My Bio
My most important thing is my ideals, high sense of morality (being virtuous), Samurai and the Bushido code. Not all samurai were of high morals and honour, some became arrogant and deluded by their position in society; but the overall 'way' and views that Bushido sets has always been close to me.

Right - everything below is about art and things I like:

I essentially want to draw to a professional standard in both paper and digital formats for concept art in video games design.

I have done 2 years at college for Games Design and another 2 in HND for Games Design (neither really did drawing sadly) and am now trying to get good enough at drawing to get onto a University art course for 'Games Art'.

All of my drawings are posted in my 'scraps' section due to me not seeing my current drawings worthy of being put in the Deviations section. You can find any drawings I have done there. They are not the best at the moment though. Please allow me to improve.

What do I want to end up drawing? Anything I feel like really. If you want MAIN things that I will like to draw then I suppose it'd be: Anything East Asian related, Samurai, Yakuza, Shinto related stuff etc. Cyberpunk/Futuristic stuff, Nature scenes and just... stuff. I'm sure I'll discover what I like to draw best overtime. I will most definitely do fan art for Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku.

I love learning about brave and mighty East Asian historic generals/warlords.

I like Torii gates a lot. They're a symbol of Japanese history and culture. It's linked to the mystical Shinto faith. A truly interesting thing to read about. They're also really pretty.

Main Seven Things I Like:
Far Eastern culture and history, Samurai/Bushido/Shinto, Yakuza/Triads (I don't endorse crime though), Worldwide Military History (including WW1/2, Napoleonic Wars), Futuristic and Cyberpunk Stuff (wind turbines too) and the Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza PlayStation series as well as it's protaganist, Kiryu Kazuma. He's the manliest video game character ever forged.

Musical Tastes:
'Spacey/Futuristic/Cyberpunk' music (Synthwave, Trance/Dance, Psybient etc.), Metal (Sabaton, Korpiklaani, Trivium, Tyr, Powerwolf, Avantasia, Myrath, Fleshgod Apocalypse etc.), Traditonal East Asian music, Video Game OST's. I also like Queen, Bee Gees, SiM, Crossfaith, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, WORLD ORDER, Shonan no Kaze, RYO the SKYWALKER, The Killers, Empire of The Sun, The Prodigy, Gorillaz, MIGHTY JAM ROCK, Suiyōbi no Campanella and Wagakki Band and whole number of bands in different genres.

Types of Films I like:
One's about the following things - Samurai, East Asian history, Martial Arts, Fantasy, Medieval setting, The Yakuza, Sci-fi/Futuristic and comedy films that aren't cheesy and crap.
Akira Kurosawa's films I really like.

Favourite Gaming Platform
I don't play much, but I still have an interest in doing concept art and working in the games industry. It was PC/PS4 though.

Other Interests
Samurai, East Asian Culture/History, Manliness, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Space and other things.
I'm not dead. I just haven't drawn anything decent to put up yet.

I probably won't post anything in my deviations slot until I've done drawing for at least a year. Don't think I'm inactive. I'd just rather not post utterly rubbish stuff yet. ;) Other stuff will go in 'scraps'.
