Hi there

I've been sketching a lot lately. I decided that I'm going to hold off on coloring these until I get a graphics tablet. Coloring using the mouse is just too annoying & time-consuming for as many sketches as I'm pumping out. It's going to be a little while depending on which tablet I get because I'll have to save a bit to pay for it & some of them are quite pricey. Any advice on what kind I should get? I hear the Wacom Intuos is great. I like the idea of the Wacom Cintiq because you can sketch directly on the monitor, but it's very expensive & I hear the color is not great. Someone also suggested a tablet PC. What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

Yeah I got interested in drawing Pepper again - at least for now. I just submitted one ("Asking For It") as you may have noticed. I'm in the process of creating the second one (sketched during the same session as the first one) which is a sheer beast - way more going on - compared to the first one. Just got done inking it but it's likely going to take days to color (mostly because I'll only have a few hours here & there each day to work on it).

Damn, I hate inking! It is the most stressful stage for me. At least with pencil sketching & can erase & modify, & the same goes for when I'm digitally coloring, but during the inking, every thing I do is practically permanent. I mean I can fix mistakes, but it's a pain. I'm almost tempted just to leave it at sketches sometimes, and I really love the way pencil sketches look, but when drawing something like intertwined limbs, it's so much clearer when everything is colored, especially in this case where each character is basically color-coded.

Hello watchers & visitors

Ok first things first: You may have noticed that I'm now drawing characters other than Ms Pac-Man. Hopefully this is a good thing. To those who are wondering why it took me so long to do this, let me explain: I was having fun. Also I had tried drawing other favorite characters of mine like (female) Link, Samus, & Princess Peach, but I was unhappy with the result, so you never got to see those drawings because they never made it past the sketchpad. That is, until now. I'm feeling better about drawing some of these characters so it is a nice change. It doesn't mean I will no longer draw Ms Pac-Man so for those who still want more of her don't worry, I'm sure I'll get back to her eventually.

Second thing: I recently posted a picture called King Koopa. The original is too mature ( LOL I can hardly say that with a straight face, it's a picture of Bowser & Peach & I'm calling it MATURE ) for dA so I had to crop most of the image out. However you can see all the uncensored stuff at [link] or alternatively you can look me up on Eka's portal.

Thanks for all the love

I was tagged by (~vorheesfan07) so now I'm going to tell eight random facts about me.

Rules:

1) Post these rules.
2) Each person tagged must put eight random facts about themselves.
3) Tagged ones should write a journal about these facts.
4) At the end of the post tag eight more deviants
5) Go to their page telling them they're tagged.
6) No tagging back for the obvious reasons.

Facts

1) I'm actually very gentle & pleasant in real life, despite my childish & violent fantasies. The first time i engaged

in a violent IM-RP, I had to get drunk to get over my inhibitions.
2) I have been drawing Ms Pac-Man being chased / eaten since I was like four.
3) I have been a nude model for figure drawing classes about ten times.
4) I do actually know how to spell "descending", but everyone makes mistakes they have to live with sometimes.

The username is just a combination of two words that together implies death, because I wanted my username to

reflect what I'm interested in.
5) The ending of Nausicaa (Kaze noTani no) makes me cry, as does the ending to Chrono Trigger.
6) I like it cold & snowy. I hate heat and humidity, unless I'm in a sauna or at the beach.
7) Almost one year ago today I had to make the hardest & most painful choice of my life thus far. At night I still

dream about the woman I left & I wake up angry at my subconscious for betraying me in my sleep. My heart &

my mind don't agree that I made the right decision. Apparently my mind holds more sway these days. It used to

be the other way around.
8) My favorite physical activity is snowboarding. If I could do it every day, I would.

Tagged Deviants:

So clearly I'm insane, because any sane person would get tired of drawing the same character over & over again. The first mistake my critics make when they berate me is that they assume they are talking to a normal individual. It may be sad, or deranged, or both, but this is literally about the only thing that I draw. I have many hobbies, this is one of them. I don't bother trying to figure it out & I certainly don't try to change what I'm doing when I'm enjoying myself so much. Just go with the flow man.

New pictures posted, more on the way.
