About Me
Links to all things Me:

My Personal Blog
Because I occasionally think about things other than games (I know-- for shame!)
Currently doing a 20-year history of Nine Inch Nails, because apparently I don't have enough projects that are HUGE TIME-SUCKING MONSTERS. Anyway, I try to keep anything that's videogames-related on Gaming Goddess, but there's a little bit of inevitable crossover.

My graphic novel, Sterling
There is some videogame-related stuff in Sterling, particularly Final Fantasy, but that's not really the focus. Meant for adults, so don't say I didn't warn you:).

My Twitter I'm very conscious of twitter-spamming, so I try to tweet only when I update one of my blogs or comics. Some people can get away with constantly tweeting charming little witticisms and it's neat, but I think if you have any interest in my twitter at all, it should be useful, never a nuisance.

About the name Gaming Goddess: No, I do not have delusions of grandeur! At least, not about games!
The origin of GG is this: My boyfriend's Mom is REALLY good at Space Invaders and games like that, leading me to dub her the "8-bit Goddess". We decided that 8-bit Goddess would be a really good name for the gaming blog that I wanted to start, except it would be false advertising since I personally suck at 8-bit games. So I changed it to the more general Gaming Goddess-- so I'm good at some type of games, I just don't have to specify which ones:).

Of course, if my boyfriend's awesome mom wants to start a blog, she can be the 8-bit Goddess, and I will bow to her in humble submission.

Favorite Games:
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy X

Currently Playing:
I have decided to change this section to only what is in my consoles AT THE MOMENT as opposed to every game I'm technically in the middle of. Accuracy FTW.

DSi: Final Fantasy IV (It's amazing! Why did I wait so long?)
DS: ARMY OF MOOGLES, I mean, Final Fantasy VI
PS2: Odin Sphere
PSOne: Azure Dreams, Parasite Eve, Tomb Raider

Latest Fan Art:

Yeah, something new! Rydia's cool, people complain about the graphics in the new DS version of FFIV but I love the way the characters look...well, except for Rosa. The girl could use pants.

About Me:
I'm a starving artist/freelance writer/comic book artist/insert other vocation that makes very little money. If you're on Destructoid, chances are I am older than you. That kind of pisses me off.

Anyway, I'm working on some projects that I think might be of interest to some Dtoid readers, but I think I'll keep most of that stuff in my profile section, so the Cblogs won't be taken up with self-promotional posts from me. I'll add the info to my profile when I start my new comic and things like that.

First of all, I LOVE MAGUS. MAGUS IS GREAT.

Second, I did another Ayla, because the static nature of her pose in the first drawing bugged me. This one isn't perfect, but I think it has a lot more character.



Lastly (I hate that word, hmm...) it's Lucca!



I'm kind of proud of this one-- Akira Toriyama's character designs are difficult to replicate in that if you don't copy his style, HUGE eyes and all, the characters look very different. I was afraid with Lucca that I was going to end up drawing some generic hot anime chick and just putting Lucca's outfit on her, but I think I avoided that particular pitfall.

You will notice that she is dual-wielding a ridiculous sci-fi gun, and a wrench. That just makes dual-wielding so much cooler for me.

Alright, that's all from me for a few days at least, have a nice weekend Dtoid:).

Lucca is pretty much spot on but I think your first Ayla looks better than the current one. The new one is not raw enough and a bit too clean.

HAHA I really like the Lucca, but not so sure about the Ayla.

But it IS your art, so you do wut you want!

I could tell who she is, I like these. I wouldn't mind seeing you draw the Robot guy, what was his name... Prometheus?

The robot's name is Robo by default Drach.

Though in my copy of CTDS, its Niero.

Good work as usual, GG.

Interesting to see these characters rendered with a more feminine touch, as opposed to Toriyama's rigid, stark style. I'm interested to see what you might make of some of the more unusual characters, like Frog or Robo.

Ayla one's defiantly much better, as the anatomy of lucca is kind of.. inhumane? As in none-existing shoulders and one crazy leg. (sorry, art critic of sorts xD I wonder why no one likes me..)

@CBlogRecaps, Drach.
He's called Robo, but in a sidequest you learn that his original name is Prometheus. Also, I'd love to see some art of him.
