Hi, I'm Zorika!
2D Animator, Illustrator and Comic Creator
I started drawing comics from an early age with a brief interruption to get my degrees in graphic-design, filmmaking and 2D animation. I love to spend time in and learn about all things nature. When I have too much energy, I teach myself historical costume sewing, and bushcraft, so I can re-enact my personal Outlander lovestory. Originally from Germany, I now live and work in Oxenhope, UK.
