ANIMA

This was going to be more deep then this but I changed my mind, here a bunch of random 'tidbits' instead!

My Favourites:

Shows: (I watch mainly older shows, on repeat)

• Star trek (DS9, Voyager, NG, In that order. <3 close call with voyager and deep space tbh) (Favourite character is Tuvok)

• Seinfeld (shame about recent events though)

Honourable mentions: Red Dwarf (S3 through 6 is best imo), Adventure time, Golden Girls, Black Books

Games: 

• Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (My all time, nostalgic favourite. Its incredibly special to me. I also vaguely remember playing it with my oldest brother when I was very little too.)

• Persona 5 (Really inspiring and such an incredibly polished game. My leap board into JRPG's)

• Fire Emblem Three Houses (Dimitri's blue lions route <3) 

Honourable mentions: Super Mario Galaxy (1) (Anything galaxy themed is my achillies heel), ACNH (I grew up with AC), Sims 2 (Console. Alien all the way.)

Music: (I don't really listen to music) 

• Gorrilaz (esp. The Now Now) (I remember when I was a kid my oldest brother putting on Feel Good Inc on the TV music channel and liking them ever since, although I didn't like song machine and stopped listening.)

• Chopin (What an absolute legend, I picked piano back up a few years ago and my brother mentioned him, went ahead got a few sheets and fell in love with almost all his compositions.) (I want to be able to play all 4 ballades one day)

Honourable Mentions: Hwasa, Lexie Liu, Rachmaninov, Lizst  HERE is a new page for my piano playing! Check it out :3

Films: (I'm not really into films) 

• Lord of the Rings <3

Honourable Mentions: John Wick (1), Goodfellas & The Irishman, Constantine (A good "bad" film)

• Small mammals (squirrels, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs etc.)

Honourable Mentions: Otters

Foods:

• Pepsi Max <3 (Pepsi >> Coke)

• Chips

• Ice creams

• Cake (Coffee especially, my great-grandma used to make cakes alot, particularly a mean coffee walnut cake.)

• Biltong (My dad used to buy some for me as a kid every-time he would go to an African foods shop. I don't like jerky, too sweet.) 

Honourable Mentions: Ribeye Steak, Crisps, Pizza (I love a Hawaiian with lots of pineapple <3), Mint

Flowers/Plants: 

• Peony (Sarah Bernhardt, specifically I think) (My great-grandma had a garden filled with flowers including peony bushes which I fondly remember holding one in my hand and it feeling like a baseball.) 

• Newly, Magnolia (Due to how ancient they are being the oldest flower.) 

(+Bonus: Weeping Willow Tree's (I have strong memories of my childhood sat under a massive weeping willow and since I found out it was possible, I've always wished for my ashes to be planted with one when I die. <3) 

Sports:

• Swimming (I used to swim competitively all throughout childhood, quitting unfortunately before college-ish due to sudden onset fatigue.) 

• Basketball (I joined a club in college, though i wasn't very good at it lol)

• Badminton (Always enjoyed it, I joined a club breifly and think I did an school age entry level competition? I can't remember it though, I definitely didn't play it enough to ever place lol)

• Ice skating (I had a couple lessons, really enjoyed it but it was too expensive to continue, fun fact I can only go backwards :D haha)

Tidbits:

• I think Dino’s are so cool and terrifying but Im not off-hand knowledgable in the topic if you quizzed me. Extra fun fact: I can only remember half of a fact of something I've learn't, meaning everytime I start explaining something to someone I trail off and can't finish my point lol.

• I have been reading one book, the same book for over 3 years and still haven't finished it (I'm close!). (I've started others but finished none of them. They are almost all difficult non-fiction topics for me, I am placing every excuse into that lol.)

• I get easily nauseous and dizzy, especially playing video games. I have to stop playing often and cannot play most first person games anymore, which probably explains my leaning into JRPG's. I also have to be careful working on 3D art as that can cause it too. (I am also very sensitive to light and get migraines frequently in reaction to flashing (Im not epileptic though, just phobic). 

• I have had 13 piercings total so far, I have 10 currently (and have plans for 2-3 more (daith, naval, 3rd lobe)). (I saw someone in college with snakebites and knew instantly I wanted them eventually, they were my first piercing and healed so immaculately I believe it was meant to be.) 

• My portrait you see at the top is my actual profile drawn over. So apart from the stylisation, you could now successfully identify me. I do, in fact, have composite fangs at the moment as well. 

• My name "Bear from Beyond", was both to seperate myself from artists with the same prior name I had that I did not want to be confused with, and a lean towards my love for space. Intended as an online persona of an alien pretending to be human, but also keeping the prior bear theme I've always had online. The story is that they come from HD1, which is the furthest known point away from earth (currently). After being found floating in space by the star ship Lemon-San, they come to earth to learn what being a human is. I've not put much effort into drawing that specifically, but I really vibe with the whole alien thing.
