MANON MINCK, BCA (VEED) HONOURS
VISUAL DEVELOPER & CONCEPT ARTIST
MANON SAYS
“Hello my name is Manon and I have been studying concept art for five years at Flinders University/CDW Studios and am very keen to work in animation studios as a visual developer and/or concept artist.
I have always been inspired by 2D animation films from LA, Californian's studios, claymation studios such as Laika studios and European animation companies such as Cartoon Saloon and Spa Studios. I have enjoyed the heartwarming and charismatic tales from these indie studios and would love to be a part of the process, bring their creative ideas to life.
My dream is to be a part of the team at Pixar, Disney or DreamWorks and meet the astounding artistic talent that made them who they are today.”
“Most of my time and passion was spent on harnessing the charm and appeal that comes from 2D draftsmanship. I dabbled in learning traditional mediums to add more of an nostalgic charm to my digital work by learning to harness charcoal from figure drawing classes to gouache paintings to watercolour.
It has always been a pleasure to be able to converse, get mentored and become inspired by the teachers at Flinders University and CDW Studios, who always made time to help with our progress as well as help find our own voices, style and stories to share with the world. As well as the mentors, the student interaction is just as supportive and inspiring. We have always been constantly helping each other out and sharing new knowledge that we find from book of old master to modern concept artists who share their process. I cannot take full credit for my successes, as my development has only been possible from the supportive team and classmates at Flinders/CDW. Flinders/CDW is a very close and friendly community that I hope to keep in contact with as my journey as a concept artists continues.”
