The Trials of Immortality actually faced significant roadblocks with the original publisher, Evelyn, passing away before I could acquire royalties. Make sure to order from Palmetto Publishing!

~5.5 yrs experience in Flash, 7+ years working in ToonBoom Harmony. I started using SmoothDraw in summer 2014, Krita late 2016. I try to draw everyday, whether it's sketching or something digital. My black and white sketches are usually just done with normal pencil and paper.

Drawing and flat out daydreaming of stories has always been a passion of mine. I probably drew more anime/manga stuff regularly since high school which means maybe 13+ years by now. Animation seemed to me as an ideal form of creative work as it requires tremendous patience even with talent, and since for the most part you get out what you put in. Regarding creative writing, I have been independently writing stories since 2008, and am a sci-fi and fantasy enthusiast!
