Unless you're a 1st grader then you're not young enough to call me that. Even that little girl got an internal glare for that, I was just too nice bc she was so cute :P

I'm going to assume you're taking art courses or something then, grr kids being better artists than me haha.

Hey, nice to hear from you. You got a tablet now? That's pretty slick. Um, yeah well at first I'd say just play around with the thing, that tends to be the best way to learn how to work it. I'll be keeping an eye out, to see what you produce with it. As for getting rusty... I know all to well how that feels. I didn't draw the entire month of december!!! I'm finally pulling myself out of that rut. And will hopefully have something to post this weekend.

But yeah, really happy for you. Glad your man friend got you a tablet. I believe they are essential to doing computer color. Well I gotta get, but yeah, I'll be looking forward to your latest. When you feel comforable with that medium. Took me a long while to get the hang of it. And I'm still honing my skill.

Jan 12, 2007 03:26 PM by: GollumDragon

Yea, its the first time either of us have spent a signifiant amount of money on the other, both of us are usually cheap/broke and have an unspoken rule of not needing to get the other anything lol.

Odd.. I just looked at my gallery and the picture I thought I had put up I didn't...time to add that I guess. Most of my stuff right now's just going to chill in photobucket since they're just concept sketches for Emrys' "Cover for a Book" contest in paying, almost 2 years and its finally going to close soon!
Most recent: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/GollumDragon/Art/Gunblade/Amandacopy.jpg

That sucks, the whole month thing. At least I doodled in lectures heh heh. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you, too!

Dec 12, 2006 07:30 AM by: nobodysangel

I have a scanner and I've had it for like 2 years now lol I just took a digital camera shot of that one because the colors wouldn't show up right on my computer. Thanx for the comment though XD

Oct 8, 2006 09:33 AM by: zakuman

Yeah I haven't been around much. My day job has new owner ship, and I've been working six days a week there. It's rough, and when I'm over worked the first thing to take a hit is my art. I've also been working in a manga-esque style just cause it's easier...

Anyway, thanks for the comment. Always nice to hear from you.

Sep 18, 2006 09:42 PM by: Ammotu

Hi GollumDragon. here's the link to that tutorial you asked for www.deviantart.com/deviation/25149235/?qo=62&q=by%3Aammotu+in%3Ascraps+sort%3Atime
i'm afraid it's not that great, i'm working on a new one, so if you have any questions at all feel free to ask me.

Aug 18, 2006 04:44 PM by: Kerushi

Thanks for your comment!
In Denver, Dir en grey played second, so we left after them. I don't like Korn either. I only bought lawn seats, but If I had known how many songs Deg was going to play, I'd have bought better ones. They played a lot of the songs from Withering to Death, but they also played Child Prey.
I have a full report in my blog, which is in the side in my profile :)
Thanks again! Enjoy the concert if you go ^^

Well drawing pretty boys and dating them are two entirely different things ~_^ With my art I just like drawing very cute/pretty characters. But in real life... real-guy plzthx, I could never date a guy more beautiful then me @_@ It'd be wierd...

Jul 1, 2006 04:30 PM by: zakuman

Well... sounds like she's in trouble(being that sheltered and all). Oh I found the new animal crossing section on here... and put the pic in it's proper place now. So yeah... now animal crossing fans can find it.... I think? (They'll have to have the vulgarity setting on high....though :( )

Jul 1, 2006 10:27 AM by: zakuman

Yeah... I tried to put it into the actual animal crossing category... but it said that category is no longer taking submissions? Oh well. Anyway... yeah it's like sims only you get full control of the character. So it's more like playing life rather than playing house. Long story short... I find it to be cooler :)

Well I hope your friend gets a kick out of it. And isn't too offended.

Jun 18, 2006 02:58 PM by: Astronamymage

your pic is done clicky

Jun 4, 2006 07:35 PM by: DG-sama

Red is supposed to be based off a coral snake XD But when I was coloring him I couldn't remember how the stripes were supposed to go and my Internet connection was misbehaving and I couldn't look up a ref pic. So I was impatient and just colored him how I thought it was supposed to be 8D guess I was wrong

((sank you for the comment btw))

Jun 4, 2006 05:09 PM by: Dracoanimegurl

Hey, do you have any kind of messenger? Maybe we could chat sometime. this question was cut short from the last one again grr.

Jun 4, 2006 05:06 PM by: Dracoanimegurl

Cool, I'm going to FL to the Santa Fe community college for zoology. They have their own mini zoo and everything and I'll be working hands on too with the animals and people, giving tours etc.

