The One Behind The Empress

I used to be user: The Imperial Majesty (2016 - 2021 era) and Empress Laurella VII (2010 -2015 era), Imperial Empress Ruby/Her Imperial Majesty/Her Royal Highness (2005 - 2010 era). 2003 - 2005, it was basically my real full name, which I cannot locate at all as I forgot the password and email address long ago. I moonlit as user Artccentricity/Bump for Joy as my more "casual" account (2010-2021) but finally got banned along with my many accumulated mules that are too numerous to name off here. They were often manned by close friends when I wasn't able to log on, or they wanted to play around on them.

(There are some very gray-area rules in regards to using mules, particularly for gold-gaining and trading, and apparently, I was unknowingly breaking them for all these years).

After a year of taking a break, I've returned under a new account, but not for the assumed reason. gaia_crown

For over 19+ years, I've always had a knack and love for making avatars of all kinds, but by far, it was the "royal" avatars based more on could-be, or existing real-life fashions that became my go-to. And as Gaia's pixels and layering systems got more and more sophisticated over the years, it's become easier.

In the Land of The Real World, I'm a traditional oil painter/digital artist, illustrator, writer, vocalist, and designer who is pretty much almost always busy. Yet somehow, I still find time for Gaia of all places and feel almost instinctively compelled to log in. It must be a curse.

I do digital art commissions on Gaia sometimes, because I cannot say no to Plat, but in future will be focused on more of a realistic "traditional" portrait style.
