# About me
Freelance artist in Jacksonville, Florida. I go by Cato (pronounced Kay-to) on the web, partly just because I prefer it over my real name, and partly because when I got the nick-name it just stuck because it's all anyone would use. I'm also friendly enough, treat me with the same courtesy and respect you would wish upon yourself and I will gladly give it to you.I specialize in concepts, I enjoy painting characters and landscapes and seeing just what sort of story I can tell.

No problem
It reminded me of something similar that happened to me, and it was nice to see everything in my mind put into words and having so many people see it and take it to heart made me smile. I'm grateful you took the time to write it

Sappy chain mail. ;3;
Had an x-ray done today and they found you in my heart. The doctor said that if they took you out, I would die, because i couldn't live with out such a good friend. Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in 2012 including me if you care. Try to collect twelve, it is not easy. Be honest and send this to anyone who made you smile this year. β₯ ! ;3;

you're male and female anatomy tutorial was hilarious, and very helpful--especially the bit about center of balance and the fact that the head always alines with the leg holding the most weight. thank you!--maybe now my subjects won't look like they're about to topple over. do you have any tips on the same concern, but for sitting?

Penumbra-Ex In reply to 5UNNYR4Y3 [2012-07-27 18:53:32 +0000 UTC]
(sorry for the late reply, I started senior classes at college and had a bunch of portfolio things to get ready XC)
Thank you
As for sitting, there is only a little bit of a difference. When you're sitting you don't always have to support as much of your own weight, whatever you're sitting on is something your body can brace itself against, like if you were in a desk seat you would probably instinctively grab onto the desk for support if you were to lean over, if you're really leaning over you might bring your leg out for support. If you're just sitting on the floor and you lean over, you'd bring your arm out to support your head's weight, rather than your leg. Same rules, just different ways of supporting the weight. I've added in a sketch for a visual aid(I apologize for the sketchiness, I've never really used Muro before |D)
Thanks again and I hope this answered your question

Yeah I'm still here, but I moved to the 8th floor. New and worse roommates just kept coming in and I eventually just couldn't take it anymore, so I left haha. And things are going ok, classes are getting tougher, but I can take it C:

Penumbra-Ex In reply to flux4 [2011-09-13 06:08:25 +0000 UTC]
Yes. This room is much better, it's a 4 person room, so it's small and clean and my roommates aren't assholes XD
And the stories do get worse. Much worse lol
