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:

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.

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.

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!!
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.
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 :)
Jim Sterling is doing terrible, TERRIBLE things to your drawing right about now...
@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.
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.
well at least her head makes sense lol.

I'll fap all night to anything Bayonetta. more than Mr. Sterling will.
I srsly fapped.
fantastic work.
Very nice.

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