Tigrin

Hi #PortfolioDay, my name is Krystina and I'm currently a freelance gameplay animator with over 15 years of experience in the industry. I've worked on a number of shipped titles with broad experience in different styles and engines. I am pretty much always looking for work.

I have a Chromebook that can fold into a drawing tablet and I'm considering Clip Studio Paint so I can do digital drawing... I know it's used for digital manga but don't know much else about it. Apparently it requires a subscription. Any thoughts on this software?

I have been looking through old art to post to Instagram (trying to get that account going, sigh) and I am low-key fangirling over my own art from 2011, it's great?? What the hell? Is my bar now just to be able to draw as well as I did 15 years ago?

layoffs.asgc.gg Lately I have started looking into pivoting out of the animation and games industry entirely. All I ever wanted to be was an animator since I was 13. I'm almost 40. I haven't had a job since UbiSF closed in 2024. I'm looking for jobs on the deck of the Titanic.

I finally got around to updating my website tigrin.net after Squarespace deprecated my 10+ yo layout... feels like I've fallen so far from when I used to hand code my websites in Notepad using HTML, rip.

New insult just dropped

Lol that first attack.... this is like my account mascot

Lately the existential dread over AI is so intense that seeing literally any human-made art is such a joy. Thanks for posting even your little doodles, it helps.

This thing is going to haunt my nightmares

I accidentally left my pen on the red setting I guess

I don't feel like my drawings do justice to how stinking cute this cat is

Chronic pain/migraines bad lately

Pokémon doodles for today, very busy day

Drawing stuff on my desk. I've been drawing only in ballpoint pen lately to prevent myself from erasing and getting super uptight about everything 🫠

Some doodles for today ✅

I'm still so miserable when I draw but I'm trying

SAVE HIM

Adding to the drawings of my toddler today.

Current daily goal in Finch

Drawing Pokémon my daughter requests while she paints them.

Trying to work on my years-long art block by pushing myself to draw every day. Drawing from photos of my toddler.

Not the cat drooling on my sketch of him 🥲

It was funny to watch the map flip as soon as I chose my answer for "caramel". The potential answers for sun shower are wild? mydialect.us/quiz-standar...

Had a dream last night about a Christmas store named "Rizzmas". Slogan: The Season is Giving™ I think I need to touch grass.

Is it a millennial thing to keep instruction manuals or is that just me? I know millenials are supposedly notorious for hoarding boxes and stuff. My favorite are probably the old game manuals, sad they don't make things like this anymore.

A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...

probably like the only time I'll get a perfect game on #smush lol www.hankgreen.com/smush/

Begging streaming platforms to let me watch the credits.

✨Qrp with your Pride Flags✨

It's almost as if I like a color. #finch

Darth Maul: Shadow Lord made me very nostalgic for Titan A.E. both in tone and design, and I don't feel like that's a coincidence.

I found it! 🎉

Today's Muninn. Every day is a horror lately.

Waking up from nightmares of helplessly watching world-ending disasters and then reading the news feels like being stuck in a feedback loop.

What? Nooooo 😭 I'm not a fan of starting to get old enough to see the legends I grew up admiring leave us.

Muninn looking longingly up at the window this morning. He's a nervous jumper and usually needs a lift up to the windowsill.

Eyeball cleanse for these cursed times...

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers Oh my god I could be here all day posting these things, it's really hard to pick one so I'm going to pick 4 fight me

Hey millenials: Better go check that album full of CD-Rs if you've got data on them, I tested a few yesterday from 2002 and had to give them a good swipe of the t-shirt to even get my aging BD to read them.

My brand new, $3000 computer, lol 💀 stuck in an automatic repair loop where it keeps reassigning the drive letters. Earliest I can get it repaired is Thursday.

I was making a giant cheese costume out of cardboard, my hand slipped while cutting a big hole using a box cutter, and the blade went straight into my left arm. Still have the scar. The costume was so big that when I got laid off from Obsidian it was too big to fit in my car and I left it behind.

Got a new computer recently. Tore my place apart but can't find my install CD for Adobe CS5. Exhausted all my other options. Feeling really defeated. I know it's like 16 years old but it's worked for me okay up until now and almost $800 a year for the same thing feels absurd. 😞
