Litra
Who is Litra?As an overly angst-ridden Mewtwo in an existential crisis once said, "Who Am I?" My name is Alice, and I am a 23-year-old (soon to be 24, but I stopped keeping track) from the United States, currently living what could be delightfully described as a cesspool of a small town in Kentucky that I will not name for privacy reasons. Aside from the obvious, my hobbies range from watching documentaries related to ancient history, various things involving the occult, pushing my friends' buttons for giggles, and overall dabbling in whatever happens to catch my fancy. My overall dream is to move out of this place to somewhere more pleasant (thinking Canada) and establish a career as an artist. My favorite Pokémon is hard to peg, but they generally fall into those that can play like tricksters while fitting the aesthetic such as Gengar, Whimsicott, and Zorua and my favorite game to date in the series is Pokémon White or Alpha Sapphire. My overall favored game is Tales of the Abyss, but Devil Survivor 2 has a chance to rival it. Smogon BiographyOfficially, I joined the forums while the sixth generation was getting started only eight days shy of my birthday. However, I didn't really establish myself as an active member of the community (I am still not outside of chances to do art), spending most of the time lurking and posting in Orange Islands until dropping off the face of the forum some time later. When I came back, I had the equipment to do digital art and put most of my focus in Smeargle Studios (and sometimes the old Islands) until eventually becoming approved by a certain Swedish Quagsire and applying myself to the Smogon Flying Press where I would eventually become acquainted with lovely people such as anto and Tikitik. I'm not as active due to real life being as intrusive as airport security but I still take time to look around on PS and such. Art preferencesI have a huge, huge predilection for experimentation above everything else and actually advise doing it yourself since there is a lot to gain from breaking out of your comfort zone. I have used several art programs over the years but I eventually settled with simply Paint Tool SAI and Clip Studio Paint Pro in addition to a Wacom Intuos Art Tablet. Lately, I have been taking interest in some other programs but that is another time. I will often simply put in my favorite music to tune my head out and just draw. I like to do things like paint over the lineart after merging everything to achieve a painterly vibe or go crazy and abuse layer settings between art programs to get what I want. There is no set thing I do, but I do make sure to stay consistent on quality. It's kind of long-winded but that is to be expected from not have a set-in-stone style.
