# About me
Welcome to this den of visualised horror, also known as my DeviantArt account.Most of deviants use their galleries to share their works, make profit from their art, provoke, amaze, etc. I am a troubling exception. It may sound weird, writing it just in front of your account. Most of people want the others to rate and comment their hard work. Yet, "what we call normality is only a circle of light around the fireplace", as Terry Pratchett said.
First of all, I'm too busy and lazy to upload my hand-drawn sketches (not to mention I'm not a sadist to lure anybody to look at them). Being a translator, I spend most of my time between ready commissions, works-in-progress and appropriate literature. Anyway, after a day of work, I like to relax by either reading, making custom jewellery (mostly different mokume gane techniques), writing scraps of horror and macabre that are too painful to show the others or drawing. Some time ago, I learned about photomanipulations, mixed media and so on. And then realised that I've done this before. As a translator on an international website, Slavonic Corner's moderator and map designer, I make awards for contests from time to time. Those are wallpapers (the most easy mean of prize to carry around as it's an international website) and avatars. After reading about photomanipulations, I thought that I could try my luck at this. It's quite similar, after all, to what I've done before. I also reasoned that I can make some wallpapers for my friends and myself to use and my DeviantArt account, previously used for aesthetic purposes only, might be useful as an online disc. Therefore, my gallery's fate was sealed.
To be honest, I really honour all real artists - stock providers and their users. I don't think of my works you can find in my gallery as of works of art - of any value. Coming up with a concept and putting other people's stocks together doesn't make the outcome an art. But I enjoy what I do and hope it won't irritate anybody. Anyway, you were warned.
Above all, I would like to thank and congratulate all the people for sharing stock I used, use or will use. You are truly talented!
Best regards,
Arlesienne
PS My rules can be found here . Don't ask me about the ridiculous war between my tag line and Stinky. I still lack an avatar. Stinky has only accidentally popped in and rejects any requests to move himself out.
EDIT: Our favourite magician VisAnastasis persuaded Stinky to move out! And look how wondrously my brand new avatar she gave me (I mean VisAnastasis, not Stinky) looks! sta.sh/01qsmrd7vvr8
Stinky made the deal: he resides within devID.
I still think I got a bargain.
Just think ho gorgeous the new avatar is!!! sta.sh/01qsmrd7vvr8
I'm not sure I should trust Stinky - it's Stinky after all - but I cannot resist the opportunity to wear this little miracle, at least for a time!

No problem. There's nothing as hurtful for a writer as bearing a story and being unable to write it down.

Absolutely my pleasure. You've got so many wonderful works. I should be subscribed, but my watch tends to go haywire every so often, so should you shoot me a PM or something like this when you submit something new for Shadowrun please?
