Well the reasoning behind me posting this picture is not rocket science. My other DeviantArt ID had been up since...oh I don't know...the dawn of time, so I thought it was time for a change. I figured that I would put a real picture of me this time (Shocking, I know), in order to avoid any unnecessary copyright issues. Posting fan art has become dangerous so I am going to try to post as much of my OWN work as often as possible from now on. *nod, nod* If you want to hear the full story on this, message me and I'll explain in full detail why DeviantArt is not a safe place for fan artists anymore. But enough of all that. I hope that you enjoy my new ID picture and I'll be sure to post more of my original writing and artwork soon! The 2006-2007 year is the year for me to start posting all of the stuff I've been to busy (and unmotivated) to post! So be sure to look for all of my new pieces!) Also as a treat for all of my loyal DeviantArt watchers I am actually going to post a bio of myself in the description box! So without further ado, here's a little more about me...

Prologue:

It was dawn; I was in my towel when the ninjas attacked...lol J/K Now on to the real story...I guess you could say I am an adventurer of sorts; I like to travel, camp, try new foods, and meet new people. Just call me "Emma" Jones!

Short Biography:

Hello all! My name is Emma Lee Downs (Better known as Lyra Alluse: my web mistress name), and I like...err....anything that isn't trying to gnaw off my toes really. I have a very open mind and would classify myself as a people person. My interests include writing, drawing, painting, crafting, sword fighting, dagger combat, archery, oriental style combat, and any other art form or fighting style that you can think of. I also LOVE ANIME. My favorite genres are fantasy and Sci Fi, though I do like my adventure books and movies; especially when lots of things blow up! Oh; pretty colors!! lol I HATE the genre of ROMANCE and someday will dispose of it completely with the help of my cat who is after world domination. I like strange people... (I am weird myself ^_-)...and tend to like doing funny things.

Interests:

Writing, drawing, singing, composing music, making independent films, the out doors, music, food, crafts, sword fighting, computers, video games, ANIME, cars, building models, collecting stuff, traveling, creating new ideas, inventing things, messing with people's heads (full time job ^_- lol j/k), dancing, running web sites, hiking, swimming, bmx-ing, extreme sports, yada yada yada. I'll try anything once...well except things that are bad for my health like boy bands. Bleck...0_0

Expertise:

I have extensive knowledge of all weapons and combat styles. I am handy at fixing things... (I am good with computers, software, and cars)...and I am good at creating anything I put my mind to. I even made a life size Darth Maul once! (I took it apart later after my sister complained that it looked too scary.)
