Karina MacGill 0 7460 51467 51445      2017-06-15T01:32:20Z IvanRider 3545644 /* Hobbies */ wikitext text/x-wiki  Karina Linda MacGill is a freelance comic artist, illustrator, and art teacher from Budapest, Hungary.

Personal life
Karina was born and raised in Budapest in a tri-lingual family. She traveled around the world with her parents as a child, participating in many Esperato gatherings. She is the oldest of three sisters.

Hobbies
She passionately loves role playing games, both pen and paper and live action varieties. Most of her original art feature characters and events inspired by such games. She also has designed and created numerous costumes, fantasy-themed and even made original designs based on garments from major franchises such as Game of Thrones and Star Wars.

Some of her favorite movies include The Fifth Element, Cloud Atlas, K-PAX, Only lovers left alive, and Fight Club. Her favorite musical artists include The Beatles, Radical Face, TwentyonePilots, Glass Animals, Wood kid, Rumjacks Pink and Florance&Macheen. Her favorite writers include J.R.R Tolkien, J.K. Rowling and John Soul. Her favorite games include Vampire the Masquerade and The Sims 2.

Education
Karina's education background is in traditional graphics and 2D animation.

Career
When not doing comic art, illustrations and costume design for fun or profit, Karina spends much of her remaining time working as an art teacher in her area near Budapest.

Dozerfleet involvement
On April 18th of 2015, Karina submitted "Home Sweet Home" to her DeviantArt traditional arts gallery folder. This was done on behalf of Emily Barnes and the Two Jens author Chad Patterson, whom she stated paid her "quite nicely" for the sketch. The sketch quickly rose in popularity, gaining over 2,500 views in a span of two years and being favorited 32 times on DeviantArt.

As research was being done for Sodality: Vindication, the Dozerfleet founder stumbled upon the sketch and noticed a connection between this and the work of Irina Anghel. It was discovered that this was not the first illustration Karina had made for The Tale of Emily Barnes and the Two Jens. An earlier sketch, "Along the Rails," had been submitted on February 22nd of 2014. This became the first known time that Emily Barnes was mentioned by-name in a variation of the Prodigalverse.

From there, various other artists (including Shases got on board with Chad's vision. Shases' more humorous interpretations of events in that world became the basis for the Camelorum Adventures adaptation taking on a comedic slapstick bent, instead of the more serious bent in Irina and Karina's initial illustrations.

Characters co-created
Karina's artwork helped found the basis of several key characters in Dromedeverse lore:


 * Stan Woudean (based on her depiction of the warden in "Home Sweet Home."
 * Anita Hallot
 * Semaphore
 * Maddening Rod
 * Lemon Witch
 * Gummibabe
 * June O'Reilly

A colored-in, Camelorum-re-themed version of "Home Sweet Home" was also originally planned to be used in a GirlsAskGuys take about the various institutions in Dromedary Heights. The take was done in the style of a similar one by user Ginnyweasley97, about various institutions in the Harry Potter universe.

Personal life
Irina was born on April 29th of 1989, to parents Carmen and Maria Anghel of Ploiești, Romania. She has one brother: Andrei; and a sister: Alina Manole. Her native language is Romanian, though she speaks fluent English. She has, since childhood, longed to be an artist. Her current skills include Photoshop, Paint Tool Sai, Corel Draw, painting, drawing, modeling, sculpting, and glazing. She is also a huge fan of raccoons, and dreams of owning a few.

Irina's favorite visual artist is Caravaggio. Her favorite movies include Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Snatch, Trainspotting, and A Clockwork Orange. Her favorite TV shows include Lost, Heroes (the latter of which also inspired the tone for Stationery Voyagers,) Adventure Time, and Rick and Morty. Her favorite musical artists include A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Tool, Queen, Pink Floyd, Rancid, and several doom metal and metalcore bands. Her favorite books include American Gods. Her favorite writer is Neil Gaiman. Her favorite game is Portal.

She is also a huge fan of Marvel Comics, particularly classic X-Men titles.

Education
In the fall of 2004, Irina began attending the Ploieşti High School of Arts, pursuing her dream of making it as a successful sketch artist. She graduated in the spring of 2008 from said high school. She then attended the National University of Arts on the Bucharest campus, in its College of Decorative and and Design. She specialized in the Ceramics, Glass, and Metal division. She completed her bachelor program and immediately set to work pursuing a masters degree in decorative arts and design. She achieved this in 2014, realizing a ten-year dream of getting a diploma in this field.

