# About me
Hey! My name is Sean Donahoe, known here on DeviantArt as Cagedmuse, and I'm still somewhat of a newbie at art. Got started drawing and such after discovering a web-comic one day while browsing teh interwebz and now I've been drawing off and on for a few years. I've definitely improved, though I still have a long way to go, and I'm still developing my own style of art. I hope to one day start my own web-comic and get some of these stories/ideas out of my head and out for others to enjoy! :-)Current Residence: A small blue room.
Favourite genre of music: All things epic!
Favourite style of art: Comic, Manga
Operating System: SII (Self-Induced Insomnia)
Shell of choice: Incendiary
Wallpaper of choice: O,o
Favourite cartoon character: Calvin and Hobbes
Personal Quote: In all honesty, what is the difference between a memory from reality and one from a dream?

Uhm..Not that I'm complaining or anything. But..did you press the "+devwatch" button by accident or something XD; I hardly have anything up...and it's all crap so far :/
I really don't care if it was
But, if you truly meant it, may I ask why you watched me? O__o?
Ahahaha. I'm obviously really confused right now. XD

Lol, don't worry... not trying to be all stalker-ish or anything. I like to watch the artists who are still developing their unique style and skills as I find it interesting to watch as their stuff gets better and better over time. Since I'm a still trying to get better myself, it helps me as well since I get to see how others go about their creative process. Didn't mean to confuse or weird you out, if it bothers you just tell me and I'll remove you from my watch list.

Ah. That's interesting. In any case, I don't mind. Even though my gallery doesn't really reflect my style (as much) anymore. And I have an interesting taste in what I draw ;>.> ...Well, as of lately. I plan on having a variety of things in my gallery...even some "shock" stuff I think. I dunno though. So, if you ever feel uncomfortable with what I draw n' stuff...I won't mind if you unwatch me. Mmm...I dunno...Maybe I'm just being paranoid since your male unless you lie on your profile >.> . That's only a problem since I seem to subjectify male characters into humorous (or otherwise) situtations. I don't tend to draw females much either :C. Well..I do and I don't I do draw females sometimes. I'm just more comfortable with the male anatomy is all...So I most of my WIPs now that I've deemed colorable are male :/ It's frustrating for it seems that male OR female..I tend to "oversex" them XDD lol...I don't do that with animals though .___. That would be freakishly weird. lmao.
Ahaha. I'll stop babbling now. I've probably scared you off now
If you want me to clarify on anything, please don't be scared to ask I'm not as weird as I seem...Or maybe I am..I dunno...

Lol, glad you don't mind. No, my profile is true, I am a male. (At least, the last time I checked... and I'm fairly certain that things such as gender don't spontaneously change in RL, so I'm 99% sure on that note.) It's interesting that you are prone to drawing males, as any who sees my gallery may note, I'm actually more comfortable drawing females. Not really sure why, but meh... As to the unintentional "Oversexing" of the characters, if you are referring to somewhat exaggerated anatomy, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It seems to be pretty common for new artists to start out somewhat exaggerating the anatomy of what they draw until they get a better grasp of the human body. (Which is one of the hardest things to draw.) I know I use to do a lot when I first started, and though I don't do it as much now, I'm still trying to better understand the form of the human body and how to best draw it. If I misunderstood anything just let me know... either way, keep up the work and just keep drawing! I look forward to watching as you improve! Feel free to ask any questions. I'm still trying to get better, and I'd be happy to share any of the stuff I've learned. Good luck!

Nope. I don't. Ahaha.. ACTUALLY Gender could possibly change suddenly...for it's more a state of being/mind in my opinion and many others...hence Transgender people. Not that I'm transgender myself. But..eh..that's besides the point. Sex, on the other hand, definitely can't change suddenly ..for it takes operations to do that and stuff. Just sayin'
Haha. I'm not surprised really. lol. Chicks tends to draw males for the most post (there are some exceptions though...obviously)...And Guys tend to draw females (again ..there are exceptions). I hope to draw both quite often. Though I will most likely always favor drawing males. lol. I can't help it XD
Uhm..If my exaggerated anatomy you mean making everyone have almost a perfect body (or as perfect as my body anatomy skills can handle)..then yes for the most part...I don't know what that means otherwise .___.
Human body is definitely hard to grasp. I see many uber good artists draw one body type for the most part..and its' kind of annoying. My goal is to try to get the grasp of them all (or most of them at least..there's way too many types). That's going to take some time. lol o___o
In any case, thanks for understanding
I'll try to share stuff I learned as well...but I wouldnt' get your hopes up..I have bad explaining skills XDD;; ..I'm a very confusing person .___.;;; i can try at times. Anywho, don't fret to ask questions to me either

Hehe, yes. I agree with you on the gender issue... I should've used the term "sex" instead of gender. Yes, that's what I meant by exaggerated anatomy, along with with how some people have a habit of exaggerating the more sex-specific traits of the body. (IE: Chest, waist, hips, ect...) Heh, I'm with ya on trying to get a handle on the entirety of the body. There's just something fun about being able to draw people of all shapes and sizes instead of just "cookie-cutter" ones. Thanks for the Dev-Watch by the way!
