Hello!
I'm Hyacynth, a New Zealand illustrator who loves bright colours, bold lines, and brilliant stories.
I'm an animation student, book nerd, Avatar-enjoyer (the one with the bald kid), and lover of long dog walks in the sun.
Myths and legends are my bread and butter. I bring fantastical ideas into fully rendered reality. Most recently, I helped bring the Kiwi card game" Christmas Chaos" to life with my art and package designs.
With my saturated colours and clean black lines, I will pull your product to the forefront. Let's make your bold idea even bolder together!
My Process
My process starts by gathering references. Normally, I'll open up MagicPoser, a 3D figure app on my phone, and position the models to get an understanding of the perspective and anatomy of the character. Then, I messily sketch out my idea. Starting with the naked body and gradually adding details like hair, clothes, and the background. After that I get out my black G-pen and carefully trace over the sketch on a new layer. Splashing in flat colour with the bucket tool comes next. I tend to go for highly saturated and warm colours. Finally, if I feel extra into the drawing, I'll add some more interesting shading with the help of fancy overlays. And voilà! A fully finished piece.
