All drawings on this page were for Cafe Sketch, a class focused around working on the skill to make fast, clean, and readable gesture sketches, most/all sketches were done in under 2 minutes and about half had live references.

Hi !
I'm Vic Wilkin (they/them), and I'm a 2D animator, illustrator, and multimedia artist based in Columbus, Ohio!I recently graduated from the Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD) with a BFA in Animation, with a strong focus on 2D hand-drawn animation. I also have experience in Stop-motion animation, 2D rig making & animating, and motion graphics, as well as a bit of 3D modelling & animation experience!
I'm a huge enthusiast for creature/animal characters, and in my work I like to feature dramatic stories, expressive character animation, and dynamic visual styles, while also exploring dramatic and saturated color usage. I typically focus on rough character animation, but I also enjoy sharpening my skills in the rest of the animation pipeline.
-
I have professional experience interning with Aha Media, where I helped create some of the rough animation for their Frames Per Second short, "The Year of Boba". Through my time at CCAD, I have worked on my unreleased solo thesis film, Night Shift, along with a third-year collaborative film (Order Up), and a sophomore solo film (Blizzard & the Ghost). In 2024, I also competed in the 24 Hour Animation Challenge, where my team (Pajama Party)'s film placed 99th of 500+ teams internationally, and our BTS video placed 7th!
-
When I'm not working on my art, I can be found fursuiting at conventions, watching all things animation, and hanging out with my cats, Blizzard & Pebble
(currently seeking remote & hybrid opportunities in Central Ohio, along with freelance/commission work)
