Hey all, Zanryu here. Some of you may know my name, but I’d be surprised if more than one or two of you actually remember me.
A bit about me… I’m a certified mechanic and work on a private fleet of buses for a transportation company. I’m a hobbyist pixel artist and an aspiring author - currently working on my very first book!
I’m also happily engaged and father of one beautiful little girl named Emma Rose.
Not much else to know that’s super important, but I’m an open book, so ask away if you’d like! Glad to be back.
Much appreciated, folks! Hoping things pan out long term - I don’t expect commercial success with Tolkien and Martin flooding my market at the moment, but if I can get my first book done, I hope the rest will come easier!
Luckily, I’m one with very few questions, so I won’t be here to harass you all so much!
I appreciate the well wishes, and it’s a genuine pleasure to meet you!
To be fair, last time I was here I was probably about 16 years old, so my work then is worthless compared to my recent stuff. Glad to be back however!
And I appreciate your support, it really means the world to me. My fiancée hates reading so I don’t get much support at home on that front - makes it hard to stay motivated. It’ll be a while yet before I finish, but I’ll definitely leave excerpts on FEU for people to check out!
Also, as for helping in the art department… well, if I can be of assistance, I’d be thrilled.
Welcome back and congrats on joining the dad club/marriage arena! I’ve wrote some stuff, too, but I can’t imagine trying to find time to sprite, write, dad, and work. Good luck on your endeavors! Your art looks great so far.
Honestly, I have to decide what is most important in periods - I have to balance my relationship, family, social life, spriting, writing, gaming, work and time to sleep. So more often than not, spriting, writing and sleep suffer most. I do what I can, haha.
