Decided to feature one of my fave works. |
 I make a lot of crap but every now or then there might be something worth viewing. I dunno, most people tend to like the stuff I think sucks, but I pretty much think everything I make sucks to various degrees. I believe this wholeheartedly but this doesn't stop me from continuing to do what I enjoy. |
I favorite the things I like and I don't ask for any thanks in return. I'm a selfish person, the things I favorite are because I liked them, lol. And I would like to point out that I am a real human being, so even if you notice something of yours has been favorited but isn't on the first few pages of my favorites, it doesn't mean I'm a computer just favoriting everywhere. I tends to do mass-faving which is often followed by days of no activity. PLEASE DO NOT THANK ME FOR THE FAVORITE. |
DonateI'm planning to use the points I earn for a massive contest for deviantart members.  I started this Donation Pool sometime around January 2011, maybe earlier, so I give up on trying to set a deadline for points as it's pretty impossible to get donations. You can commission me if you'd like and pay in points.Previous donors: |

♥ I'm pretty open to ideas.Just know that I can draw a lot of stuff, but there's equally a lot of things I can't or won't draw. (Some things I may draw for myself, but I will not draw for other people.) Here's my general list.
YES, I WILL DRAW:I'm comfortable with drawing humans/humanoids the most. ♥

MY LIVESTREAM HOURS || 
F.A.Q. || If You've Got an Art BlockI've had an art block since May 2010 and it's finally starting to defrost.
I've found that one thing that's helping me defrost my art block is just forcing myself to draw.
I set up a 17x11in canvas in Photoshop CS5 and start doodling. I tell myself "Fill this blank page with stuff." I experiment with new brushes, brush sizes, and colors. I also experiment with color application. So if you have an art block, just open a Photoshop doc and force yourself to draw. (Or um, if it's easier or you don't have a tablet to work with, bust out a piece of paper and doodle little sketches.) Anything that comes to mind. It also helps if you maybe narrow yourself to limitations if you're feeling stumped. For example, I limited myself to Anomalies characters so I've been drawing them a lot and focusing on my story as a result giving me inspiration to draw and create more.
It's pretty fun. I don't think about anatomy errors and issues. I don't focus too much on sticking within the lines of my doodl
Drawing ResourcesHey people,
I started this journal because I had been dissatisfied with my art skills so since May 28, 2011, I've been on the hunt for material to help me out. PLEASE NOTE: This journal gets UPDATED! So check back every few months or so for anything new! And if you find something useful, please suggest it! If you have your own collection of resource links, please share them!
ANNOUNCEMENT! My journal is becoming too big. So soon in the future, I will be making a PART 2 to this journal. Some of these sections will be moved there, and the ones left behind will be expanded upon!!! Please continue to leave suggestions. Let me know what has helped you out. I would love to know.
So far I've found these sites helpful:
01. Get Better at Drawing Just some helpful tips.
02.
You want to make a Flash Dress Up Game?But you're not entirely familiar with Flash? WELL FEAR NOT! Deviantart supplies A VAST AMOUNT OF TUTORIALS from people who know and have some fair amount of understanding of what to do.
So I'll help you get started by supplying some information and also recommending a couple very nice and informative tutorials about Flash. Plus don't be discouraged if you suck at drawing in Flash, I provided a fair amount of information for an alternative solution at the end!
What you need:
- Flash* (any kind of Flash where you can write Action Script 2.0... NOT Action Script 3.0, these tutorials cover AS 2.0)
- Time
- Patience
*If you're wondering what kind of Flash I use, I'll tell you. I use a super old school Flash that does the job juuust fine. It's called Macromedia Flash MX, also known as "Flash 6.0 r25" Yuuuup, really old. I've had it since junior year in high school (approx. 5 years). I have Flash Professional CS5, and it looks pretty much the same as Flash 6, so don't worry.
OKAY!
Tips on How to ImproveMy good friend, ~DrakeSilver777, had posted a DA journal a long time ago (almost a whole year) that he has long since removed that was about how he didn't feel like a real artist and wasn't sure how he could improve. So I wrote him anessaylengthy Note in reply. And I kind of forgot about it since it happened along the time when I was throwing a tantrum over that one chick I call Otto.
But I was going through some documents from my Back Up files and found the document I wrote to Drake and decided "Hey, I should post this!
Here it goes:
I can't tell you how to feel like a real artist, but most cases, artists are never satisfied with their work and are constantly pushing themselves to get better. This is a good thing, otherwise we'd never improve. But it can also be a bad thing, if you push yourself too much, you can essentially burn out. So
My Color TutorialsHey guys,
I spent a few days writing these tutorials for you so I hope you take the time to read them and maybe even learn some stuff from them:
You can download both tutorials in a ZIP here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMMVW7HA
I also shared some helpful resources in the comments, so be sure to try them out:
Lastly, I shared some extra material, some tutorials that helped me figure out my own path:
Again, I hope all this is helpful to you.
