About me

Hi, welcome to my blog! 

Who am I?
I'm known as Sionnach or Sion around the net, although I've had other nicks, like Diabolikal Lily from around 2001 and Lily Skaði from the 28th April 2015, but I didn't feel confortable as Lily anymore and changed it to a more neutral name on the 10th May 2021. I needed that change because I'm a non binary person who identifies as agender and I wasn't comfortable using a female name. My pronouns are they/them.

I'm from Barcelona, Spain. My age? I don't like to give much personal information on Internet, so let's say I always turn 18 (although I'm older).

I'm a dog groomer.

I ❤:  Photography, drawing (anime style), BJDs, Monster High dolls, fashion dolls, action figures, crafts, music, Japanese culture, watching Japanese dramas and Manga & Anime (now I'm out of fase), going to the cinema, I loved walking and playing with my dog when he was alive, animals (I'm a bat and foxes freak), Gothic and Visual Kei fashion, concerts, vampires, elves, Norse Mythology, vikings, fantasy, Harry Potter world... I used to like Manga & Anime, so let's say I like old ones, now I'm out of fase.

Fave ♬: Rock and Metal (Gothic, Neue Deutsche Härte, Symphonic, Death, Dark, Viking & Folk, Industrial). Some Hard Rock and Rock/Pop Rock. Celtic and Medieval music sounds nice too.

Fave ♬ bands: Lord of the Lost and Nachtblut are on the top. Insomnium and Rammstein are next. 

Other bands I like are: Leaves' Eyes, Versailles, Moi dix Mois, X-Japan, D'espairsRay, Kamijo, Jupiter, Hizaki, HYDE/VAMPS, To/Die/For, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Ensiferum, The 69 Eyes, Midnattsol, Entwine, Poisonblack, Charon, Amon Amarth, Haggard, Tarja, Lacuna Coil, HIM, VV (Ville Valo), Schattenmann, MONO Inc., Lacrimosa, ...

 How I began to draw 
I do not remember exactely when I began to draw because I remember having a pencil in my hand and doodling since I was in the kindergarten, but at the age of 12 was when I became interested in drawing manga. I remember that I used to show my "Dragon Ball" fanarts to some of my classmates from school who loved "Dragon Ball" as much as me, so I can say that I began drawing manga illustrations thanks to this series.

At the age of 14 I attended to "Escola JOSO", a comic academy in Barcelona, for 4 years, but my style wasn’t appreciated there. Most of my teachers did nothing but recriminating that my drawings were too Japanese alike and did not seem right for them, so they tried to change my style to a most European style. The problem was that my style at drawing and writing comics was getting more Japanese alike and they had no choice but to accept it. When I finished my studies there, I tried to find a work as an illustrator, but my drawings were pretty bad and nobody wanted to employ me, so I decided to take this as a hobby.

In April 2005 I opened an account at deviantART, where I started to upload my illustrations and show them to the world for first time. There I upload fanarts, original characters artworks and photos of my BJD's and Monster High dolls. In  2012 I had this account on hiatus because I was tired of this site and I needed a break. Mainly because of art thieves and immature people who upload a lot of shit like if that page were "Photobucket" or "Facebook" instead of an art site and the administrators from this site don’t give solutions for that, so at the end of 2011 I opened an account at "MangaBullet", where I uploaded my new works until the page was closed. In January 2012, I also decided to open this blog. In October 2012 I decided to be active on deviantART again, mainly because I have friends there and I missed them. I have an accout on pixiv and "anipan", but this last page was also closed. In 2015 I joined PaigeeWorld and Weasyl. "PaigeeWorld" closed a few years ago and I'm not active at "Weasyl".

I was a member of a studio called "Gensou St.", by a friend of mine and me. This studio was originally formed around 2004 by my friend, her cousind and I, which was called "Wall of Illusions". Later it was called "Gensou St." after the departure of one of the components. My friend and I have been in "Sheezy Art" and "MangaBullet" under the name "Gensou St." for a short time because we didn't end working together, so the studio was "dead" until January 2012, when we finally decided to do collaborations and we opened an account at the Japanese site "pixiv", where we uploaded our collaborations and some of our works as "Lily" or "Mae" until we decided to close that account in 2014. 

 What you'll find in this blog
Here I upload my illustrations and some WIPs (work in progress) and tutorials. Although my drawing style is manga-anime, I'm not as interested in this stuff as I used to in past anymore. None current manga or anime series catches my attention right now. Ironic, right?
