About the Artist
Behind the ghostly hat and the nickname FireHazl hides an ordinary little human named Yana.
She grew up (and spent most of her life) in Siberia, where each day filled her head with images and stories inspired by foreign animation.
Eventually, this passion pushed her to travel far from home to study and work in the field of 2D animation… a lovely fairytale, isn’t it?But to keep it short — I focus on creating illustrations, animations, and visually appealing character designs.
I’m also developing two personal projects that I hope will see the light of day someday.
