. Apart from video games, I also have a love of fashion, hiking, and roadtrips! I am always trying to improve and treat every experience as an opportunity to learn.
A few of the games which inspire me the most in terms of gameplay, artstyle, etc. are Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing.
Some movies in the same vein are Redline, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Coraline, and pretty much anything from Studio Ghibli.
I am from British Columbia, Canada, and my rates are based in Canadian dollars. If you think you might want to hire me for a project or even if you're just curious, feel totally free to e-mail me for an estimated quote! Remember to include the details of the project and a rough list of what you'd need me to do in the e-mail. I reserve the right to decline any contracts and I will not work with anyone who exhibits racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other kind of discrimination. Right now I only accept payments online through PayPal.
