Howdy! I'm Nikolas Dela Cruz!
I'm commonly known as Nik or Tinik on social media.I'm currently a student at San Jose State University's Animation/Illustration program. I have a passion for storyboarding and 2D FX animation! My favorite subjects to board usually involve my own characters or something I find silly and cute, contrasting my love for loud and flashy FX!Outside of animation, I enjoy Live2D rigging, writing, and vocaloid.
