Fixed up the link between this and the gallery. Felt not many people would press gallery
and felt it was a more reasonable fix.
Been a bit since I've done some adjustments onto the site. Had been focused mostly on
improving my art. Good to be able to finally dust off some dust with new ideas.
Updating the Wix website with more information and grammar fixes.
My name is Stephon Burrell, I thank you for taking the time to read who I am. I love creating all kinds of work like drawings, video games, music, youtube videos, Three-Dimensional designs, character designs, animations, websites, illustrations, and stories. Every day I tell myself, "I can be that good at creativity if I put my mind to it." With all my friends, family, and cousins giving me support. Someday I'll transform this website into a masterful worksite.
About the designer, Stephon Burrell(KurtKoopa)
I'm a digital artist who's been doing graphic design for more than 10 years. I've started back since I was 14 years old. I kept up with my classes and continued pushing toward my goals each and every day to improve. I kept Studying and learning for all sorts of different pieces of work. I've done commissions over the time period too. Also yes, I have drawn pornography here and there to improve my anatomy work. I've heard many artists do it in order to help improve their fundamentals when dealing with character and cartoon anatomy. It's a tough subject to really talk about, but I'm not afraid to dive into that subject if needed to be. I'm always eager to learn and finding new methods and improving is always a big goal for me. As a digital artist and graphic designer, it's important to understand a lot of fundamentals when digging into drawing different styles.
My OC character is KurtKoopa. He's half Koopa, half Squirtle which is why his tail shares the squirrel-like tail more than what most other Koopa Troopas share. He has the ability to make ice by channeling his aura into his heart. His heart is full of love, doing what he can to take care of his friends and protect them from harm. Kurt loves to adventure and explore new locations to seek what mystery is hidden that no other Koopa has gone. Kurt dislikes evil, he won't rest to find a solution to fix the problem as to why this problem is happening. Kurt would and will do his best at that to point them on the right path. Kurt can at times be a silly Koopa but watch out! He isn't any normal Koopa. He's pretty darn hard to take down.
About, Kurt Koopa
Kurt Koopa, A Koopa Troopa who loves the thrill of adventure that fights for peace and love. This Koopa wasn't born near Dark Lands, nor the Mushroom Castle. He was born in a tiny village up on Icey mountain, a place located near the cold mountains of Snow Mountain. This is where the Koopa all started his life being a baby Koopa. His parent's names were John Koopa and Ashley Niko. John Koopa is a Koopa Troopa who served under Bowser loyalty as one his loyal knights. He trained under his loyalty for more than 20 years before taking his own actions to live a normal life. Ashley Niko was a Pink Squirtle. She lived around near the springs of Mystic forest to which our happy Koopa now lives in peace.
When Kurt became ten, a massive war outbreak where his family lived. The war demolished all of Kurt's childhood and his family. Merely escaping, he sealed himself into Icey mountain from the war and hid away in the mountain for three years away from life. Lucky for the Koopa, there was food already in the cave for this particular problem, but the resources quickly dried and molded out. Staving half to death, the Koopa made a barrow only fit for him to squeeze out, but having to be naked with only his T-shirt. He used this method to search for food that savaged across Icey mountain's ice force where he found ice watermelons, which give him his ice powers due from consuming so many of them, and along side by his mother who taught him. Time passes after the war, and before not too long a search party was made by Bowser to find anyone who was still alive at his village. In spike of almost giving up, a Koopa by the name of Joe noticed a tiny hole and crammed himself into the hole not long finding Kurt who looked extremely hungry and scared.
He immediately got the Koopa out, but having to leave his broke shell in the cave. Kurt was rescued and lived with Bowser, Kamek, and all of his Kooplings. Bowser didn't want to rise, Kurt, as he was way far too busy, leaving Kamek to take the role of taking care of him. During the years being under Kamek's care, he kept having flashbacks of his family time after time. He knew his father had gone onto some amazing adventures when he read him bedtime stories. It always stuck in his mind giving Kurt inspiration to do those same actions. Five years has passed working for Kamek, and even a little bit with Bowser. Time started gradually decreasing for Kurt as he began to find it boring. Unexpectedly, Kamek became very ill having now to take over Kamek's role to babysit the Kooplings. By this time, he met's one of Bowsers Kooplings, Bowser Jr that shows Kurt most of his moves on using the paintbrush. He never touched his paintbrush, so he had to use a stick for most of their Koopa playing.
After helping Kamek when ill, he sets foot away from the Dark Lands into the Mystic Forest to live the rest of his days in making what's today his adventure around the world. Before his father had passed, he quickly remembered what he had said about his sword, Tousando Kiurai, that he normally used to take out any creature that laid any Koopa fingers on his comrades. The Koopa ran back to the ruins of his village and finds the Tousando Kiurai down in the basement in a glass trophy holder. The blades halt shined with amazement as Kurt opened up the glass, and took the sword for his own.
By this, Kurt was ready to live up his father's expectations to what he is now.
