Morgan Jordan
Artist | Animator | Writer | Streamer
What's up, my lovely StarKats!
I'm Morgan, often going by my pseudonym Reloaxa (you can call me Relo for short).
​
I'm your local sleepy KitKat God working as an artist, character designer, concept artist, learning animator, writer and (occasional) music producer/singer-songwriter hailing from England. I'm also a streamer/VTuber on Twitch. I'm currently just freelancing, but sm interested in working in the animation industry.
​
I welcome you all to my universe (The KitKat Verse) where I can embrace my creativity and ideas, whilst escaping reality for a short while. I love to be experimental, often trying out many styles and techniques, one day hoping to find my very own. What I love to do most of all is design characters, as well as develop their stories, personalities, and worlds. I often write about characters going through mental struggles and tough times while trying their best to stay strong and succeed in their goals.
When I'm not working on stuff, I normally like to unwind and listen to music, play video games, watch TV, surf the web or have a (not-so) little sleep.
FAQ
How long have you been drawing?
Like most people, I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and as a child, I loved art, drawing, and generally getting creative; it was a huge passion of mine. However, for a long time, I didn't think about improving or being serious because I wasn't sure if I was or would ever be talented enough. When I was 18, because of a humanoid girl drawing I made, I started thinking about doing it seriously, and then, at 21, I officially decided I was going to be a LOT more serious and try to improve. I've still got quite a long way to go; improving my skills and getting better is my biggest priority right now, as I'm really passionate about unleashing my creativity.
What tools & programs do you use to draw?
I use a Wacom Cintiq 16 and primarily use Clip Studio Paint. I used to use Procreate on my iPhone with my finger, and I also used to use a Veikk A30 drawing tablet, which I've used in programs such as Photoshop, Krita, and Autodesk. I'd also like to try out programs like TVPaint and ToonBoom Harmony. I've also considered an iPad (also for Procreate). As for traditional art, it varies. I love using many different tools. I also formerly animated using FlipaClip, but I'm currently looking for other programs I could use.
Are you self-taught or did you go to art school?
While I did take some art classes in secondary school and an animation course near the end of college (currently looking for any other classes to take), I'd definitely consider myself self-taught, although I do have a BTEC Level 1 diploma in Creative Media Production, which technically includes animation studies and a bit of digital art and graphic design, but I didn't attend art school.
What inspires your works?
Mainly anime, Disney films and horror stories, but also music, nature, the world surrounding me, my childhood, and my own self-being. I'm all for colour, light and atmosphere.
Who are your personal art influences?
I have so many artists who inspire me.
The ones that particularly inspired my style the most would be Yamio, Loish, Pernille Ørum, Amei Zhao, ChrissaBug, Feefal, Bluebiscuits, Jenny Yu, chuwenjie, Loika and Devin Elle Kurtz.
But I also wanna shout out the late Qinni, YUNE, lilys.illustration, Derek Domnic D’Souza, DestinyBlue, Cyarin, cudlil, NanoMortis, momota_555, pasoputi and Gaziter.
Yeah, it's a lot, but the art community/industry as a whole just inspires me, haha
How did you come up with the name Reloaxa?
It's a combination of two words - 'relo' and 'AXA'. AXA is a company and I saw an advert for it on the TV & there was a song playing called 'Little Things Meana Lot' by Little Shoes Big Voice, which i really liked a lot & also, the company's slogan was 'investment for the future', which made me hope that doing what I love doing can earn me enough money not only to look after myself, but also help my loved ones & boost my career further, so i can do a lot more art and animation. I then found the word 'relo', which is a slang term meaning a family member, and I consider my work to be like a big family. So, I figured combining the two would make it even better. That's how the Reloaxa name was born.
