About Me

Hello! I'm Tegan, though I primarily go by Spirit whilst online.I'm from the UK and I go by she/her pronouns.I'm a hobbyist photographer and digital artist that focuses on nature, wildlife, fantasy and pet related works!
I'm interested in palaeontology, ornithology and many other natural/historical sciences! I absolutely love anything that glitters, glows, sparkles or shines- and/or anything purple! I adore birds (especially pigeons!) and enjoy studying or reading about them in my free time :)

Some of the fandoms I enjoy or am involved in include:✦ My Little Pony
✦ Pokémon
✦ Beastars
✦ Watership Down

My main character or 'mascot' that I use online is called Spirit! She's a utahraptor and can be presented as an anthropomorphic or feral character.
Spirit is the character I primarily use to represent myself in online spaces.Spirit was originally created in approx. late 2018, though her current (and permanent) design has existed since approx. early 2021.˃ Spirit's Toyhouse Page

Photography
I'm a hobbyist photographer that has an interest in and typically focuses on wildlife, pet and macro photography! I'm always looking to try something new and I'd like to eventually expand into portraiture photography, too.I currently use a Nikon D3500 DSLR Camera and my two most frequently-used lenses are:
- Sigma 105mm Macro Lens (used primarily for detailed closeups, macro and pet photography)
- Sigma 150-600mm Telephoto Lens (used primarily for wildlife and bird photography)You can view some of my photography work on my Instagram page, here!

Digital Artwork
I'm a hobbyist 2D digital artist and very occasional animator that has an interest in prehistoric, animal and fantasy (*anthropomorphic and feral) characters! I don't draw as much as I used to and I no longer take regular commissions.I currently use an iPad Air 2020 (4th Generation) tablet and the programs that I use are:
- Clip Studio Paint Pro (used for sketching, lining, colouring and the majority of shading work)
- Procreate (used for effects, lighting and some background work)
Prior to 2021, I used a Wacom Intuos tablet and MediBang Paint Pro.You can view some of my artwork on my carrd page, here!
