enthousiasme

Hey everyone! I'm LiLi and I am a 20-something female from the USA currently living abroad in Australia who loves video games, film, art, and communicating with other people who love those topics, as well. ;) I previously worked as a professional web developer/designer + IT/networking tech for many years but left the fields altogether in 2010 to focus on what I loved to do versus what society said I should do. Digital art - particularly fandom art - is one of the avenues I have ventured down as an artist/entrepreneur and most of my works are available for purchase as many different products via my storefronts on RedBubble and Society6.

I'm an avid follower of many a fandom but the biggest ones for me include: The Legend of Zelda franchise, Nintendo in general, The Lord of the Rings and the Tolkienverse, Game of Thrones, Assassin's Creed, The Chronicles of Narnia, Studio Ghibli productions, The Sims, The Hunger Games, and others. Expect the majority of my art to fall into these fandoms, though. ;)

I am also an avid lover of linguistics, ancient anthropology + warfare + history et al, heraldry, art/architecture, religion, and other antiquated things and I frequently try to work them into many of my pieces. Persian, Greek, Egyptian, and Medieval European elements are generally the ones I steer towards the heaviest.

Some of you may know me as ever-so-excited on deviantART so hello to all of my fellow deviants who also may be out there on FC! :D
