Hey there, I am someone in my early to mids 20s who likes drawing. Ever since I was a kid I had issues with maladaptive daydreaming and would often dream about characters and scenarios in my head. As a kid who grew up on lots of videogames (especially Japanese ones) and manga, naturally most of my ideas derived from nerdy sources. I started drawing at a very young age as long as I can remember, obsessively drawing awful pokemon drawings as a child. Throughout many stages in my later life I often took breaks and at times attempted to quit drawing for good.
I've never really liked showcasing my things to others, but since the passing of two people I know in my personal life, I decided to go for it. One of them was a girl I knew in highschool. She was an international student and for her art saved her life. She had amnesia and epilepsy and art therapy helped her recover her memories when she was hospitalized. Her story and life moved me so deeply, it reminded me of the true power of art. But unfortunately she had a premature death. I will always remember her story and inspiration. Sure we weren't too close, but her story will always be in my heart and it moved me truly. It showed me there was meaning to art beyond just churning out pretty pictures and entertainment for consumerism, there is SOUL, humanity, and vulnerability. Prior to knowing of her death, I wanted to quit drawing entirely. But her story ended up inspiring me to continue drawing.
The second person was an online friend I had since I was a young teenager, and he struggled deeply with his own issues. I will always remember them.
I'm new to HTML so bear with me, I know this website is very rough right now. I've also gotten a new PC and there lost 90% of all my previous creative works so I'm working on producing new works as much as possible!
My comics and finished illustrations will also be published at my PIXIV.
Thank you for reading!
