My Bio

Fair warning / apology in advance that I'm not exactly great socially. I'm better online than in person, but I still have some degree of social anxiety, which sometimes makes me uneasy talking with people who I don't know well. So if conversation seems awkward, I promise it's nothing personal; it's just me being bad at this!


Thanks in advance for your patience with me!


Anyway.


I draw my own work, and I draw fanart, and I animate a bit. I'm working on my own animated series, but it's got a long way to go before that's ready to see the light of day! I'm trying to branch out into my own personal story work more, but... I feel like I'm better known for my Disney Dogs fanart than anything else, still!


My girlfriend is curmudgeoncorgi and I love her :heart: And you should totally follow her gallery too, if you're not already.


My main interests, you might be able to tell, are animated movies and shows; and, in fact, I have a passion for animation as a whole, especially traditional drawn animation. And I've taken a professional course in storyboarding and am eager to enter the creative industry; so if you have a project that needs a storyboard artist, I might be your guy! Shoot a message my way if you think I could help ^^


I'm also a big fan of dogs in general, though I've never owned one myself. I also highly enjoy the 90s Sci-Fi TV show Babylon 5, amongst various other interests... I'm not gonna list, that would probably just end up a mess! I used to be a huge BIONICLE and Star Wars nerd in my teens, but not so much anymore... though they still find their way into my gallery from time to time, even so!


And above all of that, I'm a committed Christian, who loves Jesus Christ as my saviour and Lord. And, despite failing sometimes, I do my best to live as He commanded, by loving others and not judging.



***



Art requests are only open to a few close friends.


Commissions are a maybe; I don't have a price guide or anything, but if you want to pay me to draw / animate something, come shoot a message my way and we can negotiate.


I'm particularly willing to contribute to group animation projects, either as animator or as storyboard artist; again, drop a message, let me know, and we'll see what we can work out ^^

And there we go! 100* old pictures moved from storage back to my main gallery... and not only that, but new commentary added beneath each of them! Nothing really new, just more up-to-date thoughts on how I feel about some of them now. In any case, feel free to take a browse through my old stuff** if you're feeling nostalgic! (*) - It did at first turn out at 101, completely without trying, which I thought was a fun acknowledgement of my old screenname... but I decided against one of them at the last minute which spoiled that in-joke! (**) - In spite of my best efforts not everything in my gallery is in order; for some reason dragging the deviations around inside the gallery folders sometimes affects *other* files in the folder too, so moving one into place will shove another unrelated deviation out of place for no reason I can discern. DA working well xD I may consider a few more to be added back to gallery at a later date, there were some that I was on the fence about bringing back

Looking back at my old artwork... I realise how much of it looks as if the head and the body of a lot of characters were drawn by different people! The reason being that I enjoyed drawing heads and faces, so I put a lot of effort into them... then once I got to the torso and so on I didn't find them interesting so I just rushed through the rest of it. It wasn't an *all* the time thing, but like... in some pictures even the line quality is so different that it's obvious which part I was putting effort into and which I wasn't! Another habit that I like to think I've moved past these days... xD

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fun day.

Thanks! :D It was pretty great, yeah; my Dad and I went to the Disney 100 exhibition in London, which was a really interesting time ^^

That’s cool to hear.
