Ashley Stoddard

My name is Ashley Stoddard, she/her, and I’ve been an artist in the animation & games industries for over 10 years. Most of my work has been in house for studios and I’ve gotten good at building strong teams & work pipelines. Personally, I love working on fantasy IPs and anything that involves dragons. I’ve lived all across the country and love a good waterfall.
In a sentence, how would you describe your work?
I’d describe my work as adaptable - whatever a client needs, I can do!
Do you have any favorite themes you enjoy working with?
When I’m painting plein air, I love some strong sunlight to really dig into cool/warm contrasts.
What mediums do you like to work in?
I’m most comfortable in Photoshop, but I beat my head against gouache when I’m painting outside.
If you were an environmental storytelling skeleton, how do you think you'd be found?
If I were an environmental storytelling skeleton, I’d be buried on a bed of tea leaves, surrounded by my favorite mugs and a really weird collection of small animal skeletons and fancy TTRPG dice.
Do you have a dream project you'd like to work on someday?
I’ve already worked on TWO of my dream projects - The Legend of Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein! But if I could, I’d love to work on an animated adaptation of EXU: Calamity or World Beyond Number’s The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One.