Jun 4, 2006 03:13 PM by: Dracoanimegurl

You're a Zoo Keeper? Awesome I'm going into Zoology for college next year, I'm excited. Oh I checked out your crafts site, it's awesome, If I weren't so afraid of Internet thieves I'd probably buy. I love your jewelery. Oh, And your paintings are great too,

May 13, 2006 10:26 AM by: Xiakeyra

Thank you so much for commenting my elf animation. You are quite right, the animation goes too fast on the last image, but I'm not going to edit it since that would delete all the kind comments I have received so far. Some day I will do a better animation. I'm glad you liked it. And I feel sorry about you being epileptic. That must be hard.

May 12, 2006 06:27 AM by: Stratadrake

Yeah, "BlisteringFreakachu". Did you see the way he started that comment?

"Hi, you suck at drawing."

Seriously. That guy was just going around giving random flames to virtually everyone, with no regard for who the person was or what skills they had.

May 7, 2006 05:23 PM by: infurno

I use Photoshop for the cars I draw.

Apr 23, 2006 09:02 AM by: zakuman

Yeah... sorry I've been so out of the loop lately. I've still been drawing, just not finishing anything lately. I've been doing a lot of collaborative work with SpaceCoyote81... under the profile name Coyote-Zaku. It's a whole bunch of Lupin stuff. I finished coloring the 1st 5 pages of her doujin... now she just needs to post it. We will be drawing a few other things than lupin stuff soon.

Anyway... that's what has been keeping me busy lately. I do hope to be adding a few new images to my gallery within a week or so. We'll see though.

Mar 6, 2006 09:29 PM by: Randomobssesedeasilyentertaine

Just wanna say you are a really cool artist and the pics you do seem more original than most, I reallly like your stuff!
YAY
bye now
=ww=

Feb 26, 2006 07:48 PM by: zakuman

Thanks for the cake ;) Yeah, this weekend has been exceptionally rough. I've been working all weekend. And I was up late last night trying to hack my nephew's xbox. After 5 hours with minimal success I gave up. I'll get back to that this week.

But tomorrow I'm going to go see a really sweet band, at a bar!! Gotta say seeing bigger bands at smaller venues is the best. Hope that goes well. Well thanks again. Honestly didn't expect anyone here to mention it.

Feb 24, 2006 10:04 AM by: lMeRCiLeSSl

Thanx for the Long comment!

It is sand on his face, He has sand in his gord and he manipulates it to any form he want's (normally just for blocking peoples blows and making 'sand clones')

You really should start watching it if you like comedy/action/anime! It is one of my top three anime's right now, and I watch A LOT of anime!

I would be ever so flattered if you showed your chemistry teacher my hide mole! Thanks for your comment!

[hello! randomnly stopping by~!]

Feb 10, 2006 07:21 PM by: zakuman

Well I figured you'd have a better handle on color in general. Since you dabble with so many mediums. But if I had to give you tips on how to color with photoshop. Um, just a few tid bits of what I do. I always lower opacity colors. Like I'll do the base tones of a color with a 50% brush, and then ad shading with a 30% brush. Then I'll ad brown shading with something like a 5% brush. And just to be safe I always put the shading on different layers. And since the brush is at lower opacities... it acts like a marker. So you need to do things in like one stroke at a time. Which could be a pain with a mouse...

Ah well that's normally how I approach it. Hope what I said made sense. Okay well I just had a huge brain fart...and it's stinkin' up the room. So yeah, I guess I should go do something other than veging on the computer.

Feb 10, 2006 06:08 PM by: zakuman

Hey, always nice to hear from ya. Yeah, there's the good and bad to my cleaning up. But I think there's more good than bad. So yeah, in the end it's improvement.

Um, yeah... I could've have had a lady friend. But I tend to be real picky. Mmm lets see, she can't be too crazy, and she can't be too hoochie. Which tends to be asking too much. And I was hung up trying to get back with my ex-girlfriend. But that was solved... she a got a new boyfriend. Oops!

Heh, anyway don't wanna bore you with them stories. Well anyway, it's good to hear from you. You clearly seem to be under appreciated here. And for art whore like myself, that hurts me to see. But yeah, you do what you do cause you enjoy. Which is what I need to get back to.

Feb 2, 2006 02:00 AM by: Coronae

Thanks for teh comments! I use a tablet, it makes it so much easier. I hope you can get one soon (though your mouse work looks as if it were done with a tablet!).

