You May Say I'm An Artist...
Share| Archive By @techgnotic I am haunted in this holiday season by the opening lines of Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities, his novel about a society 250 years ago coming apart in its seemingly irreconcilable divisions. Could it be these lines define where we have come to find ourselves today? “It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,
in the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness,
it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity,
it was the season of Light,
it was the season of Darkness,
it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair…” ur own epoch is one of the technological miracle of inst...
I am Elsa Kroese. I'm a freelance artist, focusing on illustration. I also create animations, concept art and in-game assets. You can always contact me about commissions.
A large part of my time goes into creating Spindrift, my webcomic. You can read spindrift on www.spindrift-comic.com, and you will be able to find a lot of SD art in my dA gallery.

Hi old and new watchers!
It's really good to be active on dA again. I've been pretty quiet myself as I took some time off to work sort out some personal issues and get trough some rough months, I've been working on my mental and physical health a lot, and even though it's not always easy, I have started to feel a lot better. Thanks also, for the generosity of my fellow dA folks, for giving me a core subscription, and a daily deviation! All off this adds to my newfound energy high and my motivation. Perfect timing!-Before my move to Germany I went snowboarding twice a week on an indoor slope, practicing tricks and jumps, sliding off rails, ...
... since I wrote a journal.
It's a bad habit. Whenever things get a little rough, I hide away and close myself off from social channels until things have improved again. It's a backwards thing to be doing, as I also shut out the people who might be able to help, but I know I'm not the only one who does this. So even for the sake of solidarity, I felt like bringing it up; maybe there's someone out there who went "Hey! I do that as well" and is feeling slightly less bad about it now. Don't worry. Someday we will get it right :D!Anyway, I've been drifting a bit, but I've found my way back. To dA as well. Somehow I always do :D. I hope you g...
Better late than never. Right. Right? How long have you been on DeviantArt?
12 Years, according to my account. Though not all of them active. What does your username mean?
It's just my name :P. In case you're interested: Kroese is supposed to be a derivative from crusaders (Jikes) and Elsa means that I'm now also a Disney princess (yay?). Describe yourself in three words.
I. can't. do. that. (see) Are you left or right handed?
Right handed What was your first deviation?
Pfew.. I cleared out my gallery a number of times. I don't remember. Probably something fantasy :D What is your favourite type of art to create?
Is "any" a type of art? I ...
Hi Elsa, I really love your art and your webcomic. And please know, that no matter how long you take to draw a new page, I will always be there to read it. Take your time and don't feel pressured.
