Why Zan/TaiZan
Well, it wasn't my original maraname..
I had another account and then I forgot Mara, but found back to it. Tho I didn't remember either username or password.
I made this account as some sort of temporary account, and didn't know two accounts were illegal, so of course the other acc was closed xD

TaiZan or Tai-san who is the real name, is one of my favorite characters from the series The Tribe (from the late 90's)

But before that (before I knew there was a graphics forum)
I made this:

This was the time i figured after 4 years there was
a graphics forum! How exciting!
I sell my first graphics (cats) for 5000 MP each ^^

After a while I realize these are horrible.. :addow_xD:

Then I start exsperimenting with pixles (because I only have the mouse on my laptop)

Which brings me to my great "triumph", the pixle cats! ^^

all my drawing so far, in paint/paint.net/gimp

Then I start exsperimenting with my first "big" drawing program - coral painter.
(which my computer cant handle, so it shuts it down if I use the eraser xD)

Here I make my first non pixle art! ^^

I'll end this with an Q&A ^^
Here is questions I get alot, and answers
(feel free to add some questions to the list in comments ^^)

~ What program do you use?
Sai ^^

~ How to use sai?
I made a tutorial about that ^^ see my blog (lineart & shading)

~ How do you make mumfers?
Have a tutorial blog about that too!

~ What's the weirdest thing people ever ask you to draw?
This thing :addow_xD:
[Image link blocked]

~ What's the weirdest lineart people requested?
A.. blender :addow_xD: Weird..
[Image link blocked]

~ How can you make pixel bases w/ a tablet?
I use piq (http://piq.codeus.net/)
It even got layers and a mirror function!

~ How do you recolor adoptables?
I always use a colored one, and just simply change the hue.
(in sai) I add color with airbrush if needed ^^
Remember to use wand and low opacity if you wanna give it a go ^^
(for mumfers)

For pixel linearts, I always save the lineart
and use wand in paint.net.


So.. that's that ^^
