I just had a week of reprieve from my hell-ish exam schedule, and I was really, really relieved to be able to draw again.
Just so you know, I draw because it's the biggest stress reliever for me, that's probably why i do my drawings relatively quickly (all my computer-based work was done in the past 1.5 weeks), despite school, work and coaching.
It keeps me sane and makes me happy, and that's really why I do it. :)
thank you though, to the people that have come by and favorited, or left me legitimate feedback. I'm here to learn, so the more ideas and suggestions, the merrier!
but when finals roll around (soon), i'll be forced to live without my lifeline...my drawings. :(
I have a research paper due next week, along with zoology lab practicals coming up, as well as the final (given BEFORE finals week O__o'), work as the understudy to our University's top physiology professor and that final as well, genetics, psychology, and immunology... :*(
arrgh, i'm just venting, i'm a little overwhelmed, plus i need to work to pay the bills...and to save up for maybe a new tablet or software. '
I like to draw. I just got a wacom tablet and programs a week and a half ago. I never even used "paint" for windows before.
...yes, total NOOB. but i try. haha.
*my awesome avatar is done by: http://113420.sheezyart.com/*
thank you!! PLEASE go visit & fav
HEHE...yes, i'm new here, so i was browsing things and that whale was just too cute, and hilarious. i've never been able to make stuff in flash....wonderful work! :)
well i'm on DA too, and i've only been there for a little *pinches fingers* while longer (2 weeks) and here (2 days). I found it bc my friend that got me onto DA also had a link for SA. she said it's good to get feedback from different groups of artists, because there will be different people to look @ my drawings etc. she also said the community is a little smaller so people will see my drawings more and respond, because on DA they have like ...way too much submissions every darn minute, and your new stuff gets pushed away kind of fast. :/
idk if i like the score system though. just bc someone went and pressed "demote" for all of my pictures within like a minute, just because i wrote a blog about how i wanted more feedback from the score. :(
...Wow, that didn't answer my question!
Anyways, i have my own opinions on why DA isn't as good but it's irrelevant.
first rule of sheezy: Your number of favorites will always exceed your score. in some cases that's the difference between 0 and -1, but if they don't leave a comment, you can completely ignore a negative score.
however people are a little antsy about criticisms because of the threat of being banned for "flaming".
oh i'm sorry. i thought you meant how did i find this site! my bad, my bad.
i think in my first comment i mentioned i ran across it browsing the popular stuff. like i think there was that one you did of the black mage, and i clicked on it, and then right next to it (like the next in line) was the whale. i love whales so i just had to look.
haha interesting? kinna, huh? lol.
the black mage was cool, don't get me wrong. but like i said, i've got a thing for whales, and well, it's what floats my boat.
plus the caption and thought behind it was...great. like i would never have thought of the whole scenario. no, i don't have flash anymore. we learned it a little in high school and then again in college. my university is getting lame with budget cuts, now they won't let people that aren't enrolled in the actual computer science or graphic design courses use the "fully loaded" computers, but i just got a new laptop with a lot of extra storage space, so i'm thinking of getting flash and some adobe products :)
oh, really?! ...hmm...it's tempting, but i think i can get a copy of my own later. i was going to go software shopping anyhow, because my laptop is so bare, since it's new. thank you though, i appreciate the offer...i do need an avatar though. hmm. :p
I make avvies! free, but don't always look as good as a still image.
plus i'm peeved by people who change their avvies. I haven't changed mine for just about the whole time i've been here.
yeah i don't even really have one on DA, just one someone made me, and it's not animated, but it works for now. :p
i probably wouldn't change mine for a looong time. lol. what kind do you like to make? you can make me one if you're ever bored! i like the one you have, its so cute, i wouldn't have changed it either.
I like to make kinds that are challenging, yet simple in concept. nothing overly complicated, and something at least partially fun to draw.
translation: You come up with the idea and i decide if i want to do it.
I love being a bob-omb. plus i imagine everyone being what their avatar displays anyhow.
And ye would wanna keep somethin like that? KAY! I could do that.
on a completely unrelated note why not look at >this ID< which i just made for someone else on the site.
um...hmm...it's kind of hard bc bloopers don't really have much you can but on them...they're just a head and tentacles...errm...i think eyelashes might be a little freaky if it's overdone..idk...this may sound a little cliche but perhaps a bow or ribbon on the head or something? lol :p
hmm...i don't know... every time i try to imagine it, i just keep seeing the traditional blooper... :/ i guess it's a pretty prominent figure from my memories.
just do whatever looks good i guess. maybe make it pink. lol.
maybe that's a good idea. although the one i have there is one someone leant me, i was thinking of changing it soon, bc the person didn't make it specifically for me, they just said i could "use it for now" lol. i like the face, its cute!
That's the idea! you may also note the complete lack of adequate shading.
Yeurgh. i hate shading.
ANYWAYS! Feel free to ask me anything! I'm bored alot!
haha. i understand, i don't hate shading, but sometimes i'm not patient enough to do it well, or to bother. :p so it's fine. i see two shades of pink and black around the eyes so that's enough for me really? you're bored often? hehe. ok, but i wouldn't want to bother you too much! I think these animated avvies are so cool though!
haha really? well, lmk what other types of characters you're familiar with or like to make stuff with, and maybe i can think of another avvie for my DA
oh..."LMK"="Let Me Know" lol. it's ok i only know a handful of those too. :)
just curious, are you able to do any naruto characters? bc that's kind of my obsession.
hello~ thank you very much for the kind words and for the watch :) i'll add you too if that's okay. btw, those "plushie" drawings of yours are adorable. creative and cute, i love it! :)
