The Author in Me

  As a writer, fantasy is my life, and I've traveled into science fantasy as well.
 
    My themes center on
    • strong women leads
    • government and religion as corrupting forces when in service to greedy whims of the rich
    • there is hope, however dire the situation
    • character growth; they can't grow if they're dead, so I rarely kill them off

 
The Artist in Me

  As an artist, I fall on the comic/manga side, though I have been known to paint a backdrop or two. I use Photoshop, ClipStudioPaint, Affinity Photo, and Unreal Engine. My work is my own; no AI.
 
    My art:
    • focuses on figures rather than landscapes
    • has a polished style and a sketchier style
    • combines photos and 3D landscapes with drawn figures

  For a peek at my art, visit my portfolio page at my Wordpress site.
