I've been a writer for the vast majority of my life. At age eleven I wrote a short story about a dragon, and my mom and my aunt were floored that I'd used the phrase "murderous hatred" to describe the look in the dragon's eyes. Getting that reaction fueled me to keep writing. As I got older however, I started to long for ways to give my characters a visual presence, even if only to help me better connect with them. As I cannot draw, this started with finding images from various places, but using another's work (like anime and such) was not satisfying, and didn't help fully. Then, I found 3D art. It took me years to grasp and be able to make anything that resembled a completed image and I'm still learning of course but I feel that finally I can put faces on some of my characters.
