# About me
As a human being, Whiteley's days are usually pretty similar to most other being on the planet. She wakes up, eats her weight in breakfast food, then jumps on her bike and heads into the studio to work on story-boarding, sketches, and comic book pages.Whiteley began drawing seriously during her sophomore year of high school as a way to bring the stories she'd been writing since she was a child to life. She found inspiration in Japanese art as well as western Disney animation style. During her senior year at Sacred Heart Academy, Whiteley was drawn to Salve Regina University for its art program as well as the vast knowledge and personal attention that the professors provided in such a small university.
As a university student Whiteley has received The Best of Salve Painting 2013, The Best of Salve Illustration in 2014 and 2015, and The best of Salve Sculpture 2015. She has also been featured in the Dorrance Hamilton Galley in Newport RI, and the Hallspace Gallery in Boston MA, and has worked with professional graphic novelist Tracy Butler on her hit comic "Lackadaisy".
Illustration is Whiteley's passion, and her up bring has everything to do with this. As a mini version of herself she was always totally and completely supported by wonderful parents who - despite financial difficulty - made Whiteley and her younger brother feel that anything was achievable if they were willing to work hard at it. Her parents made sure that the siblings learned nothing was without dedication in this lifetime.
Seeing as Whiteley lived a very happy and fulfilling childhood thanks to the tireless efforts of her family, it should come as no surprise that most of her inspiration comes from the bonds between parents and children, friends, and most importantly siblings. Her stories focus on loving bonds, and strong independent characters, and the harmonious relationships of multiple races - speaking to equality of the sexes, the races, and a life of hard work and support from those you love.

I love your style! How often are you open for commissions? I have a reputation as a commission fiend

I figure I might as well ask this before getting down to any future brass tacks when it comes to commissions.
Would you be ok with a spanking themed commission? If you would need clarification I could always show examples of previous concepts of mine, or you could just take a peep at my page.

I'm sorry, though I appreciate your interest, I will not draw any situation which objectifies women.

Hey, HF, how's it going? I haven't talked to you in a while! When is your spring break this year? Mine is (March 15- March 23). If we have break the same week then we should definitely go see a movie or something.

No, I don't have any days off from school for Easter, but I will be home Easter weekend. We should do something then! What should we do, get something to eat and see a movie?

I KNOW,RIGHT!? Disney never ceases to amaze me! I was pleasantly surprised at how great Frozen turned out to be because the first promo trailers didn't look too promising. I am so OBSESSED with this movie!

It's so good!
Hey, you know what you should watch? Attack On Titan, it's fantastic! A little gory, and very dramatically intense, but it's action packed and I LOVE it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
RG111693 In reply to Tennessee11741 [2014-02-02 06:31:50 +0000 UTC]
I agree! Attack on Titan is so amazingly fantastic! I've seen all of it and the gory scenes just seem so outrageous that it doesn't really bother me. I actually think the Titan's faces are more comical than creepy and when they move around, it is absolutely hysterical! But underneath all the gore of it, I think there is a deep philosophical meaning to it all. I like how there is definitely more to it than just the survival aspect. It's very interesting and I can't wait for the next season to come out! I haven't read the manga because I don't want to spoil it for myself. So, which is your favorite character? I think Levi is my favorite because I like trying to peel back his character and trying to understand his complex personality. Eren is great as the protagonist with his Titan ability, but I just can't get past how reckless and short tempered he is. I admire Armin for being able to think through a situation and always come up with a great plan even though he is a huge scaredy-cat. Mikasa always amazes me with her athleticism and calmness in the face of danger and I also commend her for her extreme loyalty to her friends. My second favorite is definitely Annie. She's the Dark Horse of this show and I really liked how her character was evolving in the second season. So…yeah, I'm a big fan of the show, just like you!
Oh, this is not related to Attack on Titan, but i think you will enjoy it just as much! -->www.youtube.com/watch?v=909TJ1…
I'm watching the third season of Sherlock online and, so far, I am enjoying it immensely!

Episode three will blow your mind! I streamed them add they aired in the UK and they are so good!
I really love attack on Titan, all of my roommates and I are crazy for it! We bought all the books and let me tell you that it takes such a twist! I can't even handle it! I like Levi the best as well, his relationship with Petra was so sad, they would have totally been a fantastic couple....
