I was raised on a farm, I love guns, history, and anime. Drawing as became a passion of mine as I use it to make all my character concept art.

Currently, I think Isaac Tinker is my subconscious favorite, as he embodies the embers of my wielding spirit.

A lot of Japanese light novels. They have a wide range of stories that I wouldn't have thought off.
