About Evelyn Collantes

The present

Well, it's about time that I update this page. Thank goodness that Uncle David was able to recover my password. ^_^ Many changes have happened since I last submitted something here, so it's only fair that I come to revise some things.

I am currently living in Tampa, I was living in Nevada. A big change from Miami. I kind of liked the Western side of the U.S. We were right next to beautiful California. I liked people there much better. I'm latin and proud of it, but in Miami, you feel like you've never left a 3rd world country. My interests have pretty much kept the same. I've mastered some powerful anime drawing techniques thanks to a kind woman whom has tutored me. Her name is Yukari, and I owe her a lot of my knowledge in this form of art. I have become pretty good at drawing fan art. (Fan art: Drawing your own version of someone else's art.) I'm pretty excited that I can imitate just about any character by looking at them. There is a demand for such artists whom convert manga into anime.

My thoughts are towards majoring in Animation, but schools do not help with the elevated tuition. I am currently studying Japanese on my own, thanks to a gift from a good friend. I am extremely interested in this language. It's not as hard as I thought. I'm learning quite rapidly. Although, I am still studying the hiragana∞, katakana∞, and some kanji∞ characters I have managed to learn some phrases and grammar. (The Japanese grammar is much easier than English grammar!) I would love to get a bachelor in Japanese and study animation in Japan. That would be a dream come true. Currently, I am working on some stories. Hopefully I can finish one by the end of this year. I have become quite addicted to anime. Wolf's Rain∞, was the last series I finished, and it was absolutely fantastic. People seem to have a false idea of anime being for children. Most anime is originally intended for a teen and adult audience (such is the case of Wolf's Rain∞).

The past

Hey! Where do I begin? First let me say that my uncle is David, so yes, we are family. That's why the last name is the same.

Well, I assume that I should tell you where I live. That would be Miami, FL. I am a senior in high school aiming for college next year. Hopefully. My intended major is International Business maybe getting a masters in Management. At first I wanted to major in something involving the arts. Anything that had to do with design. Fashion, graphic, etc. My true love has to do with the arts, whether it's designing or writing. I also thought about journalism. On my free time I like to dedicate effort to my ideas by writing stories that I hope to turn into novels. So far I have finished 4 stories, and am working on another 12. Yes, my ideas flow real fast. Some, I haven't begun writing. I have just jotted down notes and plans for the storyline. I also draw anime/manga and am trying to write something to make my latests art into a manga. Nothing fancy because for that I'd need a real good art program on the computer. But well, I just want to try it out. Another hobby is designing clothes. For my characters and for fun.

Other things I like is dance music, anime, videogames, computers, and electronics. I'll come back here to add more things soon.

I truly hope to come here more often. See you soon!
