I like to call myself an artist.
I've been drawing since before I can remember. I didn't draw very well at the time. But I have gotten better since then.
Early on in life, I wanted to make videogames, but coding was too much for my little brain, so I dedicated my time on learning to design and create characters.
I spent a lot of time working to become a concept artist for games, but was never able to go to college for art. So I tried many ways to get an income as an artist. *insert joke on how artists are poor here*
I still think my art is not as good as I want it to be. I believe I could have been so much better if I had dedicated my art in different ways, and now I'm caught in-between a bunch of different artistic skill sets, never being too great at any of them.
I had a choice. become a cartoonist, or sell my soul and do furry commissions, which was a tempting offer.
I made the morally correct decision. It also happened to be the financially bankrupt one. Now I attempt to make funny comics.
Now when people laugh at my art, it will be intentional.
While I love art, I also love story telling.
Through my life I have created outlines to many different stories and worlds.
When I was eight years old, I designed a comic book and wrote a whole issue with it. I still have that comic.
I wrote a book, and published it through Barnes&Noble, because it was rejected everywhere else.
I also made a videogame through RPGMaker and released it on steam.
