Artist | Hobbyist | Digital Art
United States
I am a graphic designer graduating from the University of Montevallo in May 2012. I plan to pursue an MFA in visual communication at Texas A&M University Commerce upon graduation.

In my spare time, I like to draw fanart. I have dedicated almost all of my internet time and life to Fullmetal Alchemist and Edward x Alphonse/elricest. FMA changed my life and I'll fight for the two brothers and the love they share. In addition to FMA, I'm heavily into Hetalia (Norway x Iceland), Death Note, Kuroshitsuji, and Code Geass. I also like NANA, Blue Exorcist, Naruto, D. Gray-Man, anything Yuu Watase and any yaoi by Fusanosuke Inariya.

I am a proud otaku and cosplayer. So far I've done Edward Elric (for the last 6 years...), Winry Rockbell (retired), Misa Misa (retired), Norway, and Ciel Phantomhive (black formal), Ciel in Wonderland, Shion (No. 6), and Viking Norway. My next piece will hopefully be Shiemi Moriyama in her school uniform.

Academically, I study yaoi and the Western perceived non-normative sex practices of rape and child pornography found in yaoi. My paper, "The Prevalence of Rape and Child Pornography in Yaoi" will be published by the NCUR proceedings with UNC Ashville and was presented at the 2011 National Conference for Undergraduate Research at Ithaca, NY. My newest paper, "Forbidden Love and Violent Desire: Themes in the WWII Yaoi Manga of Fusanosuke Inariya," will be presented at NCUR 2012 in Ogden, UT and at the Popular Culture Association (PCA) Conference 2012 in Boston, MA.

Current Residence: University of Montevallo, Alabama
Favourite genre of music: Jrock, anime, goth, punk
Favourite style of art: impressionist, de stijl, bauhaus, international modern, contemporary
Operating System: Mac OSX.5
MP3 player of choice: iTouch first gen
Wallpaper of choice: grey~
Favourite cartoon character: Edward Elric
Personal Quote: "love is love, no matter what form it takes"
Interests
Well, I graduated (Summa Cum Laude, first in my college, Honors Diploma, etc. yay!) but now I need a job. Which all require me to link to my portfolio. So I've spent the last week working feverishly on my website (thank God for Adobe Muse) and will hopefully have it live within a week. I'll post links, I promise.

Fabric has been ordered though the first piece that came is NOT at all what I expected. I guess it's karma for not ordering a sample. However, if all of it proves to be the same, it's going to be used as lining on the pirate coat and I'll just buy some new outer fabric. I will attempt to photograph and post pics in my scraps folder to show how it's all coming together since ghost pirate Norway is a vey unconventional Hetalia piece and as of yet, has not been attempted (or I haven't found any online) by anyone, ever. So maybe these will provide some good reference pictures for anyone wanting to undertake one of the ghost pirates.

Shiemi is most likely not happening because of the added time to the coat with the fabric mishap.

Hetalia fanart will be coming next week, I've got a piece I finished a while back to post and then I've got a special piece for Norway's birthday I'm working on after the website. Then it's back to elricest for June (may give Denmark something for his birthday, we'll see), with perhaps a surprise fanart or two.

But please don't expect too much, volume wise, for fanart in the coming months and year. The real world of being a job-seeking adult/graduate student is setting in!

It's okay. I mistook what you said for someone trolling. I tend to get a lot of hate mail over my elricest fanart. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
