My name is Evgenia, I’m a bachelor’s student majoring in Animation at HSE University. I create custom short animated films and am also available to work on concept art, backgrounds, and other stages of animation production.
What I can do for you:
• Animation from scratch based on your script or any of your ideas
• An animated video for your brand or music track
• Character concept art: anthropomorphic, human, or animal
• Background concept art
• Illustrations for the brands or individual commissions

02: High heels
High Heels
A short vertical video created based on a brief from the High Heels brand.My role in the project: •Idea / Concept •Character and background concept art •Storyboarding and animatic •AnimationMy task was to create a short video in a Shorts format for social media to celebrate the brand’s anniversary.
IdeaSince I had complete creative freedom, I decided to build on the brand’s slogan — «High Heels: more comfortable than sneakers» — and take it to a hyperbolic extreme. The animation featured one of the shoe styles from the store’s existing assortment.
Concept art for character
ProcessThe client was presented with several script options for the video, an animatic for approval, and the character’s appearance. The animation style was kept simplified, with soft and muted colors, since the entire video takes place in the main character’s apartment.
Frames from the film
ResultsThe completed video was posted on the brand’s Telegram channel in celebration of the High Heels anniversary.
03: Demon love
Demon Love
A university project created in collaboration with several other students. The plot follows the main character, a demon, who goes to Earth to seduce a boring office guy, but ends up falling in love with him.My role in the project: • Character design: created fully developed concept art for the animators to use in their work • Backgrounds design •Clean-up of backgrounds •Animation of several scenesAfter receiving the finished script and a partial character description, I needed to design contrasting main characters whose personalities would be visible not only through their actions but also through their appearance.
Background for one of the film scenes
Concept art for characters from the film
A sheet with emotions for animating the main character of the film.
ProcessTo maximize the contrast and emphasize the difference in atmosphere between the locations and the characters appearing in them (demons in Hell; the office guy in the office), different colors and shades were used. Hell features bright red and orange colors, plenty of dark areas, and dim lighting. On Earth, whether in the apartment or the office, the palette consists of muted, pale shades of blue and gray with sickly undertones. The apartment scenes are the only exception, slightly standing out with warm lighting and calm, cozy colors. The same logic was applied to the character designs: both demons look bright and provocative, predominantly in vibrant tones. The guy, on the contrary, is pale, with an inexpressive face and minimal details, distinguishing him from the other office workers.

ResultsThe characters in the animated film differ in personality, are expressive, and remain memorable even outside the film itself or its individual scenes.
