About

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.

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.

Fanart: Bayonetta

7:45 PM on 10.30.2009

After reading stewie's cblog on the question of why Bayonetta is hot, I got to thinking a bit about the character. She's the last character I ever thought I'd want to draw, but after thinking about it, I realized that I do like the fact that her design is so different. I don't see why a lot of guys seem to find her so sexy, but I get that all that stuff is subjective; if it weren't, every time my bf says "You're so beautiful", I would have to correct him with "Actually, by any objective standard I am merely okay-looking", and like fuck is that going to happen.

I tried to draw her in my style without losing the characteristics of the original character, and while I'm not sure if I like how it came out (I need a few days of not looking at it first), she still looks a bit like Sarah Palin, so I must be doing something right:). The uncropped version is below.

Elsa

I really like this! I think it's my favorite of your drawings to date. You've captured her, but in a stylized manner.
Very nice work!!

BulletMagnet

The one thing bugging me is her left leg...it looks like it's protruding out of her front instead of her side, and also looks lower-set than the other leg. Otherwise I think you captured her overall character pretty well, though your signature peaceful, friendly-looking facial expression is certainly a change of pace from her usual slightly-squinty "stare-down" look. As always, looking forward to your next one.

Rangoric

Hrm doesn't seem off to me, that's how a leg kinda looks while sitting (she looks like she is using her hair to hold up that leg). Also legs don't come out the side but I know what you mean :)

casualweaponry

Jim Sterling is doing terrible, TERRIBLE things to your drawing right about now...

GamingGoddess

@Elsa: Yaaay! Elsa likes it! Life is good.
@mkshiranui: Only if you are okay with every character in Okami mysteriously growing FAIRY WINGS:).
@BulletMagnet: I'm a little rusty so it wouldn't surprise me if there's more anatomy weirdness going on-- I can only see stuff like that a few days after I draw it. Right after doing it, I'm so close to it that I can't really see it, if that makes any sense.
@casualweaponry: Maybe, but he might not like my version of Bayonetta because you can't see her shapely behind, lol.

Jack Maverick

Props on the hair. And everything else looks great, but I can't help but see an eye as that jewel...thing on her chest. Probably because of the various bosses from the many Kirby games I've played. I blame myself for that.

But yeah, this is nice.

Shin Oni

well at least her head makes sense lol.

I'll fap all night to anything Bayonetta. more than Mr. Sterling will.

braulio09

I srsly fapped.

Y0j1mb0

Nicojay2

Very nice.

However the head looks far too normal. Needs to be half the size.:)
