But his unique style was actually the result of an unfortunate accident. Having trained as a traditional pen and paper type of artist, he had to upgrade his toolbox after suffering a massive injury to his drawing hand right before his final year at university. While his hand healed he learned to use 3D software as well as studying animation, which resulted in a new sort of art he’s now become recognized for.

“Everything I’ve learned so far is from free YouTube tutorials and forums,” he told Juxtapoz. “There are so many resources for people starting out in CGI and I owe a lot to the people who make that content… Coming from a design background and working in that area, I think its easier to teach yourself. Of course, there are certain jobs in CGI and animation, in general, where teaching yourself probably won’t cut it.”

“My main advice for people still studying is not to be hung up if you don’t know exactly what you want to make,” he adds. “I think it’s healthy not to have preformed ideas of exactly what you’ll do when you leave art school, but it’s still super daunting.”

“My father was a great illustrator and painter, who had a passion for Australian flora and fauna, which I was always fascinated by,” said the Australian-born Oregon-based artist in a chat with the Adobe Blog. “He was the kind of guy to stand and watch a sunset, a connection I cherish with him. Being aware of the beauty in nature is my biggest inspiration and I make sure that I take time away from the city to appreciate it as often as I can.”

So, naturally, Choice took to art at a young age, channeling his creativeness into comics and illustration. “I had a healthy obsession with comic books growing up, courtesy of my eldest cousin,” he recalled. “I would constantly illustrate scenes from them, but never considered it possible to make a career from it. After finishing high school, I was intent on not entering higher education unless I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I spent a couple years working odd jobs in construction, until someone introduced me to Photoshop and I began to create friends’ 21st birthday invites. This was the ultimate catalyst that set me on my career path.”

He now works from his own independent studio, Velvet Spectrum, collaborating with giants like Nike, Ray-Ban, Google, and HBO. And with almost 100k followers on Instagram alone, we’re sure to see more of him in the near future.

“We care about diversity and female empowerment and we joined forces to create a world of playful yet strong characters, full of energy and positivity,” their website reads.

“From the beginning, we have applied a ‘don’t look back’ approach,” they stressed in an interview with Inky Goodness. “Make something, publish it and move on. Because of the repetition of the character style, we are accumulating details which are improving with each illustration. The clearest example of this is in the body shapes. They have changed from a geometric beginning to having a more realistic, stronger structure, which is more in tune with our message of depicting real women.”

Menzies, an illustrator and craftswoman, and Reverter, a 3D artist and animator, work together to create their unique characters. With collaborations with the New York Times, Apple, and Google, their artistic recipe proved to be successful.
