# About me

"Anytime now... hitting the atmosphere... oww!"
- Karen Traviss, "No Prisoners"

So...let's see. I have an amazing little brother who is in grade three and is thoroughly obsessed with Star Wars, and so am I, so that goes fairly well. We play it all the time. I also love Star Trek. Avatar: the Last Airbender is my favorite show. I like to read and draw. I have some awesome friends. And.. that's about it!

SAVANNAH

Why does your profile say that I am your favourite visual artist and that Nameless is your favourite cartoon character

I am so happy that I have forgotten how to use punctuation

You're very welcome!
I think I tried to fave "Safe" three times. I printed it off and watched the first three episodes of firefly the next day! That show is awesome GOLD! It's so good! Now I think I can appreciate your fan art more.
You did a wonderful job on River and Simon. I really like the silvery lighting and the stars. Not to mention the beautiful shading. Your art has improved so much, Gigi! It's wonderful.
See you!
Savvy.

Ahaha, although I appreciate you trying to fave it multiple times, I don't think it works like that. You started Firefly??? THIS IS GOOD. I have the movie, if you want to watch it when you're done the episodes.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this one, too. Especially the lighting and the shading, so I'm glad you like it. How's your drawing been going?

See you!

Yeah! That would be awesome!
You're welcome. It's been going great! I've tried to work on some poses. I have a lot of drawings I want to load on to the computer, but I have to wait for my dad to connect the camera. How about you? I heard you started a new sketchbook! I must see your drawings!
Hope everything is going awesomely. I miss you... we should get together.

Second season of Kimi ni Todoke has been out since the start of the year. I know you read the manga but did you watch any of the anime? Have you read any other good ones lately?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

OpalBat In reply to omnilocx [2011-04-21 13:07:02 +0000 UTC]

Cool! I haven't, actually.
I've read Fruits Basket, and watched the anime. I watched the FMA movie with some friends, and have been looking into some more reading. How about you? Any suggestions?
Thank you! And sorry I took so long to respond to this.

omnilocx In reply to OpalBat [2011-07-15 17:12:28 +0000 UTC]

I watched Fruits Basket within the past few months. I saw it on Netflix and I remembered that you liked it so I gave it a try. I think I would have preferred subtitles to a dubbing for it though. I hear the manga is quite a bit different.

I usually read Naruto, Bleach and Claymore when they come out. I like a good fight it seems. The last recent anime I watched was Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. It was nice and weird.

No problem. I don't check here so often myself. I check stuff like facebook a lot more often.

I see you've got a few pictures up now

OpalBat In reply to omnilocx [2011-07-26 22:52:49 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! Thanks. Yeah, the manga is pretty simular up to volume 5 (which is where the anime stops) except it continues on to complete the story and multiple back stories. The main difference is Akito. In the manga, he is secretly a she and the ending scenes of the anime (where everyone meets with Akito) never happens. I find Fruits Basket lacking action, but emotionally charged.I really enjoyed it, and glad you checked it out!
Cool! I'll try those out. One of the reasons I like Star Wars so much . Lightsaber battles are epic. I'm also a stickler for flashy lights.
Awesome! Thank you, omnilocx!

Pretty good, but I am amazed at how long it's taking me to finish stuff. I'm getting close though. It's exiting!
I'm going to check out some other drawing programs, too. I bet that will speed up the process a little.
Hope you are doing well!

Other than GIMP what other graphics programs do you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

OpalBat In reply to omnilocx [2010-07-24 17:27:03 +0000 UTC]

Hm...mainly just GIMP. I haven't bought any other programs. I would like to use Photo-shop's drawing program, so I might ask for it on my birthday.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

omnilocx In reply to OpalBat [2010-07-26 07:03:18 +0000 UTC]

GIMP is pretty good for raster graphics but I don't think it does vector graphics. Vector graphics can scale up a bit nicer at higher resolutions. Both have their uses in different situations.

You didn't somehow pay for GIMP did you? It should have been free.

You should get something nicer than Photoshop for your birthday! I hear the customer support is terrible. Besides there are plenty of free alternatives. Inkscape seems pretty cool in the few seconds I played with it just now.

Also, if you'd like something scanned, I'm around until about August 26th.

OpalBat In reply to omnilocx [2010-07-30 16:33:01 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thank you so much! This really helps, because I know so little about art programs, along drawing and coloring on the computer.
Not really, it came with my "Bamboo Touch" along with a Photoshop program used for changing already-made images.
Thank you ^.^ Really? Awesome! I bet Inkscape would be great!
