Interesting facts about me:
~I do not RP, nor ERP. Please do not ask. I'm saving my creative storytelling for my book writing.
~I hate being called "hun" or "hon" but I usually ignore it, and don't let it bug me. I don't care to be called "ma'am" or "madam" cuz I'm not old nor oldschool enough to be called that. I've never been one for the fancy shmancy stuff like that.
~I also hate being called "Ralph/Ralphy" because I'm not a guy, and Raphy is not short for Ralphy or Raphael. It's short for Raphesia, my main book character.
~Although I have a pair of glasses, I hardly need them for anything more than reading digital things, such as an alarm clock.
~I'm not a girly girl, but not quite a tomboy either...I'm kind of a mix in between--I'm just a gamer chick :P
~I love my "alone time" but I also like to chat online with friends, especially while I'm busy with my art, so I can keep at it, and not get bored & want to do something else. My A.D.D. makes me get bored with things quite easily, even if I was previously excited about it.
~My A.D.D. and Dyslexia gives me horrible memory problems, so don't ask me if I remember something, the answer is most likely "No." :P
~I prefer the more innocent & tasteful side of art. I can't stand raunchy, tasteless, overly sexualized pics & selfies that people pass off as "art."
~Although I do cuss sometimes, I don't really care for foul language much. I prefer to be polite, if at all possible.
~It takes a hell of a lot to make me mad, unless certain triggers get pushed, such as bugging me and being impatient about when I'll get done with my project(s) or insulting my art and talents, or my intelligence, or calling me "Ralph/Ralphy" (as stated above).
~I have over 50 OCs, most of which were created within various games I've played, including my mini elf race, which was inspired by the character creation system in Aion.
~Just like when a kid names an animal, causing them to grow an attachment to it & don't want to let go of it, even if it's not theirs: I tend to not want to let go of any character I've created & named, which is why I have so many OCs...I end up making a background story for them, and find out how they can fit into my story. (This is probably why it's taking me so long to get my book(s) written out)
~Talents & Skills: Traditional and Digital artist; Novice at Sewing, Knitting, and Crocheting; Novice Photographer; Singer; Beginner Voice Actor (no actual experience yet, but interested in it); And ofcourse, Videogamer!
Short Bio: I was born in California. I grew up as one of the youngest 3 out of 8 kids in my family (2 siblings, 5 step-siblings) & I also have another half brother & half sister I never lived with.
~I've been poor all my life, which has kept me rather humble, and "down to earth"...And also made me kinda good at saving money and being patient, waiting till I have enough to get any wants & such.
~Because of being poor all my life, I absolutely hate the idea of going starving, and since I have Anemia (Which means lack of iron, therefore lack of red blood cells and lowered immune system) my body won't allow me to skip any meals, because if I do, I'll get a headache, stomach ache, and lightheadedness, along with shaky hands (which is not good for being an artist...)
~I moved a lot throughout my life (too many times to count) so my experience with that, and my love for Tetris and puzzle games has made me good at organizing and compacting things into fewer boxes. (Unfortunately, it didn't allow for me to make any lasting friends, so all the friends I have now are from college and onward, with most of them being online.)
~My mom was always sewing and knitting when I was young, so I got rather good at untangling everything from yarn to electronic wires, etc. I also picked up a bit of her knowledge on knitting, etc, so I can make my own clothing repairs, thus saving money.
~I work from home, for now, so I am my own employer, and work on my own schedule time. This is subject to change, because I'll be looking for a job, soon as I can learn how to drive, now that I have a car.
~My dream and goal in life is to get my story written out, turned into published books, and then into video games and movies, and eventually an MMOrpg too. I currently have a professional coder friend who offered to be the coder for my games, so I've got that part started already.
~I will forever be improving upon my skills in art and writing. I may take breaks from it every so often, but I'll never quit. Being an artist, writer, & videogamer isn't just hobbies, it's apart of who I am!
~I've had far too many naysayers try to tell me I'm not good enough and never will be, at any given thing, but I keep on going, and never give up, because to give up on your dreams and settle for a lesser life than you deserve is just as bad (in my opinion) as suicide. Because life without dreams/goals for something better, is no life at all!
~Also note: I do not copy, I do not trace. Every bit of art you see in my gallery was all hand drawn. Yes, I use pose references, but I look off of them, not trace.
I also don't do "re-colors" of others' art...if you want that kind of art, please look elsewhere.

Hello, Raphy. hehe
Ello Darky :3
We miss you.
Aww, well I'm back now :3
Yay! Both your accounts, or just this one?
I don't have access to my "Raphesia" account right now, so just this one.
You’re a nice artist
