About Me
32 • ISTJ • PanAro • NB (They/Them) • UK
I like history and mostly create history-based content, I also enjoy science-fiction. Self-taught artist & writer. I started making art and OC's in late 2006 and never stopped. I've been writing stories on-off since 2008, took a 4 year hiatus from writing over 2021-2025 and I've just picked writing up again in the back end of 2025. I'm currently writing my first novella.
Clip Studio Paint + Huion Insproy screenless tablet. Previously used Paint Tool Sai.
OC's: I'm particularly interested in exploring psychology of my characters, specifically what makes them tick. This includes how they process and respond to emotions/thoughts, exploring of mental health issues and trauma processing. I like to think about their lives and dynamics with and impact on the people around them. This means my OC's can handle sensitive/mature topics and aren't always great people.
Art: Primarily a means to help me visualise my OC's (partial aphantasia gang rise up) but also I find the process of drawing mediative and satisfying. Currently learning how to render and working up to more complex illustrations and/or poses.
Writing: The easiest way for me to present my daydreams and OC headcanons for public view, it also doubles up as a glorified Previously On to help me track what I've come up with because my memory is garbage! Writing is a cathartic practice and I process a lot of heavy thoughts and emotions through my OC's.
Outside of OC's and art, I am a sailor working towards my mate's licence. Sometimes, art and writing takes a back seat whilst I'm at sea due to lack of time however I continue to pick at my OC's whilst I'm working because they are my means to decompress. I like vintage aircraft, traveling, gambling with RNG on Flight Rising. I consider myself Pagan and I like fucking about with tarot cards. I collect crystals and militaria.
I'd like to eventually get into HEMA and historical re-enactment.
