# About me

FIRST, I LOVE GRANDIA! Everything about it!
Well I love to draw. That's why I'm here. I tend to bite off more than I can chew though and spend a great deal of time doing various pieces at once. Hence the lack of regular scheduled uploads. My favorite thing right now is Grandia and I don't see that changing anytime soon! I hope to become better and better at the traditional way and I plan on starting digital arts in the near future. Feel Free to ask or suggest things! I'm all ears to all advice!

ANYBODY who loves Video Game Music and Anime Music That is SUPER RARE go to this site! I found it and it's awesome how many music tracks they have of such rare gems. Absolutlely Free! No Registration at all! The Only Pain is that you download the tracks one at a time! BUT they are rare and hard to come by.

Hey! Just checking out your gallery. Your comics are really good. You have a quirky style that's really fun!

I did notice that a lot of your pics are really light and hard to see. You might want to try to draw a little darker. My professors always told me to add contrast to my drawings by being heavier with my shading. It helps make your drawings stand out. That also works with color pencils. It makes colors more vibrant.

Here are a couple ideas that I've been using to help with lineart. I sometimes photocopy my drawings which will automatically make some lines darker and get rid of some lighter lines making it cleaner-looking. I don't know how that works! LOL! Also check out some lineart tutorials on dA. That might be a good place to start experimenting cuz of your style.

Good luck! And thanks for the elephant waffles!

Ha Ha! Thanks! I did that one a couple of years ago. I was having a conversation with a friend and this somehow came up.That's me in the corner facepalming. LOL The only current stuff I have is the Grandia pics. Everything else was when, well I had a lot on my mind! lol. Back then I never thought of putting them up on devianart. I have been recently experimenting though on increasing my quality of pics as much as possible. See My Journal? My monitor was lying to me by showing that my pics were nice and clean when in fact they were not. NOW I have to work off my laptop instead. That is a good idea though Thanks I will study others lineart precedures. I like to draw in a funny expressive style, still tweaking it plenty though. Thanks so much for the feedback. I appreciate it a lot.

Oh and this is a good tutorial on cleaning up drawings on photoshop. It's fairly easy. I had to experiment with the brightness/contrast values sometimes to get them really clean. But it really helps!
