# About me

Welcome to my page! I'm Spock/Haddock and I love a variety of fandoms, especially Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Pacific Rim, Fullmetal Alchemist, and How to Train Your Dragon. I would love to get to know about you, what you're interested in, and what you're doing creatively. I appreciate any comments you give me, especially constructive criticism - there is no such thing as too much of it. Hope you enjoy!

Primarily, I consider myself a music composer. I am studying to work in the music career world, so if you would like to collaborate for any project in any medium, let me know! In addition to music, I also dive deeply into creative writing - short fiction, novella, novel, poetry, etc. etc. etc. - and spend some occassional but no the less quality time with my colored pencils and pastels. This page is all of my artwork; if you would like to know about my other creative ventures, let me know! Some of my casual photography and writing can be found at shasta-rose.deviantart.com/ , my How to Train Your Dragon artwork, gifs, and more at kingofthewilderwest.tumblr.com… , and my cosplay at partycarrots.tumblr.com/ .

I use my art mainly as a venue by which to draw my original characters and their landscape (I love world building to a fault). Art also is a great manner by which to relax and reflect. Since I do not have the time to draw much, the times I do draw are usually when I am in a very set mood and need to express myself visually for a particular reason. Or when I'm bored in the middle of class, but I don't post those doodles here, and they hardly count as anything more than a conflagration of randomness, anyhow.

Feedback is more than welcome. Just keep in mind if I say something is a sketch or done quickly without an eraser, or something like that! Hope you enjoy!

Live long and prosper.

I know I don't know you very well, but I have very little friends and I hope you don't mind me tagging you. You don't have to do it, but I thought I'd tag you just in case. ^^

Have you ever done or considered art trade? We could do a Newt-for-Newt if you're interested. :3

Zarakoda In reply to Jamocha101 [2013-07-25 23:56:42 +0000 UTC]

I've never done an art trade before, actually! I gather it's just each party draws one picture for the other? A Newt-for-Newt sounds pretty fun. XD

Aha- it's expected of someone as amazing as myself! But it's a good thing. It lets me know that I will not be forgotten- and it is indeed my greatest fear.

So what are you going to do about it to make sure you're not forgotten? Nothing crazy, I hope.
