First off, my birthday is October 8th, not 9th, which was a misclick and not checked over before hitting submit ten years ago now when I made this Deviant Art account and it can not be changed. The 9th is my long moved on grandpa though when we used to share the same birthday every year and celebrate together...

Hello... and welcome to my profile. I am known as Shadow, or I have many other nicknames... Black Shadow, Crow, Queen... Tzel (which is Hebrew for Shadow given to me by someone I met a long while ago) but... mostly go by Shadow, but you can call me what you wish, for the most part. I am a fangirl artist, as you may notice, a very big one. If I hadn't been one, I wouldn't have gotten this far, I feel like, especially not enjoying what I do if not. It's as natural as breathing. At least for me, is it keeping me alive though? Who knows.

I am a portrait artist... at least had started out as one, trying to be, and still kind of stick with it. Started out drawing my own characters and then sort of evolved into the fangirl artist you might notice now, and had become more of a portrait videogame artist... which you may also notice it is mostly Darksiders. I love it, a lot. It's life at this point... but I also do portraits from other things I may be fangirling over. Trying to make as realistic as possible portraits was my goal... but soon figured out I mostly more enjoy it when the ones I am doing portraits of are fictional rather than real people. There's something more exciting and beautiful about fictional characters... But it's not just portraits of 'people' that I now do but also find myself doing portraits of creatures and other things that I might love, because I am also a lover of beautiful monster and creature designs (and so wish I could be a creature designer but that doesn't quite work out for me, but I still appreciate them). They make wonderful subjects just as much as people, or someone like a person...

I am sometimes also a writer, enjoying writing... sometimes, though it is a commitment, and for ten years I definitely knew that. I have had several stories I had tried writing, not all of them finished, I might have like two finished in total of several I've written. I try though. I am a lover of fantasy, in most everything, also horror... but haven't much written any.

I do love talking to people, meeting new people. I think I am a pretty nice person, and I will respond to any willing to reach out to me. I've met several awesome people online within like eight years and love to meet more... and have several I consider friends, even here. If you ever need someone to talk to, to either say hi or like need a deep opinion or someone to listen to you, I definitely will offer myself. I know how it feels to not have someone to do that and I am willing to do it for anyone... So, I am here. Might be busy, but I will get back to you eventually.

So interests of mine: drawing, (obviously. Traditional, or had mostly been, "digital" Paint 3D is what I have been mostly using, upgraded to that after I got a new laptop... started out in Windows Paint) writing stories and whatnot, playing videogames, watching videogames, (I am one of those who watch people play games on YouTube, yes. I enjoy it, some people make me smile), reading, listening to music (which I have a diverse range of music I very much listen to, it's random and never the same usually as the last song, mostly quite a bit of metal, and Linkin Park, rest in peace Chester, still miss you), used to watch anime, I mean I still would but haven't in awhile, love horror movies/games (definitely haven't watched tv in years though, if not online then well... I don't even honestly remember the last thing I even watched...), and as I said... being a fangirl. Well... hope you enjoyed learning about me, if that's not enough for you... feel free to play 20 questions with me, I might answer.
