BIO
Just another average girl living the dream.
I'm known as "Witchy" in the internet. I'm also called "Macchan" to a few close friends
I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. My very first masterpiece was a drawing a normal-looking house. Except it was drawn on a wall. I got excited when my parents bought me my first set of crayons. I was only 3-years-old. Go figure. I also collect numerous Archie comics and other comic titles that weren't Marvel or DC. I started copying the art styles of every comic I managed to get my hands on. When my family decided to stay in the Philippines, drawing has become my passion and a way to ease my loneliness, since I had a hard time making friends. I was 12. Fast forward a few more years, I managed to learn more about art when I managed to get in the University of Santo Tomas (UST). On the way, I attended seminars and conventions that cater to comics. It was definitely worth it..
I'm considered a kid at heart, since I love anime, manga, comics, and cartoons, though I also love to watch movies and live-action series. But I really just love stories, especially if I get the chance to create my own story.
I draw men more than women. I role-play frequently. I love to play video games, research stuff, read comics and books, writing (and imagining) my own stories, and... well, draw. A lot.
