Skikkaböö!
I'm traditional painter/drawer from a deep, dark forests of Finland (or now I live in city, but still I'm the forest troll).
And I hate my user name here, I haven't used "Takaya" for ages, now I like to be Toxicdoll or Fleur de Lis.
I use Derwent's Graphite Pencils and Tinted Charcoals when I'm making black/white art, and Winsor&Newton Galeria -paints when I wanna get messy.
I'm studying at (house) painting school, and I get out from there probably after 2 years.
I love Moomins and Tove Jansson's Moomin-art, also Victoria Frances's gothic artwork. From renaissance-art I respect Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni as a painter (I don't like statues).
I'm also HUGE fan of Biker Mice from Mars.
ps. I don't bite. >8D
...They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard! O_O
