I'm Ryu, and when I was about seven my grandfather gave me a dead baby shark in a jar of formaldehyde. I would wrap it up in a yellow blanket and carry it around like a baby doll, but then one day I took it to school for show and tell. On the way home, it slipped out of the blanket and the glass shattered and I cried for days. :[

I am a mostly self-taught artist, and my normal medium is Copic markers. However, I've played around with Paint Tool Sai, and I used to use openCanvas all the time. My current CG work is done with Photoshop CS4.

I'm really shy, but I like to think I am also nice, so don't be afraid to talk to me if you want to. ;_;
