Hey, so I'm finally working up a profile!

Up until I was roughly ten or eleven, I used to draw quite frequently. Most often, I drew "anthropomorphic characters"... not cartoons, but very lifelike. Well, an event occurred that shall remain undiscussed... and I stopped all together. A decade and a half (almost) later, I've decided to get back into it. Only problem is, I've forgotten everything I used to know... and now I'm starting over from scratch.

I've had a little success at using "cut and paste" music programs (IE eJay, AcidMusic, and Fruity Loops) to create stuff. One or more of my songs may pop up here from time to time.

I have a very keen interest in the anime/manga style, but also a "realistic" style... and of course, furry art.

In the last roughly eight years, or so... I've spent my time satisfying my need to do something "artistic" with using Photoshop (various incarnations) to cell-shade manga, and anime that friends have drawn... and the digital music creation mentioned above.

Given that I'm an amateur sci-fi writer as well (that no one shall ever see. Nope. Never... well, maybe.) I've developed a keen interest in animation... in the hopes I can some day make my stories... come to life, as it were.

Additionally, in the interest of forcing myself to learn, and because I really do love doing cell shading (computer coloring) I'll throw this out here: Anyone with a black and white, or grayscale (pencils?) image out there who would really love it all spiffy and colored and stuff, but for whatever reason can't do it themselves... just contact me send me a scan (and detailed description), and depending on how busy I am with work and the complexity of the image you'll get it back in a day to a couple weeks all spiffified!
