sigishooter halfcrash Oh man, this thread was created such a long time ago and I haven't been on gaia for a while now but I felt the need to come to this forum and kinda participate for once. Anyways I feel like this thread is probably the only thread that I feel comfortable participating in so here I am. I might as well start off by saying something about myself like the others have. So, I've enjoyed creating art since I was very young but never actually took it up as a hobby until a couple years ago. I mostly enjoy doing digital art with my drawing tablet. I seem to always get into an art block and not draw for a month and then start up again which is really frustrating. I plan to go to college to major in illustration and later become a digital art teacher and getting into a slump when I want to become a "professional" artist is extremely annoying. I also enjoy writing and creating stories. It's somewhat embarrassing to admit but the majority of the time I make my main characters have some of my characteristics because I like to imagine that I am them but they are just a stronger, handsomer, better version of me. Writing can sometimes be my creative outlet and when I get dysphoric creating confident character can be helpful. The inspiration for both my writing and drawing mostly come from movies or tv shows. Sometimes if I like the cinematography from a movie or tv show recreate it but in my style of drawing on my computer. I like to do a lot of color studies and really bring out the different compositions in a scene to show the depth, perspective, or mood. So there you go. I just wanted to post this here because I would love to chat with other LGBT+ artists as I haven't met very many. Hey, that's cool! And I totally understand making characters that end up being versions of yourself. I think at least to some degree everyone does it. I don't think that's so bad (even if it can be embarrassing) especially if you recognize you do it. Do you have anywhere you have your art posted? Anything to share? :0 I don't have any art posted online cause I don't want anyone stealing any of my art. I would love to share some of my art but since it's not posted online I'm not exactly sure how to share it.

I especially don't want to post anything because some of the work I want to share might end up being on my portfolio and I don't want colleges to see my work but in someone else's names if someone ends up stealing it. It would be a pretty shitty situation.

If you don't mind me asking--are you applying to or planning to attend any particular college/s? :0 Are you looking to get your degree in art? If that's too personal, I understand! I'm just curious because I'm a Sequential Art grad and I went to a school called SCAD not too long ago.

We actually had a SCAD employee come and present the college to us in art class. I want to get a bachelors degree cause I would like become a teacher someday. I want to major in illustration and maybe minor in some sort of writing. I'm planning on applying to RISD, Pratt Institute, and like 5 others.

I can only speak for my department (and my campus--I went to Savannah) but I've heard some good stuff about the illustration program there! Unfortunately I never was able to take any electives outside of my major ahah Definitely wishing you the best of luck!
