Last night I spent at least two whole whole discussing with my sis about the manga I am currently doing concept pictures for. After These two rabid hours of frantic think, OMG, awesome, does that work, etc. I came home at 2AM and started drawing to get at least *one* of my ideas down onto paper. I then felt sick, lay down and couldnt sleep. then i had another flash of inspiration and started drawing at 6 AM. Then I fell asleep. When i woke up, I looked at it and tried doing MORE drawing in efforts to at least undo and use productively the madness of the previous night! The results, (Critique me people!):

One of the previous Pages also, to get more of a feel for what I'm working on:

Good afternoon my female geek friends (I'm praying that no-one here is going to be offended by the word 'geek' here, or i think that i might be in the wrong place).

I'm maxiie, and I found this lj community through the linuxchix site and I must say I'm extremely exited to be here! So I thought I'd post an introduction to say hello to the community!

Ok, where to begin? My name's maxiie, I'm a self-professed girl geek of many things. I've been using linux for the past 2 years now and I've been feeling like I'm drifting ashore a desert island. I live in a small town in england where, despite the heavy amounts of art students pottering around, they all seem to be mac users with no clue of open source, let alone about linux. The few people I do know and see often who use linux have only started using it since I introduced it to them.

I dont run any other OSes than Linux/GNU ones- I tried windows about a year ago on my new pc and I didnt want to invalidate the warrantee by re-partitioning the HD, but I got so utterly frustrated, I formatted the computer and set up my partitions to run linux / XP dual boot. I then Never used windows ever again, and decided to just use linux solely and the rest, as they say is history!

I'm not utterly n00by but i am prone to ask RTFM questions, so please don't flame me (another reason I joined the community!!).

IRL, I'm a photographer / artist / musician, I speak english and Osaka Dialect Japanese (Albeit badly). I'm Bi, a Feminist and glad to be here!!

Eveything else is in my interests lists; heracio diem!
