Xedite's Art Commissions
Heya! I'm Xedite, 27, she/he/they.I am a programmer, self-taught hobbyist digital artist and writer, and aspiring indie game developer from the US who occasionally flits between other creative mediums.I specialize in creative writing, anime-styled pixel art, and sprite animation.
I also occasional dabble in various digital art mediums and music composition and greatly enjoy making vgm and instrumental styled tracks.Things here are probably under construction until I decide to reopen for commissions finally, so pardon any dust.

About Me
Hi! I'm an Irish-American enby and disabled military veteran originally hailing from Chicago, Illinois, but now proudly living in the American Southwest.I speak primarily English, but I have been learning Japanese formally in my spare time. 簡単ではない。I have a love affair with all things winged or avian, with pigeons being my greatest love of all.My interests include all things science-fiction, med, victorian, and high fantasy, tabletop games, roleplaying, writing, music composition, psychology, true crime podcasts, old anime, 80s, metal, indie, synthwave, and electronic music, Vinesauce, hiking, and video games.My favorite video games are the Fire Emblem, Zelda, Castlevania, Pokemon, Phoenix Wright, Megaman Battle Network series, Undertale/Deltarune, Old School Runescape, and Risk of Rain 2. I'm also a huge fan of rpgs, jrpgs, strategy, and simulation games like the Sims, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Age of Empires, Civilization, and Rimworld!My favorite anime are the Dragon Ball series, Darker than Black, Death Note, Inuyasha, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and JJBA.Feel free to chat with me about any of these!
I love meeting new people even if I can be a bit reclusive from time to time. ;>Please note:I have some issues with PTSD, social anxiety, executive functioning issues, and depression on top of chronic pain and other chronic health issues that can make me a bit slow to respond to people and messages when they act up, but I try my best to stay on top of things when I can.I don't like to use direct TW or CWs in my work or over text or tone indicators, but can on request. Feel free to ask if you need them.I tend to swear a lot as well by bad habit and I apologize in advance, but it's not one I've had any luck in breaking. It's usually never directed at anyone. But please do not interact with me if you find this upsetting in any way.I generally also try to stay out of political circles and may be uncomfortable with highly politicized or heavy topics such as mental illness, suicide, or drug use.
I'd rather not discuss them for the sake of my own well-being and may disengage with you if things become intensely political or charged in discussion. Please do not take my literary work, my refusal to participate in social activism, or not wanting to speak on topics as indicative of my personal or political beliefs.
It's rude, presumptuous, and will likely get you blocked by me.
