2D/3D Animator / Illustrator/ Designer
Hi, I’m Sofia Moshkina or Polykromica, a Melbourne-based 2D/3D character animator and illustrator. I focus on creating expressive, whimsical work with strong attention to detail and a willingness to experiment. I hold a Bachelor of Design and a Master’s in Animation, Games and Interactivity, and work across Toon Boom, Adobe Suite, and Blender. I’m particularly passionate about character design, rough animation, and bringing personality into motion.
