Hey there everyone! For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself u_u I'm Kristen, age 21 working as a trainee teacher - don't ask why. I play FFXI alot and despite my best efforts, I've always been dead broke; I hated farming, had no patience to hunt NMs, no capital to take up a craft... So one day I decided "Awe hell, I like painting, so why not paint for my LS buddies?" After a couple of portraits, a friend of mine asked me "Why are you not charging for this?"

That is how my little painting business began. All of my stuff is done in Photoshop, and I paint predominantly sigs for forums - which honestly only take slightly less time than a full blown portrait, which I also do. My gallery hosts some of the works I've done in the past, my little portfolio in my corner of the web.

So for those of you who'd like me to paint some art of their FFXI Characters or just about anything else, you can email me at ophiel@fableunity.com If you happen to be on server Shiva, I accept Gil as payment, if not then real cash will do u_U One cannot live on Rolanberry Pies alone, so feed this starving artist!
