hey there! my name is sofi villano, but please call me ryv!

my username was formerly seismicslush. i’m a 2D character focused concept artist, animator, & illustrator based in pasig city, philippines. i think the world will never cease to surprise me, and i don't want my perpetual-learning-journey to cease, either. that is to say, i welcome the unknown with open arms.

i graduated from the university of santo tomas (UST) in 2022, & majored in painting; but now specialise in digital works. i've previously worked as the lead animator & concept artist in the art team for ribeye games, from 2022-2024. you can see my process & work for our last project, mononeko, by clicking the top button over there. ah, and my resume, too. 👉

for personal work, i've always been drawn to emotionally honest stories, nature, dark themes, & the otherworldly. in my spare time, you can catch me observing nature with a book by my side.

contact me at spectryv@gmail.com for any freelance opportunities.

thank you for passing by!
