Cliché introductions aside, I go by Heart - As an artist and writer of eleven years, I bring my characters to life with illustration and wax poetics. I've never gone to college, and worse yet, I'm a high school dropout. However, despite having a learning disability, I believe that practice and dedication are what truly matter. Experience, after all, is the greatest teacher.

🔌 Nicolette Friend 🧰

Nicolette Friend, a bubbly, dorky engineer... a ray of light in the dark, dystopian hell that is the Dead Space universe. Yet, it's worth noting that her story is a twist on the original lore. Born in the small mountain town of Peakside Orrosville, Alaska, her parents were scientists who met a grim end, leaving a family friend to come in and raise her. Having been given a paid education in exchange for working at the same facility, little by little she'll uncover her parents' death... and the secret hadron collider project they were oh-so-heavily invested in.

⚓ Jodie Colgrave 🐀

Meet Jodie Colgrave, the ❝face❞ of the Rust Rats, a faction of ship-sailing post-apocalyptic raiders akin to prohibition-era mobsters under the guise of ❝formal❞ business. Their modus operandi involved strong-arming gun makers into submission and then having a monopoly of producing their own, leaving them as sharks of the industry. At one point they owned the island of Raven Creek, but all that shimmers isn't gold, bones left on the beach old and cold.

💀 Carrie Rosenberg 🥀

Carrie Rosenberg, a gothic, monotone teen; _{a survivor of} a senior at Suburbia-City High School. She's not afraid to speak her mind, usually in the form of a biting, cynical observation which, while not initially my own artistic creation, has found new life through my efforts. She comes from the largely overlooked and abandoned video game ❝Monster Madness: Battle For Suburbia.❞ Despite the game's past with the studio closing down, I've received the blessing from her original writer to expand upon her. Yet, my commitment remains to preserving Carrie while breathing new life into her.

⚰️ Lydia DEETZ 👻

Lydia Deetz, an eyeful of strange and unusual. While not the ghost with the most like her friend Beej, she's the medium without the high cost of an insurance premium. Looking at you... Ghost Busters. Having cut her teeth in Winter River, Connecticut, my version of Lydia leaves the Maitlands to explore the East Coast and then the wider states of America in an effort to solve the world's ghost problems... well, latter being when able. Lydia is still starting her career, and with that, her name. Lest we sell out and start a show, my Lydia will remember her humble beginnings... and to learn after having what Ortho did.(Still a rather large WIP, give me time, please.)

🦅 Quinn Stradivari 🎺

In the darkest depths of the 40K universe, there lies a lowly soldier named Quinn Stradivari. As a tank hull gunner specialist, she's enlisted in the Astra Militarium on the planet Cadia, a fortress world catered to protection from the Eye of Terror, a massive warp rift that spews bile and vile akin to a grease trap. At some point in Quinn's service, she disobeyed a direct order from her commanding officer, leaving her to be conscripted as a ❝reject;❞ ne’er-do-well scum meant to redeem themselves in the eye of the Imperium on Tertium, a hive city taken over by the traitorous regiment Moebian 6. Time will tell if this soldier's resolve remains true... or is shattered.

📓 Miscellaneous ✏️

These pieces don't involve my biggest characters. They may be side characters, stuff I've done for friends, or maybe challenges I gave myself to improve upon my rigid standard of graphic design... woe, perfectionism be upon ye.
