My Bio
Currently studying toward a double degree of an LLB Majoring in Law, and a BSc Majoring in Computer Science, I draw a fair amount on the side. It's often sporadic because of the demanding nature of my studies, but I experiment with digital painting and traditional sketch art.
Most pieces I don't finish, and of those that I do, only a few will make it on here. Though I'm getting in the habit of uploading finished pieces that I don't think meet my standard to my scraps page. My scraps is also full of my lineart too.
I like both styles (Digital and Traditional), I just do either one depending on how I feel about the picture when I begin it. I'll always start a piece with an end in mind, and it's interesting to see how they evolve from the beginning to the final product. I'm not always happy with the result, but I always learn something in the process.
I'm a gamer, as most people these days are, but only casual. I read avidly in my spare time and am a fan of crafts (though I've yet to make anything worthwhile).
Also, I apologize in advance, I will occasionally come off as insufferably rude, though I don't mean to be.
Me in a nutshell:

Been neglecting dA a fair amount recently...my studies are requiring a lot of my time, and the rest I have spare I just use to play WoW.
However, because I have no exams this semester, I currently have 5 weeks of holiday. Which I'm not using to study. I would never.
But I am alive, and paying some attention to dA again.

Well, as of Friday, I have received all my results from last semesters exams. I did really well, two A's and B+. Which is above expectations!
This means that I'm highly likely to be selected to get into the second year Law programme as they only take the top 200 of the 600 of us that took LAWS101.
Now that that's all out, I can relax and head on towards next year. Mostly focussing on saving money, and making sure I have everything.
Flatting shall be a grand adventure.
Otherwise, I've been playing faaaaaar too much World of Warcraft. But Mists of Pandaria is so much fun! And I haven't even reached the continent yet, all I've been doing is

And that's that. I finished my last exam half an hour ago. Fresher year is over. First year of University. It's been a hectic, lazy, fun and all round amazing time, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. I'm looking forward to my next four years here, as I continue my studies.
I'm gonna miss this place over summer, but come February I'll be back into it all. Now I just wait until the end of this month when grades are released. Finger will be crossed. :D
This also means I'm free to do more stuff! As of tomorrow afternoon, because I packed my scanner.....
Bring on 2013~! (and flatting :D which will be a whole new experience in itself)

Thanks for the favourite! I love your Avatar and name 
You're welcome! I really liked the piece!
Haha, thanks XD It was my XBL gamertag, and it's just stuck. I sorta evolved the name, and on a lot of places I go by ShokandAwe now. I'm quite proud of that avatar actually, it came out far better than I expected! Thanks
I'm glad you like them!
