more About me:

i have been drawing since i could hold a pencil, and started drawing seriously since i was eleven. at the time, i was really big into anime, such as Trigun, InuYasha, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo. i don't watch as much anime, and the only two that i seriously watch [whenever i'm bored, or taking a break from my comic] are Samurai Champloo and Trigun.

as i have mentioned, i have my own online comic, well, more of a graphic novel. i have been working on my graphic novel since i was twelve [i changed the characters and storyline around so much. xD], and have been working non-stop ever since i grasped the idea for it.

my main inspiration for everything that i do comes from the band Disturbed. that, and 'living life' is a main inspiration, seeing as i lost a cousin 3 years ago and he opened my eyes.

artwise, i think that i excel at the most is drawing creatures and people in a semi-realistic style. what i hope to gain from theCoterie is the use of perspective, color balance, and ultimately, backgrounds, and cartography. those are my weakest points. and if at all possible, i hope to gain even more ground on drawing creatures & people.
which is why i came here - i want to develop more on cartography.

Welcome to the guild Dezee! Definitely interested in seeing more of your work, so start posting up some maps. Most people here at least use some sort of software to manipulate their had drawn maps, so if you have anything you use regularly, it would be nice to know. Also, be sure to check out the tutorial section. There are many tutorials that go over specific types of maps using certain software packages to get you started.

Is there any specific place in cartography you would like to start such as world/regional maps, city/town maps, star ship deck plans, modern buildings etc? Knowing this and the software you have available will help us point you in the right direction.
