Artist Profile:

Phacoschwein

‘Ello, everyone! You’re now reading the profile of an aspiring character designer/animation director/voice actress (depending on what happens) who has Asperger’s Syndrome, refers to herself in the third person, is toonosexual and an inmate of a boarding school in the untamed wilds of England.

She’s on this site for one reason: because she loves to draw Pumbaa, others of his kind, and others from his movie. She usually does so in coloured pencils, but is currently in the process of acquainting herself with acrylic paints – and desperately wants to learn how to use Paint Shop Pro 8 properly (she always struggles with layers), so any advice would be much appreciated!

Why does she continue to stick out like a sore dew-hoof as a warthog artist using traditional media among lion artists using digital media? Well, maybe it’s the fact that real media pictures are something she herself made with her own two hands (or hooves), and that using a computer to cover up the effort and passion she puts into her artwork just makes it seem… well… fake, like the celebrities who have make-up in lieu of skin.

As for the warthog thing… well, they are awesome animals. C’mon, admit it: you’d SO be drawing them too if it was cool X>{:D

Note also the use of warthog smilies: see the tusks > and snout {: ? They crop up often in her picture descriptions and comments, so fear not: they don’t bite.

Be aware that Phacoschwein is a writer as much as an artist, and therefore will not hesitate to use the full extent of her vocabulary, resulting in outrageously long descriptions and comments. However, don’t let their length intimidate you: read them in as much detail as you can, and you just might learn something. :>{:)
