ABOUT ME
'Its a Monster Fennec!' April 6 2020
Hi there! My name is Georgia Murray, better known as MonsterFennec by the artistic community. I'm a Non-binary (she/they), Australian, Furry artist! I have been working as an independent illustrator since 2016. I have been drawing in my free time for as long as I can remember, with drawings of mine dating back to when I was 7 years old. I first began drawing digital art around 2014 after I was given a Wacom Tablet for my 12th birthday, but only began using it seriously around late 2015. I started with using MS Paint, then transitioned to using Krita a year later, and finally settled with Paint Tool SAI which is my current art program of choice. My inspiration for drawing first came from my fascination for animals, particularly horses, dogs, and mythical beings such as dragons. This led to my involvement in many different communities and fandoms, starting with My Little Pony as a kid. I also began discovering what's called as 'Let's Plays', which grew my interest in games. I began drawing art for many different games such as the Five Nights At Freddy's franchise and Undertale. As I grew up watching many different Let's Plays, my love for game design and character design grew, and I have been interested in being involved in the creation of games, more specifically the character design and modeling side of games, as character design and illustrating is my specialty. I am now currently studying at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment for my double diploma in Game Art and Animation (Visual Arts and Screen & Media) and my advanced diploma in Professional Game Development.
Top Arts 2021
Trans Love, 2020
I was lucky enough to be shortlisted for the 2021 Top Arts Gallery, with only around 100 of over 1000 students in Victoria to be selected. This was a very special event in my life as my high school, Hoppers Crossing Secondary College, had only seen a few students manage to be shortlisted or even be featured in the gallery. I was another one of few added to that small list. As much as I would've loved to have my artwork hanging in the gallery, I am still grateful to have had such a meaningful image be considered in the first place. It features three individuals of different LGBT+ identities expressing their love and gratitude for one another, to show the tightly woven strength amongst the LGBT+ community.
