# About me

I'm a graphic artist specializing in desktop publishing and digital art. Honestly, I haven't taken a single college art class (I have nearly all sciences haha), but what started as a hobby is now a real career. I started writing fanfiction and goofing around on oekaki boards, but later put my skills to use doing anything and everything design related for a local youth organization. After I started to freelance, I got the chance to join a non-profit, and here I am today :) still learning every day, still using GIMP and free trials of pro software, still planning to go to skill to learn everything there is about graphic design.
I'm 21, married, with a kitten.

Oh. Just busy with life. Finishing out school for the year, look for another job, and arrange internships. How is the married life? Oh! So remember that one-shot you and I wrote a long time ago? Where we roll played Sakura and Izumo? I am going to include that story into my ongoing fanfic Metamorphosis. Bwahaha!!!!!!!

Maahiyum In reply to lineCra [2011-05-27 20:09:41 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, i remember doing it and how crazy it was, I'm going to have to read it again. Or maybe I'll just read it in your fanfic
I've moved to a new city, it's like a southern town pretending not to be southern. But other then the accents, I like it. People are really nice.

lineCra In reply to Maahiyum [2011-05-28 07:23:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I was thinking about how can Sakura really annoy Kakashi? Then I was all...how about having our two gate keepers of Konoha (Kotetsu and Izumo) become really close with Sakura...and maybe possibily move into her house. Bwahahaa .

How is the married life treating you? What are you doing career wise now adays? I have one more year of college left and a marriage to start thinking about (well engagement has yet to happen haha ) But life is good over here. What city did you move to? Man I ask alot of questions. Haha...

I got married, I've got a job doing design and layout on a newsletter, and i'm building up my professional portfolio >O<

whats up with you?

Makola94 In reply to Maahiyum [2010-08-13 18:49:12 +0000 UTC]

Um. wow. You're busy
On my part of the world, "celebrations" for independence day are in progress. well, subtly. because of the flood and the airplane crash and the target killings. not that we're not trying to cheer things up, but it's just weird somehow. the only happy thing is ramadhan of course. feels so good to be fasting again.
Oh and i got my GCE result. i gave two papers in may 2010 and the results are as follows:
Islamiyat- A* 95%
Pakistan Studies- B 78%

That's...it :]

Your test results are really great!
So which are you going to pursue further?

Oh yeah, Ramadan MubaraK!

Makola94 In reply to Maahiyum [2010-08-21 12:25:02 +0000 UTC]

well right now i'm planning to get done with o levels. eight papers to give in may 2011. then i'll decide finally what i've got to make out of myself. was planning to do something in law, but law's messed up here ironically.
but anyway, that idea is in the top shelf for now. or could go for islamic studies. not so sure. everything depends on my further grades.
keep praying my virtual baji. i am!

I LOVE your fanfics
especially Morbid Curiosity and A Morbid Acuteness of the Senses!! I was going to review it last night but my dad made me get off the computer. D:
anyway, just droppin by to say hi! I can't wait until the next chapter it out. xD

..I sound really annoying, don't I? sorry. >_>

Maahiyum In reply to CookieCrazy [2008-12-31 04:23:47 +0000 UTC]

XD
not all annoying
I write those fics mostly because of my fans. If I didn't get as much appreciation, I would have given up on them long ago -___-
SO THANK YOUS SO VERY VERY MUCH!
It's because of super awesome fans like you that I stay up each night after a pile of homework from hell just to type those fanfics. CookieCrazy, you made my day/night, next chapter is dedicated to you and the one that left a really long review on my last chapter.

and thank you so much for the dedication!! i feel loved xD

I also liked Bandages, your TobiSaku oneshot. Tobi was so adorable. (:

Maahiyum In reply to CookieCrazy [2009-01-02 01:28:16 +0000 UTC]

lol thanks, I'm a doodler before a writer, but my writing is better then my drawing skills. there's better artists out there then me
and no prob. I've been actively working on the next chapter for both my main fics.
Bandages was a short, sweet, moody ride. Too bad Tobi is actually an evil mastermind >:]

yay! i got your da watch!!!!

man, i'm flooding your inbox pretty fast!


but normally, i wouldnt talk to anyone (stranger issues!)... this time its easier because you're from my country!

