Bio

I am interested in Film and Animation, because ever since I was a Child, Film and Animation have been a major inspiration in my Life and have allowed me to create Comics of how I see myself creating something that could inspire many around the World. Since then I've improved a lot in my Art, my Style and my Story-Telling and would love to take on a Role where I can work with Animation. Telling Stories, inspiring others, and going in a great direction in both my Art and Story-Telling is what led me to making the best of things alongside great execution. It's been a Dream of an 8 Yr Old Child to work on Movies similar to ones I've seen as a Kid and present my ideas to many upon many.

    My Name is Eric Vico, but most of my Family likes to call me Flaco for certain reasons from when I was a child. I am a Traditional Artist of 11 years currently and a Digital Artist of 8 years, my Hobbies consist mostly of Art, working with my Father on flooring, and other activities outside of these in my spare time I share. How have I planned or already made a positive impact on the world or others based on my Artistic Pursuits will be explained here after this brief summary/introduction... ever since I was a child, I had an obsession with Stories, Film and even TV Series as well as Video Games, this massive obsession would often give me ideas of how I imagine or would interpret my own Stories inspired or based on them as they'd mostly be of my moral image/self being in the situation or conflict or events going on in said Series/Video Game/Scene, I was a weird child that had a huge love for Movies and Video Games and most of them were Cartoon related. So at 8 Yrs Old, I decided one day to draw what seemed to be revolutionary in my eyes and that was to draw a Stickman and improve how it looked by giving it a round body while also keeping the stick arms and legs, this was my first moment I changed something I was so used to seeing and thought was the biggest accomplishment and start into improving my Art-Style, once I kept doing that, I improved a lot over my years of drawing, what once went from a Stickman with a round body had become a full-on-original model/Art-Style and path that I would keep taking even today. I've improved so much in my Art that in 2016 I had begun my own Comic Series called the "Eric Shorts" which was a Comic Strip version of the FNAF Characters and even me and my Friends and other Characters from different series like Mario, Sonic and Kirby and more having a funny compilation in which I thought were funny. These Funny Comics would grow in popularity with my Friends (infamous) and would improve as I kept doing them, this also inspired my Friends to do their own comics of the same concept but in which they thought was better. And then, as I kept doing this Series, I had officially started my own Series that would take itself more seriously than the Funny Comics I made. This Comic Series that would go on for 32 Seasons in just 3/4 Years from 2015/2016 - 2018 would be called "Eric Heroes" which was a Series about Eric and his Friends going on Adventures and fighting evil and saving the World as always. This was mostly inspired by Sonic Heroes in which Eric was fast, Colton was the smarts, Daniel was the toughest, and Mateo was either or. Soon it'd grow even more characters the more friends I made on my path to working with this Series as it had been like a Dream come True, starting a Series that could inspire many around my School as I had worked with Art/Comics in my spare time during 3rd - 5th Grade. This Series would then end on a sad but memorable ending. Whenever I had finished the Series on that note, I was done with 5th Grade and moved on and had said that I'd be done with Art for a brief amount of time, it wasn't until I met a Good Friend of mines, Jovani during Summer School whom had introduced me to his ideas and was only a year or 2 Younger than me and was attending 5th or 4th Grade while I was prepped for 6th. His Ideas with my Art and introductions had led to me continuing doing Art and here I am now. I've improved a lot with my Art so far and still tend to make it my future to make Stories and Films to inspire many around the whole World by running an Animation/Art Studio of my own in the Future. How much of an Influence have you made of yourself or have brought onto others, you might ask? Well, I believe that I have influenced and inspired many people on my path to creativity and artistic ways as I have inspired my Friends to draw the same way I do and have brought a lot of attention around my School due to my skill in Art alongside entertaining others making Comics and just drawing whatever I did back then. I believe I had the biggest influence on many when I started Drawing and doing Art and was actually good at it around 8 Yrs Old in 3rd Grade, Art had been both a Major Skill and Major-Known Personality or as I’d like to call it, Known Icon around my School as I was probably the only Student (alongside many of my Friends whom had gained inspiration from my Art and tried interpreting my way of drawing in their own style or way) that was REALLY good with Art and interpreting Styles like FNAF, Sonic and many more when really I was only listening to “How to Draw” Videos on YouTube and looking at Images for Reference and to draw whatever I saw on my iPad at times (which is common with many Artists today) I never knew what tracing was and didn’t even know how to trace or what it meant so I mostly just spent my Childhood drawing whatever I saw on my Screen. I believe that my Influence on others have been inspiring and influential upon my Path in Drawing and doing Art. It’s common to know how many would see my Art once they find out I do Art and find that i’m good with it. Their Reaction never ceases to surprise me each and every time. Influence doesn’t only come from being original, it comes from an idea.

But from my beliefs, I believe that my Influence on others have been inspiring and influential upon my Path in Drawing and doing Art. It’s common to know how many would see my Art once they find out I do Art and find that i’m good with it. Their Reaction never ceases to surprise me each and every time, sure some responses and reactions are good but I find most to be dumb, but anywho, Influence doesn’t only come from being Original as I myself wasn’t always original with my Art even as a kid even though I had a lot of ideas and was very creative with my Art and Stories I imagined each and every day as a Kid, most Stories and Art I did come from the power of Inspiration, and that Power not only can be used, but it can never be taken, because there's always an idea to an Art, even when its a Story or Comic about some Kid and his Friends becoming Heroes and saving the World like Mario, Sonic, and many others that have inspired my ways of Storytelling, Storybuilding and Art in General. I often look up and appreciate those Old Stories I’ve created back then as a Kid. Inspiring others and entertaining many had been something I've wanted to do as a Kid especially when I was watching Movies and Cartoons and saw how cool concepts were and how they executed so well. But what makes me so different from others, is my ways of thinking, coming up with concepts and ideas and making something creative or deep or extensive over something relatively simple. Art and Drawing had a major impact in my life and it changed the way I plan, think, and execute my ways when writing a Story, coming up with an idea and executing something great out of either Inspiration or Hard Work or thoughts.

    What I hope to achieve thought my Art almost all of the time is improvement, a good use of Art-Style or Artwork, and a visually appealing piece almost everyone can be inspired by and show interest to.

I've improved a lot with my Art so far and still tend to make it my future to make Stories and Films to inspire many around the whole World by running an Animation/Art Studio of my own in the Future. my Plan is to go to a Decent Art College, Studying more on Animation, Filming and Arts and such for 2 - 4 Years, get a Bachelor’s Degree or something along those lines, and once I finish College, I’ll have the Knowledge and opportunity to run my own Animation Studios to bring my Ideas and Dreams to life in Theatres and at Home with Films and TV Shows like “Impeccable”, “Time-Stoppers”, “ERIC” and more to come. My Studios will offer a lot and will strive to do better than Big Major Companies like Disney and Dreamworks.

My Studios will offer a lot and will strive to do better than Big Major Companies like Disney and Dreamworks, We will do things like ask ideas from Kids - Teens alike so I can pitch their Ideas for the Big Screen and write the Stories or Ideas they come up with all around the World in a Process called the “Dream Come True” Program where our Animation Team allows ideas from Children and Teens alike and whoever gives off the Best Ideas or so to produce as a Film or so, I will write the Story and Script and will credit their Name and Idea and most of the Money the Movie makes will go to the Individual giving the Idea. My Studios will also show Social Responsibility as a Company by bringing in Free DVD’s and Merch from the Movies we produce to Hospitals for the Kids with Cancer under the “Make a Wish” Line, we will also be sure to answer all questions and honor those fighting Cancer and succeed in their Goals and Ideals. My Studio will be the Biggest and Greatest Studios a Writer, Movie-Producer, Animator and even Artist will ever want to be apart of or sign up for, as the Studio offers Long-Term Deadlines, meaning a Movie will take up to 3 - 5 Years to work on if it can't be completed in the way General Audiences will approve of its looks and Animation and such and it will offer extended amounts of time to work on a Film or TV Show and will not rush any type of work and we WILL NOT Support the Works of AI. I, the Boss and Lead Man of the Studio, will also help others with Projects and Movies of these types by helping Animators and Story-Writers and so on and so forth with Ideas, Key Animation, and Key Framing that will be used or needed in the works of the Project.I am interested in Film because ever since I was a Child, Film and Animation have been a Major Inspiration in my Life and have allowed me to create Comics of how I see myself creating something that could inspire many around the World.

Now i’m 17 yrs old and am still writing stories while rarely making Comics, I still do Illustrations of Characters both my own and from Series I’ve grown to love as a Kid, I now look back at the Past and appreciate those great moments I used to love and call Home as a Kid, that feeling to be free, fun-loving and passionate about the Stories I made and did back then, I still am Passionate about the Stories I do today but still. It always felt great to be a Kid who loved showing his creativity and art often to his Friends and others.

