My name is Jung Shan. I am an illustrator and graphic designer specializing in portrait creations.  I am originally from Taiwan and I received my MA of graphic design at Northumbria University, UK in 2009.After school, I returned to Taiwan and started to work in an animation company first and then two game companies, but I now live in Austin, Texas with my husband and son.

 

I worked nearly two years as an in-house Texture artist in an animation company, CGCG Inc. which is a professional company in the animation industry in Taiwan.  Most of the clients for CGCG Inc. are from well-known Hollywood studios such as Lucas Film and Dreamworks.  In my service in this company, I focused on the Clone War project most of the time.

 

Later on, I worked in two game companies, Magician Technology Inc.and Brogent Technologies Inc. In these times, I continued to design digital contents such as game UI, concept art and CIS. In addition, I worked closely with clients and gave art direction and feedback.

 

In 2017, I moved to the State with my husband and started to focus on developing my own illustration style. I love to observe people’s faces and focus on portrait painting and character illustration. I have several drawing styles ; cute and geometrical composition, organic and stylish drawing and realistic portrait painting with strong brush strokes style.

 

I am looking forward to using my style to create more fun and joyful portrait illustrations and tell different stories behind the faces to my viewers.