Career
Irina first began getting noticed professionally for her work in 2007, when she collaborated with the Church of Cocosesti on a mosaic. She was later able to get involved in product designs for a project called "Souvenirs of Museum" in 2008, benefiting the Grigore Antipa Natural History Museum and the Bucharest Geology Museum. She was involved in 2009 in product design for "Kindergarten BEBE." The "Glass Show" exhibition at the Orizont Gallery in 2010 also featured her works made with glass. She has continued for years since then to get paid for her glass-made creations, frequently getting them showcased at art exhibits and museums. Her passion is glazing, as she loves to see creations in glass take form.

In 2012, she also branched out into freelance illustration - which she has continued to earn money on to the present day. In addition to these venues, she holds a regular day job at the Cofeteria Armand in Bucharest; where she is admired for her skills as as cake designer.

Dozerfleet involvement
Around early 2012, Chad Patterson of Prestonburg, Kentucky had a vivid dream about his wife, Jennifer, crashing her car into a fountain and surviving. Before he could see what became of her in the dream, the focus of it shifted to a chain gang of 20-somethings being forced to rebuild the fountain. Chad assumed his wife was somehow to be on that gang. Half disturbed and half inspired by the dream, he wrote down what he could remember of it, hoping to turn it into a more meaningful story one day.

He wasted little time mixing elements of the dream with elements of real life, and the result was The Tale of Emily Barnes and the Two Jens. He began requesting artists across DeviantArt to do commission work depicting various scenes from his vision. On August 2nd of 2012, Irina uploaded "She Was Bad." This piece implicitly involved an elevator scene with Emily Barnes in it, though Irina never identifies Emily by name. The first to do so was Karina MacGill, whose caption for "Along the Rails" on February 22nd of 2014 is said to be the first explicitly named debut of Emily in visual media.

Irina followed up her "She Was Bad" image with "Ditch Diggers" on August 12th of 2012, creating one of the first-ever depictions of what would become Barry Navoz. She would continue to make commission sketches, particularly for Chad. On June 12th of 2013, she made this sketch of Jenny Jane; making her, Chad, Jen Patterson, and the Dozerfleet founder into co-creators of that character. The character render for Jenny Jane in The Sims 4 is modeled after this sketch. This sketch, released the same day, split the Jenny Jane character into two different characters. The second one became the wilder Jenny Kay. Her model in The Sims 4 was based on this sketch and on "Jenny in Chains," released on May 27th of 2014.

In 2015, the Dozerfleet founder began doing research for Sodality: Vindication, and was very intrigued by Irina's collection "Feet and Inmates," carrying a concentration of her commissioned artwork for Chad. After some friendly banter and writing numerous humorous captions to reinterpret what was going on in each scene, certain characters began taking on regular names. This led to the creation of a series premise for Dramedy Sour Power Hour, which later became Camelorum Adventures.

Characters Irina has co-created
Irina has - directly or indirectly through her art - played a role in the creation of the following characters on the database:


 * Semaphore
 * Beatrice Index
 * Luin Kim
 * Gwen Indot
 * Anita Hallot
 * June O'Reilly
 * Wycliffe the Iguana
 * Huss the Iguana
 * Calvin the Iguana
 * Zwingli the Iguana
 * Jenny Jane
 * Jenny Kay
 * Cherry Babe
 * Samantha Garner
 * Julie Moolie
 * Bethany
 * Maddening Rod
 * Ion Boy
 * Annie Tudinous
 * Joe Hammerstein
 * Ted Bones
 * Flooby-Don't
 * Tammany Edwards

Dozerfleet involvement
From his since-deleted AJDC penitentiary inside the Second Life engine, Max created the OCs of Jasmine and Jacqueline Cuffington. One of them was wrongly accused of stealing Wi-Fi and locked up there. The other was charged with a hit-and-run murder. The Dozerfleet founder stumbled across Max's pictures while doing research for Sodality: Vindication in 2015. The picture "Inmate Jackie" on Max's gallery page was uploaded in May of 2015. Through some confusion, Jasmine and Jackie got merged into one character.

