Phoenix Angello is a 3D animator and artist working in Photoshop and Maya. His focus is a combination of stylized realism and patterns told through character design, 3D animation, and 3D modeling. Phoenix is dedicated to telling stories through art that inspire other people, while also showcasing more lgbt characters and diversity in the entertainment industry. He was first inspired to start drawing and pursue a career in animation when he saw Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. He taught himself how to use many programs such as Procreate and Flipaclip, all the while developing his character design and illustration skills. After years of drawing, he began to study Animation & VFX at Drexel University in Philadelphia. He is now a 2nd year student and also recently completed an internship at DVNC, where he gained practical experience in the game design industry and further developed his professional skills.
His works are inspired by stylized animations such as Arcane, The Amazing Digital Circus, and Nimona, as well as realistic 3D animated games such as Baldur’s Gate 3 and Detroit: Become Human. Phoenix wants to gain experience working for both game and movie studios, and then make an animated show of his own based on his stories.
When he’s not drawing, Phoenix finds creative expression in music production, writing, and fashion design. He uses these other hobbies with his artworks as well. Phoenix is currently living in Philadelphia studying Animation & VFX, as well as working on commissions and character designs for his stories.
