@keilah-h thank you!

This is completely unrelated, but do you like snakes?  You like reptiles, right?  I really like snakes but a lot of people don’t 🙁

@lewilliams thank you!  I love color so much 🙂  i wouldn’t be able to soend a lot of time on a graphite drawing

I’ve drawn since I was little, but I didnt start taking seriously until my sop…[Read more]

@lewilliams the extended editions where my first introduction to the movies lol.  Does your husband like them so far?  As far as favorite characters go, I really like Gandalf.  He’s just a really fun and interesting character.  Have you ever read the Silmarillion?  It puts a lot of petspective on lotr, especially on gandalf, elrond, and gala…[Read more]

@anatra23 so this is kind of embarassing, but we “saved” a dove back when i didn’t know much about birds.  We kept in a box and fed it, and we took it to a vet and it turned out to be a fledgling.  It wasn’t actually hurt, it was just still learning how to fly lol

I’ve heard of violet evergarden, but i don’t know that much about it except that i…[Read more]

@Elfwing @akbaer have either of you read the Silmarillion?  If so, whose your favorite Vala?

@akbaer I’m sorry Annika, I don’t like smeagol.  He irritates me lol

I would ask you the same, but judging from your profile picture I think I already know the answer 🙂 what do you like about smeagol?  I’ll admit, he’s a very compelling villain.

@devastate-lasting i completely forgot to answer your first question!  I visited a mining museum that was super cool.  It just looked like a little shop, and the the tour guide just opened a door and led us into a tunnel undeground.  It was super cool!  There were these cool blue mineral deposits on the walls, and he talked about the history beh…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting it’s really good!  I really like it because the main cast is incredibly flawed and obnoxious.  One of the main focuses of the show is character development, which I really like.  Do you have any anime recommendations?  I’m just getting started lol 🙂

Aww thank you!  It makes me so happy when people like to hear about my proj…[Read more]

@Elfwing ebird?  I’m on ebird!  I really love it, but i hate logging all of my observations after a long birding outing lol.  The heats been absolutely brutal recently, so I haven’t been able to get out.  I’ve always wanted to see a great gray, but they’re kind of rare in our area (i live in the pacific northwest :)).  There’s been occasional sigh…[Read more]

@Elfwing aww thank you 💕

It took a lot of work and prayer to get to this point lol

@calidris very good! you’re very good at people! I am terrible and people and can’t use color in my art or I ruin it XD I guess what I mean is good job because it takes talent to put color in art!

@calidris btw I don’t sort socks either and I actually have a pair with owls on them. Well… I just moved out on my own so I won’t be sorting socks no more, hallelujah!! I used to dig through the pile until I had them all matched XD (there’s eight people in my family, hence the reason I could actually dig in the sock pile XD )

@calidris Aw that sucks because it’s a great app. But the lab that supports it is amazing as well and if you sign up (it’s free!) you can submit your sightings and observations as well as access their library and bird pictures and sound recordings and stuff! I use it a lot.

I know right?!!! birds are so unappreciated in forms other than roasted…[Read more]

@kathleenramm thanks!!

the idea for the fantasy one was a griffin keychain pendant and an idea that sprouted from my childhood world I invented when I was about 10.

The inspiration for the sci fi was… um… good question. XD wanting to try my hand in it and the character was based on my personality but obviously not my life lol.

Honestly……[Read more]

@Elfwing oh my goodness it’s so rare that I meet other people who like birdwatching!  I know about merlin, but i don’t have a phone 🙁

I really love owls.  So far I’ve seen great horned owls, northern pygmy owls, short eared owls, and a barred owl.  We have tons of turkeys and California quail where i live (i actually was able to feed a wild tu…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin @akbaer

@calidris no waaaaaaay!!!! A fellow birdwatcher?!! I love birds!!! Have you heard of the Merlin Bird ID app? It’s so useful! what are your favorite birds?

sorry for the outburst of enthusiasm. XD

Well,  you can share some things you enjoy, so you’re off to a good start 😉

I like worldbuilding too!! I will see that art! Also, to tag people,…[Read more]

A little more about me:

I really, really, really like tolkien 🙂

My favorite fiction books are lotr and the silmarillion, and my favorite movies are also lotr.  Currently, my favorite show is “Haikyu!!” I’m only 11 episodes in so far, so we’ll see how it goes!  I also really like books about lesser known points in history (I have plenty of r…[Read more]

@anatra23 thank you! yes, that is very good advice! Thanks everyone!! 🙂 @keilah-h he is a shape-shifter of sorts, so he ‘sprouts’ wings when he’s stressed or angry or needs to

Most of my art is based on my current project, but I very occasionally do fanart as well 🙂
