Melanipposhide bio
 Author has written 5 stories for Inuyasha, Fairy Tales, and Alice in Wonderland. Let me re-iterate. I am not a writer, I am an illustrator by trade and this is a sidetrack from all the other projects I should be doing. However due to the wonderful evils of RosieB, TallyMark and Forthright a few niggling storylines won't leave me alone and so I am going to attempt to exorcise them with pen, old photographs (I write on their backs) and the computer. May the makers have mercy on our souls. Dis-tressed is on back rolling a little while I thresh with hitches in Benten's lesson and I've started cross posting on Archive of Our Own. My illustration work can be seen up on deviantart under the username: "melanippos" and there is a little bit of sess/kag fanart there for some of the other authors work here on fanfic. Most of it is hidden in the scraps section. I am available to commission, time pending, more for non-fan-art than anything else but I am more than capable - especially if it assists pay my rent. You can also support my various projects by looking me up on as "Papertigress" and promoting or contributing to my tip jar there. |
