Something like a fox I guess... I was a huge digimon fan when I was much younger... these drawings come from that time!
I was about 12 or 14 i think... (:
Thank you very, very much... it means a lot to me!

Awww... you make me blush! :-D
But again, it`s mostly thanks to Photoshop skills!
All I really draw with my hands is the lines... while all the colour, light and shade are done with photoshop.
How do you draw? Is there music playing in the background? cause this is how I do it, mostly...

I started using Photoshop today, and I wanted to try it out myself... but father works with magazines and commercial, so he wantd to show me some stuff... But he only made it all weird and now the tools work a bit different 
I have music in the background too

Haha... "never ask father to explain something" It`s the same with my own dad. And the same with many of my former teachers...
I really learned about pohotoshop by trying things and practicing on my own, though my first results were terrible - and there`s still a lot of things I`m confused about. Like using different layers for example... %)
There`s some very good tutourials on Youtube that might help you. Just enter Photoshop...
Are you on Facebook, Myspace, or somewhere else?

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with a father like that
Well, I decided to just try some stuff mtself, but I might check some of those videos later
I have fb... but I hardly use it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I think all fathers are like that, somehow...
Something good to start with is: Picture (in the upper bar) > Settings > Selective colour correction... while I can only translate these terms from my german Photoshop. Another important tool is called "magic wand" (in german). It allows you to select certain colours and shades only. This is how I make the Black&White pictures with certain objects remaining colourful...
What´s your name on Facebook? Mine is Frederick Scheuer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's one of the problems with the Ps I use, it's a newer version and I don't seem have that "magic wand" 
But I didn't know how to make pics that's black and white, except a little part in it, so thank you for telling me
My name is Jozefin Andersson, and I guess you're the Frederick with a black and white profile pic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww... I understand. Mine is Photoshop 05... a pretty old version and I`ll have to get a newer one soon. But I`m already familiar with this one... you know what I mean...
The option that makes pictures black & white is called reduce colour. It`s also in: picture > settings > reduce colour - in the main bar.
And yes... I`m the guy with the Black & White Icon! I`ll search for you...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But if you're familiar to it, why do you wanna get a newer one? The newest aren't always the best you know
Thanks! I'll try that some time
Ok, cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you`re right... and I guess I`ll keep using it for guite a while...
But I wish to do all the amazing effects I see, here on DA...
Also I`ll need a better camera... followed by a better PC... and so on... X_X
Seems like: the smaller our World gets, the faster it turns, is it?
What kind of Place do you live in - Is it a big City?

I just got a Macbook Pro, so "all" I need now is a better camera
Mah, I live in the suburb of Stockholm, "yippie~"

My internet connection broke down while writing the reply on your former mail... 
I`m living in a small city called Bottrop, which is surrounded by lots of forests and fields... it`s a beautiful place, but sometimes it can be very boring. Luckily we have some bigger neighbour cities, so if you want to spend an evennig with your friends, do a party or whatever, we always do it somewhere else!
How old have you been when you were in germany... and do you speak/understand a little german?
I know your language through the music I listen, but only how it sounds - I don`t understand a word...
Let`s continue this on Facebook!
Deviantart is very, very slow on my old PC... %)

That sounds so niiiice~! I would love to live outside big cities
Like a chinese child?! Hahahah

When I was very young I had this chinese-like shape of eyes... but meanwhile I look european!
Awww.... I`m sorry... xD
Do you want to stay on Deviantart?

I love the Japanese, Chinese and Mongolian (and all similar) looks!
It doesn't matter if we go to fb or stay here, but I think dA is nicer, I don't trust fb 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, me too!
I`ve always been very interested in Japanese culture and history. It`s another country I wish to visit one day... I think it started through animes I saw as a child and teenager...
You`re very right not to trust fb. Actually Facebook e-,ailed me that you`ve sent me a mail there, but on facebook itself there was no trace of that mail. But I was able to read it through my hotmail account.
I have arachnophobia too.... and it`s pretty bad, cause we have lots of spiders in the cellar!
But I made a contract with insects: I don`t harm them, and they don`t harm me! xD
Somehow it works... xD
I`ve got to hurry a little, but I will listen to the songs this evening and reply with some of mine!
Maybe we should write via E-Mail... that would be much easier than fd and da... mine is:
frederickscheuer@hotmail.de
Have a very nice evening!

