# About me

[Nevermind the username, this was originally supposed to be a test-account]

The purpose of this deviant is to have some of my favourite/best drawings online for everyone to view and as a back up should I ever lose the originals.

At an early age, perhaps seven or eight, I developed an interest in drawing and have since taught myself how to draw. In general, I like to draw people or humanoid creatures without backgrounds, but ultimately I strive for β€œcomplete” pieces. However, it is harder for me to draw real people because of my style. What is my style?

I would say that my own style is mostly recognizable by the overused dark tones and contrasted highlights; the shading follows a gradient-like pattern where I start from very dark and slowly build up to pure white (or the canvas colour). It has an overall 'gritty' feel while appearing smooth. The largest influence would be Akira Toriyama as I am a huge fan of Dragon Ball. Although my style is still in development due to lack of time, I can proudly present my progress here.

Check out my gallery.

Hello! Sorry that it's been so long since we last talked How are you doing lately?

Hello StarGamerWorld,

It has been quite some time indeed. You don't have to apologise though, you are not obligated by any means. Still, I do appreciate the comment.Β 

I am doing considerably well, actually. Currently, I am preoccupied with my master's thesis and work, so I haven't gotten much free time in the last couple of months. Still, I managed to finish the coloured version of Yamhan, haha.

How have you been? I would imagine that you have either received your certificate or are in your final year.

Hello! I'm very, very sorry for my late response again. I've had a busy month and semester, but I am back for now. I've still got a ways to go in education myself. Gonna be in there for awhile longer. But I plan on really getting back into inking come the summer, and possibly get some pencil work done as well with classes around then.

Glad you've been well. A Master's Thesis is, I recall, a massive project to work on. I'm hoping that's still been going well. Are you enjoying that so far?

Hello, don't be sorry! I have been busy myself so it is absolutely understandable.

You mentioned that it will take longer to graduate than expected, but how many years are we talking about?
And sure it is always good to get back into art, it definitely helps to cope with 'academic stress'. Though, it is quite time consuming.
In that sense I can identify with you when it comes to combining studying with arts, for some reason it doesn't form a strong bond. haha

As for the master's thesis, well it is not much harder than the bachelor's thesis. On the contrary, I am making good progress, and if everything goes well in the next six months I will be graduating.
Overall, it is the large amount of literature that I have to read for other courses that is currently hindering any art related projects.Β Β 

How about you? What educational project are you working on as we speak?

Heya, thanks. I've become extremely occupied by my schoolwork. But I'll be done the semester soon! Might be a couple of years from now, but I've got a job to help sustain me in the meantime. I do look forward to finally doing some more art and inkwork come the summer.

Glad your thesis is coming well! I've got some essays left myself and I plan to look for a summer job as well. I am taking a couple classes in English which are outside my major. It's been great experience, so I'm hoping to use that to do some fictional writing in the future.

Hope you are well too.

Hello,

I have been doing moderately well, thanks for asking. Generally, life hasn't changed much, I am still working on the thesis. Fortunately, the end is nearing, and I can start looking forward to getting a full time job.

I see that you are in a similar 'predicament', though you seem happier than me . A summer job is always a good choice, especially with the high costs of college and campus life (assuming you live their). Also the English classes sound interesting, I find that by taking optional course the way of thinking is broadened substantially. Especially since it gives you the option to pursue your personal interests at that given time.Β Β 

Good luck with this semester, and in general with life!

BTW: I will be uploading some art soon, it will be based on a Street Fighter art challenge from 2011.

Hey there. Sorry it took so long to get back to you I did finish my semester, finally, and able to get back into art. Practicing some sketching and got some ink work up. I'm looking forward to hopefully doing more too. I can't say my school year went great this time but I look forward to things improving.

Hope you've been alright too!

Hello, good to hear from you again. I'm doing fine, thanks. I have checked your new art piece, and all I can say is that it is very sharp and smooth! Great job on inking that sketch man.Β 

Also it sounds great to not have to go to school for awhile! You said that you weren't very pleased with your progress this year, but I assume that you at the very least passed the courses.Β 

Nonetheless, enjoy your vacation! I'll be keeping an eye on your gallery for new inks.

Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words!
It's alright though, I never intended to have a large following and I still have to work on my artstyle, there is a lot of room for improvement.
