Every since I was a kid, I loved to draw and tell all kinds of stories.
I used to enter speech contests in elementary school where we had to get in front of the class and act out a story. Got 2nd place twice ><; Had a lot of fun though looking through story books and finding the right story to tell, then figuring out how to act out the different parts.
Made films with my cousins growing up, flip books, comics, you name it. Time of my life. Pursued animation as a career after studying it in College. Now I'm working as a storyboard artist in the Video Game Industry.
In my free time I'm still passionate about telling stories and drawing so I'm working on a personal manga project-- it's about a group of kids who enter a Cheetah Polo tournament to win money to save their village. These giant fantasy animals are the fastest on land. Set in a pre-Industrial Age, these kids will not only have to learn this epic game of polo but also how to tame and ride these wild beasts if they want to win it all.
Hope to write more about it in this journal ^^ thanks for stopping by.
