What is The Ink Garage?
"The Ink Garage" is a sort of brand made by Dee in 2018 with the
sight to encapsulate all of her works in a single place, in that
moment, this included only the drawings she had made until then,
some chibis inspired by a book called "100 ways to survive
school", and a character designed from one of the outfits the
protagonist of the DS game "Bakugan: Battle Brawlers" could wear,
this character would eventually become what today is Pixel.
"I always had the passion for telling a story someway or another,
and drawing has been my chosen way of telling them, Pixel was the
first ever character to come, representing in that moment the best
qualities that I, as a person, could express"
In 2020, when the Covid-19 quarantine hit Spain, The Ink Garage
began to develop more as a hub for projects, releasing some more
drawings, and the first use of these characters for personal
projects, well, class projects.

As of today, The Ink Garage collaborates with some artists and
groups to produce original stories, animations, and more. With a
varied cast of characters, you're sure to find something you like

About the author [Me!]
Gonna write this in first person, because it's more personal that
way!
I'm Dee, a trans woman born in 2004 from Spain, currently speaker
of 4 languages, these being Spanish, English, Valencian and some
Japanese.
Since I was little, creative arts such as dance, music and drawing
were the thing I'd spend the most time at, I remember when I was 9
years old I'd watch a program on TV called Art Attack
relentlessly.
Unfortunately, at that time and age, family business kept me away
from the things I loved, having to keep my drawings away from
everyone, in fear of being laughed at, since bullying was
prominent where I grew up.
In 2017 I was in the middle of an incredible depression, and
decided to escape my feelings by starting to draw, and sharing
those drawings with my then only friend (hi sis!), she's been
always a moral support for me ever since.
Slowly, and without any external tools, I'd begin to draw better
characters and develop my ideas slowly, deciding to open as The
Ink Garage in January of 2018, with Pixel and a sona as the only
characters.
The rest you already know from the above section ^^
As of what I like? I love fantasy scenarios, and to escape
mindlessly into stories made by myself or by other talented
creators! Videogames such as the Final Fantasy series and the
Touhou Project saga are my obsession.
Other things I don't like are loud scenarios, such as big
discussions, or rowdy places, ironic (since my favorite music is
HardStyle) and the fear of lying or not doing my best possible
effort working.
