Storyboard of a man on stage, sitting in a chair and reading a book. The stage is set to look like a living room around Christmastime.

Storyboard panel of an elf in a flower shop holding a potted plant and looking at a woman in the foreground. The "A Lot Like Comedy" logo is watermarked in the top left corner, along with the "Autumn English" logo on the top right corner.

An image showing screenshots of an animation from multiple stages of production. From left to right, there is the animatic stage, the rough animation stage, the cleaned up and colored animation on top of a background, the first pass at compositing, and then the "final result." Text reads, "responsible for storyboards, animatic, rough animation, cleanup, background illustration, and compositing. Character designs, prop designs, and set designs belong to Daria Cohen."

An image showing a background of a gloomy, rainy, theater. We see the multiple stages of production this background went through: from storyboard, to flat colors, to fully composited with added lighting effects. Text on the bottom reads, "responsible for all visuals."

Happy (belated) #portfolioday ! 🕸️💛 I’m an animator, story artist, and compositor with an award-winning film releasing in May! I’m always eager to hear about new freelance or full-time roles, and I am currently looking for production assistant positions!

I do art for March every year to celebrate my birthday! In this one, I sit on a giant glowing green-tinted star as I stare up into the sky. I’m wearing a long poofy green dress with ruffles spilling out the bottom. A fleet of smaller stars move upwards behind me. The word “March” is above it all as a constellation spelled out in stars.

A piece of my original character pulling hard on a rope as pink lasers blast past him. He stands on a ruined, dusty planet with broken pillars and rocks surrounding him. Stars shimmer behind him as a sun glows from over the hill. The character has a fierce, angry expression on his face. He stares viciously at the source of the lasers off screen.

Part of a poster for my 2025 Halloween comic Heads & Horsetails! In the piece, the Headless Horseman towers above three friends, light shining through the big smile of his pumpkin head. In his giant hand, the three friends hold on tight. One in a sweatshirt looks up at him nervously. A bear in a scarf holds on tight and looks up fearfully. A sentient checker piece holds on loosely and smiles wide, pointing a finger to the sky. Behind the group is a swirling green mass akin to an oil spill. The silhouette of a horse head looms ominously in the background.

A set of 13 alternate clothes for my character Emily. The first 7 are casual everyday outfits, one for each day of the week. What follows are sleep clothes, date clothes, beach wear, a fall outfit, a winter outfit, and a raincoat.

Happy #portfolioday !!

Castellan says, “Er… No. This is ‘The Night Before Christmas.’” Mare replies from off screen, “What? Oh..” Castellan continues, “Not ‘The NightMARE Before Christmas.’”

Mare pops up next to him, grinning goofily. “The night what?”

A very special holiday reading with Castellan… 🎄 (Part 3/3)

MARE-y Christmas and Happy Holidays to all who celebrate! Hope you have a very punny New Year too :)

Castellan squints at something off screen as the noises continue.

Mare is stirring a big pot of “festive goo.”

“Mare why do you have to do that right now.”

“I’m makin’ some festive goo for the pumpkin king to rise out of! I thought we’d need it for the production.”

A very special holiday reading with Castellan… 🎄 (Part 2/3)

Title card reads, “A reading of ‘The Night Before Christmas’… with Castellan.”

Castellan sits on a stage decorated to look like a living room. “Oh! Hello there. Nice of you to scroll by this Christmas Eve.”

“Ahem. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house… not a creature was stirring, not even a m—“

Castellan is interrupted by gloopy stirring noises.

Oh my gosh the Pale Man, that’s so real 😂 This is not a scary movie at all, but I always thought Little Shop of Horrors would be the scariest thing ever just from the premise, but I ended up walking away being obsessed with the Audrey 2 puppet haha

Reposting this because it might interest some people! Here’s a little more insight on why I decided to make an #animatedfilm about a creature actor and a costume designer 🪡🎭

Aw, thank you so much!! But yes it absolutely is 😆💚 The art of puppeteering and creature acting (be it on stage or in movies) is super fascinating to me! I think seeing a film and knowing how they made the monster has allowed me to appreciate scary movies a lot more over the years.

You're so welcome!! Love the work you guys are doing :D

Thank you so much to everyone who liked and shared PERFECT CASTING this #indieanimationday !
