# About me
If you came here from the forums, please know that I don't go looking at any of your pages looking for something to use in our discussion. And I think you are creepy as fuck for digging around my page looking for ammunition for a debate happening in the forums.All characters, writing, and artwork here, unless otherwise noted, belongs to me. You may also draw these characters, or color any of the pictures here, and display them in your gallery, but you may not profit off them. I mean, hell, I'm not, why should you? Also, a link back here would be nice.
I used to look at the galleries and try to provide some comment for anyone who collected one of my pictures to their favorites. However, I don't really have much time to do that anymore. I would be delighted to look at your gallery and provide any tips that I can, just leave a comment or send a note. I draw as a HOBBY. I am not a professional. The tips I give you will be little things that other people told me. You would serve yourself better checking out some other tutorials, but if you just have a simple question or want a bit of advice, I can actually give that without being a total bitch, contrary to popular belief.
About Critiques. I grade all critique categories 5/5. All of them. Because I don't care about star-ratings. There's actually a decent reason for this. I feel like the critiques are supposed to be thoughtful written responses that go in-depth. By adding in an arbitrary grading system, I feel like that detracts from the strength of the critique, and artists may get hung up on the fact that they only got three stars in 'vision'. What does that even mean? So all categories get rated 5/5, and then I will (no foolin'!) write out a real critique for you. I will tell you what I think works in the picture and tell you what I think you should change. I only write critiques for pictures that I actually enjoy, so if I wrote one for you, I obviously like your picture, even if I'm telling you to change something in it.
I don't want to date you. Thought I would just mention that. Off-hand. As awkwardly as possible. Moving on...
I don't do commissions, trades, or requests. Unless I feel like it. I probably will not feel like it. Fair warning.
Lastly, I swear I am actually a nice person and genuinely able to take criticism. If you have suggestions or critiques for any of my pieces, please comment and leave them. I will actually pay attention to what you say and strive to improve with it. I generally reply to comments with a "thank you" even if they are super creepy. Ya'll can leave your super creepy comments if you like, but I reserve the right to be privately creeped out by them. Big time. Just because I draw naked girls, that doesn't mean I want to hear you guys talk about that stuff you talk about.
You know what I mean.

(Wait, oh no, is this a roleplay group? I just really rarely draw fan art and wanted to find a place to share my Agent Carter stuff. There's surprisingly few groups for this fandom! ...I want to draw more Peggy but I gotta color this last one.)
Just so we're clear, my vegan boyfriend is okay with me killing humans, but not animals.

Anyone who uses Sokka-plz accounts is okay by me. You fav'd a bunch of my stuff, which was how I stumbled on to your site. Really always a boost to my ego to see favorites from someone who is clearly as talented as you are and I wanted to keep an eye on your awesome shit.

Loved your disclaimer. I sometimes pop into a person's gallery to see what kind of person they are off-forums (ie, art) and if I can relate with them further with similar hobbies. Don't worry, I won't send you creepy Notes asking for a date.^^

kivabay In reply to Ebonsong [2014-11-06 09:52:51 +0000 UTC]
Haha, no worries. I like to have that disclaimer up because I draw beautiful women and I understand boundary issues. It helps others if I'm just upfront.

Ebonsong In reply to kivabay [2014-11-07 01:02:52 +0000 UTC]
Gotcha. I used to get that a lot too, thankfully I've split my art accounts elsewhere online. So boundary issues aren't such a problem anymore. Besides, nobody wants to flirt with a chicken farmer.

I always tell myself "nobody wants to flirt with Kiva, calm down," and then I'll end up with a stalker, haha.Β

Sorry to disappoint -- I'm not looking for "ammunition". Just curious what kind of person you are...
Your art looks rather good, anyway. I like the way you color -- very professional.

kivabay In reply to KaizenKitty [2014-06-21 22:16:22 +0000 UTC]
I don't know why you'd have to look at my page to find out what kind of person I am, but you can check THAT much and you can't be bothered to do any actual research before running your mouth on the subject of mental illness and violence? That's hilarious.
π: 0 β©: 1
KaizenKitty In reply to kivabay [2014-06-22 19:13:22 +0000 UTC]
again you assume you're the only person who does his research. I find this fact interesting.
π: 0 β©: 1
kivabay In reply to KaizenKitty [2014-06-23 01:47:48 +0000 UTC]
Actually, I don't have to assume, because I've done the research and it's pretty much the opposite of your guess.

KaizenKitty In reply to kivabay [2014-06-23 02:07:23 +0000 UTC]
Prove it. Write down the definition of "mental stability".
π: 0 β©: 1
kivabay In reply to KaizenKitty [2014-06-23 16:14:12 +0000 UTC]
So you want to be "right" but by the narrowest definition possible, a definition you read out of Merriam Webster, rather than taking into account legal definitions of mental stability or research done in the last ten years.
I wash my hands of it. You're a fucking idiot.
