Hm... I'm not the one to really talk about myself, but here I go.

My name is Mike Rivera and I my astrological sign is Aries. I am a self-taught artist and have been drawing for as long as 16 years at the least. I have always been drawing, not once have I given up drawing because some two bit self-rightous person wanted me to.

Brief Bio: I have moved around quite a bit during my life but not to different countries or states, mostly in the same city. Odd, I know, but it was done. I have been contstantly prodded and skewered by society's high acceptance to try and make me "fit in" to their moral and physical standards and so thus I have grown a disliking for other people around me because most are not meant for me to be around. I do have some friends offline, but I can tell that some of them don't really give a damn about me and would probably backstab me if the situation called for it. So, I have a pretty negative outlook on life at times because of that but who knows... maybe I'm meant to be alone to wallow in self pity and misery. I'm also diagnosed with depression and have to take medication for it. I am starting to draw furries/anthromorphic animals more than humans now, they are so cool to do and a lot more of a challenge than humans are.

Inspiration: I am inspired by artists who I adore the style of and who can probably understand me, I know very few people can fully do that... seeing that I'm rather cold and distant at times... being an insensitive bastard can really take its toll on me. Society did it! My main anime-style artist is Nomura Tetsuya, I think that's his name... the guy who did the character design for Final Fantasy 7 8 and 10, yeah. And my american/odd style inspiration is an artist on Side7 who I love the style of... his name is Dane W.

Contacting me: Contacting me is fairly easy, I am always on the Net... it's my second home and the people are so nice and understanding here, I feel loved. So, just drop me a line to chat or to request an art trade. Also, contacting me on messenger is easy as well.

Art Trade/Gift Art/Comissions: Art Trades are a certain yes. Contact me if want to propose a trade and I'll reply ASAP. Gift Art... again I will do my best to reply ASAP if you wish to for me to do an gift art for you. Comissions.... are an uncertaintly, you see I have a low opinion of my art, as do most artists I know, and I don't think my work is that high in quality enough to sell off to someone. So selling my work would probably a "NO". Oh yes, I'll just give you the guidelines of my Art Trade/Gift Art system right now so I won't have to go by it when you e-mail me about it. I will not draw humans anymore, do extremely yiffy art (furry porn), hentai, or any of that other suggestive themed stuff... it's just wrong.

I also ask that you do not take my art and repost it in your website. I do not plan on being a victim of art theft. I will, however, allow you to use it if you ask me first and give me credit for it... I can be your best friend or your worst enemy, the choice is yours, choose wisely.
