Hello,
Name's Manuel, though most people call me Stripe, or Pinstripe. I'm a writer, and artist whom works with sci-fi and fantasy. Be it space battles, steampunk, or a slice of life in a furry world.
That's another thing. I'm an anthro artist as well. Been part of the fandom for a while. Pinstripe is my furry identity. An easy going hyena with a happy go lucky attitude who isn't afraid to bite back if he has to. Hardcore Carnivore, Writer Extraordinaire.
I used to be a student at the Arts Institute of Phoenix, and work a bit with comics, animation, game design, and writing. However, I'm also a gourmet pizza, pasta, cal-zone, and salad chef. Trained and certified.
Born and raised in Phoenix AZ of; 'The Good ol USA' If you can call it that I suppose. Meh, Its not all bad. Just kinda rough with all the negativity in the world at the moment. Anyways, I've always been fond of writing and drawing. Its something I've been good at all my life. Hell I was making comic strips and selling them for quarters in 1st grade. Granted they were kinda crappy but good. Eventually my comics ended up in high school newspapers for two schools I went to at the time. I had a few older accounts on here that I kinda forgot the access of. They shall not be listed due to some rather, questionable times I went through involving some kinda dark art and literature that I'd rather forget about. It was a rough time.
Currently, I am working on my goal of making Black Lotus Entertainment successful. Writing, drawing, and blogging. Who knows, maybe with the help of you fine people I can make it a success someday. For the time being, I'm just here to create works for people to enjoy. Such as my two current Projects, Paragon: The Legacy of the Regulans, a sci-fi fantasy adventure following a mysterious wandering treasure hunter named James, whom can't remember his past and must brave a deadly alien world with a host of interesting allies to fight an ancient evil force that threatens the destruction of the world. Or Hunter Hunted. A mini series that is more of a modern mystery/slice of life story where anthros exist among humans, but tensions between predator and prey species getting violent from time to time due to the horrific acts of predation from less than savory and rather cruel predators and serial killers. It follows the life of a young woman who ends up playing the accidental role of detective in a dangerous world with friends on both sides of the spectrum, and grizzly murders to solve. Not exactly a kid friendly story considering that implications of more extreme touchy subjects being touched upon. Including a deep romantic appeal, rape, graphic violence, and the implications of a voracious fox and a skittish mouse couple. But to each their own.
Yup, thats about it.
Here, have a dragon.