It was decided for Camelorum Adventures that this "Jackie Regg" was wrongly locked up on false allegations of stealing Wi-Fi, and slowly began losing her mind as she was transferred from one prison to another. Marissa remained a bully that gave Jackie a miserable time. Fearing that Marissa would find her if she were transferred again, Jackie takes advantage of being temporarily stationed at Camelorum Correctional to escape amidst some chaos involving extra-dimensional evil gnomes. She escapes to a circus and becomes a clown named "Laney the Laughable" to avoid recapture. Thus, the character was given a happy ending.

Laney was eventually worked into the greater Dromedeverse lore, and was given the power to control elephants. Due to this, Max is now considered a co-creator of the character. Max has stated that he found it "odd" that Jackie became the "sort-of-like Harley Quinn character," given that was how he originally intended Jasmine to be.

Dozerfleet involvement
Around the same time in 2012-2013 that Chad Patterson first began hiring commission artists to depict the world of The Tale of Emily Barnes and the Two Jens for him, Shases jumped aboard along with Karina MacGill and Irina Anghel to become the earliest comic artists to do their own takes on the world. Much like Irina, Shases took a comedic approach. On June 19th of 2012, "C.S.13" was submitted to DeviantArt as a preview for "In Chains," which would mark both one of the earliest attempts to create something for Chad's vision as well as being the proto-debut of the character that would come to be known as Lemon Witch much later on.

Characters co-created
Due to his numerous other sketches, which inspired a lot of Camelorum Adventures continuity, Shases can be credited with co-creating the following characters:


 * Lemon Witch
 * Katrina Cantina
 * Melinda Rotinda
 * Rita Rigatoni
 * Gwen Indot

Correction
His birth has been confirmed as happening in 1975.

Catherine Aimei 0 7486 58448 50132      2018-12-23T02:12:52Z IvanRider 3545644</id> wikitext text/x-wiki <text xml:space="preserve" bytes="2507"> Catherine Aimei is a model and photographer from the Columbus area in Ohio. On this database, a stock photo of her portrays Hea Pang.

Personal life
Born and growing up initially in a small town in Virginia, Catherine developed a passion for modeling and photography early on.

Education
Beginning in high school, Catherine enrolled in the Arlington Career Center's program for photography. She took IB Art for two years, and received four gold keys in the Scholastic Arts & Writing competition her senior year.

In 2011, she enrolled at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Unhappy with the curriculum there, she transferred to Columbus State Community College, where she acquired an associates degree in digital photography.

Career
Catherine owns and operates Aimei Photography in Columbus, which she established based on her degree. With some friends of hers, she created the "COI-Stock" account on DeviantArt, a popular source for free images from her portfolio.

Dozerfleet involvement
On February 24th of 2015, Catherine's "Portrait Shot 4" was modified to make her resemble Hea Pang, as part of a campaign to give photographic appearances to as many Gerosha characters as possible while Sodality: Vindication was being planned. She has remained the default model to portray Hea since, in spite being a few inches taller than Hea is supposed to be.

Personal life
Lee enjoys TV shows like Chuck and spicy mac and cheese. She claims to hate packing her own bags due to "always forgetting something."

Career
Lee began working as a model based on encouragement to do so she received from strangers on the street. She handles her own business of selling prints and costumes from her own work. She has been noticed and promoted by a number of agencies, including ModelMayhem.

Dozerfleet relevance
In 2015, Lee agreed to let a small handful of her photos on DeviantArt be altered to allow her to portray Ciem, Sniperbadger, and Marina Baret. Her small size and body frame make her physical form a much better match for the Flippo triplets than the previous model: Nanda Soebaigo (whose face was more accurate.) Lee's likeness has been used for Candi primarily to represent the Earth-G7 version of the character, as exists in Sodality.

In December of 2018, she was promised a real life Ciem suit as a birthday present for 2019. It was mailed to her a few days before her birthday on April 25th of 2019, much to her delight. She has stated that the suit is "incredibly detailed and well-done, especially for someone who doesn't normally make costumes."

Outside work
Lee has produced several of her own costumes, and modeled in them. Her work in these fields is showcased on DeviantArt for those interested.

Dozerfleet involvement
In 2013, a stock photo from his account became the photographic template for Extirpon. Djwar was made the facial template for Eric Stanley Opendi only after Jason Aaron Baca turned down the role due to the character "looking too demonic." Jason was originally considered for the part, given his closer similarity to the character as rendered in The Sims 3.

