Artist Cubby

WORLD WILL BE RECEIVING A RENO-JOB AS SOON AS TIME ALLOWS! Thankyou for your support and patience!

Hello and welcome to MangaKid and Ikemarth's Artist Cubby!
We hope you all enjoy your time here!

This is a world Ikemarth and I have created after our dear friend Angel Satina gave us this great idea! We wanted to create a place for artists to share their methods, experiences, tips/advice, ect. Its like a club in a community where artist friends can join even closer together^^ We will be posting anything such as our own step-by-step process of creating art, tutorials, art notices/progress, cool artistic videos, before and after pics of artwork, and simple tips as well as answer any questions that you post or have! We hope everyone, including us, will learn new artistic ways and become even more creative together as we experience each others' style. For new artists, we hope to help inspire you and motivate you to continue drawing!

If you have any questions, feel free to PM MangaKid or Ikemarth! We are accepting guest posters, if you feel that you'd like to join and share your tips with the Otaku!

Rules+Guidlines: -Nothing inapropriate.
-We'd like you all to shorten your posts to new pages but you DO NOT have to shorten your profiles. Please post your profiles normally. We want the other posts to be shortened though as it'll be a lot more organized that way.
-You can post a chibi at the top of your posts if you'd like, but please make sure its small (approx. 300x300 pixels. A bit bigger then that is alright too.)
-No putting down anyone or making them feel uncomfortable (of course, we're all good friends here so I don't think we need to worry about this^^)
-If you join, you are not obligated to post (even though we'd LOVE to see posts from ya!). Feel free to post anytime or not post at all. The main thing is if you enjoy the club, learn new things, and make new friends :)

Hello Friends and Otakus! ♥
I saw this world all thanks to Mangakid who's a very good friend to me and i am so glad to be able to take part in this world (i'm so sorry that it took me forever to even post my profile since i've been so busy). Most people on here who know me call me Rose, not hackerblackrose which i based it on from .hack//sign :D

~Country: United States
~Current age: 20

~Anime/Mange: Fruits basket, Cardcaptor sakura, chobits, LIFE, Vitamin, Limit, Kitchen Princess, Sailor Moon, Magic Knight rayearth, Magic Knight rayearth II, Nana, Clover, Hidamari Sketch (sunshine sketch), Instant Teen, Yume Kira Dream shoppe, Aishiteruze Baby, me and my brothers, Kamikaze Katio Jeanne, Hibiki's magic, Alice 19th, Missing Kamikushi No Monogatari, Pichi Pichi Pitch Mermaid Melody, Songs to make you smile, Tokyo Mew Mew, Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode, Time stranger kyoko, FLCL (fooly cooly), .hack//legend of the twilight, Pixie pop, Confidential confessions, Imadoki nowdays, pita ten, I.O.N, AIR, Clannad, Air gear, Princess Ai, Futari Ecchi (warning this is for more mature people), Kyou Koi wo Hagimemasu, Honey x Honey Drops, Dear school Gang Leader, and that's pretty much it these are mainly manga books that i have read, the LIFE one has a real acton drama that i have watched before which was really good but not as long as the manga is.

~Favorite Genres: Romance, Drama, Comedy, ecchi, shoujo, shonen, it's more on the romance/ love with drama maybe some ecchi that i prefer more to read but i do like some action, i really love the magical girl genre too.

~Video games: Soul Calibur series, Dead or alive series, Catherine, Tales of series, Mortal Kombat, Mario Kart, Mario Party series, Sims 3, Legend of Zelda games, pokemon series, Harvest moon, and i think that's pretty much it i do like to play video games but right now i don't have the free time to play them.

~Art style: Usually i do traditional work, sometimes i will color in photoshop and usually i do an anime style and i do realism too i switch from back and forth with the two styles because i can get bored if i do them all the time.

~Favorite tools: I love my pencils that's the best media i am good at, i always need a pencil for any project. i do like the use of pen and color pencils too :) and photoshop is growing onto me i'm actually taking a class right now for it to learn more :) I do like to use paints and watercolors but i haven't had time to paint something.

~ About me: I've been drawing since the 3 grade now from the beginning of pokemon and yu-gi-oh cards. But i have advanced greatly especially in High school my skill level increased so much since i took art classes. I understand how to put a piece of art work together and i learn the basics of art and it just helped me out to improve my skill levels my ideas and compositions. I started out with anime/manga but my teacher challenged me to get into realism and as you can tell i can do that too if you look in my artwork on here. I really love art and people who are getting into it should be passionate about it and never give up on it because than you will have a beautiful talent, sometimes i can't believe the drawings that i drew sometimes because i improved so much. I'm a really happy go lucky girl, i guess you can say i am a girly girl sometimes and i can be lazy! XD I like theotaku this is my main website for artwork since it is a very fun loving community and i just love it here. I hope to get to know more of you guys on here. That's really it about me :) ♥ I'm sorry if this is long to read but thank you for taking your time to read my lovely profile ♥

Hey Otakus!
Thankyou for visiting our Artist Cubby! I'm MangaKid aka Jen-chan and I'm very excited to start off this world with my good friend Ike! I hope it will be as much fun for you as it will be for us!
Alright, here's a little bit about me so you can get to know me better!

-Country: Canada
-Current Age (Jan 2012): 18

-Anime/Manga (the ever-growing list xD): Bakuman, Prince of Tennis, Whistle!, Crimson Hero, Dengeki Daisy, Maximum Ride, Eyeshield 21, Yotsuba, Kuroshituji, Wolf's Rain, Fruits Basket, Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Clannad, Hetalia, Ouran HSHC, Nana, MAJOR, Enigma, Studio Ghibli films, Special A, Beast Master, ToraDora, Genkaku Picasso, Tiger&Bunny, Mars, Highschool Debut, Cutie Boy, various shoujo one-shots, Summer Wars, Black Bird, Hana-Kimi, Go Ahead!, Gokusen,
-Favourite Genres: Sports, Romance, Drama, Comedy
-Video Games: Ocarina of Time 3D, Nintendogs, Super Mario, Mario Kart, old retro games x3

-Art Style: Traditional
-Favourite Tools: Copic Markers, Micron sakura pens, .5 mechanical pencil
And I like to try a little bit of everything: paints, coloured pencils, fabric paints, even digital (though I'm not good at it yet xD)

-About Me: Well I think I've always liked creating art since my mom used to be a graphic designer^^ In school, I liked to be as creative as I could but I never got into manga till the beginning of last summer. I used to like the style, but I never stuck with it long enough to learn anything. I couldn't even draw people. I was scared to try so I just stuck with realistic animal drawings. Last summer, I worked really hard on learning anime style though.A lot of good things happened to me: I started reading manga, I bought myself Copic markers, and I stumbled across theO while looking at fan arts. I'm really glad I joined theO as I've learnt a lot already and my confidencd has really been boosted by all your feedback and friendship! Thankyou^^ I think one day I'd like to learn more digital artwork and buy myself a tablet, but for now I just want to keep improving and experimenting with traditional :)
