All of my art is made with love.I am a freshman studying illustration at the College for Creative Studies, and I look forward to becoming a graphic novelist.
I always read comments, even if I don't respond! <3
So what makes me tick?
I'm currently huge in the fandom of Yu-Gi-Oh, thanks to LK's abridged series. Homestuck is intense. Also, MLP:FiM is the best artist fandom to walk the earth.
When working on art, I listen to reruns of the podcast WhaChow.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
As an impressionable child drawn into the world of Japanese comics and cartoons, I quickly picked up on the ability to create characters and plot out stories. I grew up drawing mostly animals from my obsession with horses, but around eighth grade, I began developing my own style of manga-like drawings. I aspire to be a graphic novelist when I complete my work in college, and I hope that my career as an illustrator does not imply simply being a slave to my customer. I hope to find enjoyment in all of the work that I do.
My work mainly revolves around drawing the figure, and I have developed a sketching technique for doing so. Because I mainly work on the computer or with graphite pencil, I am not so much of a 'traditional painter' as most illustators are. I find paint to be quite unforgiving and capricious. Therefore, I prefer to take my work digital, where I can easily correct mistakes and work experimentally. I also find that digital work leaves more time in my schedule, so I can finish works faster and have more time to add smaller details. I enjoy the freedom given by the simple click on a pallete, and I dislike being forced to physically mix colors of messy paint.
I am currently inspired by fellow artists on deviantART.com, and I greatly suggest this community to any aspiring artist looking for help or suggestions. At this moment, I am developing a graphic novel series I call Soulbane. I have been creating and recreating the plot and characters for about four years now, and I am currently wrapping up my designs of the characters to a final form. A challenge that I have in doing this is fashion design for the characters. However, I am constantly looking up clothing references for ideas. During summer break this year, I hope to begin working on the actual series itself. It will be drawn in traditional manga format; that is, it will read from right to left. In addition to this work, I often draw fanart of my favorite anime series in my spare time. I am also soon minoring in Entertainment Arts to get some animation experience under my belt, as I have made minor animations frame-by-frame in Photoshop already.
