Deviation Actions
I decided to participate in Art-House Co-op's Sketchbook Project this year. It was recommended that I give a website address, but, being a hobbyist (and college newspaper illustrator), I'm not out for selling my art right now and don't have it together enough to manage a real website. I realize that DeviantArt is sort of questionable, but my old account on here is about all I can manage right now, and will have to do. I am thinning it out a bit, but retaining my favorite "fanart" pieces because they're still a part of my expressive past. I freely admit that I have a history of anime infatuation, which has waned as I've grown up. I'm a lifelong fan of animation and cartoons, however, and it's certainly influenced me.
Please accept my regrets for the account name. I'd change it if I could, but it's a product of those silly bygone high school years.

No going back now
I used to maintain a strict separation between my 2D and 3D fan tributes, but now I've decided to publish some of my favorite cosplays from over the years here on DeviantArt. I've come to realize that all of these things are important parts of my artistic expression. There are probably more to come, so stay tuned if you are interested. I hope you'll forgive me (and call me out??) if I stray into tackiness (It's so easy to do that with photographs, especially those of oneself).
Je Suis...
Well, what can really be said? I thought about joining the chorus in response to the recent terrorist attack in Paris, because the freedom of the press (and especially of cartooning) is near and dear to me, as it is to many. One major obstacle: Everything really clever and powerful has already been penned in the past week or so (Oh, and to keep my Humble Hat on, I'd like to point out that I probably -- no, definitely -- couldn't have come up with material that good anyway...).
Then I remembered that I am -- Sort of, in a past life -- a published editorial cartoonist in my own right. I illustrated pro-bono for my university's student-run n

I'll be selling some art this weekend at Anime Central in Rosemont, Illinois. Come stop by my booth (Opallene Dreams, E24)! You know...If you want to...
Rebirth
Greetings! Let the rejoicing be heard in the streets; DeviantArt now allows username changes. (I kind of hope a rep is reading, because: Do you hear that, DeviantArt? That's one of the major reasons I stayed away for so long!) You may see pieces in this gallery signed "Aoi Umi" or "Aurorawolf" (former usernames from former lives) or even "E.D." (my real initials). I'm reviving this DA account because I'm back on a fanart kick and I still like my old pieces enough to be associated with them. So please look, enjoy...Welcome!
