# About me

I am a character designer with some training in classical animation. I was born and raised in Northern California and I like it here. Anime and Anthropomorphic styles have heavily influenced my drawings and many of my original characters are depicted in those styles.

I am also the founder and artist of Ratgirl Productions. Through my business I make convention and gallery appearances, create original works to sell, and do freelance commission work.

I use traditional as well as digital mediums in my art, and sometimes will mix up various mediums into one single piece I am working on to attain the right look.

If you enjoy my works, or would like to talk to me, please leave a comment or send a message. Thanks for reading!

**NOTE** Please don't take it personally if I do not thank you specifically for faves or watches. I am not intentionally ignoring anyone. I do appreciate it and thank you for enjoying my work, but my inbox fills up with many notifications. I do my best however to reply to messages, questions, and comments.

Favourite genre of music: Rock
Favourite style of art: Anthropomorphic and Fantasy
Operating System: Windows 7

Yay! I found you. It was so cool talking to you at ESG. Can't wait to see you again at Califur.
By the way, I was looking through your gallery. It's so cool to see more of your artwork. It's so cute. :) (Smile)

Aw thanks man! I will make sure to watch you here as well. ^_^ It was great seeing you both at ESG and Califur, you heading to any other conventions soon? Take care my friend and expect your mini badge soon!

SciPhiFox In reply to ratcabob [2014-06-05 04:41:33 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you so much for watching me. That's so nice of you.
Awesome. I can't wait to see it. :) (Smile)
I'm not sure where I might go convention-wise. The only one I know for sure that I'd like to go to is Further Confusion. BLFC is another I hope to go to. Of course the next ESG since it's right in town. Maybe Arizona Fur Con. I'd love to go to Anthrocon, but the cost of travel is a bit too much to justify at the moment until I have a source of income (currently unemployed). It somewhat depends on what cons some of my friends go to because I need to be able to roomate with people, and plus, I may be able to arrange a ride with them (driving myself seems like such a costly waste of gas).
