About Me
- Name: Steph
- Location: Somewhere near the borders of The Dreaming
I am Steph and I am an artist. I live in my head most of the time. I think in pictures. Sometimes words just get in the way. I love peanut butter. I get bored easily. When I was 12 my best friend and I created the FFF (Federation of Fellow Froggists). We made an alternate universe populated by frogs. I still have the maps and my membership card. I wanted to be an astrophysicist until I discovered that it involved a lot of math. I decided to stick to reading science fiction. I cultivate moods. I forget to drink my vitamins sometimes. I have vivid dreams. I have recurring ones about vampires. My high school friends and I tried to form a band called “Shelob’s Lair.” I quit my guitar lessons after a week of having callused fingers. I liked our logo though. I almost didn’t graduate from college because of Spanish so I swore that I would never go to Spain. I lived there for 5 years. I love chai tea. I drink too much coffee sometimes. I believe in magic. I really want to have a cat.

Pretty cool, I like all the detail and great idea.
Wow, this makes me feel really uncomfortable. I like the theme roots, will be interesting to see what you do for it.
Steph--this is pretty amazing--one of the more thought-provoking ones I've seen. Excellent drawing here--keep it up!
Is she from them, or they from her, or am I just missing the point, whatever, this is a really disturbing illo, made even moreso because of the detail and that helpless, scared look on her face.
wonderful pen and ink; nice and clean illustration asking so many questions. is she protected from the things trying to get her; so protected that she can not make an escape.
also like your icon leaving the same kind of questions; are you sinking or emerging?
This really illustrates how trying to control everything ends up in nothing but negative results for the controller... Your line work is very good...I like the expression on the face and the way she's surrounded by all the swarming roots.
Pretty image - I like your way of drawing details and your symbol-drawing. It's not especially funny to suffer of control-syndrom, you shows us very clearly, the emotions is great drawn too. I really like it!
nice dorwing
