So I have no idea how you guys have the little Mp3's that play music, teach me your ways!

Well I figured it was about time I just...posted something OTHER than a help request. xD I thought I'd just go ahead and introduce myself since this blog is much more active than I thought (seriously so grateful for that!)

My name is Aspen and I'm 21 years old. No, I don't mind giving my name away online because in all honesty, there are probably other people with that name. So you can go ahead and call me by my real name, rather than user.

I'm really interested in different cultures, specifically the Japanese culture, but I have broadened my interests to other countries. My interest in different cultures, languages, and countries has lead me to travel to Japan, I've lived in Hong Kong (learned how to speak Cantonese), and I soon will be visiting a dear friend in Germany. But I don't want to stop there. I want to travel more!

Another one of my interests would be anime. And before you say anything, no my interest in Japan is NOT only the anime. I'll admit that anime introduced me to Japan, but I totally see the two as separate things. One particular anime that I've really been into for quite some time now is Hetalia, but I am interested in other shorter ones like Angel Beats and The Devil is a Part-Timer.
And if you aren't interested in anime at all, I don't care. =) I'll like you anyways. My mom dislikes anime, but she's my best friend. People have their different tastes!

I also really love animals...though is that really a surprise since I've joined a community like this? I've actually always found deer to be so beautiful and magical looking. So it's cool that there's a game like this. =) That being said, however, my favorite animal is a horse. Just...thought I'd tell ya. o-o

Well I think that's enough about me. I'd love to meet new people! Don't be afraid to talk with me, I'd actually love it! =D

P.S. I also have a deviantArt account: TheReapersApprentice.

I keep trying to reply to comments on one of my posts, but no matter what I do, it won't work. This error message keeps popping up: "You have to specify a valid author.36319"

I honestly have absolutely no idea what that means. Can anyone help me? I'd really like to reply to comments!

I've been on TEF for half a year already, and honestly, I love it so much. The community is so nice and supporting. Thank you for being so welcoming! I really, really appreciate it so much, even though I haven't been playing TEF that much recently.

So, I am about to ask a question that is extremely common in beginners like myself..... Can I have some help/tips to make my art better?


Okay so first off I can't really tell if I ama beginner still... I mean it's been about a year.. I started doing digital art at the beginning of 2015 with a simple computer mouse and on Christmas I got a wacom intuos tablet. Still even though the tablet made it 10000 times easier, I still can't create anything decent and my lines always come out wonky, my anatomy sucks, and let's just say it doesn't come out at all how I imagined it.

I use fire alpaca (latest version) and I love it, but there are features and things I don't know about that can help me out. First off when everyone (including myself) starts out witha rough sketch using a light color, than somehow magically makes it fade (I know how to use layers) and than adds a layer and traces it... I just sit there and stare and say "WTF, HOW DO YE DO DIS, SHOW ME LE WAYS" I watcha lot of speed draws, and tutorials, and actually I started doing some tutorials today and my art seemed to jump a level (it helped a lot) but the thing is, I still don't now some of the very basic things... I would really like to get help with the anatomy of deers/wolves and some basic shading and stuff so I can create a character that won't look like a lump of crap with decapitated deer limbs sticking out of it with a few hints of glitter... an what is that? Ah yes paint.

Can any of the experienced artists (or anyone really with some experience) help me out? Thanks!
