Hello! I'm CJ, but I commonly go by Fishfghtrs. I'm a US based illustrator who primarily focuses on character design, and am currently in my final year of studying at Northern Michigan University. I love worldbuilding as well as brainstorming ideas for characters and their worlds.I have always had a knack for drawing things that were playing on TV or from video games as a kid. Immersing myself in those worlds inspired me to start creating my own, and to also become an artist! Big fan of dragons, the color red, and my cat Panther (proud cat parent!). In 2024, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Japan for 9 months.
