Career: I would like to be a character concept artist. But I am still flexible in what I would like to do.

Place to live: I would like a nice decent sized house, with a garden/backyard.

Nicole Partridge - A walk

Snippet of a morning routine

Nicole Partridge -Persona (late)

Persona is Jax. He’s 19, and in his emo phase. Has cropped bangs, with purple tips, he likes to wear a lot of graphic tees. Tries to be rebellious and confident but often comes across as cringe to others. He’s trying his best though, and genuinely likes what his aesthetic is. He’s also genuinely confident in himself. He quite likes neon colors and will use them in his art as often as possible. As well as paint his nails with neon nail polish. He’s not extremely picky in his music tastes, despite the stereotype for emo kids. Enjoys classic emo, modern emo, and surprisingly musicals. He has severe ADHD, hence why his art tends to be all over the place.

(This might be too much but eh. That’s that) (sorry it’s late)
