CARINA BICHLER
My name is Carina and I’m an independent 3D character artist based in Tyrol (Austria). I mainly work in the film industry but I also work for other areas such as games and miniatures.
I mostly create stylized characters that evoke a sense of childhood and nostalgia, and focus on keeping my portfolio updated. When you look at my work, you might catch a glimpse of the childhood sparkle and you might also see my love for disney and dreamwork animation. If you want to be transported into a world where fantasy and reality blend into one another and where 3D sculpts transport emotions and feelings, then you might enjoy my work.
Art is my forever first love, but when I’m not sculpting or drawing, I enjoy being on the mountains, hiking, climbing, meeting friends, reading mangas, travelling, playing video games , spend time with my family, and binge-watching series.
