# About me

Ah, hello there! Welcome to my page I suppose. I've got a lot to show you here, but as my ideas are always changing, I can't guarantee you that they'll be forever accurate. I might also point you out to my Tumblr seeing as though it's got more of my sketches and recent works, but here you'll find all the nice, sparkly finished stuff. Have a look around and say hello if you feel so inclined! I won't bite... well, I don't think so anyway.

Favourite genre of music: Varies, but Electro Swing is my personal favorite
Favourite style of art: Pencil and paper or Digital
Operating System: Lion OSX / Windows 7
MP3 player of choice: iPod Video 60G (not those little nano videos, the original one that was upgraded to handle video) although I use my iPhone for music now
Personal Quote: "Uh" (no really I say it all the time)

Hey hey man, thanks a million~!  Yesterday went rather well thankfully, and I'd definitely like to get in contact more often if you'd like~!  I'm still on Skype frequently, just set to invisible nowadays, so poke me whenever you feel or I'll do the same when I can!  Hope to see you soon!  (also, due to the dorm internet quality and room mate being in on occasion, I'm not really able to take voice calls all too often~)

AAAAAAAAAH, ACTUALLY NOT REALLY, I DON'T LOOK AT MY STUFF THAT OFTEN!  Heheh, in all honesty though, I really need to start posting here again; it's been far too long and I'm starting to find that I'd like to do better you know?  Of course though don't forget that your work's fantastic!  Been a little busy this evening with calculus since I got home, but I've been starting to thumb through your stuff, and I can't peel myself away from your style!  Very fun and expressive from pretty much any angle!  Do keep it up... and try not to find me odd if you happen to catch me peeking over your shoulder in class; it's always fun to see what you're working on haha!

XD No-I totally understand, I really need to put up some of my newer stuff up on here too-I'd love to post some more digital art up but I can't find the charger/plug into the computer thing for my Wacom TT-TT.  If only freaking SL would let us get some good software up on the Fujitsu, but then I really really would not be able to pay attention in class heheh...(and it would probably just make the thing break)


And eww-calculus,you take that stuff?  Uggg I can't get Algebra II regular.  


AND DUDE, YOUR STYLE-all that machinery-I can't draw that stuff for my life!!! It's AMAZING.  Just amaizing!!  Is it lame to complment line art?  Well, IT LOOKS SO.... FREAKING PROFESSIONAL DUDE-AND THE COLORS AND THINGS-PROFESSIONAL. AND CHARACTERS, I look at a few and they are so awesome  You totally should upload more stuff, I can't get over how good your stuff is-I was really freaking shocked when I first saw it-its spectacular!!


And no-not odd at all, the complements on doodles are very appreciated XD

Haha, at least your Wacom works!!  Just got a new tablet not too long ago, and while it's a welcome replacement to the old one, it and SAI *the program that I use* do Not get along well as it seems!  I've found a way to use it well enough, but it involved a little adapting on my part heh~  And to be honest, while the laptop they provide us is akin to the Wacom Cintiq, I just don't find that it has the best screen calibrations.  Too much space between the tablet interface and the screen underneath, so the calibrations are never quite where you want them to be unless you're looking at the perfect angle~ 


Ahhhh~  Well I do unfortunately, but I started realizing junior year that it was a mistake haha!  Still, I'm afloat... more or less...


NRRRRRRRF, THANKYOU THANKYOU... ON EVERYTHING!  I would probably classify it as an unhealthy obsession so much so that it's a hazard to drive less I veer off the road while eyeing another driver's car, but that's beside the point!  Still though, I love your colorwork though!  I mean, I try to work with colors and shading as much as I can, but it's /very/ rare that I ever slap together something that works haha!  That being said, your colors and their mechanics look far better as far as flow and feel go!  Ahhhhhhh, I just really like your style too though, somehting about it that I can't really put my finger on; it's going to drive me crazy!  *that and you can actually draw people... if i had a penny for every time i tried to draw a person and failed, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to worry about going to school for a job...*


Haha, then thanks a million!  Can't wait to see them again sometime!

Oh God, I'm sorry to hear about that SAI problem-- Good thing you figured it out though!! And the computers at school....I actually thought the same thing at first-but I am actually really use to how off it is XD-I think the most annoying thing is when you just want the screen to be up-at just the right angle before it switches into tablet mode, because thats when it is to off for me to use( I hate that tablet mode-it switches the screen-and I don't see how people can even see the screen with the lights on the celling so bright)   But over-all I actually enjoy drawing on it....wait one more complaint.  One-note has no colors.  OH one more.  That feel when you try to color in something and line art you had before shows up on top of it.


I'm assuming you are talking about your characters on obsession, because I am the exact same way, my characters and stories are my freaking life, I don't understand what other people think about if they are not creating a character or story.  And thank you on the colors-I never thought I was any good at colors hehe....

And people-dude I probably have a grand-total of 5 in my gallery, I've only started drawing them in the past three months or so, if I'm not looking at a ref, I still think they often look very sloppy and I can only draw them in one angle....but I'm still working on it...

Ruby229 In reply to Silvers-wings [2013-11-13 04:33:22 +0000 UTC]

Hah, honestly though, I've just given up on trying to draw on those tablets all together.  I'll do it sometimes, but I usually just keep a sketchpad handy for whatever I feel like doodling... of course that's quite limited in colors, but I digress~

Haha, I saw the follow-up comment, but really I have to admit that the other is also true!  I find far too much of my more creative thoughts to fought over by whatever characters I have tickling my flight of fancy for the moment, but nowadays it's also machines for the fictitious brand of arms and armaments.  Still though, I can't really stop making characters no matter how many I already have, but I can't say I'm without my current favorites of course~  *and 5 or not, they look darn good to me haha, so that's a whopping 5 more than I'll ever make successfully!!*


(sorry if that seemed a little short in reply, but I'm starting to get ready for bed and the likes)

Alright then. I suppose if this is something to recruit a bit of help (or something similar), it might be best taken care of by note perhaps?

Haha, oh they're going better than they were at least! It's mostly just the fact that I feel I typically need a few consecutive hours to fully participate in the chats.

I have a question though. What about those comment RP systems? I mean, the missions might best be suited for the chats seeing as though they have so many participants, but perhaps there could be minor RP's in the comments of pictures? Idk, just thinking out loud, but I guess I'm still so used to the forum format of RPing. Chat based is fun, but not my strong suit sometimes.

Karrendaen In reply to Ruby229 [2013-03-25 22:22:38 +0000 UTC]

You can RP wherever and however you want dear ^^

Through notes, comments, mails, instant messenger ... Just remember to note a summary of it to the mods if you wish your RP to have an impact in the world
