About Me
My name is Max and I'm a huge computer and art nerd.
I grew up and have moved back to a small town in the Appalchian Mountains, Pound. While I may not be the fondest of small town living, there's
just something about the culture that always gave me a desire to make things. Despite the inspiration from the mountains, most of my art is actually not centered around it at all.
I specialize in Fantasy art primarily, with a preference towards art that is heavily inspired by the Tabletop Roleplaying game, Dungeons and Dragons. Because of my preference for fantasy art, a lot of my art has
a lot of specialized lighting and glow effects in it to add to that specific aesthetic.
My Career Goal
My main Career goal is to do web design and development on a freelance basis, with a clientbase consisting primarily of artists like myself.
I'm a firm believer that an artists portfolio should represent them and their worlds of creations. I enjoy working closely with artists, learning about their worlds and lore, so that
I can help build them a one of a kind portfolio site that matches their universe.
Myself and a lot of other artists find that using online sites like Instagram, Deviantart and even Toyhouse to be really limiting in terms of customization. While they might be a great hosting site
to gain an audience, they don't really let the art stand out and shine the way it deserves to.

More Personal Information
I love all things creative! Art, gaming, cosplay, writing, etc. You name it, I've probably tried it.
I'm especially fond of Digital art and that started my love of computers really early on. I spent a lot of time on Tumblr, way too early in life, and once I learned how
to edit the HTML and CSS code for my blog, it really set me on the path to where I am today.
In general, I tend to hyperfixate on adult animation shows, my favorite of which is South Park. I've seen every episode + special and movie multiple times, as well as played through both of
the games at least twice.
Another Notable fixation of mine is the sims! Specifically Sims 4. I have a few thousand hours of playtime in the game since its release, and even make custom
content items for the game. I have a blog on tumblr (cherrydeathcc) dedicated to posting my creations. The community there has helped me further my
artistic skills and other computer skills like programming.
I have three cats, all named after Mythology related things. Atlas, Astra, and Adonis.
They're all orange with extra beans and no tails and they are my favorite little guys.
