_{Above, panel from my Cardcaptor Iceburg doujinshi}

Currently attending an art school studying illustration. Hoping to specialize in comics and graphic novels.

Some of my many fandoms and loves: One Piece, Detective Conan/Magic Kaito, DC Comics (+Young Justice), The Flash, Lord of the Rings (Tolkien in general- especially hobbits), Cardcaptor Sakura, Fushigi Yuugi (SS & GK), Harry Potter, Mulan, Castle, Rurouni Kenshin, Pooh Bear, My Little Pony xD, Homestuck, Shugo Chara, Ace Attorney and more...

Favourite style of art: comics (both western & manga) followed closely by everything else -I also write and I enjoy painting
Favourite cartoon character: Franky
Personal Quote: "Too few fans really try to understand their favorite characters. It's sad. They're missing out."

"YO STRANGER. WILL YOU TALK TO ME?"
Sure! If you open up a good conversation opportunity I'll reply away. I like meeting new people, especially fellow fans.

WHO IS THAT IN YOUR ICON?
Temporarily, Luffy! Larry Butz from the Ace Attorney games. I'm part of the Ace Attorney Icon Family created by ~midori-kitty For more information click here: [link]

YOUR OTP IS GUYxGUY. ARE YOU A YAOI FANGIRL?
Actually, no, that wouldn't be an accurate way to describe me. First of all, I like way too many hetero pairings to fit the part. Unlike the stereotype for fangirls I don't slash all over the place and I don't pair characters up "because they're hot together." I'm actually very particular about who I pair with who. I usually prefer canon pairings, and most canon pairings happen to be straight. I like to call myself a "shipper who is cool with GLBT as long as it is canon or makes sense to me" instead of a yaoi or yuri fan. (Also I'm not so crazy about the unrealistic ways yaoi and yuri portrays the GLBT community...)
In the case of stories like One Piece where there aren't really canon pairings, I stop and think a lot about the characters and compatibility before declaring myself a fan of whatever pairing. I have some friends who love yaoi and other friends who hate it.

DO YOU HAVE AN ARTISTIC MISSION OR PHILOSOPHY?
A lot of what you'll find here on my DA account right now was made for fun. There's a lot of fanart. I tend to like to draw things that are cute and/or funny, things that make me- and hopefully my audience smile.
On a less obvious note, there are certain pieces and projects, even including some fanart projects like doujinshi, that I create with a deeper message or intention in mind. I have been writing longer than I have been drawing, so I really enjoy making things with stories to them (thus the love of comics) and I like to try making people think. My Cardcaptor Iceburg doujinshi is an example of a fan project that, by the end of the story, will address some more serious subjects instead of merely standing as a comedy.

DO YOU TAKE ART REQUESTS OR ART TRADES?
I only offer them occasionally. I prefer to do these with friends.

DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS?
If you seriously want to commission me, please send me a note. I don't do commissions on a regular basis because I'm not actually sure if any one would want one. If I have the time though, I'd be happy to do commissions- and for cheap too.
