- My Focuses: Anime Artist, Web Developer, Novelist, General Web Designer
- What I do: I can't exactly tell you my skills or talents since I am not a very secure person (I don't think I do anything very well). But I can tell you some of my interests/hobbies (see section below).
- Operating System: Linux
- My Interests: Drawing (anime/manga/still life/pretty much anything), reading (fantasy is my favorite genre), writing (fictional novel/short stories), editing (papers/novels/short stories), web developing and design (I'm a code monkey - I use notepad), organizing (yes, I have slight OCD), solving math equations (especially algebra - when I'm bored sometimes I'll just pick up a math book and do some problems), hunting (pheasants in ND with a 12 gauge), listening to music (most genres), playing post-based RPGs (current addiction is Fangs of Crimson - one a friend and I created), making themes for Windows XP (only a few), creating patterns (I use graphing paper mostly), talking to my brother (he's in the Army, so we can't talk often), watching movies (most genres), going on Gaia (to RP and dress up avatars - though not nearly as frequently as I used to), going on DeviantArt (browsing, posting, etc), doing homework (yes, it CAN be fun), going to lectures (honest. I love them), playing guitar (I got an electric for Christmas and have been teaching myself - I know and can switch quickly between 7 chords now), thinking (the subject varies, but lately it's been a lot about my future), surfing the web (very distracting), doing things just to see people's reactions (it's interesting), fighting (physically - wrestling around), debating (I teach and learn a lot), playing games (see that section), and more but I've taken up enough space as it is.
- Writers I like: Emily Dickinson (poetry), Edgar Allan Poe (short stories), Piers Anthony (novels)
- Styles I like: Impressionism is my favorite
- Movies I like: Pride and Prejudice is my favorite movie, and aside from that I've seen too many movies to list the ones I like.
- Bands I like: My favorite band is the Beatles. Others that I like include Arlo Guthry, Beach Boys, Bee Gees, BJ Thomas, Black Crows, Blood Sweat & Tears, Blues Brothers, Bob Marley, Byrds, Chicago, Chuck Berry, Cowboy Junkies, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Donna Summer, Elton John, Emma Shapplin, Enya, Evanescence, Foreigner, Guns N' Roses, Hawk Nelson, Herman's Hermits, Jason Mraz, Led Zepplin, Men Without Hats, MercyMe, Moby, Newsboys, Nickelback, Nirvana, Peder Eide, Pink Floyd, Queen, Rascal Flatts, Ray Charles, Simon & Garfunkel, Sly and the Family Stone, Taylor Swift, The Animals, The Click Five, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Tom Jones, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Within Temptation, and ZOE Girl.
- Music I like: My favorite genre is Oldies, though I am quite eclectic. I hate rap and thrash, but most other genres are appealing to me (Rock & Roll, Gospel, Country, Western, Rock, Pop, Classical, Techno, Hard Rock, Opera, R&B, Jazz, even some Goth Metal).
- Games I like: Guitar Hero (PS2); Rock Band (Xbox360); Heroes of Might and Magic IV, Oblivion, Spider Solitaire, Risk (computer); Risk (board); 10,000 (dice); 500 Rummy (cards)
- Music Player: I have a Sansa, but I wish I had a Zune
Comments
I hope you keep a sketchbook (I keep little A5 ones lying around and a few A4).
The more you draw the better you will get, it's one of the few disciplines where you can see the proof (even page-to-page in some of my old ones)!
I can't wait to see more.
Oh and never stop observing, both the real world and the work of others (and the tricks they employ)
