Adding fine art stuff

Sun Jul 19, 2009, 10:28 PM

Mood: Content

Since I think it is too much of a hassle to have a separate account for my life studies. I'm just going to post it all here as well. May change in the future, but for now will just be uploading stuff here.

I've been drawing ever since I could remember. Never really considered being an artist until I saw the movie Beauty and the Beast, and a little push from a friend that I decided I wanted to be an animator.

Went to school and well tried both computer and 2d animation and well that didn't work out. I couldn't stand working on the same animation over and over, adding frames deleting frames just so it can move just right. Drove me insane I'm sure things have changed in animation since then, but honestly it just wasn't for me. Then I tried illustration and I found love in it, and it suited me just fine.

I mostly due greeting card designs, but I have been trying to expand my horizons and trying different things. This is where I dump my personal pieces. I am rediscovering my love of doing fine art as well. I love to do work from life and portraits. Would love to upload them here but will most likely create a separate deviant art account for that stuff since I think it won't really fit in here.

As if all the stuff fits here as it is.

I love anime, manga, and RPG video games (I love NIS strategical RPGS). I know my stuff is heavily influenced by it, either consciously or unconsciously I don't do it on purpose somethimes it just turns out that way.

A lot of what I draw here is inspired by either music random sketches I randomly did on a piece of paper the size of a reciept. But most likely are characters from my stories that I write on the side.
