About Me
My Twitter and my Tumblr, yo in the event you want to pester me, to give me advice/ideas for stuff, or to see me post artwork not entirely game-related. Mostly if you want to pester me.

What if I've finally turned into what they've always said I would turn into? A maniac. A psycho killer. A guy who enjoys quoting Sin City.

In a brief description, I play all genres of games. My personal favorites are and always will be platformers and shoot 'em ups. Galaga is probably the first shoot 'em up I have ever played and still manages to hold my attention to this day. Platformers, jeez, far too many for me to name. There are a few FPSs I like, but only if they manage to be different enough from the rest. I have my fair share of fun with other genres as well. Except fighters, I tend to be pretty bad at those but it still doesn't put a hamper on the amount of fun I can get from them.

I was born in 1990, my first video game system was a Sega Genesis and it was probably the best thing I had ever had the chance to play. As the years went, as did my interest in the video games field. Parents and relatives usually got me game consoles for birthday and christmas gift, you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I got my first SNES. My older brother and I did all we could to pool money together to buy GameBoys (Possibly a GameGear at some point as well) and eventually the Playstation 1 and 2. I can safely say that I have interacted with every Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, and a few Atari consoles and handhelds at least once. As of now, I still play games as often as I can, despite my game library has not been expansive as it once was when I was in my "prime." Since GameFly and various other rental places popped up, I have still been able to keep playing to my heart's content.

As of now, college usually eats up some days. Whenever I'm not doing college activities, I am improving my drawing abilities, watching movies, expanding my musical tastes both new and old, partying with friends, eating cultural food and, of course, playing games.

And I am a sucker for just about anything film noir, enough so that I occasionally write in that style. Rad stuff.

Well, I wish I could help on the anime style aspect of it but I'm not really good at that part. BUT, I can help you with boxing out your form a bit more. I assume you didn't really do any underlying form. Take something similar to this.

Let the underlying form be nude. You'll be able to see problems immediately. From there, you can add clothing, hair, etc. I know it sounds a tad lecherous but I used to do bodies without a frame underneath as well. Essentially it forced me to relearn all my art skills once I hit college. Don't get me wrong, it's good.

Just giving advice for your next attempt. Then again, you managed to do anime better than I can so, there is that.
