Introduce Yourself! - Page 7

PencilCat · 05-17-2012, 11:30 PM

Signed up a while ago, but I figured I should stop being a lurker and introduce myself :>

Name: Maarta Laiho

Location: Recently Seattle WA, though I'm originally from Maine

Skill Interests: Pencils, Inks, Colors, Illustrations/Covers

Current Womanthology Contributor? Hopefully for SPACE? ;D

Tell us about yourself! - I'm a alum from SCAD with a degree in Sequential Art currently working as a freelance artist. I am the creator of the webcomic MadWillow (which is on a hiatus at the moment but will resume). When I'm not drawing, I'm being a nerd (movies, videogames, comics) and chasing down my chinchilla who has escaped again.

Goal in Comics: Currently to finish and print my webcomic MadWillow. Beyond that, keep on creating and being successful at it

Hello everyone! I've also been lurking for a bit but finally decided to poke into the forum a little.

Name: Dawn Davis

Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Skill Interests: Colouring, Writing (mostly!)

Current Womanthology Contributor? Not yet!

Tell us about yourself! Hello! I'm a recent university graduate that has been having trouble finding work - so I've turned to art instead! I have an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies and a minor in Creative Writing. I did my undergrad thesis on video games as an ethical playing field. I hope to go back someday! But even during school I always had art to fall back on and rely on.

Goal in Comics: To create beautiful stories that really mean things to people.

Location: Bavaria

Skill Interests: Pencilling, Inking, Colouring

Current Womanthology Contributor? not yet

Tell us about yourself! Studied graphic design, did nothing but fine art, illustration, modelizing and photography. I love all kind and styles of comics and also good design and architecture. Traveling, meeting other creative cool people, joining art projects and workshops is what I enjoy most. ^0^

I am also a lurker around here though I haven't had an account for long. I also am not quite sure if this is where I should start, but I figured it was worth a try.
Name: Renee C
Location: Virginia, USA
Skill Interests: Mostly Pencils because that is what I have the most experience with. But I'm always eager to expand my knowledge base. I just would like to make sure my foundation is solid before building on it. Though most of my experience is in pin-ups and sketches, I would very much like to get into sequential art. I've been working on trying my hand at it myself, and am hoping to peruse the boards here to pick up some pointers...
Current Womanthology Contributer: No.
Tell Us About Yourself: I'm a computer scientist by day and, like many here, am a gamer, comic book enthusiast, artist, and avid reader by night. As you can tell, that doesn't leave much room for sleep. Also a trait I'm certain many share.
Goal in Comics: Honestly? I'd just love to be published. Drawing may be a passion but it's been on a back-burner and I can't really say I have any lofty goal because I'm not that special. But as long as I bring enjoyment to one person, I'm happy.

Kiri · 07-20-2012, 10:53 AM

Name: Kiri Callaghan

Location: Seattle, Wa

Skill Interests: Writing

Current Womanthology Contributor? Nope, I'm just a hopeful right now.

Tell us about yourself! - I self-identify as a bard. I write, I sing, I act, I direct, I'm a super* amateur costume and clothing designer...
(*see n00b)

I love cupcakes and am coming to grips with a gluten & dairy intolerance (The dairy is getting better though!).

At the end of 2011, I made a leap of faith into self-publishing on Amazon and have been loving every minute of it!

Jedi, Muppet and Delusionist. Also, I love shoes.

Goal in Comics: I'm passionate about creating stories and characters that people--especially women/girls--can relate to. I think that's the initial reason I fell so entirely in love with this project in the first place.

Website: http://kiricallaghan.com. (All other web presences listed there)

Example of Work: This scene was a submission to Great American Short Screenplay Contest. It won a scholarship but I still didn't have enough money to attend the program. XD Was still fun though!

...ooof, I think I talked too much.

Skill Interests: Penciling, inking, digital art, comics.... lots!

Current Womanthology Contributor? (Heroic, Sketchbook, Holiday PDF): Nope, but I can hope!!

Tell us about yourself! - I'm a comic junkie with a sweet tooth. I love to collect various toys and figures, from action figures to Monster High dolls to Japanese gashapon!I have a bad habit of eating fast food late at night and watching scary movies before bedtime. I'll be pursuing a degree in animation beginning this Fall.

Goal in Comics: To create my own comics and share the stories and worlds I've been hoarding in my head! I also hope to give hope to anyone looking to get into comics and the arts just as my idols have for me.

Ugh those critters are too cute!! Can't ... look ... away!!!

Chinchillas are nice too I guess ... they're just so dang evil! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a-qB9pqHHc

Such beautiful work here, very impressive. Great job on the Red Sonja Renae De Liz, she just looks so intense. You have a beautiful name by the way.

Awesome Boar ride heartofglitter! Horses, bah, who needs them!

Incredible dragon Tanja! Only things in the lake around my house are Ducks ... least I think they're Ducks. They spend so much time with their heads underwater all I ever see are their butts. I still think they're just mooning me.

Love the colors on your foxy heroine KillerStella. (In best psycho killer voice) What's your favorite scary movie ... cough, cough!! How the ... hell did they do the voice in Scream?

Sorry for crashing the party ladies. I just felt like I needed to say hi and thanks for all the great eye candy. My eyes belch in your honor.

Signed up but need to introduce myself!

Name: Arwen de Lyon

Location: Raleigh, North Carolina

Skill Interests: Pencil and drawing, watercolor, writing.

Current Womanthology Contributor? Not yet, but hopefully!

Tell us about yourself! - I'm an aspiring professional science fiction and fantasy artist. I got my BFA and have since continued educating myself in figure drawing, watercolor, writing, and comic book creation (especially layout and drawing). I've shown my art at a number of galleries and shows in North Carolina and eastern US, and sell my own prints and designs online.

I have just finished writing the storyline for my own sixteen chapter comic book series and am now working on the dummy (and finished art!) for the first chapter.

Goal in Comics: Currently to publish my first comic book series, and have the opportunity to illustrate other comic books and tell a great story through beautiful art and a creative approach to comic art and layout.

heheh, thanks, Sage!! <3

I watch a lot of terrible scary movies that win my heart over very easily, but my top two serious choices would have to be the original Paranormal Activity and Sion Sono's Cold Fish. (:
