(This is a copy of my DA journal, about furry related stuff I'll write sometime later, for now this will do, I'm too lazy to rewrite the whole thing...)

Hello everyone, whoever's reading this.
My name is Lara, I'm also known as Eldnsay or in short Eldy on the internet. I'm 18 and female. Brunette and kinda short (1,62m). I live in Slovenija, a small but beautiful country in middle Europe, since the country is small, I was forced to learn languages. I speak almost fluently Slovenian, Italian and English. I was forced at school to learn German and french too, but I don't speak them. I've also started learning for fun some Japanese, because I'm in love with Japan.
I'm almost all the day in front of the monitor, watching, commenting and interpreting visual art I like and find here on this site an many others. I force myself to do some sports so I stay fit and keep my parents happy, because they think I'm addicted to the pc. I don't have many friends, but the ones I have are the greatest friends I've could ever imagine.
My greatest love is nature, and I want to learn everything about it. Everything about nature intrigues me. I also fantasize about the if's and it's about nature, trough art I want to communicate my fantasies to whoever is interested and to help myself imagine them better. :3

Regarding my submissions, I've always loved to draw, since I was little I was always scribbling something, copying from nature, curious about everything natural, from simple rocks to animals, to space. Whatever skill I have for drawing I've earned them trough practice, and lately some tutorials. I've never been to any art course (except the obligatory subject "art" in elementary school), but I would love to participate in one. I think my skills aren't that great, actually most of the times I'm unhappy with my pieces because I can see I lack knowledge (especially color composition). I don't think I'll go to art school because I'm too scared of what my future as freelance artist or illustrator may hold, also I label myself as incompetent sales(wo)man, and I don't think I'll ever have the backbone to start a company of my own, or advertise myself.
My personal philosophy is that the more you skills know the better life is. I want to learn almost everything there is to learn, form craftsmanship to digital art, from gardening to architecture, from medicine to computer science. You got the point. ;D I won't know any skill for good, but at least I want to be able to survive in case of an apocalypse of whatever kind. <-- yes, that's my reason for the love of learning.

My wish for my future is that one day I will be able to to draw well, well enough that if something happens to me, I'll be able to earn my living with that. But as time passes I see that even less skillful artist than me happily accept commissions, and trough them even improve, and I must say at an remarkable pace. I'm thinking about "forcing" myself into commissions, requests, gifts and trades. Even if my skills aren't good enough for a good deal. Just to improve my skills and knowledge. I also found out that I my family won't be able to pay rent and scholarship by it's own (Or me myself for every little thing that comes by. I think it's better to "work" on something you happily do than work for real and be unsatisfied.)... So I think I'll open commissions pretty soon.
