'Break'

A heartfelt short film included in the SCAD Film Award showcase about a boy and his dog trying to survive. Directed by Jaki Haboon.

​

I worked as a background artist, character clean-up, and animation color artist. I enjoyed every second of it!

Color Artist

'U.P.P'

Collaborative student film that won numerous awards such as: The Golden Earth Film Award, the Direct Monthly Online Film Festival, and the Independent Online Film Festival. The film is a comical take on two astronauts floating about in their everyday lives.

 

I worked as an asset modeler, clean-up and texture artist, the UV artist, as well as a concept and story artist. It was a lot of work, but some of my favorite late nights spent with excellent friends.

Battalla Official TCG

A trading card game that combines traditional TCG gameplay with Chess mechanics.

​

Worked in collaboration with other local artists under Battalla to create unique decks of cards for the area of Huntsville, Alabama. I researched cultural and mythological icons to develop accurate and unique illustration portrayals for hero and unit cards.​

'Archaic'

A mixed media action short of a cartoon character in a realistic landscape. Directed by Asfandiyar Ali Aga.

 

I was brought on as a background painter, brush creator, and layout designer for the short. It was a lot of fun learning how to make custom brushes to match the style.

'Myth'

By request from Jaki Haboon, I was brought onto this short film last minute, as a layout designer, background painter, and clean-up assistant. Sadly, the film still had to be left incomplete due to a loss of animation staff.

 

The film would have been a heartbreaking retelling of the classic tale: The Minotaur.

About

Hi, I'm Nichole Hart, Nico is my artist tag.

​

I am a storyboarder, illustrator, and writer compelled by the storytelling aspects of art from drawing and script writing to comic books and animation. Getting inside the a character's psyche to act out how their responses to scenarios and picking the perfect camera are my favorite aspects of art. Together they control how well information is conveyed and how immersed viewers can become in a story. 

 

For fun, I break down films, read, and write short stories. I enjoy food adventures, traveling, kayaking, rafting, and hiking.

​

I'm currently working as a lecturer and student film director, but I'm looking for focused work in storyboards, comics, animation, scripts, and illustration.