Maahiyum In reply to Makola94 [2008-09-22 04:01:27 +0000 UTC]

stranger?
pfft, I believe that the world is moving into a more globalized society. I actually have some really really good internet friends that i've never even met. We chat all the time. Mokana-Chan and Neonn. Of course, they know my real name and stuff, but they're the exceptions to my rule of never giving out personal information on the internet...(only because we've done favors for each other.)

Funny enough, I rarely talk to strangers, but since you commented on my Paki Pride pic originally, I kind of felt more secure.

Makola94 In reply to Maahiyum [2008-09-22 04:07:17 +0000 UTC]

same here.. this is the first time i'm talking to um.. a 'virtual' friend...?
dunno what to call it.. but it's more or less like the idea of pen pals... though we're not writing full fledge letters or anything.. but you know, talking, in just a couple of minutes!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Maahiyum In reply to Makola94 [2008-09-22 04:16:15 +0000 UTC]

yeah, it's the same idea. dA is is an internet community

although the 'talking in a couple minutes' thing is starting to get annoying, if you'd prefer, we can AIM, my sc is AmbiguousHijabi and my email is maahiyum@gmail.com
if you have a gmail account, we can gchat.

But later. G2G
gotta wake up for sahoor, ya know

I'm so glad someone appreciates them.
Might I ask how you came about to finding me on dA? I mean there are so many other artists much better then me and most of my work is fanart...

Makola94 In reply to Maahiyum [2008-09-22 03:19:01 +0000 UTC]

um.. yeah, i know i flooded your inbox!

um.. i have no idea how i came around your artwork... oh yeah! i was searching for deviations related to pakistan.. and then came across your paki pride one.

yes, dA is brimming with artists.. each with their own talents.. but it dosent mean your work can't stand a chance!

(wow.. i just gave you a lecture!)

lol... i'm just another ...er.. random deviant, hunting pakistanis and their talent!

yeah, you did kinda flood my inbox, but it's ok. It makes me happy.

lecture? Don't worry about it. I've sent and received comments bordering on essays O__O
Your two-liner doesn't even make me flinch
...though I guess that's what happens when one chats with writers.

Hmm...if you're in Pakistan right now, isn't this a really weird time for you?...wait, it's like 10AM there, right? nvm
Suppose it's a weird time for me. I have classes tomorrow DX
btw, I'm an 18 yrO freshman in college. I'm only saying because sometimes I talk to little teenyboppers and I have to watch the way I speak to them because they don't understand -__-'

LOL, you found that out now? I'm glad to hear about your enlightenment. And before I checked dA, I checked my email, and guess what I found your review! Thank you so much for that. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that Morbid Curiosity is now your HidaSaku fanfic standard

I always leave a long long review if the stuff is seriously Awesome (just like yours )
Please keep up the great work, yeah^^

May i question ya sumthing?
What do you think......when will you be able to upload the next chappi?^^

Maahiyum In reply to AkaSaku [2008-08-27 20:03:08 +0000 UTC]

Authors always appreciate long reviews
I'm flattered. I will try to maintain the quality of my work
but
honestly, I don't know my goal over the summer was to submit a chapter every month at the very least but....
my classes have started now and I have a lot of hw
Each chapter usually goes through a process like this:
1- I write about 10 pgs and then I get writer's block.
2- I send whatever crap I've written to my fangirl buddy and then she gives me feedback
3- Encouraged by this feedback, I continue the chapter until about 15-20 pgs.
4- I read it and then send it to my beta
5- She sends it back with corrections and I fix my mistakes/inconsistencies, add another page or two, tweak the ending, and upload.
6- Ta Da! New chappi!

........but all of us are college students and that 5-step process takes at least 3 weeks during the summer. Imagine how it'll be during the school year. O__O
But.....Labor Day weekend is coming