Djwar was joined shortly thereafter by Zafarzaify, who portrayed the villain Spoliat.

Personal life
Luis Zavala has stated a love for various genres of music; including breakbeat, trance, house, down-tempo, old school hip hop, and classical. His preferred art style is biomechanical/steam punk / cyberpunk. He also likes art deco and low rider art styles.

He utilizes whatever Mac OS X version his computer will run, though he stopped counting versions at Snow Leopard. He also has an iPod. His favorite cartoon characters are Spike Spiegel, Popeye, Goofy, and Bloodshot. His favorite visual artists are H.R. Giger, Yoshitaka Amano, Dan LuVisi, Luis Royo, Jared Wingate, Stein Zupancic, and J. Christopher Schmidt.

His favorite movies include Titanic, The Dark Crystal, Avatar, Memento, Dredd, and The China Syndrome. His preferred music artists include Michael Jackson, BT, Akira Yamaoka, Buddy Holly, and Portishead. His favorite books include American Gods, and Dan LuVisi's LMS: Last Man Standing. His favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Dr. Michio Kaku, Dan LuVisi, and William Novy. His favorite video games are Final Fantasy, Deadly Premonition, Bioshock, Silent Hill 2, Pac Man, and the Gears Of War franchise. His favorite gaming platform is the Xbox 360.

Education
Luis attended the Brooks Institute of Photography in order to enter his profession. He has since complained that it "wasn't worth it," as what he was taught was "already way outdated" per current industry standards. That it was "a money trap," designed "only to create debt." This has by no means been the only time someone has said this of an institute.

Career
In a journal entry, Luis has stated that he lives life "like a vagabond," going from one project to the next and "effectively living on the set" of whatever project he has agreed to take. His photography side work is what keeps him afloat in-between film projects. To assist him in this, he utilizes Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio, a Canon Elan 2E and a 7E of that series, and the Adobe Creative Suite.

On September 19th of 2016, Luis announced on his DeviantArt journal page that he had become an editor for the YouTube channel "Death Toll's Corner."

Dozerfleet involvement
In 2015, Luis' photo of a vintage bouncer was modified to look like The Socratic from Phaemer Village Peacekeepers, given that photo's resemblance to the character. He has been the closest photographic match to date for the character, one that was originally created in The Sims 3.

Education
In addition to his time at Ferris, John attended Osaka Gaikokujin University through a study abroad program hosted by Grand Valley State; as a means to learn Japanese fluently enough to both teach Japanese language courses and encourage ESL students in his hometown with a Japanese background how to improve their English. He also received an English Studies Associate of Arts degree from Grand Rapids Community College, where he was also the vice president of its 2005-era anime club.

He was also a member of the club "GRC4," which focused on computer building, programming, and socializing.

In November of 2013, he was declared a member of the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society.

Career
One of the earliest job positions John mentions on his profile is his involvement as a service clerk at Family Fare, which he began in September of 2008. In 2006, he also began involvement in a non-profit dubbed "Putt-Putt for Life," connected to the Brian Bush Memorial. The event's proceeds also went toward helping the St. Jude Children's Hospital. From May to October of 2011, he was a backroom inventory tracker for the Family Network of Wyoming. He worked 2 months between December of 2009 and January of 2010 as a driver for UPS, then performed light industrial work for Nuvar from June - December of 2010. This position was given via the Beacon Professional Staffing group.

From September of 2013 until September of 2015, he was a tutor of Japanese to students at Grand Valley State University.

Dozerfleet involvement
In 2008, John was involved in Dozerfleet operations to a small degree. He agreed in January to portray Prince Volkonir for the Volkonir film of that year that was being produced for Video Production II class. He even lent his likeness to the character. However, he had to back out at the last minute due to some complications.

He was also involved with the founder of Dozerfleet at the time in coming up with a DVD cover design for Tales of the Past III, a fanfiction film by Martin Falch for the Warcraft mythos. Around that same time, John was involved with the Blue Moon Inn forum at Proboards.

Dozerfleet involvement
On July 3rd of 2016, "Simone 02" (from 2011) was modified and submitted to the BulldozerIvan DeviantArt page as "Maddening Rod and Cheshire Pig." This established Simone as the official facial template for Carly "Maddening Rod" Rancine, given her strong resemblance to the character. This was decided around the same time that models were being pursued for various inmates in Camelorum Adventures. Around this time, models were selected for Beatrice Index, Luin Kim, and Candace Mason as well.

