Bio
Hello! Thanks for dropping by here on my DA page! Here you can find where I post most, if not all, of my works which can vary from personal digital art and animations to traditional pieces that are usually assigned by my school. I also post my cosplays and photography here, so you can expect pretty much anything from me.
I'm just your average artist/student trying to improve on their own skills because "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was!" ahem, no because in the future I plan to live off of my talents and to do that I need to work really hard and figure out what my art means to me and find my style and place in the art industry. I try to keep this account as professional as possible, but sometimes I can get carried away and forget what I want for this account. (so enjoy that when it happens!)
In my free time (what free time?) I love to immerse myself in gods beautifully created world. I love everything about what he has created for us from the plants and animals to the different landscapes and these will heavily inspire my artwork. The things that other artists create will inspire me as well and I can get quite obsessed over what other people have done to a point where I don't know what I want to do anymore, haha! School work keeps me on track so I always get pumped when the school year comes around knowing that my teachers will put my artistic talents to work, and help me to reach my limits.
I'm currently studying at the University of Hartford majoring in graphic design. I'll be pretty busy dishing out artwork assignments once school starts this year so i'm sorry, but I will hardly have time for requests, or trades. I will not be taking point commissions either since they are often not worth the time and effort I put into those pieces, but money commission openings will be announced in journals when I feel like I have time to take one or two and finish them that week. (most likely weeks... heh)

Feel free to browse through my gallery. I do not mind the so called "faving and running." You are more than welcome to! A fav is a compliment in itself, and I know it's impossible, if you have a real life, to comment on every deviantion you like! (I'm guilty of it myself! who isn't?).

Personal quote: "I do art even when I dream, it's in the subconscious."
