Hi everyone!

If you're reading this, you've probably found me in the last few weeks since my return. So I'd like to thank you all for a start.
It's nearing twelwe years since I joined this site but until recently I had been gone for about five. Unfortunately it seems like almost everyone from those days has disappeared. Let me know if you're still here!

So far I've mostly uploaded pieces that I've completed while I was gone, though some have been updated in one way or another. I mostly work with traditional art and pixel art and that's what you can expect in the future as well.

I've also found some interesting artists to watch myself and I'm curious to see what you'll create in the future.

As for a quick update on life I'm planning to finish my studies this fall. I was also recently asked to do some pixel art for a couple of games and that has been my first professional work as an artist.

Oh and let me hear your E3 wishes!

Some thoughts

3 min read
Throughout the years, I've been trying out different media in creating art. And I've realized that whatever I tried out, I always ended up with one of these pencils in my hand. I must say that I don't really enjoy working digitally. Well, with a big exception for pixel art.

Thing is, I'm not really a painter either. Painting is fun, but I don't find myself very good at it. Which left me there with boring black & white drawings for ages. But now, a bunch of Copic markers moved into my second drawer, and I've finally begun coloring my drawings. My tablet? Serves me when I'm doodling on MSN. :D Right now, it's resting at the top of my archive box.

In a few months, it's time to apply for university or university college. But it's hard to find an art education that really fits me. The only school which has its focus on drawing is located on the other side of the country. And I don't feel like moving. So I'll apply to educations like art, design, advertising and computer game development. I hope my artistic skills won't be too narrow. I'm also thinking of history and Japanese (full time) at Stockholm University. Well, I'm sure it will turn out fine in some way.


I've been putting photos of the progress of my school art project in the scraps for sometime now. The sketch is now completely done (unlike my latest update shows) and I've begun inking. Next time I update will be once I'm finished. The deadline isn't until march, but there is a good chance I'll be done before the end of the month. Other than that, I have a few other drawings coming up as well.


Last but not least I want to recommend a group for any user of Copic markers out there. It's a very helpful group and me and a bunch of other members will answer your questions. Also have a look at the new contest!

Hello.

I've been working a lot on a website lately. I'm creating all graphics myself, so it takes some time. Especially since  HTML and CSS isn't really my strong suit. But I hope I'll be able to work the problems out, eventually. And yep-yep, some strange bugs are to be found.
fire-emblem.se

I'm also working on a custom sidebar clock for Windows Vista/7. It's almost done, so I'll put it here any day now. It's supposed to look like the pocket watch from Chrono Crusade, in pixels.

I'm also sketching on a huge drawing, for a school project. I will take photos every now and then, so you can watch the progress. Take a look in the scrapbook.

Hey people. Here I am! You may wonder what happened to me, or you didn't notice I was gone at all. Anyway, I wasn't stuck under my bed or something silly as that. I was simply out of time, in the middle of thousands of projects. Like studying, website building, working part time and so on. Or I was lazy.

So, I kept coming back through the years and I didn't bring much to show you anyway. This time I submitted two pieces. Nothing spectacular though, just a few hours work. But hopefully I'll add more stuff.

I have a huge A2 drawing coming up, meant for :iconelync: It was supposed to be finished a whole year ago. Woah, I'm slow. Anyway, I hope you'll like it!

I'll try to take my time to look around, because I haven't been watching and commenting your stuff either. A few of you know the power of my "comment cannon", I hope it's not too rusty.

Story by :iconxob-89: Wow, that's cool!
Art by :iconemblemdefender: Hey! That's me!

The story:
Annie is a young girl who has to take her father's sword and place after his death in a very old fashioned army for it's time. She meets the always so cheerful David and the fumbling swordmaster Cole. They are all beginners in their own way, Annie and David in the army and Cole as a master in swords. They are meeting many different personalities from the different classes of weapons in the army and outside it. They are all hoping that this might of war is never to be used...

Some important characters:
Annie, based on :icononigiri999:
The main character
David, somewhat based on :iconemblemdefender:
Classmate
Cole, somewhat based on :iconxob-89:
Master

The manga will be seen on www.daisuki.se in the future, in Swedish. And we'll put a translation in pure text here.

And as you maybe have noticed I'm more active here since I begun making this manga, and I will continue submitting more stuff here! Except in a four week long period when I'll be on Mallorca on vacation.


Oh, and I'll try to comment YOUR stuff more than before. Since the summer is here and everything!
