Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah, we have just one machine that does a bunch of that stuff. Good luck with saving up. I never can, mostly 'cause I don't make any money and I spend the stuff that I have sweatdrop


Nice, maybe I should give out free art too. Just like bloodyrose told you in the thread xd

*invades chatting thread*

Yes...um...hi?

Yeah, ok. So really, I'm just insanely bored. Also, I have to say. I'm jealous of the apparent artskills here. I'm no artist, but I've always wished I could draw. What can I say, writing just isn't the same.

I used to write.. but I guess I just don't anymore.

Yeah, everybody can draw, they just have to actually start -and then practice.

That's what I did. I used to draw horribly, well, anime at least. I also looked up anime tutorials on the net.

But I have also drawn my whole life. I drew a cat when I was six, and it was actually pretty good. For a six year old.

So I guess it also depends on if you've been drawing your whole life.

I was really bad with body proportions. Horrible. I would always draw the hand behind the back, and the legs would be to long, and the breasts lopsided. Then I got this book, and it helps me with poses and stuff. Hands, legs, etc.

I've been doodling on my school pages ever since the second grade... and now its a really really bad habit, heh.



Exactly rofl I looks back at drawing from not even a year ago and do that lol... and the ones from more then a year ago... just... no. sweatdrop

Yes. I s'pose if I practiced I could become something of an artist, but words come easier to me. That, and I don't have to look at some ugly creation I've made blaugh . Instead, I just get to read and say: "wow...I just created a whole new level on which the english language can be slaughtered!"

Besides, I'm not one for intense practice, nor am I creative. In answer to anyone who then goes, "how do you write?" Well. I'm a historical fiction writer, and so far, all ideas are inspired by history. Take my novel-in-progress: Pirate Queen: Powerful by Land and Sea. It's all about Grace O'Malley, who was indeed a real woman, and was indeed a pirate. I did some research into her life and background, changed some things, added some things, and voila. A plot. Not a great one, but something to work with.

So yeah. Reasons why I'm not an artist biggrin

PS. Nice banner!

Well BlackRose, assuming you are talking to me: thanks xd

As for the story, if you're interested in the idea, you should google Grace O'Malley, it brings up some interesting results in my opinion. And who knows. Perhaps I'll edit and post the first chapter here in the guild if people would be interested in reading. Don't expect anything too great though!
