My boyfriend in high school was really into manga. He made me one of the characters in the school comic.
Went on to design video game characters.

yeah my artist buddy in school was all about DC/Marvel artists and yes i was more interested in anime at the time
but before that i was learning to draw humans from a book teaching proper artists, my mother also was very good at it, she was a much better painter than me except when i was on meth and using indian ink and brush, then i was better than her lol
Ha ha. Just realized that I'm probably the basis for some video game characters someplace. LOL
Weird thought.
There are worse things to have inspired.
there is something tactile about the ability to render physical things accurately
i know i have extremely acute proprioception, you can turn the light off in a room i know and i can grab at things within a centimetre of exact no problem at all
my mother also was extremely agile, as a child notorious for skipping across the spine pieces of house roofs confidently, running across the top of solid fence posts
gah dammit i almost catched this one woman who turned out to be a really good 3d designer
