I am a

Kitty got me >_<

Nova's cat Koji got me pretty good....the scrape goes from about a centimeter under my first knuckle, wraps around and goes up past where the knuckle bends on the same finger. all in all the scratch is about 1- 1.25 inches in length and it cut over the veins in my finger...so a) it bled like an S.O.B. and b) I'm gonna have to have it bandaged or splinted for at least a week until it heals...because its that deep and if I bend my knuckle it will split it open.

Gawds I hate that cat's claws >_< Unfortunately can't cut his claws because the cuticle hasn't receeded from some of the claws...and it hurts the cat when you cut that...so have to wait another bit before we can do that...and I refuse to get cats de-clawed. It's just cruel in my opinion...especially if they accidently end up outside (even if you're super careful)

Sooooo.....yeah. No art, at least no decent art from me until my finger heals...maybe I'll write some poetry or something, who knows. Or I could work on one of my billion and a half stories that I can never seem to finish XD

I am a

boredboredboredbored

▶ What is the character you've drawn the most? (Can be original or fanart)
It's probably a toss up between kukri and Mitei, I used to draw Mitei so much when I first started drawing, I think they're about even now.

▶ What colour do you often use?
I have to pick one? well.....greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

▶ Any colour you are bad at using?
yellow

▶ When drawing people, where do you start?
head gets sketched and mildly detailed, then I start the body with circles, sometimes I do the stick-figure...it depends on what im goin for

▶ What is a character only your eraser will love?
kieros/tyron/any boy character I have. especiall if im in a bad mood.

▶ Which of your works took the longest time?
hmmmm.....traditional art would have to be a tie between [link] and [link]
both took 7-ish hours
digital would ahve to be [link]
at 6-7 hours

▶ What techniques do you use when you want to improve in drawing?
in all honesty, an this is a bad thing to admit....I copy their style and half the picture. I do. I take the part I like about their artwork, and copy it until I've managed to satisfactorily merge it with my style, and twisted it enough so that it is relatively original and done my own way. I do this with anime's and manga's too.


▶ What art tools/media are you good with?
mech pencils, non-mech pencils, inking pens sizes 0.1-0.5, coloure pencils which I haven't used in ages and have probably forgotten how to properly use. And a bit of paintshop and photoshop. And good ol paint/watercolour (traditional style of course)

▶ Art tools/media you are bad at?
Painter 9 and Illustrator 10....ugg I'm horrid at those.

▶ What do you think about your own art?
I like it most of the time when I'm finished with it....depends on the picture...but I'm one of those strange people who likes their old art soooo much. I see so much in my old art that I've just kind of....lost. I don't know if its from all the stress I've been under the last couple years or if I've just lost the creativity bug. Everyonce in a while I'll pull something miraculous out of my head, like my Muse picture or the one big one I did of my character kukri I stll have to frame, and I mean, I'm getting more compliments from my mom on my artwork, she's not all 'you shouldn't be drawing' anymore...I just....I dunno...I've lost the drive. Blah thi is turning into a rant XD

▶ Do you consult magazines for your drawings?
Yes. Especially for paint/watercolour I also have a huge number of reference books that I've built up through the years....still need about ten more before I'll consider my collection complete.

▶ What do you like about your art?
uhhhh................I think I like the fact that the simplest thing can inspire me. Like a song, poem, picture, or just a random feeling that's popped into my head. and the fact that even if im in an art block, I can still doodle (For me thats an artblock) I just can't complete a picture.

▶ What habits do you have while drawing?
I need background noise, I listen to music non-stop, especially emotional stuff, and also I've started getting into classical music more...as for habits....well...don't you dare look over my shoulder without premission! I've literally slapped my brother from him looking over my shoulder.

▶ Are you good at drawing faces facing right?
yeah I'm not bad drawing faces that look right, I just can't do profiles to save my friggin life!

▶ How frequently do you draw?
when I get the time, which, sometimes, is maybe 5-10 minutes at work, but I try and draw at least once a day, since it is my stress relief. XD

▶ What do you do when you have artist's block?
I sketch, play WoW, write more paragraphs in my 5+ novels that I work on when I get artist block, scream my head off and listen to music. Not necesarrily all of them and not necesarily in that order.

▶ What must you have when you draw?
Music, Milk/tea/pepsi and I need the temperature to remain constant....which is hard when you liv in a trailer. Not to mention how high we keep the f$%@!&# heat.

▶ Do you have a lot of stray lines (messy lineart)?
I am the master of scribbly lines! XD especially when using the computer to sketch.

▶ What is drawing to you?
Well.......It's not as important to me as it used to be, because I feel I lack the skills to get anywhere in that field of work, but its definitely a hobby I will not get rid of.

▶ Your goal from now on
improve, work on expressions, profiles, backgrounds, and hair. Hair is the bane of my existance at the moment.

▶ Artists you've had influence from?
Louis Royo, most anime artists, friends who are artists of course, and a lot of people here on DA

▶ Artists you like?
Louis Royo mainly....as well as the artists for all the mangas I own XD

▶ Which is easier to draw, humans or animals?
Humans, though I tend to stick to anime styled XD Animals have weird anatomy and I can not draw fur!

▶ Please tell us the title(s) of your own comic(s)
uhhh...well currently titled Tortured Memories (like my story) but I've only got the first3 crappy pages penciled....I'm not a comic artist.

▶ What is the charm-point of your art?
uh...whimsical characters? I dunno.

▶ What is the first thing you would draw if we're talking about fantasy?
Elf. Typical me yes I know....but my fave character happens to be a half elf thanks.

▶ Please choose your most beloved character
Kukri. I guess because I modeled her after me a lot, but managed to avoid the typical Mary-sue type char that has massive amounts of powers and everything like that. She's also got weaknesses, some strengths, but she's more average than anything.

▶ When thinking of characters is it mostly female? male? or androgynous/no sex?
Female. Tho I do need more male chars....

▶ What did you draw yesterday?
uh....sketched out a new character and did a whole bunch of random doodles in paintshop to try and improve...but I think my tablet has finally abandoned me...water got all over it and I didn't know about it until I came home from work...so it keeps cutting out on me

▶ What is the funnest part to draw?
I like designing costumes actually. I also like drawing the face for some reason.

▶ What part of other people's drawings do you notice first?
uhhh,......colour, hair, clothes, anatomy. not necesarrily in that order.

▶ Regarding backgrounds, what is your method of making it easier to draw?
uhhh...I try to avoid them altogether...I usually slap in a cheezy screenshot of some WoW scenery I liked.

▶ What colour coordinations do you like?
green/yellow/pink....bright colours. though everyone only sees the toned down versions XD

▶ What character did you last draw?
my new one Kinsei Satsugaisha, everyone calls her Satsu....name means Venus slayer XD

▶ Does your style change easily?
YES

▶ What part of drawing do you pay most attention to?
tFace, clothes, and hair. because it determines how you percieve just about the entire character. The face does nothing if the clothes aren't paid attention to as well. They define the character as much as the face.

▶ How do you feel about drawing H pictures?
I don't.

▶ Do you like criticism from others?
Constructive, yes.

▶ how many people do you normally draw per artwork?
two usually is my max....I've been into drawing couples lately (damn all my rp's and stories having better love lives than me XD) but normally I'll just draw one person.



Blah im done. Ask away if I haven't answered something you've been wondering. geeze how many of you even read my journals nowadays???
