Umm....I stopped by to say.....I LIKE YOUR ART!Β
I like your animation skills too, maybe you could teach me some day /wink/ just kidding about that. So you're self taught ehh? I'm self taught myself to be honest~
I found out about you on Tumblr, I liked the style so I decided to check you out.
Sorry ehh, I don't really talk much, but it's just that I really like your art, and I'm glad that you're not here for page views(where do page views get you anyway..).

wow this is probably one of the cutest nicest things i read on this site haha. thank you so much, sadly i SUCK at explaining things ;_; it's actually very easy to animate on PS i had someone teach me like a few years back i can try to make a tutorial for you the best way i can if you are interested!--YOU FOUND ME ON TUMBLR? ah ! ;u; i'm glad you stopped by maybe we can art trade sometime. yeah i gave up on page views years ago it was making me anxious for some weird reason. not about views andpopularity just have fiun with your art and make friends!

leesaleena In reply to OrangeLightning123 [2015-12-06 18:41:31 +0000 UTC]
Hehah~ You're welcome~
You know, I, well, actually can animate, but your animations seem more alive and smooth and stuff like that, which is why I love 'em. The strange thing is, I don't sketch before I make the animation, I straight out make it...or something like that.
I pretty much saw one of your pictures on tumblr, rebloged by someone(it was the metal gear solid panel), it looked good, so I decided to check it out I'm really glad that you draw for your own amusement, because, yeah the fame, that's what...well most people want.. o_____e* Hadn't really a lot of friends to make...some of them don't really talk anymore......SOOOOO Yeah, I would like to art trade with you someday.
And, thanks for listening, I always am lonely on this site. XD

dude!! thats so hardcore that you can just draw it out and animate. i have to draw like at least 3 sketches and than line art (if i feel like it).
yeah this site can be a ghost town. when i was first starting out DA was very active and i had lots of online friends. but people grow and change. also dude i so admire you right now i read your little webcomic ;; how do u have the courage to post your story? i am always so scared to do it
π: 0 β©: 1
leesaleena In reply to OrangeLightning123 [2015-12-09 21:35:29 +0000 UTC]
Yep, I just do the line art, when the whole animation's made it gets colored(which is all done in sai) and the images are imported into a software that's only actually supposed to be used for making games, but it's good for making animated series and stuff like that.
Deviantart has really become a business site today, you know kindalike youtube.....also, the more people joining DA the more it gets hard to be noticed... :C Β My webcomic? Well, Gargandia was nothing but a dream(a little more deferent to be exact) I had, I actually wanted to post another webcomic, but I chose Gargandia instead(because of it's modern feel). When you post a webcomic, you know that it's pretty much gonna sit there collecting dust(the thought that went through my head). But I didn't really care~ I'm pretty much posting my webcomic for fun that's all. BTW if I'm allowed to ask, What happened to your webcomic? I really wanted to see it.

OrangeLightning123 In reply to leesaleena [2015-12-15 03:51:12 +0000 UTC]
it's.. was really dumb so i deleted it, i'm not really cut out to make comics also sorry for the late reply past few days have been...interesting lolΒ
also yes i agree deviantart is trying very hard to be more about business than again i sorta blame the users for kinda making it that way, DA didnt really change, we have. omg what kind of program you use for your animations ?
π: 0 β©: 1
leesaleena In reply to OrangeLightning123 [2015-12-15 19:29:59 +0000 UTC]
Oh, well the program I'm using is MMF2(Multimedia Fusion 2) it's very simple to use(because it doesn't use that horrid scripting), unless you're making a complex game then, yeah. But what I do is make an active object and copy the images from Paint tool Sai and insert the images from the layers, then when that's done I do simple programming for the scenes. Yep, it's that simple~ But there's no chance in getting your hands on MMF2 now because...they disscontenued it..like the first one. I don't like using macromedia flash, it's not good for...well, low resolution drawing XC.
So, if you aren't cut out for comics, you'll become a comic artist?

I've actually already graduated with my bachelors! I was going through an accelerated program, so i graduated in 2 years one of the many reasons i didnt have time for dA O<-<
holy cow you're right.. we were teens when we met O_O

ehh while in the middle of college i was kicked out the house and homeless for a moment so..that happened lol and i'm not sure with art i just dont see it going anywhere professionallyΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
thejaguar9 In reply to OrangeLightning123 [2015-10-16 16:06:05 +0000 UTC]
is it because of lack of confidence in your skills??
If so, I definitely understand. I have a bachelors in Game Art, but i definitely dont feel good enough in art to go anywhere with it O<-<
but there are no other jobs that interest me (maybe coding but but i dont have the money to go through college again..) so i'm kinda feeling screwed xD;;
dude, i'm so sorry to hear that. :/ I was almost homeless, but then my (then)boyfriend asked me to move in with him and his parents (im so glad they were nice enough) so I didnt have to go through that... you ok? :/

OrangeLightning123 In reply to thejaguar9 [2015-10-17 06:12:53 +0000 UTC]
yeah a huge lack of confidence and self esteem, it's to the point i get anxious and i sometimes delete pictures right away. if u have a bachelors in game art i think you can do lots with that Β also thats very impressive, I AM PROUD!! ;w; coding seem so hard to me and yes i am fine i mean i burned a lot of bridges with people to be where i am now but i am on my feet and living on my own~

thejaguar9 In reply to OrangeLightning123 [2015-10-17 15:28:15 +0000 UTC]
I can do standard stuff, but I just am not as good as the pros xD;; it's weird. Β I'm good, but you need to be AMAZING to get hired. Which I'm not, so it's definitely a similar sense of inferiority. I have some finished work that i totally could post on dA, but I havent sinceΒ
Honestly, coding has always been fun for me since High School.
It's just a language. So if you know more than one language, just think of it as that.Β
I know English and Spanish.... HTML, CSS, Python, and MEL. You just need to learn the words and the structures... and BAM! You know the language haha
Although my spanish is a bit sketch admittedly :'D (curse past me who refused to learn!)
I'm sorry that you had to go through so much
I also recently lost a friendship with a friend whom I've known for.... 5 years?
They were int some hardcore drugs, and I was trying to get them to stop. They cut me out of their live since I "didnt approve of their lifestyle choices"
I'm glad that you are on your feet now. im so sorry that i wasnt there for youuuu ; o ;
