About Me
♫ I'm just a girl, I'm just a girl in the world ♫Hello! I'm Seran, aka TheStarHeron, your average late 20s artist, D&D fiend, cosplayer, and general nerd. I work a full time job as a Web Developer, am married, have four cats and a dog and... yeah! That's me!For fun, I like to work on my passion projects, my Vocal Synthesis studio, STUDIO OGIEN, and my stories GodSeed & Continuity (formerly Pin Cushion). When I'm not working on those, I'm trying to 100% Nier Automata (I'm so so close! What am I going to do with myself afterward...?), write fanfiction, and play The Sims (don't look at me like that).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you do commissions?A: Hey there, thank you for your interest! Currently I am not in a position time wise to take on commissions, between working full time and focusing on my passion projects and stories. Going forward, if I open commissions in the future, they will be on an emergency basis!Q: What supplies, equipment, and programs do you use for digital art?A: For on the go and around the house, I use my iPad Pro, Apple Pencil (Gen 2) and Procreate. I also have a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 that I've been using to texture 3D models in VRoid Studio, but have recently been using it with Clip Studio Paint at my desk when the mood strikes. As a backup, I still have my old screenless Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet from 2009(?).Q: Is [insert project or story here] dead? :(A: More than likely not, I am not one to shelf things. I did have to take a very big step back from social media for about a year and a half for my mental health, but everything I have started, I plan to finish. That includes the OGIENOIDs, GodSeed and even (cringes) Project: Pin Cushion (now referred to as Continuity). Just consider things as on hiatus or WIP before I feel comfortable sharing updates. Just trying to ease myself back in right now!Q: Do you have a shop or another place I can support your work? Ko-fi? Patreon?A: I currently do not, but STUDIO OGIEN does have a Ko-Fi and a Redbubble shop! :) The Ko-Fi store is for commercial use licenses right now, but there's lots of fun goodies on Redbubble! I would like to have my own store in the future, but I've just never had the time or the knowledge until recently. So, we'll see!
