Sicle n' Max

✧Sicle/Max ✧ He/Him ✧ Artist✧ Animator ✧ Rigger ✧

Hey there! I'm Max, known as 'Sicle' online. I'm an artist and animator based in the United States, and I've been working towards turning my love for art into a job since 2019. You might know me as the creative force behind the streamer He's Chameleon and as a storyboard artist for The Bicycle Maker.Beyond these collaborative ventures, I have a diverse portfolio of personal projects, with a current focus on "A Lingering Void." This short film delves into the narrative of Iso, an ink-like demon who escapes captivity by an old friend turned adversary, Siero, and ventures into the 'real world.' My commitment to storytelling and visual expression underscores my dedication to pushing the boundaries of artistic exploration.In addition to my core competencies in art and animation, I have expanded my skill set to encompass the domains of editing and sound design. In 2023, I actively contributed to the production of three collaborative short films, lending my skills to enhance the overall visual and auditory experience. Looking ahead to 2024, I am enthusiastic about continuing my involvement in these aspects of filmmaking, striving to further refine and expand my expertise in editing and sound design.

Art

I've been into art since I was young, but I started taking it considering it as a career path in 2015. I've been working hard to improve my style and skills ever since.I use an XP-PEN Artist12 tablet for my art, doing all my drawing in FireAlpaca.


Animation

I've been involved in animation since 2017, with a serious focus on it since 2019. My ongoing commitment has been directed towards elevating my skills to a professional standard. I've gained experience using Adobe and Toonboom Harmony for animation, and currently, due to financial considerations, I work with FireAlpaca.For my animation, I rely on an XP-PEN Artist12 tablet. I draw in FireAlpaca and handle editing in DaVinci.


Rigging

I've been doing character design since the start of my art journey, but I started creating and rigging Vtuber models in 2022. So far, I've successfully rigged three models, gaining experience in part division and rigging techniques. I can handle both character design and rigging.I use an XP-PEN Artist12 tablet for my art and rigging work. I draw in FireAlpaca and do the rigging part in Live2D.
