For my indent I decided to scrap my original idea and start afresh, taking inspiration from a cartoon self portrait I posted on my Instagram. I traced over the doodle I posted online in photoshop to give it a cleaner digital feel and then tested out colours for the illustration...
All 6 of the images above have the same base colour, as well as purple shadow; however each is under a different setting for the layer, such as 'pin light' or 'screen'. I struggled to decide on which colour scheme to go with, until I paired the illustrations with the background colour I wanted to use.
I ended up picking out the second to last colour mix and added additional highlights to the hair and skin of the character, resembling myself. I also set the outline layer to 'dissolve' which is something I've grown rather frond of doing, as it gives the outline a textured hand drawn like look which I adore. I used a text I found pre-installed into my photoshop and played around with the sizing to produce lettering I felt balanced out the illustration on screen.

Although this personal Indent isn't very complicated as far as actual motion animation goes, I'm non the less very fond of this! I feel like it represents what I am and what I create as a creative very well, with colours and with a cartoon character that resembles me. I'm planning on using this Indent within my showreel to introduce myself, but will change the onscreen text to suit the showreel.
