# About me
I'm just a twenty-something year old idiot living in 'sunny' Northern Ireland...
A lot of my work is cartoony in nature and has begun to become more and more influenced by anime and manga. Although influenced by these media I still like to keep my drawings and doodles my own so I've somehow learnt to almost merge the two styles together.
Anyhow when I'm not drawing or being 'fantastically and mind blowingly creative' (read as sitting doing nothing) you can find me outside climbing trees, acting childish and generally enjoying myself... you know, all the things a young adult should be doing!
I love drawing cartoons, colouring cartoons, watching cartoons, thinking about cartoons, brightly coloured shiny objects, climbing trees, drawing cartoons, cookies, drawing cartoons, reading, manga, anime and drawing cartoons.
I also like drawing cartoons...

Viiiiii!!! Have a great 2016! Sorry I haven't been on, real life has caught up with me big time and I haven't had a chance to draw anything
You better keep up the good work though!

Fridgey, 'ol chap! You still up and alive there, mate? It's been so long!Β
...Well now looking at the comment right below mine here, I guess it's been just over six months. But still!

Hey Vi! How's things?
I'm still alive and hanging in thereΒ Β I've been mega busy working my ass off. Apparently running a business isn't all fun and games haha!
Sorry about the late reply, I haven't had the time to check in on all of my regular haunts -_-'

No problemo! Just glad to know you're still hanging in there because it's always a little spooky when people start disappearing off from the usual routines! I'm doing okay myself, albeit still busy with uni stuff. Take a break when you feel like you really need one!
π: 0 β©: 1
Even though I'm super busy running a business I still wouldn't trade it in to do uni work. I'm glad that stuff is behind me!
I'd love to take a break right now but the next month and a bit looks like it's going to be super crazy. On the bright side though at the end of all this I'll be able to go travel and chill and take some time to finally draw again!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hah! Well, if you put it like that, then I'm all the more excited to get out of here already!
But yeah, definitely when you have the chance, take some time off, and do what you've always enjoyed. I personally find it keeps me relatively sane. At the same time, I wish all the best for your business despite not knowing what on earth it is!
Meanwhile don't mind the odd avvie. I did it as a quick joke, but forgot to back up the original.

I was wondering about the avatar! I think it's hilarious! You should totally keep itΒ Β
As for my business I work as a freelance videographer and mostly film weddings, music videos etc. But I've also worked on feature films like Dracula and Halo (which I think has gone on hold now...) and also shows like Game of Thrones. So yeah, it keeps me busy haha!
And uni's not all that bad, I just prefer being out and working over writing dissertations and smashing my head against walls trying to get after effects to work to finish over ambitious student projects!

Hey Vi! Sometimes I almost forget I exist too, gotta keep double checking every morning in the mirror haha
I've been good and incredibly busy. I started up my own business and have had zero time to dedicate to drawing, which sucks big time.
How's life treating you?
Oh! And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Phwoar you're a businessman already? Much respect man! That's some quality existence already! Merry Christmas indeed! Things are good here, thanks for asking!
And it's a shame really! I know I myself will one day reach that point, but eh, life goes on. Keep your chin up there, and let's look forward to a good new year!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's kinda crazy! It's pretty stressful but it definitely is way better working for myself.
I know I'll eventually have time to sit down and draw again but I have to wait for my workload to even out and get used to this long term time management malarky... The same will happen for you too, it's all about balancing things!
And yeah, here's hoping for a fantastic new year! I may not be able to draw for myself but I sure as hell love seeing your work so keep it up!

No problem! Your art is incredible!!
Seeing your work has given me the urge to draw something, even though I don't have the time, haha!Β

That's a really extravagant thank you message!
Sorry it took me so long to reply, real life unfortunately caught up with me and I haven't been able to get on dA for a long time. You're most welcome though! Your art's incredible!

Thanks ^^
Sorry for the late reply, I've been so busy working over the past couple of days I haven't been on the internet at all haahaa...Β Β

And a happy birthday to you! Hope you enjoy it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks Vi! I wasn't actually at home for my birthday because I've been at work almost every day this week and have literally only got on the internet for the first time in like four or five days... ugh, this growing up malarky is toughΒ Β

Blurdy hell, hang tight in there, bud!

Do a new piece already, dag nabit! I miss your work!Β
Think of the potatoes!

Ahahaaaa, I've been itching to draw actually and I've promised a couple of friends some drawings in return for their services!!
But a while back I was out on my motorbike and had a pretty nasty crash and haven't been able to pick up my drawing tablet because I've had to take a bit of time out to heal
I'm constantly pushing myself, and I bounce back from injuries faster than most people so I'm hoping I'll be back to normal by nest week!
Your recent work has been awesome by the way ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww, shucks! Shocking how this kind of news just turns up when you don't check up on people! Well! At least you're alive, and clearly still in high spirits, and that's good! Art-aside, I hope it hasn't been too much of a blow to the rest of your life either. ....Still get those pieces out there, regardless! Use whatever limbs you have to spare, ahahaha!
Get well soon, bud, and thanks! I think I've had enough of boobs to satisfy that fix for now.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, yeah I know! It came out of the blue for me too! I hasten to add it was a mechanical fault with the bike and not my daredevil antics on it that threw me off. I got off very lightly just being battered, bruised and needing some light physio on my left arm (the drawing arm of course!!) The bike however got smashed to pieces pretty much tearing itself apart but I'm slowly piecing it back together hahaΒ Β
I'm able to do most things normally again but trying to draw keeps giving me small niggles here and there which is a bummer. But I'm no one to give in, ever, so I'm determined to draw something before the end of next week!
And it's quite rare to hear you say that! What's next in the project pipeline then??
π: 0 β©: 1
Gosh darn. Amazing how fragile those machines that look so tough actually are. I was involved in a car accident myself last year. I ended up totally fine, but the poor car got totally spitroasted in between two cars, lol.
Still, stay alive out there! Ahah! Ahah!
And yeaaaaah, I've never been that much of a boobs guy you know? If you check my previous account Southern-Panda , you'll notice my emphasis on the more ecchi side of things is way less apparent. I think the overly-positive response to my initial fanservice stuff polluted my priorities.
It's an odd rut to land yourself into, and I wouldn't recommend it. Stay classy despite how tempting the boobs may be! Rather be known for that instead of "the person who does not put pants on girls".
As for future plans, I'm hoping to get some new OC pieces out since it's been months since the last one, and after that I'll tackle some requests.Β

You are most welcome! I really love your sketches ^^
And I just saw your journal and read that you're like me and have no time to draw anything because of uni work! I completely understand how you feel right nowΒ Β
Anyway, keep up the good work!!
