Why, hello there!
This is an about page dedicated to my work doing digital art of all sorts. If you're looking for my (horrendously outdated) about page describing my work as a writer/general things about me, click here.
Sastrugi SlayerAn original character I designed for my card game, Turf Takeover. I liked this design so much, I rendered it digitally! Sastrugi Slayer is a member of the mountain-dwelling Sastruga species, acting as a hunter for its people. | U.S.P.D.M.The Ultimate Steam Powered Destruction Machine. Scan taken straight from my card game, Turf Takeover. |

The RadianceA drawing I did of the Radiance from Hollow Knight (my favorite game!). | CaMacCaMac, the robotic canid roaming the corpses of factories in search of leftover power. Scan taken straight from my card game, Turf Takeover. |
Rosk AlkaliThe first digital drawing I did of Rosk Alkali, my fursona! He is a purple, plasma-breathing dragon hailing from the deepest reaches of space! | Sleep Paralysis AngelThose who are said to see the Sleep Paralysis Angel disappear entirely, never to be seen again. Scan taken straight from my card game, Turf Takeover. |
My interest in digital art began... well, about as far back as I can remember. Remember those animated music videos, Animusic 1 and Animusic 2, on DVD? Well I watched those religiously when I was little, to the point where I'd scuffed up the DVDs and couldn't watch them anymore. Animusic massively influenced my taste in media for the rest of my life, and even today I'm obsessed with the ways music and animation can work together to make something amazing come to life.
I want to make art that inspires others. I believe that art doesn't necessarily have to convey a "deep" social or emotional meaning---simply enjoying art for the sake of appreciating creation is enough for me. I think that inspiring other people in some way is the greatest gift you can have as an artist, and I aspire to influence someone with my work as deeply as other works of art inspire me.

Gildedguy is my favorite animator of all time and one of my greatest inspirations!
I already have a lot of experience telling stories in the format of a novel, and I want to expand my storytelling skills to art and animation. I have been fascinated with animation from a young age (see Animusic above..) and have desperately wanted to be good at it. I wanted to be good at it so bad, in fact, that I never actually practiced because I was so afraid of being bad at it!
My current goal is to let myself suck at art and animation until I'm good at it. Then, I want to use the storytelling skills I've developed through writing to tell stories in a visual format! I have a lot of great ideas that I would love to bring to life.
I hope you come with me on my journey in exploring other new forms of art! I'm excited to see the things I create in the future, and I hope I can make others excited too.
