United States
I am a college student currently earning a degree in programming (2-year) and industrial computer applications (4-year). I decided to take a business major over an arts and sciences major because I hate learning foreign languages, when you have to take 4 semesters of a single language to graduate. I took up drawing to impress a girl in junior high and have been doing it ever since. I started out trying to do nothing but anime, but as I took classes in drawing, western elements kind of seeped into my drawing style.
Currently, I'm employed as a SA to a webmaster, so in addition to a part-time job, I have to maintain a 12 credit hour minimum.

Tools of the Trade
Tangible: mech. pencils, ball-point pens, drawing pad (hoping to get a touchscreen to work on), and super-smooth paper (aim for at least 50 lbs.); Software: Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Gimp 2 (for .dds manipulation), Creation Kit/GECK, UDK, JDK, and others.
Other Interests
While I like doing a lot of pencil and pen drawing, my major talent lies in writing code, which is what I'm going to college for. I also design levels in video games, which is very tedious (thank <your preferred deity> for snap-to-grid).
