Self Introduction

Journals / Personal

I realized that I now have over 1500 followers here on DA! I’m so happy and honored that you guys are following me. I’d like to start posting more, though sometimes I find it hard, maybe because I feel like a stranger. So I thought I’d take a post to introduce myself.

My name is Heather Larkin. I am 28 years old and I live in Washington DC. For my day job, I am a freelance animator and illustrator. I’d really like to work as a storyboard artist for TV or feature films. I’m trying to build up my storyboard portfolio and apply for storyboarding jobs.

Right now, I’m working on an online comic called “Myst The Book of Atrus” based on my favorite book EVER. You can read it online here: [link].

Personality wise, I’m a huge nerd. I recently reorganized my bookshelves into categories, so I can tell you exactly what subjects I’m interested in: Central American natural history; Japanese language; medieval Europe social history and Old English; biology and animal behavior; film editing, directing, acting and storyboarding; story writing; art technique and human anatomy.

I also get really excited about office supplies.

Some random backstory: I was born in Queens NY. I went to Princeton University and majored in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The best outcome of that was that I got to study zebra behavior in Kenya. After I graduated, I entered the JET Programme and lived a year in Japan. I love Japanese.

Ta-da. So now you know a little something about me.

Nice to meet you! よろしくおねがいします。

Thanks man! I've wanted to do this for so long! These characters have been cooped up in my head for too long. I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

I'm looking forward to see more of your work!

So when can we expect the next chapter to start?

=RobinF Aug 26, 2012 Professional Filmographer

So happy to see that you're converting Book of Atrus, and so happy there's other people out there who remember those books! <3 Your style totally fits it too, gonna be reading this eagerly now.

I know Book of Atrus has to be a massive task as it is, but do you have any plans to do the Book of Ti'ana in future? The ending to that book always gives me chills. xD

Anyway, good luck with everything, you're an awesome visual storyteller and your storyboarding work's a joy to look at!

*Zacron Aug 13, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I know that you are getting the next chapter together, BUT I MISS YOUR DAILY POSTS! Hurry up!

Nah, take your time. But I wanted to let you know that I do miss the comic already.

Just discovered your Myst comic today, and read every page.
I can't put into words how much I love this.
It's an excellent thing you're doing
