❝   what does 'professionalism' really mean if just another subjective definition, made by mankind?

Nivek Shaver

multimedia digital artist...Now, obviously, I'm no Nivek Ogre, but I can say I'm a pretty big fan of his music, that's clearly the only reason why I adapted it into my pen-name. i am an adult, freelance, multimedia artist specializing in digital illustration and character modeling. i am somewhat of a hobbyist author on the side of everything and plan on one day self-publishing my own novels.

more about me

answered in a qna style"why art? what keeps you going?" - coming to understand myself (selves) and my comorbid disorders, I realized that they were always my hugest inspiration to continue drawing and expressing myself to begin with. music was (is) my right-hand man in the process, keeping me driven no matter what. I am not afraid to express realism, brutal truths, and horror of the real world and traumatic sufferings in my art, and feel it is necessary to preface that it may not always be the best for a larger, general crowd. I aim my creations towards users who are as esoteric as I, only those who truly understand emotional depth and humility as much as I do.

"give us some random facts about you." - firsthand, my digital representation of myself is so far beyond the person I really am. maybe I just come off edgy on the internet, but it is just how I am most comfortable representing myself. you may address us by any pronouns. I am genderfluid and apathetic to all pronouns used on me. i really haven't moved on from old internet humor/culture in the slightest. i have no interest in consuming modern-day media."what are your main interests?" - right now, it is especially industrial music and aesthetics (like skinny puppy, front line assembly, 16 volt, pitchshifter, etc...) i've got a thing going aviation (bombers, specifically) and cars. i don't really interact with fandom people, but i post a fair amount of fanart for stuff i like... currently, i'm a pretty big fan of eddsworld. i'm a million years late to it but someone introduced me to it and it's a lot different than i imagined it was. the half-life series and half-life: but the AI is self-aware also have hell of a choke-hold on me. transformers is my special interest.

digital illustration

all of my art is created by hand using the programs Paint Tool SAI and Gimp 3.0 (for post edits.) my tool of choice is the Wacom Intuos (CTL-4100K-N model.) AI is never used to aid the creation of any of my art.
