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

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.

Now that I have a proper desk with room for my scanner (you don't even want to know where I used to keep it), I've scanned some of the drawings from the tremendous backlog that I've accumulated recently. The attached images are primarily drawings of Riorla to use when creating her various sprites. I've actually tweaked her design since I did these, so they're not quite right, but they represent a good starting point.



Naia is a character who was just supposed to be a boss in the game, but I got so attached to her design that she's become a character in the comic also. I couldn't even tell you much about her personality, she's just sort of there now. I tend to write these things as I go along.



This is probably more along the lines of what Naia will look like in-game, although I think I'm going to make her a little less cutesy.

I'm completely incapable of thinking of a proper concluding sentence for this blog, so uh...yaaay! Go scanner!

Nice work, GG! You should really try to invest in a tablet, it will do wonders for your scanner woes. ;3

Very nice! I particularly like the second drawing... not sure why, but it seems better proportioned to me for some reason.

Wow these are cool! I didn't know you were working on a game! Naia is also an excellent name choice for a character :D

Thanks everybody:)

@Togail: I actually do have a tablet...just not a good one. I use it, but not so much for drawing as for editing and coloring. Someday if I can either pony up the $999 price tag, or if the technology comes way down in price, I REALLY want one of those Cintiq tablets where you can draw on the screen. That's the only kind of tablet that could instigate moving my whole process onto the computer.
