# About me
Someone who desperately tries to do something good.Well, what the hell I have to write on the biography section? I suck at writing about my life and hobbies, I look like a 14-years-old girl when I talk about myself... so please be patient and take me seriously. Or, at least, try.
ENG:
Well, people, my name is Duga and my biggest dream is to become a book illustrator. For now, I'm just practicing at an art school and at home, hoping that my style will improve. But making me improving my drawing style is as easy as hug a whale. From under the whale. So , for now, I just draw and draw and draw , at least 2 hours per day.
About my hobbies...well, I've got quite strange hobbies. I practice breakdancing three times a week, so my entire body is covered in hematomas and various kind of abrasions, scorches and things like that. I still wonder how the hell I can be still alive.
Another of my hobbies is finding new ways to cover eyeshadows due to insomnia and anemia. Yep, I'm such an healthy human ! D:
Beside these two major hobbies, I love drying leaves and make drawings on them, listening to music, travelling , reading and eating (I spend nearly all my money in the two last things...)
I also love coffee and tea. And glasses, glasses are cool on other people (I wear glasses, but I hate them).
I'm obsessed with Adventure Time. It is...so..damn...nonsensical. I LOVE IT! D:
ITA:
Salve, il mio nome è Duga, e voi potete chiamarmi Duga. Mi piacerebbe molto diventare un'illustratrice di libri per bambini e sto dando tutta me stessa per raggiungere questo obbiettivo. Studio pittura ed illustrazione in un liceo artistico e faccio pratica a casa ogni giorno per almeno due ore. Penso che la pratica aiuti più di qualsiasi altra cosa per migliorare il proprio stile, quindi non serve a nulla piangersi addosso, penna in mano e disegna disegna disegna :) Come hobby faccio brakdance, compongo quadri con le foglie, dipingo con il te ed il caffè (e li bevo , ovviamente), gioco con i miei cagnoloni ma, soprattutto, spendo tutto quello che ho in materiale artistico! Se avete domande di qualsiasi tipo scrivetemi pure, io risponderò sicuramente :)
I don't know what to write now. so I'll write the first thing that pops in my head.
CHICKENS.
Peace, Duga.
P.S: Essendo io italiana, se mi scrivete o fate commenti in italiano, non preoccupatevi! Io stessa odio scrivere in inglese e se la cosa può aiutarvi fate pure! :)

Thanks of what? Thanks to you and your amazing artwork ** I've followed you (from outside deviantArt) since Experiment Y, and I think you are one of the best deviants overall! I simply love your style, it's very personal , and your charachters are...well, how can I describe Oliver, Aden, Kane and all of them? F***ING AMAZING!

Oh, I didn't know that! And wooaaah, you know theeem ;u;!! I've been so gone from deviantart... and haven't drawn those guys in ages, so I don't expect anyone to know or remember them anymore... (Which is sad, but life goes on, haha) but THANK YOU!

As I've already said, I love them. I also have followed HeLLp , and I loved it as well, but.. how can I say... I miss the old badass, nosebleeding, beaten-up charachters *u* I wish that in the future you could draw them more frequently (expecially Oliver. God only knows how much I love that mad guy)!
Have a nice night, man!

Haha, yeah I know what you mean. I know what it's like to watch someone and then they change subjects or style, and you just.. miss the old stuff...... D: But we all evolve and change over time. I was actually thinking about it the other day(I've been looking through a lot of old sketches and stuff lately, and lots of drawings of Iris!) and thought I should draw him again sometime soon... xD But then as I said, I wondered if anyone would remember him. haha...! Anyway, I'll see what I can do And thanks, you too! ÒoÓ/

Don't worry about it, HeLL(P) is wonderful! My favourite charachters are Marcus and the missing-arm-shouting-guy. If I currently understood Marcus' personality, we can be twins. First because phisically, I look a lot like him D: And I'm also lazy under the point of view of living (I actually sleep on my sofa because I don't want to go upstairs for lazyness, and also because my room's conditions are the same of my town junkyard's ò.ò). I love the other guy simply because it reminds me a lot my mum :'D I do a lot of phisycal activity and I practice a sport which is actually difficult for boys, for girls it's destroying, and my mum worries about everything. "Ohmygodwhatthehelldoyouhaveonthatknee?! Andwhatisthatgianthematomaontheshoulder?! Ohnoyouareill!?!?! HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY CAN HELP MY DAUGHTER? SHE IS DYING!" ... so damn embarassing and creepy. -_-
But, hell yeah, changing style and subjects is also a way of growing up! Yesterday I found out some of my old OCs (I think 4, maybe 5 years ago)... Jesus, what the heck was going into my mind when I drawed that?!?! Now I'm trying to bring them to life again, obviously changing some things, but it's difficult. Very difficult.
It will be great to see Iris again in your gallery , I will squeal like a 12-yrs-old-girl

