Hey guys! I am SO excited to announce that I’ve joined Patreon and now have an outlet to support my work! Here’s the link.

My name is Kat Tsai and I am a Vis Dev Artist at Dreamworks TV with a passion for color, atmosphere, and capturing a moment in an illustration.  I feel really lucky to be where I am now, having been born and raised in Virginia, far away from the hub of animation. Unlike a lot of my peers who had the foresight to go to an animation school, I had never even heard of schools like CalArts until I was already 20 years old. I ended up graduating from Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and everything I know about digital illustration I taught to myself through years of self-study. I want to be able to share my knowledge with the rest of the world, especially other artists that might not have the resources to learn through a traditional art education.

By pledging to my Patreon, you can help support me in doing the thing that I love, and in return I can share with you my step-by-step digital drawing process for new pieces I make plus tutorials, exclusive doodles and sketchbook drawings for patrons only!

Thank you so much for sticking around and for all of your support!

I’m so excited to share some of the work I did for my personal passion project/Cartoon Network intern pitch, GIRL GANG! (Ideally I’m hoping to eventually publish it as a graphic novel/webcomic!)

The story takes place in a future where ocean levels have risen and covered the Earth, leaving only chains of islands where continents used to be. On an island in the Pacific, a gang of street girls fight to survive the oppression of the Empire, a civilization from across the ocean that is on a mission to colonize and conquer all the world’s remaining land. 

Some brief character blurbs about the main gang: Miya- the quiet and somewhat shy leader of the gang who talks little but packs a massive punch with her baseball bat; Emi- the gang’s getaway driver and auto specialist and the disowned daughter of a wealthy Inner Circle family; Yuyu- the black market dealer and scavenger with a bubbly personality and an obsession with 200-year-old anime artifacts; and Blue- a Muy Thai fighter who values honor and justice above all else, and defected from her previous gang when Miya saved her life.

On the opposing side, Riza’s gang of wealthy and entitled elitist Inner Circle girls are out to wreak havoc in the Outskirts, and end up clashing with Miya and her gang as a result. Riza is the daughter of a highly influential politician and believes herself to be superior to “Outskirts trash,” while Krystal (the Empire’s number one teenage pop idol), Jin (a cyber hacker) and Momo (a skilled wrestler who sticks with Riza out of a desire to belong) enable her to put the Outskirts in what she perceives to be their rightful place.

That’s all for now but I hope you all enjoy!! I love this project and I can’t wait to fully realize it sometime in the near future. (ALSO: IF YOU WANNA DO FANART- GO RIGHT AHEAD, JUST PROMISE YOU’LL SHOW ME!!) Love, Kat!
