Artist | Digital Art

United States

I'm a 19 year old female currently living in Texas, though I spend most of my life in Florida. I spend a lot of my time reading, drawing, or on Chickensmoothie.

Most of my art will be dragons, as that is what I spend the most time developing. I may not submit art a whole lot and my style looks fairly simple, but each full-color piece takes 2 hours at the least, and often times more. I cannot just sit down and force myself to draw, I draw when I an ready to draw. I'm a self-taught artist and I'm always looking for ways to improve. I will also plan to one day learn to do real backgrounds, so if you have pointers on beginning in backgrounds I wouldn't mind a few tips.

I only watch people I'm interested in and fave pictures I really like. And at the same time I deeply appreciate all favs and watches I get as well as comments, even if I don't reply. I won't add you as a friend unless I know you on a deep personal level, there are few people I really know as true friends, I'm just not easy to crack open on that level.

I normally prefer to keep to myself, though I'm quite happy to have intelligent conversations with people. Yes I'm a bit socially awkward so my people skills aren't the best, I've been working on it. I'm a calm, and rather passive person, who can look at things unbiasedly and understand all points of an argument, while still retaining my own views on it. My spelling and grammar isn't always perfect, but if you do see something wrong and feel the need to point it out please do so politely and let me know what it is so I can fix it.

I often think things through too thoroughly or over-think them. I also tend to over-explain on once I get into a topic that I've given a lot of thought. I also seem to get distracted easliy if I have a lot of things going on I may accidentally forgot to respond to something. I'm also someone who is willing to see the good side in everyone before the bad, even trolls. It may sometimes get me more trouble than its worth, but thats just the kind of person I am and there is no point denying it. :3

In mid-2011 I joined the military, and I am now part of the US Coast Guard. Please understand I work 8+ hours on weekdays and that my work is very stressful. If there is something you would like to say or talk to me about concerning this I would appreciate a note from you.

Cookies for anyone who bothered to read that, I'm glad you take an interest c:
