Likes: Anime, Manga, friendly people, inspiration, fantasy games like Final Fantasy, RPGs, blogging, talking randomly, talking more seriously, making up funny quotes. Manga/anime drawers, MSN talks, telling people about manga/anime plots, even if without spoilers, using emoticons like xD, etc.
Dislikes: Conceited people, people acting thinking of something without being sure of it (Like misunderstanding what I say and don't double checking what I meant), art thiefs (I can draw for you in a different style and give you the drawing if you want, you don't need to steal my art), people who overimpose their though over others, and most of all, people who have a short memory, so when you tell them something, they start to say that thing, and later on they forget it was you that taught them that and the claim authorship... ARGH!. Bad drawing CGing (When it has those old-school eye-hurting effects), among others
Hobbies: Drawing, writing, resolving math equasions, playing videogames, making universes and stories to transform into games/texts/books, all that stuff
[edit] Manga/Anime Interests
[edit] Introduction
About manga/anime, the things I most admire are art quality and story. For example, Naruto might be comic and stuff, but I can't stand it. Sorry. Same for FMP. About Black Cat, Trinity Blood, all of those, that's what I like. They have a very good plot, they have lots of "important" stuff, many complicated nomenclatures and all that, but they keep their simplicity and humor. That's why I consume almost all my bandwith downloading Black Cat eps xD.
Characters are also one of the things that most "suck me in" into animes. I really like the characters because, in my opinion, they're, together with the environment, what we most like in the anime (In what concerns graphical terms, of course. Well, thinking twice, is there anything else besides characters and landscape in anime/manga? xDDDDD (Yeah, weapons. But weapons are used by characters xD). Whatever. I'll stick to it this way =P)

[edit] Drawing
I love to draw. Like I tend to like the visual element of Anime and Manga, I also tend not just to see nice pics, but also create them. Nowadays, I haven't been creating many stuff, not as much as I have in the past, but I'm gonna try to get back on track soon. My love for drawing is mostly a product of what I stated somewhere above, that I really love not just to watch, but to create. Most of the times, you tend to think your art isn't as good as the famous mangakas', but you might like to think as me: If you create something based on something good, you get something good. So, if I draw something Kentaro Yabuki-styled that comes out like him, it's good. And when I say this, you have to have in mind two things:
- First, when I saw "something good", it's what you think it's good. Even though I like Black Cat, you might not like (Even though you need to be very "deviant" not to like Black Cat =P). So, if you, for example, think Naruto's style is good, then it's inserted in what you consider "good". Whatever.
- Second, and most important. When I say "draw in the mangaka's style", I don't mean what it sounds in the first place. I don't mean like "draw something that looks like what he draws". Nope. What I mean is to draw exactly like him. But, if you drew the same characters, you would be drawing exactly his art style. So, draw different characters. If you draw the same exact eyes of a character, you know how to do it, and repeat the process to more eyes. When you know how to draw all styles of eyes, all styles of hairs, all styles of faces and all that, you'll be a perfect replica of the mangaka, and you can draw different characters like if you were him. And you might ask "Hey, that's copying the author, not drawing". Right you are, but who said we'd stop at this point? After you capture the "essence" of various authors, you can, instead of switching between styles, create new styles based on the mangakas' styles. It's like a bigger version of fanart, only know you know exactly what to improve, what the mangaka draws good and bad on your opinion, you can mix art styles, everything! Then you're set. If you have the inspiration to draw good things, then you'll be a perfect drawer. Simple.
[edit] Writing
I like to write a lot. Most of the time, I don't feel like drawing, but writing, not because I'm more tempted to write, but because of one thing: When you write, you tend to deviate from the original idea. Remember what I said about drawing? What if you see a random pic on a manga imageboard and decide that it would fit so good in a certain universe, this and that, this and that? You're better developing a story than just making a drawing, that's for sure. If you have the "power of words" and know the moethods to keep the reader reading, then you can edit that stuff and gain money. Although you shouldn't do this for the money =P

[edit] Transforming Stuff
This is one of the things I'm addicted to. I like to mix up things and transform them. Most of the time, I pick simple things like RPG sprites (I used to do it with Pokemon sprites), and mix them up in order to create stronger monsters or weapons or things of the like. Apart from mixing up sprites, I also like to "clean up" details in them I don't like, or "upgrade" them by adding interesting details
[edit] Creating Universes
This is what I like doing most of the time. You know, when you write a book, or create a game, or even smaller productions? I like to create projects, without defining any use for them, as in transforming them into books or games or whatever. I just write about the environment, or draw fanart, or things of the like, in other words, create the universe. Most of the time, when you define what are you going to use the project for, you kind of lose a part of the inspiration (For example, if you start planning on making a book out of a project, you'll hardly care for the visual part and instead focus much more on the writing part, naturally. So, I just like to "create". Not write, or draw, anything in specific. Whatever comes into mind xD
