I like simple art with elegant lines as well as highly detailed art. I adore art with darker themes or colors as well. While I have the greatest respect for traditional artists, I believe that art takes many forms, whether it is a painting, a movie, a sculpture, a game, a photo, a costume, 3D modelling, animation, a book or a drawing. It is something that was inspired by other art or the beauty we find in the world and we express it as best as we can through whatever methods we can. So I enjoy all types and forms of art and you will find that evident in my Favorites and hopefully in my gallery. All that matters is that you do your best with your art in whatever way you can and that it comes from your heart, soul and mind.
I have recently come back to DA full-time and began submitting works in the form of wallpapers and fanfics thanks to Mass Effect 3. I am starting to learn 3D model manipulation at the moment, but honestly I will express whatever feelings I have in whatever way I need to through whatever medium I feel is appropriate :)
Personal: I am 25 and have been happily married for 6 years with two kids.. I'm occasionally in college with the career goal of becoming a Game Writer and working on a novel I hope to finish by the end of 2014.
