I've been drawing since I was little. It is something that comes
naturally to me. Many of my family members are artistic, including
my mom and younger sister and many of my relatives. I remember writing
and illustrating my own stories when I was six, and I have simply continued
from there. I enjoy creating things.
There are many artists that I admire and have influenced me, such as
H.J. Ford who illustrated Andrew Lang's Fairy Books, J.W. Waterhouse and
other pre-Raphelites, and art nouveau artists like Alphonse Mucha.
I have also drawn upon Disney's animated features (Fantasia is my favorite),
Elfquest, anime, animated features like Batman: The Animated Series, and
numerous comic books. While I don't seek to copy a particular style,
I try to absorb different aspects to enhance my personal style. Currently,
my favorite artist has got to be Michael
Parkes.
My subject matter is inspired from the things that interest me: mythology,
role playing games, medieval arms and armor, fairy tales . . . I have pretty
eclectic taste, so the list is long and varied. Most of my drawings
are character driven - that is, I try to give a face to a role playing
character or a character in a story. I'm doing my best to work on
the weak spots in my work, such as drawing males and backgrounds and working
with color.
Random bits about me:
Personality type (Keirsey or Myers-Briggs): iNTj (so-called "scientist" or "mastermind"), NT conceptualist/rational
Astrological signs: Western, Libra. Chinese, Snake (fire).
Favorite colors: grey and green
