My name is Miranda Leek. I am an 20 year old self taught artist, who has a passion for drawing and writing. I've had a deep love for fantasy ever since I was little and I have been drawing for four years. All of my works come out of my mind as I scribble them onto paper.Right now, I'm studying illustration at Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida.I am also an author. My book “Twisted!” is now available ONLINE at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, booksamillion.com, borders.com, and gohastings.com.

Interests
Hello watchers! I'm going to take the time now and answer some of the questions you all asked me in a previous journal.


Q: Do you have a pet of any sorts like a dog, cat, mouse, rat, bird, or any kind? and when is the second book coming out? (Asked by MagicPhoenixstonedra)
A: Yes, I have a five pound chihuahua named Leo and two cats named Flower and Mickey - both rescues. My new version of my book comes out this summer but the second - has no release date yet.

Q: Since Railrunner is based off of an Arrow Dynamics looper, would it be a regular looper like Corkscrew and Carolina Cyclone, or one of the larger loopers like Anaconda and Vortex? (Asked by Unendingride)
A: Railrunner is a big and brawny guy, so he would fall under the category of larger loopers. Although, Between's rails literally defy physics. Any size. Anything goes.

Q:Since your love for roller coasters is shown in your artwork, which coaster in real life is your favorite? (and possibly your favorite park?) (Asked by Unendingride)
A: Surprisingly, I have a woodie as a favorite right now. The Voyage at Holiday World.

Q:And to add on to the question below, if you still have a N64, what is your favorite game on it? (asked by Unendingride)
A: Yes, I still have one. And I'm going to have to pick Super Mario 64, mostly because I grew up on it.

Q: If people who like anthro animals are called furries, than what are people who like anthro machines called? (asked by BluveyProductions)
A: lol. ORIGINAL.    
    Truthfully, I think that the term "furry" just seems a bit amateurish. I use the title of what they are classified as: anthro animal for machines I've always called them mech anthros (mech as an abbreviation for mechanical)

Q:What will be the price of the new version of twisted? (On Amazon) (asked by BluveyProductions)
A: Not sure yet. It depends on how many illustrations are in it.

Q: Do you STILL have your Nintendo 64 and GameCube? XD (asked by BluveyProductions)
A: Yup. Though I don't have that much time to play them anymore - I still like to whenever I can. Funny, I used toplay for hours when I was younger and I can say that the hand - eye coordination helped me get used to my wacom tablet.

Q:Is there going to be another book on Twisted? (asked by biocoal)
A: Yes. A new version of Twisted will be released this summer. The sequel, Vertigo, the release is unknown. A third is in the works...

Q:Do you like Pokemon? xD you just seem like the kind of person who would, maybe. (asked by *Rubykyogre616)
A: I do, when It first came out I was crazy about it. Now I'm older and I haven't really paid that much attention to it - I never went past the first 151 to be honest.

Q:What is your favorite juice? (asked by trigirl48)
A: Right now, Minute Maid Cherry Limeade.

Q: What got you into drawing what you draw? (asked by PoltergeistNaga)
A: I would just say, I love make believe - I love Fantasy. As for anything Twisted related: Ever since I was little, I've always pictured faces on objects. I like to give hunks of metal life - express their personality.

Q: What made you think up humanoid Rollarcoasters to begin with? (asked by DaMushroom)
A: I think this is the killer question as how I created Twisted's universe. And - it's a funny story. First off, I've always pictured objects with faces ever since I was little. Years ago, I have no idea how many any more, me and my sister got stuck on a roller coaster's lifthill. I wasn't scared or anything - just bored as hell. And when I'm bored my imagination goes into overdrive. I started looking around the coaster and the park and inspiration struck.

Q:What advice do you have for growing writers? (asked by TheWaywordWriter)
A: I would say, just to keep doing what you love and don't stop if someone tells you no. (As writer, you will hear this a lot) It's rough trying to get out there, some won't like you and some will love you, but just don't stop. Keep trying.

Q:What's your favorite book and author? (asked by TheWaywordWriter)
A: This may sound bad, but I mean what writer doesn't think that their work is their favorite. But if I had to pick an author that I look up to, it would be JK Rowling.

Q:Are you a gamer?
A: Used to be. I'm busy so I only play every once in a while.


Okay, that's all for now, very busy with work. If you missed out asking me your question,leave it below. :D
  • Listening to: Random songs on my i pod - as I usually do.
  • Reading: nothing at the moment, just writing
  • Watching: A TV or Computer Screen, not watching grass grow.
  • Playing: I will never change this due to lazyiness
  • Eating: I will never change this due to lazyiness
  • Drinking: I will never change this due to lazyiness

Also, thanks for this group. I haven't really had 'problems' with anthro groups yet (Since I only recently discovered them oops) but this group seems to fit my characters more, and I'm SO glad aliens are allowed. And for that, I thank you <3

(Also, everyone here has such great work wow)
