GECKOGIRL315
Hi! My name is April and I am a 26-year-old artist born in San Diego, California and currently living in Pflugerville, Texas. I graduated from San Diego State University in 2021 where I received my BFA in Studio Arts cum laude.My passion is drawing and designing characters. I love to draw anything from animals and creatures, to people, to fantasy, to anthropomorphic, and more. In addition to drawing, I also animate and 3D model. While I mostly work digitally, I also enjoy painting and drawing on the traditional canvas or paper.When I'm not busy creating, I love watching movies, playing video games, reading, playing ukulele, and roleplaying on Twitter and Discord. As you have probably guessed, geckos are some of my favorite animals! I have a pet crested gecko named Draco.I am also an official Pokémon Trading Card Game judge. I have experience of playing the Trading Card Game since 2007. I help out at the Round Rock Pokémon Club every week! I created the design for the official Round Rock Pokemon Club t-shirt!
All proceeds directly support the Round Rock Pokemon Club for kids! Donations are used to buy supplies for the club, and prizes for our weekly raffle for the kids!

Unless I am truly unable finish the artwork, there will be NO refunds.
I will provide updates as I work on the piece and ask if there are any revisions to be made. When I am far along into the creation of your piece or after the piece has been completed, major revisions may require an additional charge.
