| Hello, there, stranger. I see you have ended up in my corner of this strange site called DeviantART. Before you proceed to either leave as fast as you can or let your curiousity lead you into my way too small gallery, you might want to know something about the artist you are interrupting the privacy of. *walks into text editing machine* *pushes some buttons* *enters third-person-dimension* Hello, there, good sir or ma'am. My name is Resillian Cyaldes. I'm apparently here to tell you about this artist *points at Ikéziu* and her strange mind, world and life. Now, you see, this artist's real name is "Tora", meaning "thunder" in Old Norse, and "tiger" in Japanese. Funny, huh? But however funny that is, she will not let you call her that. See, she will only let you use her artist name, or the shortening of that name; Ike. So. Tora's "artist name", as they say in Norwegian, or pseudonym, as I would say in English, is Ikéziu Raik. A rather strange name, don't you think? Now well, that would be because "Ikéziu Raik" lives in her own little world called Eléntra. Eléntra is the world you will meet in a lot of her writings. Because, yes, Ikéziu writes. She claims she is writing a novel right now about said world, but it looks more like she's browsing DeviantART and Encyclopedia Dramatica, if you ask me. Procrastinating authors. Shouldn't be allowed, I say. Excuse me a moment, my tea is almost done. (...) Ah, hello again. We're starting a new paragraph, I see. How fascinating. *takes a sip of tea* So. This Ikéziu loves making up names for everything. In fact she loves doing this so much that she is making her own language. ..wait, did I say language? My bad. I mean languageS. Plural. Grammar is very important you know. In fact, why "Animal Awareness Week" and such, when not "Grammar Awareness Week"? Grammar gets abused too, poor fellow. It's a shame, I say. Ahem. However, one thing you do not need good grammar for, is drawing. And Ikéziu Raik loves to draw. Oh, "hell yeah!". She in fact always carries a sketchbook around, just in case she will get a good idea from it. Talk about being held "prisoner of your art". And these sketchbooks are filled to the cardboard back with this world I told you about before, Eléntra. Characters, scenes, locations, everything. And nearly nothing else. Sort of fascinating. She also has this.. strange, white thing apparently called a "drawing tablet". Or a "Wacom Bamboo Fun!" as she claims the full name is. She nearly doesn't use it though, as she thinks she sucks in digital art, and prefers to draw and sketch traditionally. I have to agree somewhat, you don't get the same... Feeling, I suppose, in digital work. Well, now, I am not an artist, I am a magician. I am not going to voice my opinion on artistic matters. So, how about some geographic matters instead? See, Ikéziu is Norwegian, born and raised in Oslo, Norway. Coldest place on Earth-- no, wait, Northern Norway is in fact more deep-frozen. Which is where Ikéziu's mum is from, anyway, so Ikéziu would be half Northern Norwegian, half Eastern Norwegian. As well as a sixteenth Samì. Fascinating. *takes a sip of tea* No, I am very happy with good old England, which is where 50% of me is from. And with the rest being from Canada and France, that is not too shabby either. ...Now, this would be all I can tell you about Ikéziu.. That I know of, at least. Now you may run away screaming, or just sit down like a lapdog and watch her gallery or whatever you "Deviants" do. Good day! |
