Hiya, I returned about a few weeks or so ago after being semi-hiatus for 7 years or so. I feel like it was time for me to re-introduce myself considering the last I posted here was during my middle school years...yikes.

I'm 21 now, I go by Ita/Pawli and I am both a traditional and digital artist (mainly digital nowadays). I aspire to be a conceptional artist among the gaming industries one day, I also like the idea of doing voice acting. I like dressing up and styling avatars as well as creating characters off of my pets. I have yet to actually write up and design my characters, but the thought is there. I am a former college student, non-graduate. I dropped out because the college life just wasn't for me. I'm thinking of opening up an art shop here at some point in time to help earn some extra cash.

I'm a bit of a hoarder, I collect TCGs (mainly Pokemon), rocks and minerals, figurines and stuffed animals.

I love nature, astrology, gaming, anime (feel free to ask for MAL), paranormal and psychological things. I play various amounts of games, feel free to ask me to list all the ones I've played, I'd gladly do so. I'm very into Destiny 2 right now!

^_^ wb i just came back in april. and your ha = <3 . what kinda psychological paranormal stuff ya talking bout?

Hiya, and welcome back as well~ Thank you, I adore your ha as well!

I'm into ghost stories and spoopy legends and what-not. I guess I've always been drawn towards hearing about ghosts, reading about it and having little experiences/encounters here and there.

As for psychological stuff, I'm just interested in knowing more and going deeper into the minds of things and having more of an understanding of behaviors/emotions. Like, one of my favorite animes is Kiznaiver which I believe fits well among that subject. c:

that's so awesome. also super unique o_o.

i don't really watch anime unless someone else watches it with just because I know i'll go down a rabbit hole ^_^. also mostly the anime's i've been watching w/ friends are more fighting based. what genre is kiznaiver in?

Kiznaiver is action + science fiction, it's emotionally intense.

Gorgeous avatar! And welcome back ❤️ Who is your favorite Pokemon?

Welcome back, such a gorgeous HA!

What's your favorite gaming genre?

Thank you! My favorite Pokemon (including all evolution forms) is Mareep/Flaaffy/Ampharos/Mega Ampharos

Thank you! Hm, that's actually a tough question, I'm really into story games and survival games.

Ah, awesome choice! I always loved them, too. Flaaffy especially ❤️ I see you're an artist! Did you make the cacti in your signature?

They're all so very cute <3 and no, I am not great at pixel art...yet.

welcome back! ive taken multiple short breaks over the years here, but somehow always find my way back. the artist community here is super vibrant and talented, so im sure you'll fit right in! i agree with you, concept art is really amazing, but personally id love to do a webcomic or similar one day c: what would you say is your favorite manga? as for writing up characters for pets - welcome aboard! id like to extend an invitation tothe bestiary forum group if youre interested? its just a bunch of people interested in motivating ourselves to actually work on our pets and we have quite a few artists as well c:
