Greetings from the Void
PLEASE WAIT FOR ALL THE ASSETS ON MY PAGE TO LOAD!!! EVERYTHING WILL LOOK SUPER COOL, I PROMISE!!! My nameβs Nova (He/They, 20+ years old), and I'm the Webmaster of this page. For the most part, I just kinda fuck around on the internet while wandering through the cosmos
. Not only will this website become the archive for all the art I've ever made, but I will also use this as a normal blog that gets updated every now and then. I got a LOT of interests that I can (and will
) talk about for extensive paragraphs, so if you're into seeing that sorta thing, you've come to the right place! Also, to any of my besties viewing this page, howdy fwen 
! *squeaky toy noise*
I'm totally open to anyone taking aesthetic inspiration from my website to help you out with yours 
. Hit F12 and dig through my code all you want! If you wanna ask me any questions about how I designed my website, or if you'd like to drop me a casual message, scroll all the way down this window and feel free to do so in theguestbook
! Iβm autistic, so please use some simple tone indicators ( for example; /s, /j, etc.) wherever appropriate to help me understand you 
. I'd be glad to chat!
Who Am I
Over here you can get to know me better
! Also, uhh... small tangent
. While I do have plenty more interests than I've stated in the right-hand box, my special interests are things that I care the most about and have encyclopedic levels of knowledge on (thanks, autism).
My Lore
I grew up as a self-taught artist for the majority of my life. Kid-me relied on stuff like how-to-draw-manga books and tutorials online that were made by other artists on places like DeviantArt and Tumblr circa 2009 to 2018 
. My friends also helped me out a shit ton too; shoutout to them 
! I got pretty far with just those resources, but I knew I still had a long way to go before truly feeling proud of my work 
. Something didn't click yet, but that would change once I got into university during Fall 2018.
In university, I majored in Studio Art (there was no Illustration major available at my campus, so I chose the closest major that involved a lot of drawing 
). The way my artwork looks now is largely the result of what I learned during my years in a formal art-education setting. Of course, I've also gone through several eras of special interests during my 7 years in university, and those interests have also influenced how I've developed my current style, but the classes I took in university are definitely what taught me how to unify and execute my ideas 
.
I couldn't be prouder of how far my art has come! Now, not only can I draw really sick ass original art and commissions, but I can also make great fanart that scratches my brain wrinkles 
! I'd say the years of struggling as a young artist have definitely paid off. I'm looking forward to see how my work develops even further in the future 
.
