INTRO POST:
Hello, I'm not sure how this works, so apologies in advance-
my name is Robert, Pollywog, but everyone i know calls me Robin. I am an artist, or, i want to be. and i was advised that logging my journey could prove useful if not tat the very least interesting as i look for inspiration that could make a perfect portfolio for me to submit.
I'm trying to get into the Capitals school of art. Third try. but it will work this time, it has to. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
OOC: first time having an RP-account! and of my vsmp-sona no less, but everybody encouraged me to make it so blame them for whatever embarrassment i create here :D
my og account is @toadpolliwog btw, i do vampires fanart and stuff on there if anyone cares for that
anyways, this is an oc by technicality so prepare for a loooooong worded description of the guy... have fun :)
( MIGHT GET EDITED LATER IF I FEEL LIKE CHANGING SOMETHING)

Personal description: Robert "Robin" Pollywog is quite the odd fellow, croaky, awkward, all but social and with no real relations in his otherwise close-knit town, a dejected artist with questionable methods due to lack of art supplies trying for the third time in a row to get into a prestigious art school in the capital despite being rejected twice already.
He lives and grew up in a smaller town further away by the name of [ R E D A C T E D ], working locally at shoe maker trying to provide for his family.
As much as his motives of getting into that school is for the sake of living through his passion for art, he has other reasons to want to leave the small town he grew up in. To start a new life. New opportunities.
This is his last attempt at getting in, so he sets off into the world, looking for anywhere interesting for inspiration, possibly a muse? If he can even gather up the courage to talk to anyone… And he's heard of a certain ruined town with a nearby castle that catches his interest both historically and artistically…
Appearance: Standing at a shorter than average stature of about 165cm tall (5ft 5in?), they have messy and overgrown mousy brown hair and pale ginger bangs, two stubborn gifts of hair have refused to grow out or laid down like the rest of his hair, so they now point straight up instead.
Robins face is covered in freckles, His eyes are a honeyed brown and covered by thinly framed black oval glasses with deep eye bags under their eyes and a noticeable tooth gap between his front two teeth.
his hands are in rough shape from woodworking, from his hands slipping one too many times. his hands are almost always smudged with charcoal, from drawing, calloused and rough with some dirt under his nails that seem bitten and picked at an exhausting amount. his fingers have plenty of old cuts, wounds and scars. His clothes are large, baggy, apart from his pants, and wholly unstylish in the opinion of anyone who cares. his shirt being loose and wearing an oversized green vest accompanied with brown pants that on the opposite side of the coin look almost too small on him, going him to his knees. He's a bit ragged and unpractical, carrying a bag with whatever bare minimum belongings one would need for travelling and sleeping out in the open. Inside, there are two types of books, a journal that is just as much sketches of surroundings as is writing, and a sketchbook. With them he carries ink, quill, artist charcoal or whatever he could afford as replacements. (Insert character sheet or inspiration pics later)
