I was a doodler as a child. It got me into trouble more often than not. I wasn't very good; I wasn't in art classes or anything. But I found books and videos and I managed to teach myself, developing a style that complimented the way my brain works and the way my hands don't (they are very shaky). I am quite inspired by things like the concept art of Shadow of the Colossus, 70s/80s fantasy art, mecha anime, the comics of Moebius, space westerns, and many many others.
