About Me

Everything you ever wanted to know about me...it's here. Well no...probably not. But I have to keep you on your toes, right? ;)

Real Name: Krista A. Leemhuis, aka "Artemis", my RP title...By the way, "Artemis" came directly from Greek mythology--not from Sailor Moon.
Birthday: November 17
Art History: I've been drawing pretty much since I could hold a pencil...that's experience! I started doing digital art in (I think it was) 1997--possibly '96.
Computer Info & Hardware: I started doing my digital stuff on a Micron Pentium II (90 MHz)--which stunk but got the job done...sometimes. I moved to a Dell Pentium III (800MHz) and it worked wonders! Currently I work on a Mac G3 laptop which is okay, but I'll swear up and down that the Pentium III was faster...
I also use a Wacom Intuo (6x8) to do my artwork. :)
Software used: For art purposes, I started in PC Paintbrush (oh so long ago), moved to Corel Photo-Paint 4.0, then to Jasc Software's Paintshop Pro (Good program...if you're looking for a good, fairly inexpensive art program, check this one out at www.jasc.com) Finally I moved to Photoshop 5.0 and I'm currently working in 5.5. Some of my school work was done in Illustrator 9.0 as well.
Prospects: Currently I'm a student at the University of Cincinnati at the college of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning, majoring in Digital Design. As far as future jobs are concerned, all I know that I'll be doing something in digital design on the east coast... :)
Favorite TV Shows: Gargoyles, Friends, The Drew Carrey Show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nova, anything on the History Channel, Batman: the Animated series (the old ones...not the new ones), Superman (the new animated ones), The Invisible Man
Necessary Foods: Wild Cherry Pepsi (THE Drink of the Gods), Daiquiri Ice --from Baskin Robbin's (aka "Ambrosia" ~me), Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Favorite Movies: The Star Wars Trilogy (I'm not too big on Episode One, though), Anastasia (by FOX!), Gargoyles (of course), Austin Powers 1 & 2, Goldeneye, Top Gun, What Dreams May Come, The Patriot, Shrek was hilarious...(and well-modeled and animated too!)
Favorite Type of Music & Groups: I'll listen to most pop music, oldies, 70's & 80's stuff.
The Top Gun soundtrack is good...It's most definitely the best CD ever made. :) The Patriot soundtrack is great too! Definitely inspiring!
I also like the Star Wars soundtrack, the RENT soundtrack (sometime I'm gonna see that...), the Camelot soundtrack (from the play), the Anastasia soundtrack, both Savage Garden CDs
I love the Beatles. <3
Other groups I like are Savage Garden, the Goo-Goo Dolls, U2, Smash Mouth, REM, the King's Singers, Wings (ooh...surprise, surprise...), Vertical Horizon, Fastball, John Williams (though he's not what you'd call a 'group'...)
Favorite Stuff to do in my spare time (yeah, like I have much of THAT): Sketch, Talk to "Orion", Work on my website, go horseback riding, play Zelda (the new ones), watch the History Channel or Scifi...play Warcraft II & Starcraft (AAAAAAAAAGHH!!!!!! DESTROY!!!!!!!) O_O
Favorite Character I've created: I could tell you, but tomorrow you'd get a different answer.
Favorite Colors Imperial Violet as seen in the Prismacolor Colored Pencil collection, light green, anything neon-ish...like a glowey blue! OOOOooooOOOh! :)) Eh...all colors are good though, really.
