My name is Evgenia, and I am 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.
How I can help 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 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.
ConceptGiven complete creative freedom, I chose to build upon the brand’s slogan—"High Heels: more comfortable than sneakers"—and push it to a hyperbolic extreme. The animation showcased one of the shoe styles from the store’s existing assortment.
ProcessThe client was presented with several script options for the video, an animatic for approval, and the character designs. The animation style was kept simplified, featuring soft and muted colors, as the entire video takes place within the main character’s apartment.
ResultsThe finished video was posted on the brand’s Telegram channel to celebrate 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 comes to Earth to seduce a dull office worker, but instead 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 • Background design • Background clean-up • Animation of several scenes
After 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.

Concept art for characters from the film
A sheet of emotions for animating the film’s main character.
ProcessTo maximize contrast and emphasize the atmospheric difference between the locations and the characters inhabiting them (demons in Hell; the office worker in the office), varied colors and shades were employed. Hell is characterized by bright reds and oranges, numerous 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, often with sickly undertones. The apartment scenes are the sole exception, slightly distinguished by warm lighting and calm, cozy colors. This same logic was applied to the character designs: both demons appear bright and provocative, predominantly in vibrant tones. The man, conversely, is pale, with an impassive face and minimal detailing, setting him apart from the other office workers.
ResultsThe characters in the animated film exhibit distinct personalities, possess strong expressiveness, and remain memorable even outside the film or its individual scenes.
