Hey, guys- this is a bit late (alright, reeeeeaaaallllly late), but better late than never, eh? -dodges several thrown objects- And I swear I'll get some art up here soon. Not anything all that good, but hey, I'll get to explaining what you can expect pretty soon.

To start, I'm an amateur artist, and interested in the illustration/concept art/comic fields if only I'd get off my lazy ass and do a little work for once. I also write nearly all the time... so technically it's roleplaying, but it still counts if it's the paragraph kind, right? No, not really? Ah, well. But I am working to become better at art and writing, so hopefully if you come back here later, you might see some improvement. It probably doesn't help that I spend more time looking at art and tutorials than actually drawing, either. so if you find some good tutorials, link me, please?

So, right. I've got no job, even though I've tried (and failed) to get an internship several times. My hobbies- besides drawing and writing- would be, uh... I guess just hanging out with people. And reading. Right now I'm reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 'cause it was $3.95 at Borders (where I don't understand the pricing system at all. Really should have went to the used bookstore, but hindsight's always better). I really need more hobbies, actually. Oh, and feel free to link me to some decent music, too. I have no musical taste whatsoever, so I like just about anything.


Linkage tiemz!

My deviantart account: fishxlantern.deviantart.com
I've got an account on Niko's Paintchat I've had for about four days- clockwise- here it is: http://pchat.mine.nu/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=495
Copy and paste, apparently it's too long to turn into a link... Uh, I think that's about all the significant accounts I have. I've got this really inactive one at conceptart.org, too, but I figured I'd check that site out once I've improved more.


Moar Linking times11!

I'm not very good at keeping tabs on my favorite artists, so I'll just list whatever I actually remember right now...
Hiroaki Samura: Responsible for the amazingness that is Blade of the Immortal. Y'all can Google search him.
Gunnerromantic: gunnerromantic.deviantart.com
Adonihs: adonihs.deviantart.com
Janaschi: janaschi.deviantart.com
Nefar007: nefar007.deviantart.com

Uh... I guess those would be mostly digital, or actually not, but let me see if I can remember some of my favorite painters for you traditionally-minded people... though technically some of those above are traditional artists, so, eh.

Dennis "Bagger43" Brown: www.bagger43.com

There are others, too, but those are the ones I can remember. Of course, my work isn't nearly up to their level yet, but hey, I'm trying... so, I guess that's about all that's necessary for an introduction. And feel free to call me escape_key, fishxlantern, clockwise, or any variation of those, I'll probably answer to it.
