I got tagged by :iconhecateslight: and it’s one of the few I was considering doing anyways, so thank you for that. :)

The rules
1. Post these rules in your journal.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 facts of themselves.
3. Tagged people should write a journal/blog about these facts.
4. In the end, tag and name 8 people.
5. Go to their dA pages and comment saying that they are tagged!


the facts:
1. I used to own a Sega Saturn when I was a kid, and a lot of my drawing-style is influenced by the games I played on it back then. :)
2. I own two ferrets. Everybody who love kittens, but would prefer that they stay kittens forever should seriously consider ferrets.
3. My favourite colour is green, which is not at all obvious by looking at my gallery, my clothing or choice of interior design. But it is. :)
4. I can’t seem to cope with living away from nature. I need trees. This might be connected with fact # 3.
5. I usually listen three or four bands when I colour these days: Rammstein, In Extremo, Schelmish, and Gogol Bordello. They can keep me going for hours. :) If I don't listen to this, I usually listen to audio books (Terry Pratchett's Discworld-books, although they're best on paper, but it is still hillarious!).
6. I’m a great dancer.
7. I have really pretty eyes. Nope, skratch that. Beautiful!
8. I usually always smile. There’s a reason for this, though: Few people are so lucky as I am, to have such a wonderful husband, such great (self-adopted) family and such great friends. :) I love you all.

And I'm not gonna tag anyone. ;) But do it if you feel like it. :D


In other news, I decided to join :iconthe-warcraft-legion: They seem like such a cozy club. :)


The pillowfight.

If you’re new to the concept, let me just quickly run through the basis. :D It’s a silly game me and :iconcorax333: started, where one artist draw one round, then sends the "pillow" back or on to another.

The game goes like this:

1. At the end of each round, there'll be three contestants to choose from. We'll probably expand on that, so you'll be able to get a better idea of who'll be the challenger.

2. You can cheer on the challenger or the champion. We DO listen to your comments, and if there is a general idea that a given character ought to win, then we'll need a damned good excuse to make it otherwise!

3.You can suggest how the person you want to win will win. We've sketched up some rules, but seriously, almost anything goes. ;) And even if it doesn't, then that could be fun too.

Remember, that the more you guys decides, the more of a challenge it'll be for us, and the more we'll learn from it. ;)

Free sketches!
In other news, inspired by my lovely, selfadopted kid-bro :iconskyen: I've decided to do the Free Sketches game/challenge too.

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free.

In your comment, give me a reference-pic or a description of what you want. It's easier if I don't have to work just on "free creativity", because as every artist knows, whenever you're told to do whatever you want, you can't think of a damn thing to do.

1.:iconkitalda: Something silly from an RPG-session. - Begun.
2.:iconwarlordvir: Slayers gang encountering and activating the Shadow Mirror. - Done! [link]
3.:icongwennafran: One of her wonderful characters (I get to pick.)- Done! [link]
4.:iconzerosevendk: Avatar fanart (Suggested either Toph or Sokka)
5.:iconskyen: one of his characters from one of his still ongoing webcomics.([link]). Hmm. Decisions. Decisions. :D
6.:iconlupusgrey: D&D character. Dragon guy.
7.:iconseimar:
8.:iconhunttrist: with her lovely little Draenei pally, Keelala.
9.:iconodeena: WoW villian in an embarrasing situation.
10.:iconhecateslight: OC Hecate.

Remember that this is only sketches. ;) Nothing too complicated, and no inks or colours, unless something turns extremly well out. But this'll challenge me to draw something I wouldn't usually, characters that aren't mine, for instance.
Also, be patient. I'm a lazy ass. ;)

Whut does self-adopted mean? :iconconfusedplz:

--
Straddle the line.
:iconthemadbatter:
*giggles* It is a silly word. It means that I adopted him myself, since I have no blood-related brothers or sisters. I consider him as much a part of my family as any bloodrelation. :) But no, he's not adopted as in a legal sense. :)

:iconabiela:
I just wanted to ask you - how did you learn to draw and color like that? Your work amazes me!
:iconthemadbatter:
Why thank you. ^__^
Well, I learn by watching other peoples stuff. :) I see how they do things, how they made this or that effect, and I LOVE tutorials.
I've decided to make my own, which'll be up soon, I hope. :iconcorax333: has taught me most of what I know about Photoshop, and I'm expanding on that every day, in a small way.
But other than that, I'm completely auto-didact when it comes to drawing.
Getting on pages like DA really helps, though. It gives you the motivation to keep on getting better, even if you never plan to do anything professional about it. :)
I see you write. I liked the "Once upon a Galaxy" poem, but I think you might want to redo it, and make it into several poems. Although it's pretty impressive to capture everything in one poem, I think it would work really well as a series of poems, with that common title. ;)
When you can write 8 verses (is it called that in English?) from Everything, imagine what you could create from something smaller. ;) As I'm sure you know, even a grain of sand is an entire universe in itself, and probably worth a stanza or two. ;)
But interesting work. Don't let your fear control you. ;) Put up some more. ^__^

Thanks! I'm excited for your tutorial, then! I'll be sure to check it out!
And thanks for the feedback! That's a good idea! Really, I thought no one would read those, so I didn't consider it too much XD I like to draw as well, but I can't color or photoshop, and I lack a scanner, so you can see how that works out O.o
I agree about DA, everyone's work is so beautiful! It's easy to get the urge to create on here. I love how it accepts all art types, as well.
Anywho, keep up the great work! It's beautiful, as mentioned earlier :D
:iconadriusfrostglare:
Can't believe I forgot to put you on Deviant Watch...
:iconthemadbatter:
Well, it's not like I was in any doubt that you followed the sporadic update of my art. But anyways; thanks for adding me, anyways. :)
