So =yami-caffeine tagged me to do this quiz, and I cannot break the chain of this meme without destroying the entire foundation of the internets. XD; (Plus it gives me something to do while my warrior travels along flight paths in Warcraft.)

"List ten things about your art, then tag ten people to do the same."

1. I am really uncomfortable showing my art off in real life. I suffer from extremely low self-esteem, and even if I someone is praising my stuff to my face I get really uncomfortable. So I think the only one who's really seen my art IRL is my sister ~NekoLuna.

2. I still haven't taken a figure drawing class where you draw nude models. I seriously need/want to. I hope to do so next semester.

3. I need to learn how to shade better and do that painterly digital style. Right now I do almost nothing but cel shading, and I only know enough to know that I don't know enough... >_>;

4. I have a short attention span. Many times I have intended to do a series of illustrations but never got more than one done. So it's pretty freaking amazing for me to have done TWO illustrations (1 and 2) in a series. (I'm working on the 3rd one too.)

5. This kind of ties into the last one. I seriously WANT to do a webcomic, since I have so many stories floating around in my head. I just don't have the energy or patience to really stick with it. <_<;

6. I love my original characters. Most of my art features my original characters, and almost all of them have intricate stories and histories surrounding them. (I've always wondered if more artists with original characters are like this, or if they just draw their D&D characters, or if they just design a random person and decide to draw it again...?)

7. I play with line weight in my art, but sadly I think most people can't see it since the art I display on the internet is zoomed out. But I can't help myself--I like to add little thicknesses to certain parts of my line art, even if I know no one is going to see it. I'm a perfectionist (and I get on my own nerves a lot: see #4 above).

8. I used to hate anime. Like, seriously, I thought the art style was bizarre. If I went back in time and told myself how much I'd love to draw it I probably would have laughed my past ass off. XD;

9. I hate art thieves, copiers, and pose-jackers. With a vengeance. They make me want to believe in God, and then hope that He's a vengeful son of a bitch. D<

10. I worship the well-built male torso and arms. You could probably tell, since I draw them so often. I wanna stroke the ripped abs of a hot dude just to see what they feel like. 8D;;

--------------

1. Honestly, what color is your bra (or undershorts if you're a boy)?
Most of them are white. I think I have one beige bra, and a gray sports bra that has been to Hell and back again. I realy think I've had it since I was 14 because I have intense difficulty finding comfortable bras.

2. Honestly, do you bite your nails?
No. I kind of click my pinky nail in between my front incisors, but I don't bite.

3. Honestly, what are you doing right now?
Ignoring WoW to write this quiz, with season 10 of South Park playing in the background (part one of "Cartoon Wars").

4. Honestly, do you think you are attractive?
I think I could be if I lost a bit more weight.

5. Honestly, have you done something bad today?
I don't think so, but when you work at a customer service job you can never be sure what will piss people off. D8

6. Honestly, do you watch Disney channel?
No.

7. Honestly, are you jealous of someone right now?
I'm envious of several artists on DA for being so incredibly awesome. And I'm a bit envious of my one sister for being so much more charismatic than me. She's not afraid of conflict IRL...

8. Honestly, what makes you happy most of the time?
Drawing, daydreaming about my original characters, and playing Warcraft occassionally.

9. Honestly, what’s on your mind?
I have to go to the bathroom. And I've had the acoustic version of Radiohead's "Creep" in my head for a day or two because I just heard it for the first time and decided it's the theme song of my poor demon character Sam. 8D;

10. Honestly, do you want to see someone this very minute?
Um. A hot nekkid dude? I dunno. I tend to isolate myself from other people IRL... >_>;

11. Honestly, when is the last time you went to Taco Bell?
A couple weeks ago, probably. I don't usually eat out because it gets expensive and I am poor.

12. Honestly, are you in denial?
I dunno. I'm a writer and artist, and it's part of my nature to design people, so I tend to be introspective. I'm aware of my hypocrisies, even if I'm not proud of them or can't change them. (Heh. Am I in denial about being in denial?)

13. Honestly, where would you rather be right now?
The restroom? Having graduated from college by now and gotten a decent job? Both work.

14. Honestly, do you like someone?
No, not really. I haven't had a real crush on anyone since I was about 15 (man, that boy was a hottie...).

--------------

Anger Section

1. What do you do when you're mad?
I usually seethe quietly so it festers internally, but if I'm mad at my siblings I will yell at them.

2. Ever made anyone cry when you were mad?
Once or twice. Probably more. |P

3. Do you swear when you're mad?
OH yeah. XD;

--------------

Crying Section

1. When was the last time you REALLY cried your heart out?
A couple of weeks ago when I had a panic attack.

2. When was the last time you cried yourself to sleep?
See #1 above.

3. Do you still cry when you get an injury?
No.

4. What usually makes you cry?
Panic attacks?

--------------

Happy Section

1. Are you usually a happy person?
Um. I'm not emo, but I'm clinically depressed, so it brings me down occassionally, so at most I'll usually be only "so-so": I won't be happy, but I won't be super-sad.

2. What can make you happy?
Getting commissons? 8D; 'Cause it means people like my art enough to pay me for it. Apart from that, I love getting gift artwork of my characters from other people. It thrills me. X3

3. Does being with your friends make you happy?
I'm sure it would if I had any...

--------------

Self-Esteem Section

1. Do you believe in yourself?
No. I'm constantly second-guessing myself. I have no self-confidence.

2. When people say they think you are good looking/pretty, do you agree?
It doesn't happen that often, and it usually makes me pretty embarrassed. So no, probably not.

3. Are you one of those people that thinks they are ugly?
Well, my face is pretty. It's the rest of my body I hate.

--------------

dA Section

1. Why did you join dA?
To flame an overrated but crappy popular artist. (No, it wasn't who you think it is, because at the time I didn't know about her yet.) XD; I like to think I've matured beyond that, though...

2. Are you addicted to deviantART?
Well, I'm kind of addicted to my computer, so whenever I'm on I check DA several times a night to see if I got any new comments...

3. What type of people were you hoping to meet?
I don't know. I joined for the wrong reasons initially. 8D;;

4. Are you looking for love on dA?
A little. I like thoughtful comments a bit more than favorites. I'd like to see the hard work I put into my original art acknowledged, as opposed to that fucking GOD DAMN "Yaoi Sucks" doodle I did ages ago that is one of the only things that gets me attention. DX

5. What do you think of the person that tagged you with this evil survey?
Damn you, Orca!! XD; Nah, really, I lurve Orca.

6. Who do you tag?
Um. My sister ~NekoLuna and =raerae, and anyone else who wants to do it, I guess. Or whomever read through all those lines of me ripping on myself. XD;
