Hi there! I’m Amanda Conrath. Most people know me as Pokii or pokiipanda. I am a Filipino-American artist currently residing in Dallas, TX. I went to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) for several years to improve my skills and learn many new things about myself and my creative journey — what it means to me to be an illustrator.
Ever since I was able to pick up a pencil and paper, drawing has been my lifeline. I am deeply passionate about illustrating and bringing my own and others’ ideas to life through my art. My style focuses and revolves around ‘semi-realism’ and eye-catching colors. My favorite aesthetic to draw is anything cute, alluring, and colorful, and a lot of my inspiration comes from Cyberpunk and Vaporwave themed media. I absolutely love the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners!
My other interests include gushing about my OCs (original characters), learning Live2D and 3D art, reading manga, Japanese snacks, trying new foods, and staying up late playing video games.
