Ohwow I'm glad I found this.
Hi! I'm not exactly new to GASR but ngl I made an account on the old site a while back, had no idea what I was doing, and then forgot about it for a year or more lol.
Anyways, greetings! My name is Nicole, but online I prefer to go by Niki. Well- not just online, I go by it in real life too but when introducing myself in person it's a lot easier to just say 'my name is nicole', I'm weird, I know. I'm a little shy and not good at being the first person to talk in a conversation, but once I know you well enough I get much less awkward hahah.
Anyways, I'm 20 years old, born and raised in Alberta, Canada, never left the province or country lol. I'm currently going to college/university for a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts), and am in my 3rd term of my first year (What happens when you start in Winter lol) Living on residency bc my college is a 1h30m drive from my hometown and I don't drive. Currently hating that I have to move out to a different college residency (which is 30 minutes from here and in an entirely different city) for 2-3 weeks for some stupid games happening. Anyways, I love art, if you can't already tell by me mentioning I'm taking art for post-secondary. I've been drawing since I was around 12/13, so like in 2011. I also write and have (also) been writing since I was 12. I mainly write crappy fanfics for animes/kpop ships that I know don't actually exist, because I'm not creative enough lol, but I have been slowly working on a story revolving around Greek goddesses. If you're interested in hearing stuff about that, I'd love to talk about it! My other interests include reading, listening to k-pop (hmu if you wanna fangirl over Seventeen), watching (mainly older) anime, as well as watching k/j dramas, and being lazy. I'm also amazing at procrastinating, and am currently doing it for a drawing assignment due on Monday : ) I'm O B S E S S E D with Stranger Things and have watched season 1 at least 5 times. I can't wait for season 3. Other obsessions lately have been Cardcaptor Sakura, Seventeen (the kpop group), Riverdale, and of course, tea will always be an obsession of mine, I have way too much tea (there's never too much tea).
I joined IMVU for a friend a while ago (probably 2016-17) and rarely go on it but I might as well advertise the name anyways: WiIIow_Echo. the L's are actually capital i's because the original name was taken or something and at the time I was too lazy to think of another cool name lol. I don't even know where Willow Echo came from it just sounded cool.
I'll stop this monologue by saying I love cats and dogs and all animals so if you have pets pls share them with me if you can I will love you forever. ok nice to meet you all, have a good day/night/evening/afternoon!
Inktober 2017 redraw of my snake-girl OC who still doesnt have a name even though I first drew her 3 years ago. I think I had a name for her at one point but forgot what it was.
Once again another inktober 2017 redraw that I still like to this day (honestly feels like I drew it last year) the original drawing from inktober 2016 didnt have blue, but purple instead (I think?) but I liked the blue.
Old inktober redraw. Yes, I'm aware she looks like she's from Homestuck. No, I have not seen anything (besides fanart) about Homestuck. (The original drawing from 2016 I only used sharpies and I had like 4 colours and orange was the one i chose so I decided to stick with it)
An older drawing from inktober...2017? that I'm still proud of/happy with. (also a redraw of a 2016 inktober drawing)
My OC Caiden. I only used my brown/earthy/neutral colours (except that light next to him came out a lot redder than i expected)
A Self Portrait of myself. The texture on the sweater took far too long but I'm proud of myself. (note this barely looks like me so take it worth a grain of salt)
This is also from 2017 but I still love it. I redraw this character a lot. Her real name is Thalia and yes, she's inspired by Greek Mythology
ignore the glaring anatomy issues + obnoxious watermark I added so it'd be harder to steal. This drawing is from 2017 but I still am really proud of it. I used a reference for the background, but every line shadow/line/etc is done by me (with some helpful guidelines)
