Hey there!
Welcome to the group, sorry about the delay we're busy busy over here.
Today we have started our helpful weekly theme and will be hosting a speedy themed day on wednesday in our chatroom #SpeedyThemes
You probably already know all about this from our latest blog but let's face it, isn't it nice to get a personal message too?
Come on in the chatroom at #SpeedyThemes we'd love to chat to you again

Hey! I realized that you has a very similar style like me. You like to draw mostly digitally, on seperate layers, use almost the same style of sketches, and also get lots of reference from posemaniacs.com, like me. It's just interesting
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... I suppose that's somewhat true. For the most part though, I try to use only one layer when painting though. To me limiting my ability to edit what I've done is a better way of doing things. If you like posemaniacs, check out [link]

Hey, I have two questions. Have you done scholastics and do you know how they generally judge pieces.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I've not, but I have a piece that I'm entering this year in the computer art category. If you google scholastics art and writing though, their site shows up. It says what they look for on there.

Cool I am also entering pieces into it this year. Thanks I'll Google it.

What category are you going to enter in?

The show is amazing isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea! I was pretty dissppointed when Kamina died but it just got better and better 
Have you seen the whole thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've seen any Gurren Lagann episode/movie ever made. I watched the full series, and saw both movies. Don't worry about spoiling anything lol.

I guessed as much

Well, I liked the second movie far better than the first. They actually slightly changed the ending in it, so you should watch it. Both movies are basically condensed versions of the entire series, in two parts. It cuts a lot, but the second one adds a bit too.

Sorry, I was blocked by the person and couldn't respond. You're welcome for the warning.
And, I did indeed read their journal. But, it's really quite suspicious. Their friend has similar traits to cawkblawk as well AND tested out the script himself, too. How much testing do they need? And, this whole him wanting to help his friend spread a message across deviantART could easily turn into a hack if he includes a link to the message. Since, apparently, one of the ways to get hacked is to click on a certain link.

I apologize for the comments I've made in the forums. I understand you were only trying to help. (In your own way.)
The fact is, I never knew that anime lovers had such a bad rep amongst the deviants so I was just assuming that everyone was Flaming my usage of the word. I mean, it was the first time anyone's been so aggressive about it.
I apologize again.
Also, most of my portfolio is full of traditional illustrations such as Life Art, Landscapes, Paintings and so on. I understand that Schools won't take the medium seriously (same with even American cartoons) therefore I'm prepared to do whatever it takes in order to get a job even remotely close to "Mangaka" or "Comic Artist".

I only posted one comment dude, and you didn't respond to it. You didn't offend me, I was just letting you know my opinion. DA gets a lot of people that want to be professional manga artists, so people tend to be a bit irritable towards them. (and if you look at other art sites, it's the same way generally) Btw, awhile back, I was looking at colleges and found one that has a comic major. You should look into MCAD. I've read that it's VERY competitive though, and costly. (like $40,000 a year costly)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah I see. Haha well, it's mostly because DA closed it down before I could.
Ah I see. It makes a lot of sense since I did sound like a weeaboo. xP
Yeesh. That IS pretty costly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would recommend uploading some of this normal art that you're saying is in your portfolio than, if you're worried about looking like a weeaboo. Don't get me wrong, I like anime too, but having a gallery full of anime doesn't really stand out much. Speaking of such, I really should try to find more watchers lol

Haha I love working on paper that's 11" X 14" so unless I cram it in my scanner, It wouldn't be wise to do so. ^^
I don't mind what people say though it would be wiser to understand who I am first before they start judging xD
I'll add you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can't understand everyone on the internet, so most people don't bother trying. :/ Sidenote though, why not take pictures of your art? I hear that good outdoor pictures can be actually better than a scanner.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True that haha ^^
Really? I've never known that! I'll try it then. Thanks.
Oh, and I do happen to have some life art in my gallery (I think around 4 maybe?) so feel free to check it out ^^

I'll be honest, I don't know. I talk to befragen and nafis on AIM now, so it doesn't really matter to me. :/ I think www.attackthecore.com is befragen's current forum. I didn't join it though due to business.

That's the thing I was talking about. It's a rhythm game, but it's great for trying to learn basic tablet movements, too.
