Title: Hey-low
Post by: Zirra Nova on December 09, 2010, 11:01:47 PM
Just sayin' hi.
I've been a reader of DMFA for a while now but I've been neglecting joining...mostly from being lazy. XP

My name is Deirdre, but feel free to call me Zirra, Zi, or any other derivative of my screen name.
I generally act younger than I am...but because I like having people guess...I'm not gonna say how old I am. 8B
My favorite animals are dragons, cats, and birds of prey. I love country and alt. rock as well as some other music that I'm not actually sure what the genre would be. XP
I like to think I'm an artist, and I'm hopin' to set up a small thread for some constructive criticism soon.
Until then, please feel free to poke me on my dA account (http://zirra--nova.deviantart.com). Despite appearances, I don't actually update it enough...OTL
I've also got several an account on Tegaki (http://tewi.us/tegaki/uentries.php?u=256). I do update that more often than dA...but it's mostly sketches and doodle-barfs.
I used to be an avid DRoP RPer, and RPer in general...but I've since lost my mojo, so to speak, and now only RP sporadically...
I'm horrible at conversation...but feel free to give me a prod or a poke and I'll try to respond appropriately...X3

Hmm....doo dee doo....
I can't think of anything else to say here...so...guess I'll be off to edit all my user-info stuff now. 8B
Toodles~

Welcome to the forum and have a nice stay.  :3

It's pretty advice-able to use non-coloured text on a forum with selectable background, purple on black hurts my eyes:<

@ Inumo: Thank-you! Rules have been read and I'm keeping my eyes are open for any signs of mods. ;3
And thank-you again. I'm looking forward to see what some people think. ^w^

@ Tytaj: Thank-you! Ah, sorry about that. I'll be sure to avoid the colors to spare everyone's eyes. X3

@ Vae: Thank-you! Heehee, I take it you're a fellow fan of the felines and country music? 83

@ Kipiru: Thank-you! Just have to figure out what I want to put up on the thread. XD

If I may advise: maybe start off with something a bit older and then something new, so that we can get an idea of your development in skill and style  :mowwink

Mods are like sand-worms. By the time you see the wormsign, it's too late.

... Also, walk without rhythm.

If you wish to avoid a sand-worm/mod, do you best to not make any noise.  I'm told they're drawn to that.

... does that mean there's a concept of purple eyes that signifies something mod-like about someone?

Llearch's version is better.

The people here are pretty nice and we have the usual amounts of insanity as well as other boards for when you're not discussing the latest comics.

Have fun and hope for hugs.

Technically, the worms didn't have eyes at all, so didn't have blue ones. It was just people that got blue irises....

... or was it pupils? Something odd, anyway. Entire eyes, maybe?
Title: Re: Hey-low
Post by: Inumo on December 12, 2010, 06:20:04 PM
Their entire eye turned blue from the melange. I always imagined it as dark blue iris and pupil, a slightly lighter blue along the line where the iris ends, which darkens into the corners of the eyes back to the dark blue.

It's a cat in a sleeve. You do not need to color its eyes for it to be awesome.

Of course you don't.


... It does, however, make it EVEN MORE AWESOME! ;-]

I actually tend to disagree. It makes the cat look gaudy.

As for the feline...I tend to find most lolcats adorable at least...and I like both versions of that one. :B

Almost certainly not.

Actually, one second. *checks* Hrm. Nope, I don't know that I know anyone from there. Certainly, if I know you, or you know me, it's not under your current nickname. I just made an educated guess, based on your provided real name.

Speaking of, you should probably be careful about providing anything more than that over the internet. All sorts of crazy folks out here.

Hmm...m'kay. :B
You're very observant and good at guessing things. :3
:nod Yes, yes...no blathering personal information. :>
I just like seeing people's reactions to my real name...if there are any. :B
