Hey there! I'm fairly new to FA but have been drawing for many years. I also paint, work with clay, and do custom figures/toys. I'm currently finishing my bachelor's degree in zoology with a minor in psychology, both of which are fascinating to me and that I hope to use in my future career(s). I'm happily married to my lovely wife and our daughter is a precious dilute torture that we adopted from the shelter. I hope to make more income from my artwork as time goes on because I have incredibly bad joints and was diagnosed with carpal tunnel this summer, making holding a "real job" a little more difficult than it is for most people (especially in the zoo field, which is what I'm passionate about). I love to create character designs, including more unique species that aren't just feline, canine, you know the usual. Lately I've been improving my drawing reptiles and birds. I mainly work with traditional media, but I do have a handed-down tablet that I hope to practice with as well. I'm also interested in doing doll customizations, including bringing fursonas to life! I hope to meet some friends and improve my skills!
