My Bio
My name is Anna, sometimes known within the online community as Possum, and I'm 21 years old and fresh out of college with a BFA in Animation and a minor in Illustration from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University.

Though my college focus might suggest otherwise, the real focus of my work is pre-production and concept art ranging from storyboarding and key-framing, to my favorite thing, character designing. A large focus of what I do is on drawing animals and designing monsters and creatures, as animals have always been my favorite subjects to draw since I was very young. Much of my spare time goes into amateur zoology studies and researching taxonomy because I'm just amazingly cool like that. My ultimate goal is to break into the video game industry and, eventually, work creating alien races and monsters and animal characters to populate the many vast settings that video games can depict.

If you want to be friends, your best bet is contacting and getting to know me via my personal tumblr because I rarely use dA for personal communication.

If you are a recruiter or an interested potential employer, please allow me to make your browsing easier and direct you to my website, which has a far more organized and intuitive layout to help you find what you may need.

Random piece of trivia you will be grateful for in case you didn't already know this: "awkward" is an ancient nordic word brought to britain by the vikings when they first entered the land. I can't help but feel that it stuck because the poor vikings couldn't stop saying this for the time they were there
