Poppy Kitsune Helt

I want to learn everything I can about anything art related. I have experience with both digital and traditional disciplines.

From Photoshop to painting, digital sculpting to color matching, I always want to learn and make more. I love Japan, pop culture, cats, and anything sweet. My calling in life (not just a "job") is to be an artist. I enjoy both 2D and 3D design. I am looking for Junior 3D or Senior Graphic Designer roles.

​

I have a graduate from Academy of Art University with a degree in Graphic Design, and in 2023 I completed the 3D Character Artist track through CGMA. I was previously a principal artist/designer at FiGPiN, and previous to that I was a toy designer at Funko working in a variety of roles; from photography to becoming a senior packaging designer. I have also been a freelance graphic designer for 10+ years, for companies such as Anime-Planet, Mischief Toys, and Rocklove. Currently I am a 3D artist (modeling, retopo, texturing) at Wee Tattie Studios (Red Panda Games). 

​

See me nerd out about the Saga Pop!'s I helped create here. 

​

Programs used include: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Affiinty Photo, Affinity Designer, Maya, Arnold, Unreal 5, ZBrush, Marvelous Deigner, Marmoset Toolbag, Substance Painter, and Iray

 

Skills include: 3D modeling, 3D sculpting, 3D printing, texturing, creating UV's, character design, concept art, photo manipulation, creating dielines, and color callouts (pantone color picking and matching for products), vector artwork, digital and traditional mock-ups, layout, digital and traditional painting, and logo design. I am proficient on both Mac and PC.
