My self-summary
I'm an artist. And an animator. And a roleplayer. And if this horribly fragmented piece of text has bugged you yet.. Gimme a call, I'm free on weekends. No, seriously.

In the shortest words, those three describe me best, at least with what I like and do with my time. I'm working on developing my own hand-drawn animation series, while I attend the last semester of art school, and just generally figuring out what I want to do with my life.

I'm also a nice guy, with a really BAD sense of humor. (As you can see above. Random, sometimes stuck in the gutter, occasionally clever off the cuff, but usually a groaner.)

I'm friendly, but too many people say that, so I couldn't use it as an adjective. (Thanks thesaurus.com!)

I am concentrated, amiable, and calm
What I’m doing with my life
I currently go to Kendall College of Art & Design, where due to an overabundance of transfer credits with gaps in the program, I'm moving up the yearly-ranks in about half the time. I'm heading into my final semester, working on my thesis project, and figuring out where this all will get me.

I'm in the 2D Digital Animation department, which is generally focused around flash-based cartoons, but I'm also applying more traditional principles to my work, (I've built up a pretty big library of animation and character design books, teaching myself a lot..) to try and get as close to 'real' hand-drawn animation as I can. (I'm *this* close to buying one of those animation discs with the peg-bars..) I'm debating grad school at a more animation-focused school, but it really depends on where I can take this when I've graduated in the spring.
I’m really good at
Art. I'm an artist, and an amatuer writer, so you could also say expression.

Plus, artistically, I'm really good at drawing dinosaurs, dragons, anthropomorphics, fantasy monsters. I work best with stylized, dynamic characters designed for animation and comic books, but I'm pretty good with realistic digital painting as well.

I've been doing animation for years, so the style comes easily, and I've got almost every basic skill in the bag. (Some take a little more effort than others, but that's WHY I'm in school, isn't it?)
The first things people usually notice about me
My size. I'm a big guy, kinda overweight, but hey, who isn't, right? I'm big in a way that says 'dense' more than 'blubbery', people are surprised when I tell them my weight. I'm not kidding when I say I'm one of those big-boned types. (Eric Cartman wishes he had my build.) If I lost every pound of fat on me, I doubt I would weigh less than 250. 210 at minimum.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
A. Tough choice. Between the Vorkosigan series, Tolkien stuff, Star Trek, and WarCraft, it's hard to say. B. Also tough. Shorter list, tho. Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park (I & II, not III), Dragonheart. C. Quick one there. Nickelback, Seether, Crossfade, Korn, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, and almost everything in between, though I've got pretty broad tastes. D. Foreign stuff, especially stuff with pasta (like Italian) or rice (such as chinese, indian, and thai). I'm sure there's more in there.
The six things I could never do without
Computer. Drawing pad. Pencils. (for the above) Ohyeah, and.. Food. Shelter. Warmth. But the first three are a priority.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Work: art, fantasy, mythology, roleplaying, different game/fantasy worlds, artistic style. (no, that's not a typo, my work encompases all of the above.)
On a typical Friday night I am
Sitting at home working on animation. Sometimes I go out with friends, but they're all just as busy with schoolwork as I am. Occaisionally we hit bars, I know a couple bands, so when they're playing in town I try to make it.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
*shrugs* Dunno. I think I said it all when I agreed to the 'I like porn' question back on that intro quiz. But I can't think of anyone who really *hates* it, in some form or another.
I’m looking for
  • Everybody
  • Ages 22–46
  • Located anywhere
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
You like creativity. Or, y'know, if you're breathing. Non-breathers need not apply. (back, you rotting zombies, back!)
