I'm an artist from good ole New Zealand. Born and raised in a rural South Westland town, with the ocean on our front step and the Woods on our back, where it rains a good 70 per cent of the year, lmao.
I mostly draw my own characters, but on the odd occasion, I'll draw some fan art, post a commission, or share some of my work from school.
Graduated with a Certificate in Creative Media & Diploma in Animation
Studying Year 2 Bachelors
Even though she's now a story character more than anything else, Lilith was once a character I considered a part of me and she has helped me in my hardest moments in life.
Lilith is everything I wanted to be in the future; Strong, Brave, Kind and maybe a redhead lol. I might not have become *exactly* like Lilith, but I like to think I've achieved some likeness to her. Except for the Red hair lol, dye doesn't stick in my hair ಠ◡ಠ
Rata is another sona of mine, this time for the Wings of Fire series! I designed them after seeing a challange online of people drawing a character based on their environment and even though they've taken a bit of a backseat while I've been studying, I do plan on making more content with them in the future!
Glitched is my main sona representing the more positive aspects of myself. I kinda consider them my truesona with some of the details representing my mental health and pains in my life.
The gold markings are based on Kintsugi, a japanese pottery art aimed at fixing broken pieces of pottery with gold and making something new out of it. These markings are meant to show my mental health and how its affected me in the past and how I'm healing for the future.
Characters
I've made Oc's for my entire life but my first ever one was Cynder!
Theres nothing I enjoy more than creating characters and writing stories for them. I live with worlds inside my head lol
Not all of my OC's were made by me. Some were made by others and can be found in the characters "ownership" tab
I don't really have a favourite OC but I'd say the ones I draw the most, would be Lilith, My Teifling Sona and Axlan
Almost all of my OC's are based on parts of my country. Goodluck trying to find what those parts are tho lmao
Interests
I love anthing animation! Studio Ghibli, Castlevania and various other artists being my main source of inspiration and motivation for my work!
I love anything mythology related and will spend hours researching different myths that fascinate me!
I've recently found a new fascination in birds, mostly corvids and owls and like collecting anything related to them.
Music is my biggest motivator when it comes to art. I mostly listen to songs that cause me to daydream or tell stories in their lyrics
My favourite colours are Deep Greens, Crimson and Shades of Black. But I obsess over nature based aesthetics and tend to spend hours walking just to listen to nature.
Trivia
I'm entierly self taught when it comes to art, spending most of my childhood making characters. I have been studying for over a year now to learn animation and currently hold a Certificate in Creative Media.
I might obsess over art, animation, and character creation, but I also love to play video games, going to the gym and going on long walks
I Like to think that I got my creativity from my Great Grand Mother who paints and makes porcelain dolls and my Aunt who draws amazing portraits!
I'm currently away from home, having moved from the coast to the City for study, but I hope to be able to make enough money from this to be able to live comfortably with friends.
