What's my name?
Nicole. However I tend to use my artist moniker, Niko (yeahz its snazzy). My friends have dub me the Oracle (like in the Matrix) but I prefer to think of myself as a Jill of All Trades and Mistress of None Some; mainly because of my scatter tendencies to try everything but never having the time and sometimes willpower to focus on one subject completely. I’m working on obtaining a level of focus in all the things I do, but sometimes I like that dog from the film UP. It almost as if... “Squirrel!”
Bounce with me
Fair warning, I tend to babble. I have so many thoughts bouncing about my cranium, and all of it wants to come out at the same time but unfortunately, I can only project one conscious stream of information at a time. However, for your reading enjoyment, I’ll try to keep it short and not overshare too much at this time. So, in general, I’m a creative soul - Life path 3 for those who follow numerology. I graduate with an B.A in Fine Arts but I work in IT - mostly customer service. I’m a writer with horrible grammar and spelling but at least I am trying! I think I have interesting stories to tell and I want people to read them.
The Dream
One day I look forward to having my stories on T.V as an animation. To achieve this, I work with a group of diverse individuals whom aim to bring their dreams to reality. Our group is called Alternative Universe Unlimited or AUU for short. Here is example a character from one of our main storylines.
My Group
As part of my responsibilities within the group, I take the original sketch art that is provided by our artists, digitalize it, then color like a maniac. In the in between time of the in between free time, I teach myself animation, collect skill knowledge, work on my 3D rendering, and digital painting skills. Here is an example of my digital rendering skills and airbrushing. I have a lot to improve upon, but I keep getting better with time!
Digital Render
Digital Painting (Photoshop)
I like...
People! I love interacting with people from diverse cultures and diverse backgrounds. I love learning about their history and trying to relate by telling them about my own life experiences. One of the most rewarding experience was living in Thailand for 6 months -Such wonderful people and a wonderful country! One day, I would like to visit Japan and perhaps go to China, and re-visit Thailand again. But for now, I’m too poor to afford traveling. But One day -ONE DAY ! -I’ll go, and it will be glorious!
