----BASICS:----
Name/Nickname: Kailey! I've sometimes been called other things like Woosh or Boops cuz of my username but I prefer it most when people just call me by name! Kailey! :D
Gender: A lady but like in a guy-ish way. Not quite masculine but like. In a butch way.
Pronouns: She/They! No preference for either, but it's always cool when people use They since most default to She!
Age: 28!
Location: Canada!! More specifically, in the Eastern Atlantic area.
Fun Fact: I animated for the 3D Inspector Gadget reboot!! Specifically seasons 2 and 3.
Hobbies/Interests: Drawing, animating (2D and 3D), playin' video games, designing characters, and lots of reading!
Dream Job: I already do my dream job!!! :] I'm a full time 3D Animator for kids television! Have been for about 8 years now! Someday it'd be pretty cool to work on a movie I think, though.
----ART:----
Favourite Medium: Digital! Tragically I just don't have much patience for physical/traditional artwork pFFT
Favourite subjects: My ocs!! I just ADORE drawing my characters more than anything. But when the mood strikes me, I love drawing lush/overgrown forest scenes, and space!
Favourite Artists/Inspiration: My friends, of course, my beautiful girlfriend, rain, nature in general- but to name a very specific artist, I absolutely adore Anastasia Trusova's work! Just stunning painting skills all around, admiring her work always gets me so inspired..
Favourite period of art: I'm not too sure I have a favourite period specifically! But I don't think it'd be wrong to say Art Deco (1910 ~ 1930's) is pretty stellar.
Piece you're the most proud of: EVER?? Gosh. That'd be so extremely hard to say!! I don't think I have one single piece that I'm The Most Proud Of, Ever.. But if I had to name a couple, I'd probably link to these ones! Here, here, here, here, and here!
How long have you been creating: My whole gosh dang life!! Professionally I've been in the animation industry for 8 years, but I've been drawing ever since I was like.. 4, or something.
How did you learn: Self taught for the most part, but I did take 2 years in college for General 2D/2D Modelling, Rigging, Animation, etc! I got to take some amazing classes that introduced me to 3D as a medium in general, and awesome Life Drawing classes that SERIOUSLY helped me improve my style!!
How long does it usually take you to make something: Abooout 2-3 hours, nowadays? If I were to really seriously sit down and draw something with a proper background and shading though, upwards of 8 hours I think! (Not straight though I take breaks!! KJSFNDSFDKLJ)
What's the big project you haven't got around to yet: OOOUGHE one day... ONE DAY I'd absolutely love to make a multiple choice visual novel type game with my ocs! ;o; Maybe someday...
----TAG:----
Tag five people: If you're reading this- feel free to do this yourself!!! >:D I highly encourage it! It's always fun doin' these memes
Who tagged you: Nobody, but I saw Gene had done it like 2 years ago and thought it'd be fun!! :] WOO
Blank meme: Can be found here!
Hi!!!! :D First journal here, lookin' forward to hopefully posting more here in the future!! This place feels super cozy, and super reminiscent of the old days on dA! I think my only problem thus far is that I can't seem to find the art feed for the delightful artists I'm following..? I've found that I can just do a search and filter the search to people I follow, but it's not quite the same as clicking to go to a page where I can see all the artwork I've missed since I was last here. Aside from that this place is lovely! :] I'm sure I'll get used to this eventually.
Also pardon the sorta bare layout of my page at the moment, I haven't found the time to customize it all properly yet!! So it's all just kinda... Loosely Boops themed. Though I've seen some people's pages and they look AMAZING so far, I'm excited to decorate mine!! Also I'm endlessly endeared by the fact I can just make the cursor on my page a lil Boops though this is the best site ever gjklnFSDKJLNFSDKLs
Anyhow- thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to read my journal here, and I hope you have a lovely day!! Take care out there!
