Can I draw art of your characters?
Of course! Please let me know when you draw my characters, I may not see it if you don't.

What program do you use?
Primarily Photoshop. I used Open Canvas, SAI and Painter in the past, but I prefer Photoshop.

How long does art take you?
It depends. The more complicated something is, the longer it takes. It can range from a couple of hours to 50+ hrs depending on how much the illustration demands.

My favourite show was Monk. Now I watch Bones, Psych, The Legend of Korra, Adventure Time and My Little Pony.

3) If you could be in any TV show/cartoon/video game which would it be? Why?
Fable II, but only for a little while. It would be fun to wander around and smoosh Balverines.

10 FACTS
1. I rarely eat cake.
2. I couldn't pay attention in grade school, so when I went home to do homework I'd teach myself everything we were supposed to have learned in class.
3. I'm asthmatic and it's very hard to breathe when people smoke. Please don't smoke in public places. Please don't start smoking in the first place.
4. My name is pronounced Uh-ran-duh. It's not from anything.
5. I highly dislike anger and try my best to not be angry. I believe anger should only be used as a tool to prevent people from hurting themselves or others. IE: Your kid is about to stick a fork in an electric socket.

Unfortunately I've been feeling rather overwhelmed with my responsibilities lately and haven't had much time to do personal work. I'm rather fatigued and shakey and haven't felt much like myself for a while.

Right now I need to focus on the things I need to do, so I may not be on dA very often. Please don't be offended if it takes me a while to get to your comments, and know that I am very grateful to all of you. I'll try to get more art up as soon as I am able.
