# About me

The name's Xena Quill. Although some refer to me as "Kathleen."

I am an author, self-taught cartoonist, illustrator and artist. And to put it simply: I love what I do!

I enjoy writing science fiction/fantasy novels for young adults. My first novel (to be published soon) is The Legend of the Twelve Gems: Zannophia. Visit my website to learn more: www.xenaquill.com

As for art, I'm happiest when I have a piece of paper in front of me and a pencil in my hand. If I could, I would doodle and draw all day long. My primary works consist of cartoons and conceptual drawings, primarily in the cartoon style. I've been told by many (and I would agree) that my cartoons have an anime-esque style to them, which is surprising since I don't usually watch anime, nor am I an overt fan of it. As a new art student, I am beginning to try my hand at new art forms, stepping out of my comfort zone. I'm also a lover of Adobe Photoshop (my dad has used it for years and I've come to enjoy it as much as he has) so sometimes I will dabble in digital art. I also enjoy photography from time to time. I am currently teaching myself animation with the guidance of some spectacular books, and I have recently begun dabbling in storyboarding, so I'd like to add that to my official repertoire of art/media interests.

My dream job is to work as an animator, concept artist, storyboard artist, or maybe as a character/sets artist at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California. My secondary dream job location would be at Disney or Nickelodeon animation studios in Burbank, California.

I hope you like my art as much as I enjoy making it!

P.S. I am rather fond giving out llama badges, so if you comment on my artwork or if you send me a llama, I will definitely be sending a llama your way.

Favourite genre of music: Classical, easy listening, soft rock, oldies
Favourite style of art: all renaissance; mannerism; neo-classical; high/late classical; cartoon; sci-fi/fantasy; anime/manga
MP3 player of choice: iPod Classic
Wallpaper of choice: Nature; movie/tv/videogame characters
Skin of choice: Neon lights; sci-fi style
Favourite cartoon character: Sonic the Hedgehog; Danny Phantom; Ratchet & Clank; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Personal Quote: "The thoughts you think can never be un-thunk."

"Awesomest?" They're lots of crazy words and terminology in Doctor Who, so yeah, I'll take that word. :D (Big Grin)

yay :D (Big Grin) English is not my native langue so I am not always sure if something is a word or not. I do not always care though. I picked 'confuzzled' up somewhere and use it altough it is not official english.
It sounds so cute
