Sheridan Baker Art

SHERIDAN BAKER

Murtoa, Victoria, Australia

I began my digital art journey in year 10 thanks to my art teacher who allowed me to take the only digital tablet from the school art storage. I immediately began practicing my art and soon began working on emotes for Twitch streamers. I myself am a streamer, and when I am not working on commissions or creating any sort of art, I am streaming as Virtual entertainer (also known as a Vtuber). My content creation and community management folio can be found here.

I have had many opportunities to partner with studios such as Bungie (through their DestinyANZ PR branch) and APOSTLE DIGITAL to work on commissions and internship programs which have helped me further my skills in the concept art and illustration fields. These works can be found in my folio.

My ambition in life is to inspire others to create works they are proud of and to one day become a senior concept artist.
