About Me
My name is Kim Koshnick, but you can also call me “Kimzy”. I am an illustrator, character designer, creature designer, and concept artist.
I am currently pursuing a BFA in Illustration at Montclair State University. I live in northern New Jersey and in proximity to New York City.
Creating characters has been a longtime passion of mine. Ever since I was a child, I had a fascination with cartoon characters, how they act, and their appearances. I am proficient in creating fun-loving and, for the most part, friendly characters. Something about having a character to call my own brings me a sense of euphoria that I cannot describe, and I enjoy the process that comes with creating different characters.
Currently, the mediums I use frequently (and also my favorite) are digital art and ink, using a fountain pen. I have experience with a multitude of media, including digital art and ink, as well as Copic and alcohol markers, graphite, acrylic paint, colored pencils, and watercolor. For digital art, I use the app Procreate. I also have basic knowledge of rough 2D animation using Rough Animator. Also, I have basic experience with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Occasionally, I like working with clay and sculpting. I also have experience with graphic design - formatting & creating logos.
​
When I create traditional ink illustrations as of December 2025 and later, I put them through a scanner within my printer so that they are captured very clearly. Then (most of the time), I color those ink pieces digitally. This is a process that I enjoy a lot, and I intend to continue using this technique unless otherwise stated.
​
While I’m not creating art, I like taking nature walks, going on the treadmill, thrifting, fishing, exploring different places, and spending quality time with loved ones. I am someone who wants to get the best out of life and focuses on positive outcomes. I really love the colors green (especially green), brown, and pink. Cottagecore, fairycore, and mosscore would best describe my aesthetics. My other interests are cats, frogs, animals in general, matcha, the outdoors, reptiles, and sushi.