And that was when I decided to keep doing what I was doing for improvement, I practiced more and more with my Art and got better with my Art as I kept drawing as years passed, I even inspired my Friends who weren't so different with interest and inspiration like I was. Inspiring others and entertaining many had been something I've wanted to do as a Kid especially when I was watching Movies and saw how cool concepts were and how they executed so well.

    Ever since I was a Child, I had an obsession with Stories, Film and even TV Series as well as Video Games, this massive obsession would often give me ideas of how I imagine or would interpret my own Stories inspired and based on them and they'd mostly be of my moral image/self being in the Situation or Conflict or events going on in said Series/Video Game/Scene, I was a Weird Child that had a Huge Love for Movies and Video Games and most of them were Cartoon related. So at 8 Yrs Old, I decided one day to draw what I seemed to be revolutionary at least in my eyes and that was to draw a Stickman and improve how it looked by giving it a round body while also keeping the Stick Arms and Legs, this was my first moment I changed something I was so used to seeing and thought was the biggest accomplishment and start into improving my Art-Style, once I kept doing that, I improved a lot over my years of drawing, what once went from a Stickman with a Round Body had become a Full on Original Model/Art Style and path that I would keep taking even today. I've improved so much in my Art that in 2016 I had begun my own Comic Series called the "Eric Shorts" which was a Comic Strip version of the FNAF Characters and even me and my Friends and other Characters from different series like Mario, Sonic and Kirby and more having a funny compilation in which I thought were funny. These Funny Comics would grow in popularity with my Friends (infamous) and would improve as I kept doing them, this also inspired my Friends to do their own comics of the same concept but in which they thought was better. And then, as I kept doing this Series, I had officially started my own Series that would take itself more seriously than the Funny Comics I made. This Comic Series that would go on for 32 Seasons in just 3/4 Years from 2015/2016 - 2018 would be called "Eric Heroes" which was a Series about Eric and his Friends going on Adventures and fighting evil and saving the World as always. This was mostly inspired by Sonic Heroes in which Eric was fast, Colton was the smarts, Daniel was the toughest, and Mateo was either or. Soon it'd grow even more characters the more friends I made on my path to working with this Series as it had been like a Dream come True, starting a Series that could inspire many around my School as I had worked with Art/Comics in my spare time during 3rd - 5th Grade. This Series would then end on a sad but memorable ending. Whenever I had finished the Series on that Note, I was done with 5th Grade and moved on and had said that I'd be done with Art for a brief amount of time, it wasn't until I met a Good Friend of mines, Jovani during Summer School whom had introduced me to his ideas and was only a year or 2 Younger than me and was attending 5th or 4th Grade while I was prepped for 6th. His Ideas with my Art and introductions had led to me continuing doing Art and here I am now. I've improved a lot with my Art so far and still tend to make it my future to make Stories and Films to inspire many around the whole World by running an Animation/Art Studio of my own in the Future.

    Ever since I was a Child, I had an obsession with Stories, Film, TV Series and Video Games, this massive obsession would often give me ideas of how I imagine or would interpret my own Stories inspired and based on them and they'd consist myself being in the Conflict of said events going on in said Series. So at 8 Yrs Old, I decided one day to draw what I seemed to be revolutionary at least in my eyes and that was to draw a Stickman and improve how it looked by giving it a round body while also keeping the Stick Arms and Legs, this was my first moment I changed something I was used to seeing and thought was my biggest accomplishment into improving my Art-Style, once I kept doing that, I improved a lot, what once went from a Stickman with a Round Body had become a Full-on-Original Style that I would keep using even today. I've improved so much in Art that in 2016 I began my own Comic Series called "Eric Shorts" which was a Comic-Strip Comedy of me and my Friends and other Characters from different series like Mario, Sonic and more having a funny compilation in which I thought were funny. These Funny Comics would grow in popularity with my Friends and would improve as I kept doing them, this also inspired my Friends to do their own comics of the same concept but in which they thought was better. And then, as I kept doing this Series, I had officially started my own Series that would take itself more seriously than the Funny Comics I made.

