Camryn Murphy 2023 Entry

I am thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate artist specializing in animation and visual development. My name is Camryn Murphy, and I am deeply committed to bringing characters to life and creating immersive worlds through my artwork.

With a strong foundation in character design, concept art, and character animation, I have honed my skills to deliver exciting visual experiences. I strive to evoke emotions and tell captivating stories through my art and animation.

I am excited about the opportunity to share my most recent work!

In this parody, the familiar storyline of the movie "Misery" takes a more modern twist. A passionate fangirl finds herself holding her beloved favorite character Blademar hostage when the series Sword Fight unexpectedly introduces a new love interest, Fabrina. Filled with exaggerated reactions, the video showcases the fangirl's outrageous attempts to keep her favorite character all to herself.

Through my first experience of animating a lipsync, much was learned throughout the process. After learning so much I may approach the animation process at a different angle, but it was an amazing learning experience. All aspects of the video was developed by me. 

In this animation, a tenacious cupid is on a mission to save a struggling couple's relationship. When a crucial arrow becomes lodged in a tree, time becomes of the essence. Witness the cupid's vigorous attempts to retrieve the arrow before it's too late.

In this animation exercise, a study of the technical and physical aspects of pushing and pulling were used to bring this character to life. All aspects of the video was developed by me.

In my final entry, an illustration depicting two girls—one human, the other a humanoid flyfish—playing together in a beach house bathroom. This artwork invites reflection on the balance between reality and imagination that emerge from the ordinary as this illustration captures the depths of childhood innocence and the power connections forged through shared experiences.
