About me . . . Well, I'm old enough to know better and still too young to care. I like fast cars, racing video games, flash cartoons, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon in all its wonderous forms, (yes, I mean good fanart and good fanfiction, too), drawing in anime/manga style, reading, writing, composing poems and songs, painting, quiet reflection time, snuggling with the love of my life--my Michiru, and being generally just insane.

Clubs I'm In


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Progress Scale

0-4% -- I haven't even thought about it yet.

5-10% -- I know exactly what I'll do, but I haven't done it yet.

11-20% -- I've done some sketching, some thinking, but I haven't started the actual line-art yet.

21-25% -- I've started to pencil in what will be the final piece.

26-35% -- I've inked in the pencil lines by hand, because that's what I prefer to do, rather than rely on my sucky scanner to do anything useful.

36-50% -- It's scanned in, brightness and contrast tweaked, lines fixed, etc. and the Computer Coloring will soon commence.

51-65% -- The base colors are set.

66-75% -- The shading is done.

76-85% -- The highlighting is finished.

86-90% -- I've looked over the piece for any possible errors/miscalculations and fixed the problems that can be fixed at this stage.

91-99% -- The background is in, (if there IS a background), and I'm showing it off to my girlfriend and her siblings to see if they can spot anything weird I might have missed. Chances are, it has a few nit-picky things and those get dealt with, or I ignore it and post it anyway, depending on my mood at the time. Layers get flattened, final copy gets saved, and size gets decreased.

100% -- It's done and I've submitted it to Sheezy.