Personal life
Alexsandar enjoys sports. Tennis player Novak Djokovic, NBA star Vlade Divac, taekwondo athlete Milica Mandic, and soccer star Dragan Stojkovic are among his favorites. He also finds the politics in Serbia amusing, if not "downright crazy."

His interest in photography began in early childhood, continuing to the present. He is very proud of his Nikon D3100 and D7100.

Motto
"Most of success in life is achieved, when you are not giving up!"

Career
Aleks has worked at VWG Inženjering D.O.O. since 2013. He previously worked for Targo Telekom from 2012-2013, and for Meter and Control in 2012 before that.

Dozerfleet involvement
On July 8th of 2016, Aleks' "Male 03 *Stock*" was modified into a Barry Navoz mugshot, making Aleks the first time a photographed model had ever depicted the character of Ion Boy. He remains the facial template for the character, given his strong resemblance in that shot to Barry's appearances in Sims games.

Dozerfleet involvement
This fairly secretive artist became the facial template for Luin Kim from Camelorum Adventures on July 5th of 2016, when her "Stock: Portrait 1" photo was altered digitally into a live action Luin Kim mugshot. Around that time, she has acquired over 280 watchers and been favored over 130 times. She has been submitting deviations since early 2009.

Hobbies
Much like Ardhana, she is a hobbyist photographer. She also claims on her DeviantArt profile to like cats. She is otherwise very secretive.

She did post a video to her YouTube channel of a tour through the streets of Jakarta.

Dozerfleet relevance
Via permission to modify, Ardhana allowed certain images of Nanda to be tweaked to portray the Flippo triplets of Candi, Miriam, and Marina in 2012. She was to be the main model portraying the girls in stock photography for the Cataclysmic Gerosha timeline. Due to her bodily shape not matching the girls, and her general inactivity and difficulty in being reached for feedback, she was eventually replaced with Lee Loo La for the part in mid-2015.

She may have a face more accurately similar to those of the Flippo triplets, but Lee has a closer overall body shape.

Dozerfleet involvement
On July 1st of 2016, Sito Alvina's photo Inmate" featuring Susan was modified to create the image "Susan Coffey as Anita Hallot" on the BulldozerIvan DeviantArt gallery. This is due to her strong resemblance to Anita Hallot from Camelorum Adventures, as portrayed by Irina Anghel's sketch "Street Sweeping Team."  Susan remains the facial template for Anita, though she has admitted in a video to being a lot more shy in real life than the fallen radio personality she portrays in concept art for the series.

Hobbies
According to her DeviantArt page, Shen is eager to teach Chinese culture to whomever shows interest - even going so far as to say she'd "be greatly honored." She also enjoys photomanipulation; setting up her account largely to see what others are willing to do with her pictures. She also enjoys painting. Her favorite music band has been listed as being Jay Chou.

Dozerfleet relevance
In 2015, Shen's picture was chosen as the official look for the Cataclysmic Gerosha timeline's version of Mingmei "Stung Hornet" Cheng. This "Chinese answer to Marvel's Black Widow" character seemed a perfect fit for Shen to portray, given her uncanny resemblance to prior artworks depicting the character in various games. The other reason Shen was chosen was due to her policy on image sharing and alteration being fairly flexible.

Languages spoken
Shen's native language is Chinese. However, she has learned a few words of English and claims to know some words of French also.

Career
On her official website at SquareSpace, Mihaela claims to love doing photography involving supernatural themes. "All things fantasy and paranormal." She is a fan of doing book covers, and gladly accepts professional offers for her to do work in book covers.

Dozerfleet involvement
Mihaela's "Red 3" photo was altered on July 1st of 2016 to make her look more like Lemon Witch, given her already strong resemblance to the character. This has made her the official face template for all live action depictions of the character from that point onward. This resemblance was further celebrated in a GirlsAskGuys take here.&dagger;

Dozerfleet involvement
On March 22nd of 2015, Spenelo's "OLE Stock 2" photo became the facial template for Bolte Chipotle. This made him one of four stock models as of September of 2016 to be chosen to portray a Phaemer Village Peacekeeper.
