Welcome to Gaia! :: Artist Gallery

I will be 22 years old as of my birthday on July 20th. I'm from Illinois near Chicago and I'm a college dropout. I love fashion, traveling, dogs, art, anime, and RPing But most importantly writing.( lots of other stuff to but those are the basics. I love my friends on and off Gaia all of you mean the world to me. Speaking of the world I plan to see as much of it as I can since I was a sophmore in high school I thought I wanted to be a fashion designer because I love fashion. but it wasn't to be sew<br />
<br />
I'm a big art nerd I love painting,drawing, sculpting, and ceramics. I've been to the Art Institute of Chicago Museum four times in the last year and I still find new things all the time I could live there. I'm a Huge Anime and Manga fan. I really got into it in high school. I like a wide range of kinds of manga/Anime but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a slight Shojo preference.as an artist and an Anime fanatic I don't think I'd convince anyone by saying I don't draw anime I do as a hobby I'm decent but know wear near professional level.<br />
<br />
As i said I love to travel and even considered that as a job at one point but have since changed my mind. I've already seen most of America but I've also spent some time out of the states I've seen quite a bit of New Zealand and some of Australia including Sydney. <br />
<br />
I've had five dogs in my life Sunny, Blue, Midnight, Rainey, and Guinness. Sunny was my childhood pet he died when I was in fourth grade. I loved them all very much. Blue is almost 8 years old and Guinness is about 2ish he was adopted so we don't know for sure but he is obviously a young dog. <br />
<br />
I started Rping a few years ago and I love it. I get to be another person and I always stay true to the Character I create. I have met so many of my friends through RP you guys are great and very talented and have taught me a <br />
lot<br />
<br />
Last November I participated in Nanowrimo and wrote the first 50,000 words of my first novel. The experience was great and I proved to myself that I could be a writer. if you're on the Nanowrimo site you can look me up my screen name is RLShepherd. <br />
<br />
As of this year I'm trying to make youtube videos it hasn't happened quite yet but it will I swear.<br />
