juliewolffang64Coming over from Blogger under Google, I was trying to look for something similar to LiveJournal without the messy Google stuff. Someone had given me a suggestion from Pillowfort to give this site a look.
First thing: I'm Julie and yes, I use my real first name not because of lack of cyber security knowledge (very aware of this being a risk) but because I just feel comfortable with doing so. I blame Facebook for that "garbage" thinking but I think it's due to the fact that they will figure it out eventually might as well throw the bone out. I could come up with a trillion answers to use as a response to why but I know not a single one would be considered sufficient enough. Age is not really important to display here but I'm an Aquarius sun and moon with Virgo rising (I think). I have been exposed to the WWW of the planet since about the early 2000s. I had played Neopets and such just like every other millennial child. Never really dabbled in HTML or CSS aside from copying and pasting other people's code with credit.
Very much on the spectrum of Autism - level 1 more than likely. I understand why I'm considered high functioning, but some days I'm far from that... My go to hobbies have been casual gaming, reading, and drawing. The last one I've been into since elementary school and didn't go full throttle until late middle school. Sonic the Hedgehog had been a big influence for my art but I think I can contribute the idea to draw again to my discovery of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod.
Post high school, I ended up doing college for a couple of years and got an associate of art and design degree. Haven't been able to do much with it but I still consider it an impressive accomplishment. Much to the dismay of the media's interpretation, I'm not at all a math master. I blame college algebra for that mess... Art socials were a thing I had heavily avoided due to just not being very interactive with people, but also because I loved my pieces way too much to risk them getting bamboozled by other folks that want credit for something they didn't make. I personally don't want recognition for my works, but I have been trying to break free from the idea that popularity equals success in the social world.
As far as what I draw, it's mostly safe for work unless marked otherwise. Traditional is my go to while very rarely I will try my hand at digital on my phone. The style I have used is inspired by most of the Japanese animation and manga of the past years/centuries.
DeviantArt was one I had used back then as well as Tumblr. Left both after a while due to a lot of college stress and just drama took center stage a bit on dA... Granted, I did return to the latter in the form of the secondary account when they had issues with accounts being banned for strange reasons. Most of my footing back into it was actually Artfol of all places. Then I slowly began to try other spots and left a few as well.
As for why I chose here, it's simply because I wanted something similar to Blogger but not owned by Google and something like livejournal but a little more active.
