About the Artist

Alan Cajamarca was born in Queens, NYC in 2005 to immigrant parents. He is a Senior at Information Technology High School and is expected to graduate in June of 2023. This is his first time doing any sort of internship but has had experience in the workforce. He once worked as a kitchen staff for a Taiwaneese restaurant. He’s been into drawing and creating characters from video game inspirations like Call of Duty, Five Nights at Freddys, etc. Anime shows like Attack on Titan and Death Note have also inspired him into the interest in designing characters. So far from this experience he’s learned the art of making fictional characters and what artistic features make them iconic like their hair, clothes, height and so much more, He was also taught the behind the scenes of making figures, faces, hands and ect. Alan has no regrets at this wonderful opportunity he was granted and pursued.

Sketch

This is Ionia, an AI character. Ionia is a sentient artificial intelligence system malware originally created by Quantum AI programers in the 22nd century. Originally Ionia was created to boost futuristic chip neuro-augmented war soldiers, the chips are located at the top beginning of the spinal cord and are of great use to assist the soldier in battle. However the plan took a turn for the worst when Ionias research facility in Singapore was raided by terrorists after the heist Ionia was stolen from her faculty, the terrorist group reprogramed it into an artificial intelligent virus to use under the group's control. Their main target is the augmented accessible warfare, this is incredibly dangerous as this ai is in the hands of terrorists which have access to any augmented soldiers neuro-augment chips, potentially mind controlling them and turning a soldier rouge under terrorist control along with any other ai military arsenal, removing the chip is very dangerous as it can kill the soldier almost 100% of the time. Luckily for the rest of humanity the group is very limited to what they can do with Ionia since the creators made the bot very difficult to use, meaning humans are safe… for now.
