My name is Stormi. I am an amateur, freelancer. I *almost* have a degree. But, I took a break from the college career when I couldn’t figure out what I was that I wanted to do with my degree. “I didn’t need a college education to draw,” was my go to line. It was more so me being scared of getting 2 semesters away from graduating, and potentially having to move across country in order to find a career in illustration. I wasn’t into therapy or teaching, so that was out and I tried to make a comic once and it was too much. It didn’t help that the school I was going to was very competitive and I felt out of place (I also got engaged and had a child so that changed things a bit).
SO. Here I am. I’ve had this deviantArt account for over 11 years, and it has seen a lot. My account has evolved dramatically over the years as well. It started out as Porcelain-Wolfsbane (I think, it’s been so long I barely remember!). I did mainly wolf drawings with the occasional dragon or other critter and I was very close to entering the “furry” territory. I drew a lot of anthropomorphic wolves.
Fast forward and now my account‘s name is PrismaWolf. I was still in the wolf game when the name change happened, and at some point I will likely change it again to reflect my other art accounts so it can be consolidated. But now my art tastes have changed and hopefully improved!
I want to specialize in paleo-illustration and creature concepts and design. By "specialize" I mean that's what I do best at drawing and want to improve on, but by no means am I the best or a specialist in the field. I also like to draw cute things. I have an unhealthy obsession with dinosaurs and you can sometimes find me vegging out to a cool, open-world video game or binging on YouTube. I try to balance it out with the occasional hiking trip. I do a lot of freelance work while I figure out my place in the universe and plan to not end up living in a box.
I am also a full time retail associate (yay) and a mother of one small child and a feline kitty cat. The child was very much unplanned, but he gave me the biggest boost in motivation to do what I want. I would only want him to do the same as he grows up!
I’m working on getting enough to be able to get the Core Membership so I can officially change my name. I want my username to reflect my other art platforms (StormosaurStudios)!
