Hello everyone!
Jordan Marlene here! Once an inactive member of dA, and now working to become more active again!
I've been a member of the dA community since I was about 10-years-old. I was predominantly drawn to dA by the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom, as I've always been a fan of the speedy hedgehog since I was a kid. I dibbled and dabbled into other things as well, like Anime (Naruto), Avatar the Last Airbender, and other artists I found super amazing and talented!
I started becoming inactive around the start of my freshman year in high school. As I started to get older, I realized that most of the friends I made on here had either went M.I.A or they just moved on to bigger and better platforms to showcase their works. I also became busier in my personal life as I started getting higher into my education.
Fast forward to now, I'm a 22 year-old college student majoring in art with a concentration in graphic design. My current minor is Spanish, though I may or may not drop it depending on how I want to go about completing my major so that I may graduate within five years.
I wanted to start being active on dA again because this website has always had a special place in my heart. It's the very first platform I felt I could go to and actually indulge into the things that made me the happiest. Not only that, but I was also surrounded by people who were just like me, and shared common interests. I miss it, to make a long story short, and I want to take advantage of it again by uploading not only my work, but also by doing commissions in exchange for a little income while I'm still in school.
It's hard trying to maintain a consistent job with classes filling up most of my day and homework keeping me busy on the weekends. So if I can make money doing what I love the most, then that would be perfect!
Well, I hope after reading all of this, for those of you who actually read to the end, you feel enticed by my story and are encouraged to follow and support me! I'm sending an automatic thank you for any Llamas, Favorites, and/or WATCHES! ^^