Jan 23, 2006 12:22 PM by: Twinstar

Wow, thanks for the comment on my Snowstalker. I can't wait to see your entry. It should be real interesting since your trying to get it to fit two different contests. I quite envy your work. You have very nice colouring skills.
Well, good luck in the contest ^_^

Jan 20, 2006 04:03 PM by: Meisaroku

Sure no problem!!! ^_^

Jan 18, 2006 11:56 PM by: WizardoftheWood

Thank's for your comment. No particular reason why that character is missing an arm. I just wanted to make the picture stranger.

Jan 1, 2006 04:28 PM by: NEVERBENORMAL

oh now i know wat's a sumi brush...we call it chinese brush back in my country hehe^^(btw i'm from malaysia,a country with lots of cultures hehe^^)...and yeah,i have markers with the tip like the sumi brush...so it's much easier to pull a stroke cos the tip is harder and smoother...heh~*

Dec 19, 2005 02:14 PM by: Astronamymage

Ok what happened is that I messed up when looking at the dates, so I was going to do two winners. one new and one old. you were going to get the new picture winner award, but someone pointed out the mistake. I will still do a request for you if you want. It was my mistake, so there is no reason you should be punished for it.

Dec 18, 2005 06:59 PM by: NEVERBENORMAL

nope ^_^ its all up to you.

i like surprises ^_^

Dec 16, 2005 02:51 PM by: NEVERBENORMAL

ps: if you want anything from me just ask ^_^

Dec 12, 2005 03:16 PM by: AeroArtist

hi! please come and take a peek at my gallery if you don't have anything better to do! :D

PS- i LOVE the halloween costume!!!!

Nov 20, 2005 11:29 AM by: Brianhjh

Thank you for your comments, I should have replied earlier. I love your watercolor/acrylic paintings, you have a talent for dragons and landscapes. I see that you're like me ^^ you try out as many as mediums you possibly can instead just sticking to one medium that you know, kudos for that. :)

Nov 14, 2005 01:43 PM by: Broken_Wings_and_Black_Roses

thanx i haven't put up any of my really goods stuff yet but i'll get to it... EVENTUALLY! ^.^ lol! god i miss that show! especially totally kyle. why the hell did have to cancel it for? uhg. now i have a headache. >.< (big surprise there) laterz

hey, i sent you an e-mail pertaining to the contest prize you won. if you need me to resend it, please let me know.

Sep 13, 2005 12:53 PM by: zakuman

Well thanks for the comments. They're always appreciated. And you always have some good insight too. Yeah, at first I thought tentacle crap...was crap. And well, it's still not all that cool. But i had to give it a try. I prefer it over what is now popular in anime/manga. And that is the acursed dick girls. Those are flat out nasty.

Anyway, yeah I've got a handful of kosher projects (I just hope I can manage to finish them all). Long story short though... I just wanted to say thanks.

Aug 2, 2005 06:26 PM by: HoneyPossum

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! You totally made my day!!! Thank you so much for all of your nice comments!!

I do pride myself on my grammer, etc (even though I'm bad about not going back and reading it before I post it). ^-^

Viktor is actually based on my boyfriend. Wieeeeeeeeeeeeeerd. Maybe we're sharing a boyfriend. That would be funny (not really, but he would be in BIG trouble, mwahahaha, sorry).

And thanks for putting me on your favorite storie's list. That's super cool. Now I must go and swamp your images with comments because you are so awesome.

Jul 8, 2005 10:24 AM by: jubeistormiautumn

wow, thank you for the comments. ^^

Jun 15, 2005 11:04 AM by: Stratadrake

Yeah, a bit of fanart from time to time. Remember, though, that the first few drawings in my FAC gallery were technically fanart as well (though not CANON fanart, hehe...) .

What can I say about the negative technique? It takes a bit of skill with color mixing to choose the right shades (that is in part why I made two pics of the wolf, because I didn't get the colors right on the first one), and faith that you chose the right shades for inversion. Aside from that, standard color mixing techniques still apply.

Apr 6, 2005 06:36 PM by: nobodysangel

Mooooooosh!!! lol. it's your Sammi! *tackle*

Mar 28, 2005 08:59 AM by: DG-sama

I have your request! ^^ Sorry it took so long ^^;;

Geez... it's rather sad when some people just don't get comments. I'd comment more, but I'm up kinda late, and I've had quite the shitty day. But yeah, anyway. You're kinda leaving it wide open. I looked through your gallery to get some ideas... but your gallery is very varied. But if you have any ideas, just tell me. I'll drop you a note once I've started it. But I may not get to it until next weekend. Anyway, I need to get some much need shut-eye, so goodnight, and uh... I'll just back to you later,

Hey thanks for the comments. I would've said more on your pics but my internet is going dirt slow right now. Anyway thanks again.
