Masamune
Artist | Varied

United States

By now, at least ya should, know my name is Masamune.
Though I go by the following names too:
The Sixth Saint, Sixth, SS Masamune, SSM, and Mr. Thou.
At the end of the day, I am me, myself, and I. There will never be another.
Not a carbon copy, just pretenders.

Simply put, what'cha see is what'cha get and what'cha don't is better yet.
Music and art in general for that matter is my life and without it, I'd probably be dead or one even more eccentric son of a bitch.
The brunt (so far all at the moment) of my uploads are characters for different stories and various series I'm writing and workin' on.
So yessah, I'm a writer and a character designer (if you haven't guessed that already) and my goal is to make said stories and the characters shown off on here into actual games someday, as I require a team to do so to do things in the scale of how I want them accomplished.

Now, to get back to the more "about me" profiley descripshits!
I love and appreciate the things that I hold closest to me. To borrow a phrase that I live by
"The things I believe in most are my family, my friends and music. They haven't let me down yet." - Dave Williams

I believe in loyalty. To your family, to your friends, and to the things you love in the lives we're livin'.

I tend to create new words and coin phrases way more often than not.
I jokingly have my own language referred to as Masamunese. You should learn it. Enrollment is now open!

I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. Never have, never will.
Point blank and frankly, I just don't care for it. I like being coherent and of sound mind.
The altered state of mind ain't my way of life.
I have and have had enough natural health problems over the years as is, so I choose to take care of my health.
I don't discriminate or honestly care if you do any of that, whatever makes you happy I say. So long as it isn't negatively effecting yours or anyone else's lives.

Now then, one thing you will quickly find out about me if you're someone I consider a friend (which, if I add ya on here, I do consider you a friend to some extent or degree) and that is, I like to bring out the best in and inspire people.
Maybe you're next.
Only one way to find out!
Not only that, but I enjoy helping people in general.
I guess it's through empathy that I love doing so.

I grew up around a bunch of inspiring things all around me.
I'm very visionary and imaginative because of this. I always push myself to push the envelope. From character designs, video games, stories, to the music that I listen to, to art of all kinds, I was surrounded and interested in so many intriguing things.
Thus causing me to give myself that extra creative kick in the ass when needed to produce the same to have that simply timeless and long withstanding effect.
It's quite sad to see that so many people are tapped outta ideas for art and the outlets of creativity nowadays.
To those I say, always remember where you came from, who you are as a person and as an artist, and what drove you to do what you do.
If you follow your heart, your mind will follow not too far behind.

AT ANY RATE FASTER THAN 55...
Enjoy your stay!
