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!

Note: Check out the Cubby's sister world: The Otaku Fellowship by Aryia!!
If you are looking for tutorials on how to make wallies and ecards, please visit our friend Aria Sky's cool world The Ultimate Guide to Creating.
And if you're looking for a neat project to do, check out snow fox's Collaboration Nation!
And for additional awesome art tutorials, definitely check out ekaknr's Artist Cafe!

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 :)

Artist profile: IyamiNaHamusutaa

Hi! X3 I’m IyamiNaHamusutaa, but you can call me Iyami for short, or Sachi (my nickname) which ever is easier for you remember.

Country: U.S.
Age: 23

-Anime/Manga: Trigun, Beck, Strawberry Marshmallow, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Ouran High School Host Club, Welcome to the NHK, Natsume Yujin-cho, Yu Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Kyo Kara Maoh, Ghost Hunt, Gokusen, FLCL, Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist…and many many more XD

-Favorite Tools: Pencil, eraser XD, highlighters/colored markers, Sharpies, my AWESOME Pens of different sizes (LOVE THEM X3), Photoshop Elements 5.0, DigiPro (4”x3”) tablet

-About me: I was always encouraged to draw by my mom; she always had the house stocked with art supplies, so yeah, I’ve been drawing from a very early age. I started out drawing mostly animals, then in 5th grade, (in 1999, I was 10,) I found a Raichu figurine buried in the sand at school, and thus began my love of Pokemon, and my journey into the world of all things anime.

Thanky for letting my join this world (it’s the greatest idea for a world on TheO ever!!!)

Help Prevent Artist-Block!!!!! XD
