Hello, I'm Echo. I'm turning 25 soon and I'm from the midwest in the states. I've suffered from chronic depression and suicide ideation since my mothers passing when I was a teen. Recently, my cousin killed themselves at the beginning of August. I was very close to this cousin and we grew up with one another since childhood. He was my older cousin and I'm still having a really hard time processing his death. I have a hard time processing death in general. My mother's death has greatly affected me mentally. I also deal with chronic illnesses and chronic pain, which often can get pretty debilitating and has currently put my life at a standstill while dealing with an incurable illness in which I take pain meds and other treatments in trying to manage at least the most prominent health issue, I'm hoping I can get surgery done to at least alleviate some of the issues I have due to my illness. I'm also a chronic insomniac. Which I have been since a little child. -- I was for a long time managing my health and depression alright until I got around my early twenties and had my physical health take a pretty massive nosedive. In my spare time, I like to game, listen to music ( mostly metal \m/ )read comics/manga, and watch movies and anime. When I go out, I like having picnics in the park and listening to music. Or discovering a new cool coffee shop. I'm really obsessed with Boku no hero right now and can't wait to see the new movie at the end of the month. I am a self-taught digital artist and spend most of my time making works for my patreon. sometimes I stream on picarto.tv, but it's hard doing it all the time. I feel like my depression and chronic pain holds me back a lot of time in being consistent with art related stuff. currently, I'm trying to be a freelance artist and open an Etsy shop so I can hopefully make a side income from that. It's taking a while for the shop thing though because I want everything to be as perfect as it can be whenever someone orders prints and have been slowly getting more and more supplies for it. I also spend a lot of time playing otome visual novel games and old-school RPG's like Tales of, and star ocean. I'm currently learning Japanese, as I one day want to visit there.

Hello! I'm Echo2themoon! I'm in my mid-twenties and I'm a digital artist! -- I like drawing fantasy work and I especially like drawing extreme amounts of hair in my drawings! I get inspiration from movies, comics, tv shows and anime! -- I joined this site a few months ago but just not getting around to setting my profile up and going through the forums. I'm also a gamer and have over 11 systems, including the rig I built myself! I also really love music. Anything from death metal, to vaporware I absolutely love! I consider myself a metelhead but I love all sorts of different genres of music. A lot of my taste could be considered niche and unheard of but I really like music that can make me feel while I'm being creative. I also really love listening and watching murder mysteries/documentaries. I love anything that talks about investigation works and the process of solving and following clues and trails of stories.
