I like drawing weird cartoon-y things as well as some freaky stuff and the odd alien concept .

Haven't really done much in PS lately. I was doing this eye thing a while back, but it was pretty shit so i gave up on it. I've just got a serious lack of inspiration at the moment. I might play around with it again over the next few days, see if i can come up with anything.

hehe, I'm humbled to be asked such a question! Hmm what inspires me?
Well firstly I have to say that I enjoy drawing freaky lil dudes and cute lil things! I tend to doodle lil drawings quite a bit.
Because I lack technical skill I like to keep things as simple as possible.
I'm interested in robots,zombies, Aliens and generally anything that looks visually strange!!
The monsters in the Silent Hill series(its a game if you dont know) are weird and at one point it inspired me to draw similar freaky things!
Also another thing I suppose that inspired me to draw freaky things at that same time was an online short story with illustration called All Tommorrows by Nemo Ramjet!
Sometimes when I see techniques others are using and I think I will be able implement that technique I create my own things using that technique!!
Most the time I use paper(A4 printer paper maybe one day i will get a sketch book),I usually "scribble" with black pen and sometimes use pencil but recently I have been using chalks(black chalk at that),it give a sense of intensity and by using chalks I can create shading and shadows which is always a nice touch.
I have photoshop but I still have to get round to learning to use it properly and I hope get a graphics tablet one day. But most of my deviations here on DA are non-digital.
If you look through my gallery you might get a better idea what I mean by freaky and cute things!
Anyway thanks for asking.

i have seen it.. i mentally favored it all. i cant favor everything.
.. anyway thanx i really like ur work. i studied graphic design n i suck at illustration. what takes oth r designers half an hour to draw takes me 2 hours. but hey, the one i favored can be a logo. copyright it n maybe use it one day for something.it can be on a t-shirt. scary skull can go on a t-shirt too!
seriously consider it.
n thanx for the reply

Aw Thank you very much! To tell you the truth I never studied Art in school(something which I regret)
I would like to study graphic design too but I don't have the necessary educational qualifications.
Hmm using that picture as a logo or on a t-shirt seems like an interesting idea!!
But how would I go about copyrighting it??

well i like writting "movie scripts' nm "sitcoms" n making music. one day i thought of the copy right thing. so i whent searching on the net n the tube..
this is what i found out..
first of all, it's better to consult a lawer.
now, i like to do stuff by my self. the cheapest way is to make the origional copy n post it on an official site that could stand for u. may be DA. the date u submitted it proves that u came up with it first n might stand for u legally.
a nother way is to mail it to ur self. sounds crazy? here's what happens: u have a script or a record or whatever invention. put it in an envilope n mail it to ur self n don't open it. keep it in a safe place -a safty box in the bank or if u like it old school, a treasure box n bury it in a far away island- when u get the envilope, the gov'ment's mail service will stamp the date it recieved or dilevered the envilope. that can stand for u in a court of law. that's what i know..
of course, consult a lawer first.
if u r afraid that a company might steal ur t-shirt design n mass produce it in china, well, here's the bad news, if u r successful with it, there is a very good chance it could happen. addidas has knock offs all over the place. if they file a law suite against that company, another company will do it n so on. it's just a hassle. just make sure u make a good profit with ur invention the first couple of years befor it's all over the place n ur not getting a nickle.. theoreticly, that's how it's done.
good luck man

Hmm seems quite complicated. I'm not sure I will do anything with it for now, but I will keep it in the background(i wont abandon the idea altogether).
Thanks for the idea though, I really appreciate it.
