So, in order to make this journal space less empty, I figured it's about time I introduced myself. Not that there's much to say outside of what's already in my info section, but if you don't mind, try to bear with me anyways.

So, let's see, the basics- I'm 21 years old, I live in Los Angeles, and I work for Neversoft Entertainment as a QA Tester, which for the uninitiated means I typically work long hours for minimal compensation on incredibly broken games. Despite any of these overt flaws, I genuinely enjoy what I do, as this is an industry with a great atmosphere and even greater people, and I can't help but get excited when I see everyone gushing over a game that I helped to improve (which is currently more than I can say for the games I worked on when I was at THQ...). Someday I want to move out of testing and do something a bit more involved, but at least for now, I can say I'm genuinely happy with my life.

As far as my DA career goes (or whatever you want to call this), this is actually my second account since I discovered this site, which I made in hopes of getting a fresh start after a long art block, and perhaps use to create a real portfolio. For now though, I'm just trying to polish off some rust and remind myself why it was that I loved to draw so much in the first place. I don't get a lot of time off, so I can't guarantee that I'll always be on top of comments and what have you, but I'll do my best. At the end of the day though, if anyone can enjoy what I do at least a fraction of the amount that I do, I'll be pretty content ^_^

And that's that. So, to conclude my longer-than-expected self introduction, greetings all!
