Where do I go from here?

Right, I've changed everything to my preference it seems :) I'll start posting some art now.

Right, for those of you who don't know me (and therefore I haven't the foggiest why on earth you're looking at this) my name is D (Please call me Diction or D, Lisa is reserved for family and very close friends only.) and I suppose I've been drawing as long as I could hold a pencil (Well, that's a lie - I still hold my pencil wrong. Bah, I'm backwards, leave me alone) and have always been very interested in cartooning.

I started on anime artwork at around the age of 12 after having a very love-hate relationship with the (badly dubbed) anime Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon and started my love of the style - to which I branched off to other animes that have greatly influenced my art style such as Escaflowne or Fushigi Yuugi.

I don't really tend to watch much anime or read much manga anymore, though I am hoping to write my own when I get off my ass and actually do it.

I don't have any real formal training with art - not even a life drawing class. I think that has to do with my sheer loathing of art classes. I went to an art academy of sorts to broaden my artwork, which only seemed to make me hate art and I stopped drawing for a year or so until I got my confidence back.

Nowadays I tend to work mostly on an online pet adoptable on PI known as Lupines, which is my original art from years ago now. I have -greatly- improved my wolf artwork from then, as I had only been drawing canines properly about a few months before Glor and I started the project.

Anyway, let's stop talking about all the past crap as I'm probably boring you shitless if you even managed to get this far. I'm always rubbish on these because I can never work out if I've left something out or if I've written too much. I'm one of those 'get on a train' sort of people.

Right, onto art. I will probably add everything somewhere at some point, but for any previous artwork I've done that I've been bothered to upload is on my DA Account. So yeah, go look if you want.

Title: In this Time

Medium: Photoshop CS
Time taken: Aprox. 24 hours over 2 months.
Subjects: Kouji (Qilin and demon form)
More: Kouji is one of Glor's characters and one of the characters in my manga. I am rather pleased with how the qilin came out, as I am not really good with that sort of anatomy. The cogs were a pain in the ass, I spent 8 hours just doing cogs

Details:

Those cogs were all done by hand, I am quite pleased since I'm so rubbish with metals and... technical things.

Anyway! That's all from me today :D Cheers!