Hahaha, Marcus is weird xD He's a bit lazy I suppose, but just you wait, Domino is 5 times more lazy than him o___o .... And I think he actually has a room upstairs in the Help-office, but still.. he keeps sleeping on the couch...
It's fun to find old oc's! And pimp them up..! Or if you have characters that you know EVERYTHING about, to the point where they almost bore you because you don't know what more to find out about them, it's fun to discover new sides of other characters you though you didn't care that much about... o.o it's weird...
I was actually thinking I want to try to do a badass drawing of iris WITH a nosebleed and all, because I'm sure you're not the only person who would like to see that xD

DugaAndTheFox In reply to Harkill [2014-07-25 08:47:33 +0000 UTC]
Someone even lazier than Marcus? Ahahaha, I can't wait to see it! That guy looks pretty interesting, I will follow him with attention... when he shouted at the bloody guy because he spilled his Hell Yeah can I was like "Ohmygod, this man is gonna die again!". It was an incredibly awesome scene
Yeah, I'm actually having lots of fun with the renovation of my old oc's! I've got one oc in particular , that I drawed two, maybe three times in my whole life, that is turning out as an awesome charachter that I'll probably use in a comic I'm writing. It is...weird...thinking that his personality is going to change completely for fit the new storyline, we'll see
And, hell yeah, thumbs up for the nosebleeding, badass new drawing of Iris!!! It would be amazing to see him again after all this time, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who remembers him

Haha, good! I love when the guy is trying to sneak away from him.. right in front of him....
And awesome! That's the spirit! Of course some people only enjoy characters for the sake of the character, developing them and their personality and then changing them over time according to roleplays they are part of... but characters that are made for a purpose NEED to change according to storylines, and most preferably also change DURING the storyline. This is something I think is very important to think about when working on comics and stories. I'm sure the character will become great once he/she has a real setting and other characters to interact with UuU
And woooh, I can't wait to have time to draw it! *in the middle of moving-mess* x_x

You are absolutely right, everything changes. I've changed during those years and also my OCs changed, it's a natural thing! When I created it, I obviously liked different things and now , renewing it, I understand that every single charachter sometimes need a makeover c:
Now that I finished him, I've started to pimp up all my old OCs from that universe. I think it will turn out great!
And don't worry about it, I'll wait I also don't have time to draw during this period. I've been camping during the past ten days, and I expected to find my room exactly as I left it. No. My mother decided to tide it and mixed all my drawings with school works, commissions, crappy sketches and so I'm not able to find where the hell she put the sheets I was working with D: Anyway, good luck for the moving!

Harkill In reply to DugaAndTheFox [2014-08-12 16:42:50 +0000 UTC]
Exactly! My older characters always had lots of piercings and punkish style, pointy ears and animal ears/tails and stuff xD And all that is cool, but it's not always practical for a story, to have all these unnecessary details on ALL the characters... Or.. there's a lot of weird characters in the HeLL(P) comic though(Wait, most of the characters there are actually designed by Ckirean ) but it's fine because that story is more.. silly and weird anyway, but I mean for a more.. serious comic or something I would want to try to get published or something, it doesn't always make sense if everyone looks super weird... especially if it's not part of the story...
And aw man that sounds annoying xD hopefully you'll find the stuff you're looking for! And maybe it's a good time to clean up in your sketches? =u= I feel sometimes I keep lots of stuff I don't really need, I just put them all in a heap...

DugaAndTheFox In reply to Harkill [2014-08-13 09:45:24 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I also think so. Well, I mean, the comic I am now writing is named "Weird" so you can imagine how the charachters are thank god I am quite good in drawing hyper-detailed persons (just think that one of them has piercing, tattoos and, because I am a masochist, also freckles and scottish-squared clothing), but if one day I'll decide to make a serious comic I'll do quite simple charas. The charachters that I am renewing now are, as the title says, all a little bit... strange, with strange appearence and hobbies. I suppose I created them after drinking liters of tea. I love tea (even if in Italy at 5pm there are 36° outside I NEED to drink tea, it's stronger than me) but it give me problems. I don't know how to explain that guys, seriously, from where the hell they came out? D:
By the way, I still have not found schoolworks , but now luckily I found nearly all the crappy sketches and I was able to separate the good ones from the destined-to-rubbish ones .3. I do a complete clean up of my drawings once a year, and that day my house brings outside something like 4 kilos of paper. I always cry that day because my heart says "keep that drawing, it's cute!" and my mind says "no no no, the proportions are completely fucked up, throw it out!" and I don't know what to do ç_ç
