For as long as I can remember I’ve always loved to draw. Sadly I don’t draw much these days due to lack of time, lack of inspiration, other interests, etc. But I always remembered drawing, from drawing dinosaurs before I even knew what a classroom was, to drawing aliens and other weird stuff on the backs of church programs back when I was forced to go as a kid, to having art as a major during my second year of college. I’ve draw monsters, character designs with or without back stories, and various different kinds of fanart. I’ve also loved creative writing for a very long time, especially short stories. I’ve had a few ideas for comics, but they never really got off the ground. Maybe someday. Oh, I also wrote a lot of (likely very bad) poetry when I was in high school and especially during my time at Eastern Michigan University. Hopefully none of it is still floating around the internet, and if so hopefully it isn’t easily traceable to me. It might be interesting to look back on, though. I don’t know if I still have any of it saved to some thumb drive or burnt to some CD or not, but I might be a little too scared to read it. I was kind of a huge emo kid, minus the fashion. Anyway, a little more relevant to MyAnimeList, I’ve been highly interested in creating anime music videos (AMVs) for a very long time. I have a long list of ideas that I’ve been compiling since high school. However, I’ve never actually completed a project of my own due to time restraints and lack of adequate equipment. Currently, my only legacy as an AMV editor is four clips that successfully made it into AMV Hell Divided by 0 (the second X-rated AMV Hell project). As usual, I used pluvia33 for my submissions if you’re interested to see what I did on there. Although I'm proud of my clips, I’d really like to have a more fleshed out AMV portfolio. Sadly, it seems like AMVs are a bit of a dying art form. They just don’t seem to be as big as they used to be and now with the influence of the Vine platform and “Dank Anime Memes” being a thing, the AMV Hell-style of gag clip compilations seem kind of dead as well due to oversaturation from these other areas. I’d still like to try creating some of the stuff I’ve had planned, though, even if it’s mostly just for myself. We’ll see.