Animé... that's pure love for me
Hahah, your computer sure is weird 
Heh, I was awake til 07:30am today, then I went to sleep, and I woke up 03:15pm/15:15 (what kind of "time-writing" do you have? 
Ok, I you have the energy to listen to them, then go ahead
And post some music examples soon!
I would have liked to use e-mail... but my brother messed up our computer so I have no e-mail avaliable
However, have a nice day!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww, no e-mail... xD
I understand
I think there is a time-difference between Germany and Sweeden, maybe 2 or 3 hours. I`ll write you a mail via facebook, telling you how late it is when I send it. cause facebook displays the exact time when things are sent... then we`ll know!
I see you like One Piece for example! I`ve been into that too, and also stuff like Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell, Digimon, Dragonball of course...
I will listen to your songs now, and then reply on them!
I hope you`ll have/had (?) a very nice day too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds good, then we will find out
I've heard about Hellsing, but haven't seen/read it yet, but I think I might will 
I never liked Digimon, I prefered Pokémon
Nice! ... btw what kind of music do you listen to?
Thanks... it could have been better, but I'm not gonna be a pessimist
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hellsing was great, thoug ha little weird sometimes. Ghost in the Shell is a sci-fi scenario I think. It`s about the Human race who is able to replace demaged organs and limbs so that most people are meanwhile robots, except for their brains which are kept in a metal ball (the "ghost in the shell")... I enjoyed it back then.
and I guess there`s always a debate between pokemon and digimon... some like the one, some the other... but i never met someone who likes both! xD
I listen to nearly everything, except for most hip-hop, just like you. My favourite genres are metal, rock and blues... but mostly very progressive stuff. I also do music myself... I´ve sent you a link to one of my songs...
So your day wasn`t that good?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That Ghost in the shell sounds interesting
I've never met someone who likes both too
The lyrics in hip-hop and rap can be good sometimes, but I just can't stand it, the music is so annoying
You do music yourself? That's awesome!
I kind of make my own lyrics, but I don't write it down, I just make them up as I go along with life 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel very honoured then!
Before making music, I started with the same thing I think. Silently singing to myself, whatever came to my mind... then, one day I met this hip-hop fan who was a classmate of me.
We both liked linkin park back then, and one day we decided to try it ourselfes.
We bought a microphone, took a PC from our school and started recording ourselfes. Later we played live during our last day in school...
I`m afraid my singing voice isn`t that good either, but I love doing it and I have lots of Ideas for melodies and lyrics... must of the stuff I do is electronic, but I wish to find a band to play it.
If you had the chance to have a band playing the songs you have in mind, which band should that be?
I hope you don`t avoid talking in general, cause I bet you have a lot of interesting things to tell and share... as for me, you do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You better feel honoured!... Nah, just joking, I'm not that kind of person
Wow, you actually bought a microphone and recorded yourselves? And played live in school? I would never have the courage to do that 
I love singing too, but I hardly do it, because I'm afraid someone will hear me
Besides, your voice can't be that bad if you and your friend sang together
Btw, right now I'm listening to one of the songs you sent to me
Hmm, I would really like Enya to sing one of them, or maybe Enigma, but Adiemus could also make it good
Thanks, and well, I think I avoid talking to people because no one here understands me 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww… but I really feel honoured!
Yes, we wrote songs, programmed them (which is the main problem – cause none of us plays any instruments), and then we started with everything. Actually I`m about to release two CDs... an instrumental project with relaxing stuff, and another one with me as a singer/songwriter... but it`s pretty weird music I guess... xD
I would love to act too... but I have no idea where I can go. We don`t have many acting schools or theaters... sadly...
No voice is really bad... I remember, when I started singing it was terrible at first, and I still struggle to get better. I guess my voice isn`t bad, but also not very versatyle...
People mostly sing bad cause they`re afraid... you must be relaxed, otherwise you can`t use/control your voice – and to be honest; we were completely drunk during that concert... otherwise, I`m not sure if we would have dared to do it! So we were very relaxed!!! xD
Still it wasn`t that great, but I`m happy that we did it!
Some songs stay a part of us forever, don`t they?
I too remember lots of the music my father played when I was a child, and meanwhile I listen to many of those bands myself...
Do you write down the lyrics sometimes???
I would really like to read something you have written...
It`s sad that there are only a few who understand you... but I always felt the same, specially in school. It was a very bad time...
But trust me; the older you grow, the easier it will get to find people who understand you. This is what happened to me. School in germany is indeed a little like in the Oomph video:
No one really likes being there, and it`s all dark and unpleasant – but later, during mydevelopment I met people who are there because they want to be there. This makes a giant difference, and also there are mostly no infants like in school...
I know what you mean... having people who understand you is very important, no matter if it`s you real life or only mails like these!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, I'm honoured that you're honoured
Are you gonna release two CD's?! That's sounds promising, do you work with music only?
Too bad you don't have any theaters... but I play theatre for myself at home when I'm alone, because I am quite dramatic myself, it's one of my personality-features
You were drunk?! Hahah, sounds funny, I would have liked to hear and see that!
Yep, the harmonic wisdom of me is melody, so the songs I love stay in my heart forever 
But no, I never write them down... Every time I try to, they disappear from my head
Yes, and the school I'm in now id good and all, I get along even with people I don't like
I will always love dA!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And I`m honoured about that as well...
Yes, I`m about to release two CDs... but only privately. Like I will send one to all of my friends, give them away here and there – all for free!
The first one will be an instrumental Project, featuring experimental and relaxing songs... while the other is a project where I`m also singing. It`s more pop and straighter than the first one... but there`s a lot of work I must do until I can relaese it. Lots of mastering with the sound and stuff, also I have to re-record some of the older lyrics.
