    Red face Hello :)

    I go by Sam, or Samu. And I don't really know what to say about myself. I am a freelance artist, working specifically in illustration and sequencial art [comics/graphic novel], but I also do portraits and experimentation with different styles and media. I've had many people who have a lot of experience in the art industry tell me I have talent and can go anywhere, not to brag or anything. So if you are interested in a commission, feel free to ask. I always work out cheap prices for the work, so money shouldn't be too much of a problem.
    But about my writing, I mainly work on novels because I can't seem to make my ideas small enough for short stories. I do a lot of fanfiction, but they're more like taking characters and mixing them with my own for an original plot that seemed cool in my head. A lot of the time, I do these with grand ideas and sequels planned, but as I go, I start to think about replacing characters and making it publishable because I'm so proud of the story. XD I hate to call myself a fanfiction writer though... It's kind of hard to explain.
    Other than that, I do have original novels in work and I do poetry as well. And it's not all angsty preteen stuff.
    Holy crap, I need to stop talking about myself. D; I'm shy at first, but I'd love to meet and talk to people. Don't be afraid to say "hi" or something.

    Hi, Sam! Welcome to WF! It doesn't surprise me that you are an artist and a writer both. Though they supposedly involve different halves of the brain, the need to express an idea ties them together in some way. I run a photo art site myself, and just had to put a small writing forum on it. Many of my members did post their writings. And I see that this site has a small forum for images. Arts do have a common thread.

    Hope you enjoy this huge site, and don't get too lost. I am still finding my way around! Look forward to reading your posts.

    Samu, huh? Like a Japanese-accented Samu, as in "Desu"? Cool.

    Welcome to WF, and may I direct you to our Visual Arts section. Our resident Graphic Artist, darknite, isn't active nowadays but he, along with MJ Preston, are some of the coolest graphic designers here. I hope we get to expand that list with you! Looking forward to read one of you your graphic novels!

    Hehe yeaaah, Samu is the only remnant from my middle school/weeaboo years. I just stuck with it with my friends and on the net. At least I never made people call me that in real life.
    Thank you! Sorry, I'm horrible with replies...
