01) You must post these rules.
02) Each person has to share 10 things about them.
03) Answer the 10 questions asked to you and invent 10 questions the people you tag will have to answer.
04) Choose 10 people and put their icons on your journal.
05) Go to their page to inform them they are tagged.
06) Not something like "you are tagged if you read that."
07) You have to legitimately tag 10 people.
08) No tag-backs.
09) You can't say that you don't do tags.
10) YOU MUST MAKE A JOURNAL ENTRY. NO COMMENTS. Unless you're commenting about the actual entry.

10 facts about me:
1. I have an older brother
2. I have been drawing since I can remember (wish I drew better to show for it XD)
3. I drew a lot of normal animals like horses and lions and birds of prey before I started reading fantasy books which got me into drawing gryphons and dragons and the like.
4. I was in a plush-making phase for a little while, but I didn't really post any of my end results because they look horrible!
5. I love clever product design (aahhh weakness) (ie a unicorn key cover)
6. i don't really watch that many shows or read that many books or play that many games anymore T.T although they were great for inspiration.
7. I like to hoverboard in my dreams (though without an actual hoverboard, more like gliding with my feet a foot above the ground at a really fast speed)
8. I wish I had more creative dreams like some other people have --but that probably has to do with their ocs XD
9. I like to attempt to write and come up with symbolic/metaphorical stories or perhaps an epic one!
10. I used to own a shetland sheepdog/german shepherd mutt --she was so cute!


1: What are your preferences in drawing?
I don't prefer to use acrylics much anymore at the moment because I'm not that great with traditional paint anymore unless I have some sort of vision for a painting to paint to.
I love using digital and traditional mediums--it most of the time depends on someone's art that I'm inspired by --if they use digital--then I will try to imitate a palette scheme or style digitally.
2: What do you wish to achieve in your art?
I want to create a story or stories and worlds and create wonderful , beautiful and engaging art to go along with it.
3: Do you have a song, or series of songs that define you? If so why?
not really--wish I listened to more music actually--but I sometimes I do listen to a lot of movie or game soundtracks. Although sometimes I 'doodle' with the piano and play random things--although it almost always turns out sad and generic sounding XD
4: Do you have an original story?, comic, or character refs? (links , I'd love to read if you have any :D (Big Grin))
I do have some original stories I think and characters--but I put some of them away in storage. If you ever want to read any of those ideas/stories, note me!
5: Who was your first OC and what inspired you to make them? Do you still use them or have they changed?
My first OC I think was a girl with claws on her hands like Wolverine and her name was--hmm escapes me right now XD..also I think another OC I had when I was younger was a werewolf hunter. What inspired me to make the were wolf hunter was not werewolf books or shows but I think either an anime or the one and only R.L. Stine book that I read about a were cat .
6:Are there any artists you look up too? If so why?
Shinerai for their amazing dragon anatomy and solid rendering skills
Neboveria for their colors and their style and their inspirational improvment
Turtle-Arts for their development of an awesome style in such a short time and their concepts and sky-herder art--and general awesomeness.
many more, that I can't think of at the moment
7: Do you have an alter ego?
I think I'm a jerk disguised as trying to be nice...
8: How can art change the world?
people can see art and be moved by it
9: Do you want your art to leave some sort of imprint upon the memory of this planet?
I would hope so--I want it to be a good imprint though--as long as it changes the lives of other people for the better.
10: How do you see yourself as a person whom wields the power of creation?
there is definitely a responsibility for sure. I don't like abusing it. But I don't want to quench it either. =)

10 of my questions:
It's so hard for me to come up with questions T.T
1. what are your sources of inspiration?
2. why do you art?
3.what are your preferences in making art and looking at art?
4. what are the artists you look up to (I know, same question, but I'm curious!)
5.if you were to live in a different time period, which would it be.
6. what kind of stories/books do you prefer reading about.
7.other hobbies/interests?
8. do you intend to go to art school if you haven't gone to college yet. or do you intend to make a living off of your art?
9. if you weren't an artist, what would you be?
10. favorite food? XD
