Its been a long time since I've been on ESPS, so I'm trying to get a feel for the community again. I think *clears throat* I see some of the members are Deviant artists. Am I correct?
Regardless, I want this thread to be a "chatty" one. No particular topic in mind other than your creative interests, so feel free to enjoy, express, share tips, projects, what art you like, ect.

I thought at first that this thread would be about trading DeviantArt names, which is a good idea, but chattiness is always good too!
Hmm. I like art. XD Mostly Star Wars fan art, but also some anthros. I'm not that good of an artist yet but am working on it. I have been wondering about trying out this Tegakie thing lately, but am mostly a fan of cell-shading and that seems to lean more toward painterly brushes, which...paint and I don't get along very well. XD I like comic-book style for myself, although I admire all sorts of art, and should try more realism if I just had a interesting subject and knew where to begin.

Aww, I was hoping this thread would be about trading names. I'm no good with chattiness. 'Specially about this stuff.
But hey, when I see a new thread, I'm pretty much legally obligated to post in it! (I'm trying to help revive the board, that's my legitimate excuse.)
Ummm...I s'pose I do art-type stuff. Of sorts. A little kinda maybe.
Actually, um, although I severely dislike shamelessly plugging myself, I'm a collaborator in a Knights of the Old Republic fan comic series--the link's down there in my sig.
Warning: Do not read if you are easily offended by any of the below:
- Female Revan
- Female Exile
- Alternate Malak origin story
- Revan, Exile, Malak, and Bastila being friends as teenagers
- All-new original characters
- Cameos from most of the party members of both KotOR and KotORII
- Master Vandar with hair

Hey, let's trade names! I'm Nemonus and I think you two know that already.
I am deeply offended by the thought of Master Vondar with hair.

Hehe, yep, I did. Helps that I watch you on the site.
I'm...eurgh...misao-chan. *twinge of stupid-username pain* I really, really dislike the name now, but you gotta understand, I made my DA account when I was 15 and obsessed with anime and a blithering idiot. So I can assure you that no, the name is not indicative of the contents of my gallery, and you most certainly will not be bludgeoned over the head with five-hundred-and-seventy-two lined-paper scribbles of people with obnoxiously large and shiny eyes, people with impossibly long and flowy or big and spiky hair, or Naruto.
...Whoa. Turned into a lil' mini-vent there. Sorry about that.
Haha...actually, you'd be surprised how many people are quite obstinate about their bald Vandar. When we put out chapter 1, we actually got a complaint from someone, "Vandar's not supposed to have hair!", and they remained obstinate about it despite all we tried to tell him about how the comic takes place ten years before the events of the first KotOR and thus even the older characters are going to look slightly younger.
(Besides, he has hair in the REAL KotOR comic.)

Helps that that's how I brought you here. XD
I was wondering about your "chan", actually. But I figured you'd made it a long time ago and repented. ProBoards one-ups dA by letting you change usernames (and edit posts).

That's true! See? It all works out in the end.
Oh yes, my repentance was long and horrible. I'm still feeling it. I wish DA would let you change your username, just once. I'd pay any exorbitant amount they ask for it.
Of a truth, I remember wanting just plain "Misao" because that was the name of my absolute favorite anime character at the time (some ninja chick), but that was taken, so I just added the obligatory cutesy Japanese female suffix at the end. And somehow decided to make it all lower-case because I didn't know usernames were case-sensitive.
*angsts*

I've switched accounts twice because I got tired of my username.
My latest switch was more to "clean up" my stuff. Start anew, start submitting different things, just helping me improve my artwork. Submit bigger and better things! And such.

I've thought about switching accounts, but I just feel like I have too much built up on this one to start over again. Besides, I have a ton of old stuff in my scraps, it's like a museum of my progress since 2004, and it probably does more in helping me organize my art than people actually looking at it, haha.

Yeah, I don't really have an attachment to my old artwork. xD Anything I'd like enough I'd resubmit.

Wow, lots of chat! Very nice to see.
I'm NatefanA98 on DA. Up until a few months ago I really didn't do much art. I believe it was in August that I started posting my work and have since than pushed myself to improve my skills. I mostly do animals, though I have been attempting to draw people (mostly Star Wars characters) as well.
As far as my method of art goes, I tend to sketch in pencil and then hand paint my characters. I've had technical problems for the past few weeks so I have not been able to post any new work as of late. I'm hoping to be back posting on DA after Christmas.

I have a deviant art account for my photography, but there's not very much on it right now. I have a bunch more I could add, but just don't have the time. I don't actually remember my name for the site, but it is either something to do with silver or chickerdoodle...I'll have to look and see.

Ok, so my name on DA is NoctuMutare, but I only have one photo up. I could have sworn there was more. Anyways, i will certainly try to work on that, seeing as how I'd like to try selling some of my photos.

Selling stuff through the internet is always a good idea to make monies.
I'll look you up!

I am quite thankful for PayPal in that respect.
I keep trying to get into photography, but I don't really think it's my thing.
Plus I don't have a camera.
