Introduction to the animation industry. My name is Dante. My preferred name is Iris. I am autistic transgender (pre-HRT) WOC who's in self-training to be an animation artist/illustrator in the industry.

I am currently teaching myself storyboarding, prop design, character designer, and 2D visual development. I know there are some artists programs from Netflix and Nickelodeon, but I don't want to rush myself.

I see myself more as an illustrator than a character animator.

The software I am using are Storyboard Pro, Harmony (to practice basic animation principles), and Clip Studio Paint, which Clip Studio Paint came with my Wacom tablet I bought from Amazon.

I do hope to gain insight in the industry, move out of my mom's apartment, and finally get some good health insurance to finally take estrogen.

Anyways, nice to meet all of you!

-Iris
