What are you into other than DS? Any hobbies you want to take up?
Most of my creative interests revolve around my music. I like writing but I haven't done much non-academic writing in quite a while now. I'd list reading, but I feel like it's a given. Crypto/infosec stuff is fun.
I don't know why or how, but I have a mild interest in cartography. I like archiving and cartography is like an vaguely artistic branch of this, archiving the physical world. Most of everything is mapped already, and I don't really have an interest in mapping fictional things (apart from like CRPG dungeon crawl maps, I guess). There's a large and complex arrangement of hidden tunnels beneath my city that'd be really kool to map, but it's pretty dangerous. I'm also interested in math as a concept; I'm good at it, but I can't find the motivation to do it outside of school.

Wow, I love those photos a lot. Very gloomy.
My hobbies are a bit varied. I love to play videogames a lot. RPGs and strategy most of the time, or just building/management games. I try to read every night and it varies to Fantasy, horror, classic literature, comics, sci-fi, poetry, sagas, informative, a bit of everything. And I like drawing from time to time, whenever I find inspiration. Lately it is not that often sadly. With friends I love to play tabletop RPGS and boardgames. We try to play one fridaynight in 2 weeks or so. 6 months ago I learnt crocheting, because I love woolen clothes (long cardigans, sweaters, scarves, socks, everything) but the stuff I like is always expensive as hell. So I decided to teach myself crocheting and knitting. So far I find it very relaxing to do while listening to music. When my allergies allow it I love to hike in nature, do some nature photography (mostly macro photos). Besides all that stuff I also do yoga, visit museums, programming (is also what I study), fix computers, go to concerts, watching classic movies, go to theatre plays and I think that is it.
It is a massive lot when I write it down haha. I don't have a lot of free time with my study and work, but I make sure I have some stuff to do that I enjoy.

My interests are pretty similar to most people here, I think. I obviously like creating music, but other than that -- reading (mostly fantasy stuff), tabletop RPGs (with a big interest in OSR but I'll play most things), some video games (RPGs, mainly older PC RPGs but I also love roguelike games and Dwarf Fortress.) I also make sure to go to the gym at least 4 times a week, but I just do aerobic exercise and cardio.
I'm also a massive history buff, in particular with Medieval times and 20th century military history.

Deadlift/sqaut/overheadpress/bench/pullups/dips are pretty much the exercises IO try to do weekly and you would be shocked how scary your quads and calfs look after a few months. You can scare people with them.

I've always thought woodcarving was really awesome. Both artistic, expressive, and practical! I don't do anything like that, myself, but I also do a lot of writing - freelance of course, though I just got my first steady writing job for the Prohibition Party. It pays basically nothing, of course, but It's enough to get by! Right now, a lot of my writing is non-fiction, academic, or journalistic, as those are what I'm best at. I enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction, however. Like many on this forum, I definitely enjoy tabletop RPG's, both OSR and newer ones, but I'm definitely more into OSR lately. I used to like to hike a lot, but since I moved to the city and slipped a damn disc in my back, I haven't done so recently. Currently, I'm writing a lot of scripts and screenplays (not for money, of course), and am currently directing and shooting one of them, a horror film. I'm very excited about it! I also used to do a lot of acting in musical theater, but my anxiety sort of got the best of me, and I decided to take a very extended break from that line of work! I think it was for the best, as much as I enjoyed it. I'd like to write a musical one day, as I think they are an incredible art form, and some of my favorite things to watch.

Below are some of my works in oil painting / dark room photography. I'm loving this work, particularly the photography. I'd love to see you translate some of this style to motion pictures. I think it'd be amazing.

I try and read a novel every week or two. I play video games semi-regularly, either old games through GOG or on my PSVita. Right now I'm immersed in Darkest Dungeon even though it's really, really difficult. And I enjoy hiking, though I don't get to do it very often - maybe once a month at most?
I also dabble with Watercolor (which produced the, ahem, controversial cover for my first album), but mostly keep that to myself.

Dang, the pictures aren't showing up for me! ah, so sorry. perhaps it was the image uploader? i uploaded them with a different one & edited the post. it's also possible the high-res images were just too big, if so i'll resize them.
