I love creating art because it gives me the power to shape narratives. There's something intoxicating about being that face in the sky.

I enjoy digital illustration and animation, using programs like Adobe Illustrator, AfterEffects and Clip Studio Paint. My strongest medium is drawing, which I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Acrylic painting is another medium I'm proficient in, and is the primary reason why I don't use line art in my digital media. I create my own webtoon called White Rose Saga, which is the driving force behind the development of my digital expertise.
Where do you find inspiration?I do ample research whenever I'm ready to create. I spent hours on the Internet learning about the inner workings of whatever it is I want to make. I've been working on a map for my fictional version of Earth. Most of that time has been spent learning about tectonic plates, geography, weather patterns, and biome placement to make the most accurate creation possible. I also consume whatever media I seek to create, reading comics and watching anime that contain the themes I work with the most.
What would you do with $25,000?I would stash $15,000 in my high-yield savings account so I can get higher compound interest payments. I'd take the remaining $10,000 to start my LLC.