From my beliefs, I believe that my Influence on others have been inspiring and influential upon my Path in Drawing and doing Art. It’s common to know how many would see my Art once they find out I do Art and find that i’m good with it. Their Reaction never ceases to surprise me each and every time, sure some responses and reactions are good, Influence doesn’t only come from being Original as I myself wasn’t always original with my Art even as a kid even though I had a lot of ideas and was very creative with my Art and Stories I imagined each and every day as a Kid, most Stories and Art I did come from the power of Inspiration, and that Power not only can be used, but it can never be taken, because there's always an idea to an Art, even when its a Story or Comic about some Kid and his Friends becoming Heroes and saving the World like Mario, Sonic, and many others that have inspired my ways of Storytelling, Storybuilding and Art in General

    Back then in 2020 of July during COVID, it was my Brother's Birthday, or at least, a Day after his Birthday had past as you'd like to call it. Me and my Brother were in our Room talking and playing together as we had planned some things out like how we could execute a Story we were doing together (it was with our Plushes or whatever) and what we could do as Quarantine was going on, and we went outside of our Room to go see our Dad in his Room and we hear him crying as we had found out the Bad News, our Good Uncle Andres, whom was from our Dad's Side of the Family and was fighting a Sickness no one knew of nor could identify. And from that day forward I had spent almost every morning of my Life from 2020 - 2021 waking up to remember him immediately or crying knowing that I've made a Mistake. Before he passed my Dad had asked me to try calling him by introducing Google Hangouts while he was still awake and my Older Cousins were calling my Dad often to let him know of how Andres was doing while he was sick, and so my Dad had asked me once to try signing him in to Google Hangouts to speak with Andres as Facetime wasn't working much and so I, being lazy or doing whatever I was doing at the time, disliking his Interruption tried pretending or signing him up and it failed, as my Dad said that we could try it next time to my Eldest Cousins, only to realize that that could've been the last time he would've been able to speak with my Uncle before death. And since then I had blamed myself and felt guilty and unworthy of whatever I was given or rewarded. I mourned and grieved so much for him that seeing a Photo of him made me hate myself and look away in Regret and Guilt for myself. I tried coping many times only to realize that it wasn't working for me because I couldn't stop thinking of him, I even tried talking of something else or dodging talk about him when my Dad brought him up in a Conversation with me as we were going with this Grief. I grieved so much and so hard that I thought of how my Eldest Cousins were coping with this, who would my Cousins look up to now, who was going to help my Cousin Alondra in her darkest times and how I was going to get over my Guilt. I didn't help my Dad speak with his own Brother because of my Selfishness and Greed, thinking that everything was going to be okay and that Tio Andres was going to survive this and that the sickness wasn't that bad when really it was. I spent almost every day thinking of him because I thought if I forgot who he was, part of him would die in the Afterlife or in me. I felt as if I were the one to be judged for such a small crime I've committed.
    Ryan Stripling “Words Create Worlds” Scholarship for Young Writers
    I am interested in Film because ever since I was a Child, Film and Animation have been a Major Inspiration in my Life and have allowed me to create Comics of how I see myself creating something that could inspire many around the World. Since then I've improved a lot in my Art, my Style and my Story-Telling and would love to take on a Role where I can work with Animation. Telling Stories, inspiring others, and going in a Great Direction in both my Art and Story-Telling is what led me to making the best of things alongside Great Execution. It's been a Dream of an 8 Yr Old Child to work on Movies similar to ones I've seen as a Kid and present my ideas to many upon many. As for Writing… Writing has been something that's always helped me develop a good Story especially when I was working with Comics whenever I was 8/9 Years Old, What had started from a Comic Stripped Inspired Series of Funny Gags and Compilations to a Series that took itself seriously as there was Character Development in certain episodes and such that was, “Eric Heroes”. I had developed an improvement both in Writing and coming up with Ideas for Stories that I could work with. I had started writing at such a Young and Early Age that at first, I didn’t care about things like Vocabulary and Spelling and such as all I wanted to see was progress, Action and how a Scene would execute, sure im like that today a bit but I’ve really grown as much to care more for how I write and execute a moment or scene in a Film or Comic or even anything I work on. Ever since I was a Child, I had an obsession with Stories, Film and even TV Series as well as Video Games, this massive obsession would often give me ideas of how I imagine or would interpret my own Stories inspired and based on them and they'd mostly be of my moral image/self being in the Situation or Conflict or events going on in said Series/Video Game/Scene, I was a Weird Child that had a Huge Love for Movies and Video Games and most of them were Cartoon related.
