Who I am

Hi, I'm Apollo, but I also go by Surge.
I have worked as an artist online for quite some time, and enjoy making fictional works in a classic western comic book artstyle.
If you see a green horned creature on my page a lot, thats my avatar I use to represent myself.
If you want to know more, check the about section.

What I do

I am primarily an artist! I like to work with digital mediums, including 2D illustrations, 3D modeling, and puppet based animation, but also dabble in traditional mediums.
I am a trained game artist, but develop games as a hobby on itch.io

What I like

When I'm not making art, I'm usually studying for my second bachelors degree, or playing games like Splatoon, Minecraft, OFF, or Hylics.
I love dystopian fiction and surrealist/ psychological horror!
I enjoy breakcore, electronic, and vocal synth music. Please send me recommendations! =)

About Apollo Jefferson

Faith Background ✞
I'm a predenominational Christian, meaning I follow the church described in the Bible prior to denominationalism. I was baptized and began my walk with Christ on January 3rd 2022. I follow the Bible and the Bible only. I believe that the only path to salvation is through the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that repentance, baptism by full submersion in water, and steadfast obedience is required. _{(Acts 2:38, Matthew 28:19, John 3:5)}Above all else, I wish to please God, and hope to glorify and uplift him in all that I do. With this reason in mind, I do not draw nudity, sexual content, or LGBT themes. I will never be perfect, nor will I ever claim to be. If I ever fall short of the standard of conduct established in the Bible, please reach out to me so I may course correct.Art Background ✎
