Hai!
About me
My name is Jonathan, I'm 24 years old and from the southern part of Sweden.
In my spare time I like to hang out with friends, play MMORPGS, make beadsprites, read manga, watch anime, eat pasta, listen to music, watch movies (both Youtube and you know, stuff from Hollywood) and to read various crap I found on the internet and IRL. I also like to think out loud when I'm alone and sleep (a lot).
Most of the times, I go out of my way to be careful and efficient. I am also quite shy, quiet and withdrawn, especially in the company of new people and big crowds.
I am a very honest and humble being, I try to help others when I have the knowledge and power to do so and I possess a big heart.
Easily addicted to stuff and usually care/think about a lot of things more than one probably should sometimes.
My name
The name "MagicPearls" comes from when I wanted to create my DeviantArt and Instagram account. I've played video games for almost 20 years of my life, and ever since I started playing MMOs and RPGs, there was always one class that caught my eye: spellcasters. Whether it be the traditional wizard, the more charismatic sorcerer, a healing priest or druid, it was always my choice. Therefore, I wanted a name that had something to do with magic. It is also combined with that fact that even tough "real" magic doesn't exist, what I consider magic is the way art is created through the sheer imagination of the human mind.
Since I wanted to upload pictures of my beadsprites, I chose "pearls", basically a slightly worse translation of beads from the Swedish word "pärlor". Besides, I didn't like "MagicBeads" very much, although it doesn't sound too bad thinking about it... But I am happy with the name I chose!
So, that is the story of my display name, "MagicPearls"!
Why am I here?
My main use for DeviantArt is uploading pictures of my creations with beads, aka "beadsprites/perlers" in full resolution, finding amazing art done by talented individuals that can also be used as inspiration for my own creations and finally, to hopefully meet and get to know some new people!
The themes I like to work with are mainly various anime related stuff (One Piece being the favourite among many) and Pokemon. I do however dip into other themes such as video games (World of Warcraft, Touhou, Super Mario and League of Legends) and movies (Star Wars) too.
If you have any questions about my creations or anything about beadsprites in general, feel free to message me or leave a comment and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible!
