Hey ladies and gents! (I apologize in advance if you don't like reading :P ) It comes to my attention that my social circle isn't meeting the standard I need to keep me happy. I'm not saying I'm scrambling for attention that will never be enough. It's just that when you realize most of your friends have either moved away or had babies, and that you work with a bunch of middle aged single moms, you get that sudden realization that you can't properly connect with anyone you know. Instead of letting my social fears (and as a result, my depression) get the best of me, I decided to reach outside my comfort zone and search for people who shared the same delights. First group that came to mind: my fellow fans of Late Night. People who just revel in every element of "the game" and have fun doing so with others. Surely it is the ultimate destination for my quest! And so I stretch out my metaphorical hand in greeting and hope that I can find my place here! :) Also, feel free to find and message me on Steam if it is preferred. I will be more likely to notice messages there. |

Hi Toast! That's quite the predicament you have there. If it makes you feel any more comfortable, many of us have gone through anxieties and such. We do know how it feels, and we're always here with open arms. So! Where're you from? :3 |

Thanks for the words of reassurance, Maggot! (haha, calling you maggot makes me feel like a mean drill sergeant O_o) I come from the land of rednecks often known as Montana. Half my problem right there, lol. Like many Montana girls, I'm a tomboy. However, unlike most of them who channeled it into some kind of outdoor activity (skiing, horseback riding, hunting etc.) I fell in love with the stories and characters in TV shows and video games. It made for a life passion that makes being out amongst people... difficult. I spend most of my free time drawing, planning story ideas and playing games. Long term, though, I regret nothing. XD |

You guys are so nice! Thank you! :D Beakerette, I have this story that I have been forming in my head since I made my first legit character somewhere around 10 years ago (I had quite a few bad ideas back then but I've been slowly perfecting it to MY liking.) I have a dream in my head that one day I could turn it into my own graphic novel (even if it's just something that only I ever look at, LOL.) So it's 90% those characters and concepts surrounding it. http://nfr-inc.deviantart.com/ I have a DA account if you are really that interested, but no worries if not. :) I'm slowly getting closer to the level of style I want for myself. Kalthramis, I may just have to look into that tonight. I only have L4D2 and TF2. I will warn in advance that I am very new to computer FPS so I am rather derpy with them but I'm not afraid to learn. I grew up as more of a console kid but since my BFF moved to Texas I decided to try Steam so we could game long distance. Now I just gotta learn the new field and see how I do. :D Sailor Athena, I never did watch Sailor Moon, but I love that picture! Thanks for the welcome! |

o.o Thanks! Some days I don't feel like it, but I remind myself that my style is a work in progress. Looking at old pictures I can see that I've come a long way. |

Tsk tsk, it's not talent, it's skill. Cultivated over years of work, study, trial and error! Good to see another artist. You do have a very cool style. |

It really is work, but I enjoy it more than I can express. Everything I've accomplished so far has all been self taught too. O_O I checked out your stuff too! Looks great! I've never dared attempt pencil portraits of real people. |

Damn, you're really talented..or skilled..whatever. I like your art. I wish I had drawing abilities like that, but I suck at drawing. I prefer making music and singing. Anyways, hi and a late welcome. |

My philosophy is that anyone could learn to draw if they were willing to dedicate the time to it. It seems you channeled that energy into making music (which I listened to your stuff and it sounds great by the way :D .) Everyone has their creative niche that they choose to capitalize on, even if it isn't always obvious. Our diversities are what make the world a more thrilling experience! Thanks for the welcome! They are never too late. ;D |

Never done a pencil portrait? Then do it! It's really the only way to learn. Maybe start with some tracing paper and get the basic outline then shade it with the picture and your drawing side by side. I was self taught until starting college, and my professor taught me that. |

I've been told changing up your art medias is what helps you expand your skills. I probably should get around to doing one of those at some point. One of my biggest problems with my art these days is that I'm mostly spamming little thumbnail sketches that are story boarding a scene I am trying to plan out. XD It's good advice though, I'll have to remember that! |
