My name is Lindsey St. John. As you can see around the site, most of my credits are to L. I. St. John. On the internet, I've been known mostly as Rinzei or Rinzei Reve for the last 4 years or so. I'm presently based in an area near Metro Detroit, Michigan and am pursuing a career in Web Page Design, but also enjoy Character Design.

I'm in the middle of my third year of college/university at Oakland University, having pursued a Bachelor of Arts and Science Studio Art emphasizing in New Media. I am, however, changing my major and bachelor program to that of Bachelor of Integrative Studies, focusing on art-design classes and computer-programming classes for Web Page Design.

I've been drawing as a hobby since I was a kid, around age 11. Most of my drawings are of human figures, usually young females. I started out doing very amateur anime/manga renditions. While anime/manga may still be present in some of the features of my drawings, I've not tried to replicate the anime/manga style while making my own.

I have present experience in the following programs:
- Adobe Photoshop (CS and CS3) since 2002
- Adobe InDesign and Adobe Dreamweaver (CS3) since 2007
- Macromedia/Adobe Flash since 2006 (limited skills)

I have had previous experience with the following programs:
- 3D Max (5 and 7) for 1-2 years collectively
- PhotoImpression for 1-2 years
- OpenCanvas v1.1 for 1-2 years.

I've worked on websites since middle school, learning HTML on my own. Since then, I've published four websites on the internet worth mention.

- The first is no longer available, as it was for a now-defunct family business. The layout can be found here: Petal Pusher Florist.

- The second site was for my Rheteoric 160 class project. The layout can be found here: Christianity and Hellenistic Religion.

- The third site was a personal site for my characters from the video game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion". The graphics themselves were supplied throught an Oblivion Fankit from Bethesda, but the site design was created and coded by me. The website can be visited here: Rinzei's Oblivion Characters.

- The fourth site is a remake for my Oblivion fansite. When I uninstalled TESIV: Oblivion and later reinstalled it, I started fresh with new characters and mods to use. For these new characters, I made a new site in a new format and feel to it. The website can be visited here: Rinzei's Oblivion Characters - Round 2.



Related to website designing, I've created custom layouts for SheezyArt members to utilize. These layouts were created with Adobe Photoshop (CS and CS3) and utilize the site's BBcoding and layout generator.
The layouts I've created can be viewed here: Sheezy Layouts.



I've also dabbled slightly in game modding with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. My two completely-original mods were 3D-modelling intensive.

- The first was the creation of a crystal-like staff, simply named Crystal Staffs (screenshots available on link).

- The second mod was the creation of a fantasy sword, named Sword of Unknown Origin (screenshots available on link).
Both mods were created using 3D Max 7, Adobe Photoshop CS3, and programs associated with game modding (Nifskope, TES IV Construction Kit).
