Hello! I go by Inky. I'm a 22 year old digital artist from North America. While I tend to dip my hands into every art medium I can find, I'd say my main skillset is Illustration! Though, I do love trying to animate stuff in after effects lol.
I've got a fairly lax demeanor (I hope. It's what I intend.) and usually use slang when talking, so unless we're all about business- expect me to be fairly informal & spam "lol" as some sort of tonetag even if we're not super close. I tend to keep to myself most of the time, trying to get myself out there is a little... difficult, I suppose? It's far easier for me to just lock in and do an insane amount of work in a short period of time, and then just quietly deliver, than speak to a single person without panicking lol. Its a work in progress, as most things in life are... What can you do, you know?
While I think it's somewhat difficult and sort of innacurate to try and describe my own personality, aside from listing things I like- I'll leave you with a little mini rant of mine, that should sum a good part of me up, I think!
All too often people seem to deprive themselves. Reducing themselves to watered-down husks of who they actually are. All for fear of being "cringe" or "weird" or liking something "too much." I say; to hell with all that shit- It's perpetuated by miserable peanut-brained people who will remain miserable, shallow, and empty their whole life.
Things are that deep, the curtains are never "just blue," and you aren't some pretentious smartass for trying to engage with media sincerely, honestly and unironically beyond the surface level. No, it's not "cringe" to have interests- yes, even if you like it a "not normal" amount. Yes, even if it's something that isn't popular or "cool" or approved by those around you. No it's not "weird" to be yourself. Yes that includes; not looking like, acting like, talking like, or dressing yourself the way everyone else does. You're a human being, only you are you. Why should you want to become someone else? And for the love of god- you're not "yapping!" You're speaking, you're allowed to speak, you know! Think! Form complex thoughts! Use as many damn words as you want! Have hobbies, have whimsy, be silly and fun, be passionate about the things you care about, that isn't cringe!
You know what is cringe? Being a fuckin' downer. Dragging down everyones joy and hapiness because they arent expressing it timidly enough, not normal enough, not regular enough, not the right way, not the right time, not the right subject. Implying they're "doing too much" cause "Um- you arent nonchalant and uncaring about everything... you're not doing this ironically either? ... ermmm cringe wtf ew." Responding to human connection and sincerity, with "womp womp" "and the world keeps spinning" "ok bro she wont let u hit" or that fuckass nerd emoji...
In a way, I have pity for them. In a world where you're rewarded for becoming as lifeless as possible... Folks who are naturally a bit more malleable never stood a chance. But for those whose edges are sharper, more defined, whose personalities were so rich it was impossible to keep it contained- keep at it. The world is too god damn miserable to not have as much purposeful fun as you want. And hell, if I'm wrong, and all of these things are cringe? Then be cringe. Be free, and be happy.
You can find me on . . .

This is just a gargantuan list of things I like. Either actively enjoying, or have enojyed in the past and still like to an extent.
(If something has both a comic and a show, I'm going to put it in the show category. 50/50 toss up if I read the comic too.)
