I suffer from Cluster Headaches, which are THE most painful thing on the planet (guys: it makes getting kicked you-know-where seem pitiful in comparison. Ladies: it even trumps labor, I'm not kidding, I got them from my mom, and she knows which hurts more).

However, instead of resigning myself to a life of misery, pain, doom, and, inevitably, eventually trying to escape by taking my own life, I got to thinking: what would Heavenly Father say to me if I took that route out? I realized it wouldn't be pretty. He'd be pretty sad. And that'd SUCK. You don't just go and repay the Father of your spirit with such ingratitude. So, I tried to make the best of the skills I was born with. However, I was just a number-cruncher with an over-active imagination! I had big dreams, one of which was about Dolphy, and his quest to save his spirit brothers and sisters in another universe (this one was an actual dream you get when you sleep), but I couldn't draw squat, nor could I do anything but crunch numbers.

So, I asked around and discovered that animation actually requires a bit of a knack for numbers, so I started studying Animation at Utah Valley University. After almost failing the first semester, I discovered I have hidden talent for drawing deep within me! I just need the right stimulation! And that stimulation is: music of a VERY specific kind. It HAS to fit the mood PERFECTLY, and it usually has to be a remix of a song from a video game I like.

Anyway, I've found that I picked the perfect school to go to: UVU has a lab full of these awesome computers called "cintiqs." No idea what one is? Well, it's like this: you take a tablet, and you combine it with the computer screen so you can actually see what you're drawing as you're drawing it! Still confused? Try this link: www.wacom.com/cintiq/ If you're still confused after that, I don't know, try Google.

Now, about my tastes in art. I prefer VALUES. I am appalled by the state our society has fallen into. I intend to change the world with only God's hand guiding me, back to a place where our children can safely walk through our streets and watch TV. I intend to scrub our society clean with only my pencil, paper, cintiq and pen (so please beware the occasional rant)! And Dolphy is the key! He will become an icon who will teach our children good, clean, CHRISTIAN values! The foundation of the universe he lives in is based on my religion, which can be found out if you look hard enough, but please don't bash me if you find out (I'm still human, you know!).

*Ahem* I seem to have gotten a bit carried away there, but I do have pretty lofty goals. I DO love furries, even though I'm a guy (does that make me weird, or have I never fully grown up?). If you want to roleplay with Dolphin or one of the other Elementals, just ask! The rules for Dolphin's universe haven't been fully established yet, but a lot of them have. If you want to use Dolphin (or one of his brothers and sisters) in your art, once again, all you have to do is ask! I DO require that you give me proper credit, however, since I'm going to make Dolphin an icon, but I'm not some stingy ogre. I'm very kind and open, IF PEOPLE JUST ASK ME FIRST. Nothing irks me more than people thinking I'm going to say "no," and stealing my work because they are too scared to ask! As long as you follow my moral limitations, you have nothing to fear.

Finally, seeing as Dolphin is a CHILDREN'S character, please, no foul language, derogatory comments, suggestive language, or the like. If you don't like my work, you are more than welcome to leave.

On the other hand, I DO welcome comments! In fact, it's by the quality of the comments I receive, not by how many views I have, that I measure my success! If someone simply takes a look at a picture I drew, a video I made, or one of the chapters I wrote, and decided, "wow, this really stinks," and left, that still counts as a view!

However, if someone tells me what they think, THAT actually has SUBSTANCE! I CRAVE feedback! Numbers on a screen only can tell me so much! I await your suggestions, compliments, constructive criticism, positive feedback, and whatever else you may have to say that isn't inappropriate.
