With dynamic poses just remember to keep the realism that you are implementing so well :)
Pictures are great to use for references!

Oh that's cool :) I'm not entirely sure what game design means. So, is game design involving the mechanics of the game or just the general design?

Yeyyyy :D I feel encouraged hehe thanks <3

I'll try. ^^;
My quest for a consistent artstyle is far from over!

Well, game design does involve the mechanics and all of that. Usually also has a hand in the overall feel of the game. However, in addition to that, I do want to work as an illustrator, making character designs and such. But, that's a dream for another day. :)

No prob. :3

haha same here! I have a realistic one and a non-realistic one which are so incredibly different from each other.

hmmm do you happen to have a DA?
A lot of publishers hunt for illustrators using that site.

Well, I do...but I prefer to keep it separate, for personal reasons. <_<

I do use a pixiv account in the meantime.

Oh, huh. I mean, I usually have a lot of RP DA accounts plus my main account where I write my comic book.

Maybe you could always submit something to a journal. It'd be easier if you wanted to write because in that case I could actually help XD

What is pixiv? I know a lot of people that use it.

Yeah, writing is something I'd like to try and improve on as well (especially since English isn't my first language), but that's for another time. ^^;

Pixiv...well, I'm not sure if this description's correct, but it's kinda like dA, but Japanese. There is an English option, though.

English also isn't my second language :)

I'm a novelist, but still rather amateur.

That's pretty neat! Is it like the new DA layout or the old?

Um...I think I'll say "neither". It's got its own layout, but unfortunately, due to the language barrier, I haven't been able to explore more than the basics (profile, upload, search), so I don't use it as much as dA or posting to forums.

It's still pretty neat, though; even some official artists for anime, manga and games have accounts there, if you know where to look.

Just like in dA! XD

Ohhhh okay. I guess I should check it out hehe

Ah, that sounds really awesome! I love stalking the comic book artists on DA and I'm sure I'll enjoy manga artists as well.
Do you like anime?

And hahaha exactly!!:D

I've found a few mostly by snooping around and from outside sources. Still, language barrier, so...kinda difficult to actually look for them without the outside sources. ^^;

I do like anime. :)
I watch a couple of shows per season, depending on what sounds interesting or fun. I do tend to avoid the long-runners, though, because I'll never have enough time to catch up. ^^;

ah, that's true, but at least you found them!

Reeeeally?! What's your favorite anime??
Yeah, I mostly avoid long runners too. That's why I never got into Bleach or Naruto or One Piece.

Hmmm...that's a difficult question...
I mean, I tend to really like one anime per season, or even per year. So it's difficult saying which one I liked the most. Some of my personal favorites include Fullmetal Alchemist, Madoka Magica, Kill la Kill, Binbougami ga, amongst others.

Kill la Kill and Fullmetal are awesome!
Have you ever seen Future Diary or Deadman Wonderland?
Or even Higurashi no naku koro ni?

Well, I haven't seen them, but I know about them (Future Diary and Higurashi mostly. Especially the former, since a friend of mine is such a fan of that series XD)

oh god Yuno Gasai is one of my favorite characters of all time. I'm a sap for the crazies.
That's also why I like Deadman Wonderland :)

I can't really speak for my friend, but guessing by the drawing of Yuno hanging at the club office and given his liking for the show, I'm assuming he likes her as well. :D

She's absolutely awesome.
A lot of people are hardcore against her or Yukii or both.
I dislike Yukii, but again, I'm a sap for the crazies.

Well, each to their own. I unfortunately can't give my own opinion of the matter, but from what I've seen, I don't think I'd hate her (then again, I rarely hate a character.)

What is your favorite character type?

Honestly, I can't really say...I don't usually go handpicking characters by archetype; I simply watch a show, and I tend to like certain characters more depending on the situation (or in some cases, design).
