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)

My first ever digital graphic!

(27.12.2011)

But before that (before I knew there was a graphics forum)
I made this:
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/ad2dc9.png[/IMG]

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.. xD

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

[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/9011594_orig.png[/img]
(28.12.11)

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

(29.12.2011)

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! ^^

Then I discoverd corel painters genius mirror function,
so of course I got addicted with butterflies!

Here's the first ever one!

And then I started doing those "free doodle" forums ^^
they're so much fun, and challenging!
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/4350890_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/8188956_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/4024534_orig.png[/img][img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/517149_orig.png[/img]

And after that I have done lots of custom linearts and souch ^^

[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/6549588_orig.png[/img]

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 xD
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/3847433_orig.png[/img]

~ What's the weirdest lineart people requested?
A.. blender xD Weird..
[img]http://zanpixels.weebly.com/uploads/7/2/7/4/7274838/3396816_orig.png[/img]

~ 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 ^^
