MasterZ1231

Hello everyone, although I have a feeling everyone who used to watch me on DeviantArt has long since left the site. A ton of shit has happen. I mean, it has been 4 FUCKING YEARS. So let's start off with the big shit.

I've not changed my handle yet (long live MasterZ1231) but I do plan on changing it soon as I have learned in the past 4 years that I am actually transgender. My name is Zoe, I identify as female and my pronouns are she/her. This realization has led to a LOT of art that I've never posted ANYWHERE, but I might post that art here because honestly I don't give a shit anymore.

SO... WHAT'S HAPPENED??? First off, I'm at a point where I'm doing art at a somewhat professional level. My art has been featured on a couple of projects from some musicians, it's been officially published, I've actually gone to art school, and funny enough I actually haven't been doing art that much in the past 4 years. I have found a love for music, writing and performing songs. I've got a band now, it's called Red Night (I know, very original, might change the name) and we've put out one EP (of not so good quality) and are currently finishing up our first album 'Hold On To Your Heart -Deluxe Edition-' (which is a remaster of the EP with 5 new songs on top of the remastered songs), and we're ALSO recording our first studio album 'Harmony And Dissonance'. (LINK IN BIO TO RED NIGHT, DON'T LISTEN TO HOLD ON TO YOUR HEART UNTIL THE DELUXE EDITION COMES OUT, VIBE TO AIMLESS)

I'm also in college now. I left DeviantArt when I was a freshman in high school, I find it almost fitting that I return when I'm a freshman in college. I'm a secondary music education major at Missouri Southern State University and I'm also writing music for the MSSU Jazz Ensemble (and hopefully the MSSU Concert Band as well). Although I haven't been active on my DA page at ALL, I have been VERY active on other social media platforms. If you play guitar at all, you've probably seen some of my tabs that I've created on websites like Ultimate Guitar and Songsterr. If you play piano, you may have seen some of my piano arrangements on MuseScore. I've spent the last four years learning how to read, arrange, and ultimately compose music for large bands and ensembles.

So now I guess it's time for the big question that nobody is asking: "Why are you coming back to this shitstain of a website?"

The answer: I need a place to post my art and I want to make prints and shit.

I'm not gonna be as active as I was in 2016-2017 but I will definitely be posting more often than I have been in the past four years. Every one of my watchers has grown and so have I, so expect the art I post now to be NOTHING like the art I used to post. Hope to meet some new people through this return!!!

See ya soon!
