I'm Carrie-ko. My first account name on SArt was "denouement" because I had a mixup when I tried registering the first time 'round. Just so you know.
I'm 19 years old and I live in a small community (if you can ever call it that) outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm currently in my second year of university at Saint Mary's, trying to earn my B.A. I recently returned from a summer exchange trip in Hakodate, Japan, which resulted in both my falling in love with the country and with my current boyfriend.

I need to draw more original artwork. Things usually run like clockwork when I paint a fanart piece of a movie and legend I like, but why can't I seem to churn out any original characters or concepts? -__-;;
While I'm not as big of a foreign movie buff as you are, I was wondering...have you ever seen the most recent version of Zatoichi? What a cool character.
The only thing about that movie was, I sometimes had a hard time understanding what things were insulting enough to provoke a reaction, and why other things weren't...a bit of a cultural gap there...