If you`ll make a new e-mail adress one day, I will send you some of my songs...
...
I bet it was funny to see us on stage, but I don`t think someone noticed we were drunk...
You produce so much adrenaline on stage that you get sober soon... (:
After all, I don`t think it was a nice performance... we`ve been practicing to much and in a wrong way, due to our lack of experience. In fact, my voice was pretty weak on that day...
...
I think I`m the same... words and melodies reign my thoughts, completely. All the more you should really try to write your lyrics down one day... I bet you`ll have a talent for it. And the more you do it, the easier it gets... and, yes... I know what you mean! I`m just the same!
...
I too don`t think that physical science is all... but I know nothing for sure there. I`m not really religious, but I`m open minded for everything. And my intuition tells me that there is more of course...
How about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I see. Good thing you don't take money for it, money is dirty and just so annoying. I hate money! 
However, your music, can't you link it via a note here on dA?
Ok, well, the important thing is that you should have fun, right?
But I will never get drunk myself, I think alcohol is so scary, I mean, it fucks up the body, soul and mind. Something invented by humans, I have no idea what alcohol actually contains
I know (I write "know" because I consider what I know to be the truth, but I know everyone doesn't agree with that, and I can't force everyone to think like that) that we have 33 personalities from our earlier lives "in" our backbone/spine, so I know that we have life before birth and after death
Wow, I feel so religious when I speak about this
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yes, I think money is a bad thing. Or at least the spirit in it... the way we handle it. I mean: everybody needs something to live, but we are greedy in nature. The more we eat, the hungrier we get... sadly.
I have made it a rule to me, to go through this life without causing demage. I may not make a blind man see again, I can`t feed all the poor children... but I can try not to make things worse... I think that`s a good start. That`s what makes the difference if the human race is cancer to our world or a normal species. You see – I believe in mother earth as well...
I don`t believe in christianity or any other religion, cause I don`t think God is a conscious being. I think he (or it) pure energy, Life itself – flowing through everyone and everything... but not an old man who decides if we`re good or bad. The only thing I can agree with is buddhism... though I`m not a buddhist either.
I´m just myself... that`s religion enough to me!
I´d love to hear about the rebirth thing you wrote about, the personalities in the spine, cause I remember something similar I heard one day... do you know more about it???
Here is a link to one of the songs I wrote: [link]
But youtube has messed up the sound a little. The hats for example sound like crap...
If the first part is too agressive, skip it... the song is divided into different parts and only the first 30% are with death metal vocals...
I´m curious if you like it!?! (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm so glad you believe in Mother Nature as well, and yes I agree with what you said! If it's one religion I "must" agree at least a little with, it's buddhism, but I'm not buddhist either
And yes, that's a good start!
Sorry, I don't know the more detailed parts of it, I'm just a student to all this "truth" and to what the reality of this world is like, and then we have the "true" reality.
The music was cool, I liked the variation
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think there is a truth you can only see with your heart, and when you do so, you need no further words. Sometimes, when I`m out for a walk in the forest I feel like I`m one with everything... do you know what i mean?
I feel so natural then, like an animal or like a caveman... but it`s not primitive – it`s just “true” as you say... a sense that`s lost to most of us, and that´s what i love about the music I listen to. Like this song: [link]
The metaphors are so unspoiled and pure... this is just how I see and feel the world.
I think we have something in common here!
And I`m glad you liked the song!
Thank you very much!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean!!! I looove to walk in the forest and get that feeling! It's a feeling similar to my "this-feels-so-real" dreams feelings! It's a feeling of dreams, in short, that all humans should be able to feel... sadly there are so many that have lost that feeling
While we're talking about nature and dreams, just a question: do you know who your totem animal is?
Yes, we surely do have something in common!
And to walk in the forest during the winter and get that feeling reminds me of this song by Roger Pontare
[link]
It is with English subtitles
Btw, I liked the song you linked, it was really good
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I once did a test saying that I`m an Elk or beaver in the Indian Horoscope... the totem animal on the other hand depends on sympathy as far as I know. So It might be A Wolf, Fox, Owl or Raven... one of these i think.
I think I have a special connection to all canines and birds!
I simply love animals, and I feel something special whenever I meet one...
Roger Pontares Song is great... I never really heard about him. It strongly reminds me of the medieval stuff I mostly listen to! Great music!
I`m glad you liked mine as well!
How about you and your totem animal/animal-horoscope?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My western Zodiac sign is Pisces, and my Asian Zodiac sign is The Dog
Indian Horoscope? Damn, I forgot to check that when I visited some Native American places when I visited US two years ago
My totem animal is probably a fox, since foxes appears in my dreams more than any animal 
If you liked that kind of music you might like Nordman too? I have three CD's with his music and I love them! He also sings in Swedish, but some got English subtitles on youtube
I'm really grateful for all the music you show me, I've become addicted to Savage Circus song "Beyond Reality"! As well as "Waking Dreams", "Celtic Woman - The Voice" and "Wait for Sleep"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I´m a Dragon in the eastern Horoscope... element Earth.
A Tuarus in the Western Horoscope and an Elk in the Indian one... guess I always have horns! xD
Which is your date of birth? I can check it out for you...
To me, contact with Animals feels like everything is fine again... like being one with them and one with nature. I feel like they understand me and I understand them, without words... most humans have lost the ability to do so...
...
If you get a new E-Mail adress or something one day, we can exchange music!
I have such a lot of stuff over here... about 150 real CD´s in my Living room and even more stuff on my PC...
I love music so much, and I´m very curious about it!

