I'm an artist in many aspects:
-An American/Anime hybrid artist (
www.lilithoya.deviantart.com)
-A fantasy novelist
-A cosplayer (I make my own costumes based on anime, video game, comic book, and fantasy characters) SEE BELOW FOR COSTUME LIST!
-An Actress
-A Model
I am a graduate of The College of Staten Island with a BA in Creative Writing. I have also taken several acting/theater courses and performed in 2 student written productions.
Modeling is Something I've become more interested in over the years and hope to make a bigger part of my artistic career.
I have limited experience, but I'm quick to learn, and always ready to take suggestions. Pointers, advice, directions, critique, etc. are always greatly appreciated and welcome!
Stylistically, I'm very broad and open-minded. I want as much variety as possible and to be exposed to many ideas. Don't take my portfolio as what you see is what I do. Please run any idea by me that you have!
I have one rule and that's NO NUDITY!
Actually make that two rules! I have shot with photographers that either took a ton of pictures and not one was fit for a portfolio or invited me to a shoot out where I was ignored while one or two models were obsessed over. Do not waste my time and money(and of those who are gracious enough to drive me to shoots). If you invite me to shoot with you make sure that I come out with a number of photos for my portfolio.
WIGS
My hair is now very short all around. I know this can limit styles(and is constantly changing). However, I have wigs which can dramatically change my look!
1- A very long, natural orange brown, curly wig w/bangs.
2- A chin length, light red brown, straight wig w/bangs.
3- A long platinum blonde wig, layers that curl out, w/ some bangs.
4- A shoulder length purple wig, curls under slightly, w/bangs, and an optional long attachment(traditional Japanese low tied ponytail).
5- A waist length golden blonde wig that is slightly wavy with some bangs.
6- A long white wig, straight, w/ long parted bangs.
While there's more to come, if you have a wig on hand that you'd prefer me to use, I won't take offense.
COSTUME LIST
My list of handmade costumes are available for shoots. However they are only to be worn by me or the model they were created for. They are not open to other models. In other words, if you'd like to shoot one of my costumes, you have to shoot them being worn by myself or Sheena(391850), who can be found in my top list.
Some of these costumes can be seen at

Another note on costumes: Some have prerequisites before they can be used(new shoes, wigs, etc.). They are still available for use. I just make mention of what is needed for them because if you request the costume, I will need time and money to acquire said pieces. Of course, any contribution you can make to help me get what is needed so we can push the shoot faster is much appreciated.

~UPCOMING SHOOTS~
Sorry for being so MIA everyone! Between family emergencies, surgery, and just plain overloading myself with too many creative projects to the point of burn out I've been taking a bit of a break. I'm coming back slowly but surely and starting talks for shoots again. I might not be able to necessarily shoot until after the holidays but I would definitely like to have a schedule prepped and ready to go for then. Any massive projects I started culminating(the DC shoot!) is not gone, just on hiatus until I get myself back together.
