Jonathan Musso

Character & Creature Artist for both Film and Games. I am passionate about digital portraiture and character design, and have a strong understanding of both artistic and technical workflows. 


My time at Sheridan College exposed me to the full Feature Animation pipeline and Creature Technical Direction, including: Writing, Storyboarding, Character Design, Creature Design, Anatomy, Animation, Rigging, Modelling, Texturing, Compositing, Muscle Simulation, Hair Simulation, etc.


Working as a CFX Artist and Production Manager has provided me with additional technical and managerial skills.