My element is water (pisces, duh!
Birth daaaate: 13 March 1994
Exactly! And I feel so sad for the people that have lost their contact to nature 
I have even slept on the floor with dogs
And you might find this site interesting: [link]
...
Sure! I'll get some help wth a new one (soon I hope), I'll tell you when that happens... it can take some time though
Everything is built up by music, so loving music is like loving everything

In the chinese horoscope you´re a Dog... your element is Wood!
You´ll find some details about it here - also about my sign, the Earth Dragon [link]
And this is what the native american Horoscope says about you:
Wolf, Cougar, Whale
The wolf is graceful, has initiative, and loves freedom. Wolf people are generally very trusting, and generous with deep feelings towards their loved ones. Their ultimate goal is to find and keep love in their life.
That´s pretty nice I think!
Don´t worry about time... we´ll find a way with the music comehow!
It´s great that you want to help people. The problem is that there are certain things you can only find out yourself... just like all those spiritual things.
I agree with most of it, but that is because I arrived atthe same conclusion myself... guess so many people are either not ready or not willing to do so...
I´m vey happy you did!
...
And don´t worry about the music... we´ll find a way for sure!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll read right away!
Wolf, Cougar, Whale? Does that stand for the date, month and year?
However, those things do sound really nice (and really true!)
Yes, I only help them with what I can of course
And yes, it depends on how much interest they have in it.
What are you very happy about that I did? I feel a bit lost... maybe because I listen to music?

It means that these 3 Animals belong to you... in the Native american Horoscope, there´s no direct result, just like with me... both elk and beaver belong to me...
As far as I understand the system...
I´m happy that you see things the way you do, cause people that do so are very rare...

Oooh, I see! That sounds wonderful! That they "belong" to me, and I "belong" to them I guess?

Same here...
I love meeting people, talking to them, learning about them... every person you meet can teach you something, give you more wisdom... and you will do the same for them... though we mostly don´t even notice it! It´s all a circle...

Haha... it would be bad cause I would be late very often (actually, I was). xD
The left side of the brain is for logic, math and such things, isn`t it? O.o
I`ve thought the same way very often, about this imballance between reason and emotion. And I agree... Our society is too focused on material success instead of what happens within us. I love those primordial ways to see the world, with magic in everything and a meaning...
Like a modern Shaman, discovering life and spirituality the way it is meant to be. It´s very much about ballance in Life... nothing is really bad, if you know how to handle it, specially with alcohol and stuff. I think I drink it 5 times in a year maybe...
Of course I can`t tell anything for sure, but I´m open to all these ideas - as I basically think: reallity is infinit... in magnitude, in dimensions, in time... there`s no end and no beginning to anything. I find it possible that our dreams come from somwhere beyond our reality...
This song describes it perfectly: [link]
Do you have a favourite story, book or movie?
I love supernatural for example.... it`s a show about such things.

Also zeichentechnisch kann ich bei dir generell nie viel meckern - die Pose ist mal wieder klasse!
Allerdings tun mir die Outlines hier was leid, die von der Farbe förmlich verschlungen werden. :/ Bei manchen Bildern passt diese Wirkung sicher, aber hier will das, meiner Meinung nach, nicht so recht hinhauen. Ich glaube, wenn man die Outlines mehr sehen würde, sähe es besser aus. Hast du Ebenen verwendet?
Wie gesagt -> in den Ferien ... *schon ganz arg freu*
