     I never really gave an online bio much
thought before, but I guess I could start with one now. So...Heya,
everybody! I go by the monicker of Tujoma Musaki. I'm just another
no-name artist with high hopes and and wishful optimism. This is more
often than not dashed by a rapidly diminishing time table. I've got
this affinity towards artistic pursuits with a focus on using a
digital medium for my art. I used to be a staunch traditionalist,
with pencil, india ink, quills and nibs, and prismacolor markers my
avenues in medium, but that all changed ever since I purchased a
Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet.


     What do I like? I like sketching,
illustrating, and coloring my own pictures and comics, as well as all
manner of other art projects on the side. Currently, I'm heading five
separate and distinct comic series, mostly on Deviant Art and
SmackJeeves. It's been pretty slow going, but I feel as though I'm
slowly getting the hang of it. They're not the greatest, but it's
something that I'm working on as I try to learn the ropes of making a
decent comic. They're meant to embody my interests into a physical*
(more like digital) form, and to set my large cast of characters into
separately branching stories. I'm also slowly getting back to a
traditional medium for some artworks, using prisma-color markers
(poor man's copics,) colored pencils, pencil, and india ink like
before.


      There's also my crafting pursuits,
where I try to make things out of any materials I manage to get my
hands on. Mostly props and costume aesthetic type stuff, but there's
also some practical utility type stuff along the way. My crowning
achievement thus far was a working Pipboy 3000, but it bears only a
vague resemblance from what's seen in the Fallout series. If I have a
need for it, but cannot go out and buy it at a decent price, I'll try
and make it myself, so long as it's within my skill-set. I've also
sort've gotten into the whole cosplay scene, mostly as the Lone
Wanderer from Fallout 3, with various references to the older and
newer games.


      As far as writing pursuits go, I've
often entertained the idea of writing stories, or perhaps even a
book. For the most part, it only comes to focus when I write an
“elaborate” description and backstory for the pictures that I
submit. I have also been an avid role player in the past, with a
focus on action, adventure, romance, drama, the occult, and fantasy
themes worked into the stories. That's kind of languished over the
past few years due to the transition between school to recent
employment, but it's something I'm starting to get back into.


      In the realm of gaming, I've become
more of a casual gamer these days, which is just another time-sink
that I could be using for better pursuits. IE, working on artwork,
improving myself, or looking for a better job. For the longest time,
I was a Nintendo Fanboy, up until the release of the Wii and their
recent poor performance. That pretty much turned me away to Sony and
Steam. It's mostly been computer online multiplayer games as of late,
such as with Day Z and War Thunder. Day Z, the online hiking
simulator that happens to have zombies and jerk-bag competitors that
want nothing more than to see you dead. Then there's War Thunder
where you take to the skies in various air-craft that become
available to you as you level up. Still got a 3DS, though, if anybody
wants to swap friend codes...for what that's worth.


      Being a fresh college grad, I've only
just started work, and my rapidly diminishing time-table is owed to a
shifting schedule. I'm generally still open to smooth, casual
conversation and meeting new people. Can't promise I'd be the most
entertaining of conversationalists, but I guess that's just a
reflection of my mundane life. These days, it feels like friendships
and acquaintances have a high rate of turnover in all aspects. Funny
how that works, but ah well.


      Just a little insight on me, from what
little I put down about me..
