I'll start!!

1. Name, Location, Age
Lauren Nicole, Plano, Tx, and I'm 22 (23 next month)

2. Tell me about your art!
_{-what's your focus?}
Well, right now I'm dancing between sculpture, textiles, and plain ol drawing. There isn't a fandom that I follow really. Most of the stuff that I draw falls into the lovely misc. fantasy category though. Fun fun..

_{-what goals do you have for yourself and your art?}
I really really want to create art in general for children, be it sculpting or drawing. Just all around creating of things for kids. Even maybe teaching them the arts later on.

_{-drop a link to your personal fav in your gallery}
It's a close tie between this (because I had so much fun drawing it) and this (because he's my most favorite creation thus far).

3. What would you like to see happen with this group?
I'd love to see this group have a positive impact on DA in general really. I know there's been some small drama in the past about why we're here, and I'd like to change people's misconceptions on that. I'd also love it if everyone got involved and had fun. =]

4. Anything else you want to say? Put it here!
Please guys, get involved! I'm bored because I can't walk, which means I'm doing nothing but sitting around all day. D= This means I have way too much free time. This also means that I'd like to start up some of the ideas that are dropped here.

Matthew aka Nukirk Digi-tal (google is an enemy) New York... 28. Just in case this is a A/S/L question... I'm also male. Yeah... that helps.

2. Tell me about your art!

-what's your focus?

My focus is pretty much graphic/media design. So, I'm more commerical. However, I do like to experiment with photo/remixing mashups. I'm trying to draw, but it's mostly vector. I mostly write short stories, novels, poetry... and now a webcomic called "Striply Drama"... cause I got a lot of issues to express. Why not do it thru a guy that looks like me and express himself like me?



-what goals do you have for yourself and your art?

My goal become an "educatainer" and wake up minds with creative pieces that varies from writing to graphic to mucis or a combonation.

[link] &lt;- My poem that expresses why I wanna write so much. So good, it's quotable. I seen a few people quoting me on the web.



3. What would you like to see happen with this group?

Alive would be nice. But also to showcase artists, spotlight members and projects. After all, we are all doing something to contribute to society.

4. Anything else you want to say?

Yeah... catch my webcomic, Stiply Drama! New issues drops every Monday. Er... what else... oh yeah, shout outs my homey D-von, WHAAAAZZZUUUPPP! (Ignorance came up. My apologies.)

2. Tell me about your art!
-what's your focus? (ie, subject matter, style, medium)
I usually draw Superhero, fantasy, martial arts characters. My style is a blend between comic realism and anime and I'm still working on fine-tuning it, something I hope to accomplish in school. My medium is pencil and paper, then I take it to photoshop.

-what goals do you have for yourself and your art?
I wanna do comics or animation. I'd love to work with established characters (Spider-Man, Titans, Batman, Robin, Black Panther) but I want to do graphic novels using my own original characters.

ummm...spotlight or showcase an artist or two every week...contests of any kind...communication with other ban members in some way shape or form( there's alot of us out there that really don't know each other other than the sig at the bottom of our profiles)we could all gain something from each other, either by networking or collabs..
how about focusing on the different art styles and abilities that everyone brings to the club...

check out my DA page if you get a hot minute...hit me up for a collab(art or poems)....

Get BANed
The beginning and D|N

Guess Ill jump on the bandwagon here...

1. Name, Location, Age
Preston Cardell Strong... alias, Spin (and many variations of it) ...23 yrs strong (24 the 24th of this month) ...Vicksburg, Mississippi


2. Tell me about your art!
err... It's a collection of successes and failures from youth up until now... Its as much a part of me as i am a part of it... Directly influenced by both western, eastern, and indi comics as well as just modern everyday life.


-what's your focus?
I deal a lot with humans, and humanoids. I tend to draw a lotta weird animals too but those never get seen. I used to be a hardcore digital artist but now i find it to be tedious therefore I'm a marker guy now. I like pens too tho


-what goals do you have for yourself and your art?
I would one day like to be published...either officially or underground..doesnt really matter. I most of all want to help other artists... and build some sort of unity whereas everything seems so similar but so separated. It's good to be an individual with an individual style, but its nice to be a part of a community that you know wont turn their back on you if you change style suddenly too.


-drop a link to your personal fav in your gallery
eh... im not much for personal plugging but here goes nuthin...
[link] that b/c its simple and just fun to do in free time in OpenCanvas and [link] that b/c its the last thing i put any sorta effort into before i just went "BLAH" artistically.


3. What would you like to see happen with this group?
...more unification and communication, less mimicry of pupular styles... more help from the more experienced user's to the less experienced ones... maybe some sorta mentor program... or a tutorial type forum. Things any community might have... overall id like to see this place shift from just a networking site to more of a community and resource for artists who know what they want but dont quite know how to do it... somewhere where you wont be afraid to post your art b/c some cynic is gonna give you a godawaful critique or where some fanbrain is gonna post "wow thats cool!" on everything you draw when your asking for help. ...*shrugs* Ive said too much.


4. Anything else you want to say?
Viva la revolution...
Good health to the leg, and im interessted with collabing as ~wolfprime and ~dnbdjq45 mentioned... intersted in drawing a short comic off of someone elses plot or dialogue... anyone interested just lemme know and we'll see if its doable if im not crazy busy.
