Yes please do :)

It's done! I hope to talk to you again sometime soon, I've enjoyed this chat. Well, goodbye.

Why to what? And due to being tattoo inspired, probably Jeff gogue :)

Wondering if you were just asking from curiosity or if you were going somewhere with it. Anyway, I have to be going for now, so do you mind if I add you as a friend on here?

Yes please do :)

It is scaring me in some ways, but exciting me in many others. I cringe looking at my older work, like terribly. Got any particular favorite artists?

Vincent Van Gogh. Why?
And of general curiosity, do you yourself?

Ah sounds good! I want to be a tattoo artist myself, getting loads myself :) And think of it as any medium, just have to learn and practice :) I know the feeling, a year ago when I first started out I went on a tattoo forum and put my stuff on there (Was terrible) and got slaughtered and told to give up and I'd never make it. But like I said, I love art, I love discussing it, I would be more than happy to help another artist :)

Well, by the looks of it, you'll be proving them wrong for sure. Learning tattooing seems like a terrifying prospect, however.
The practice over the years has definitely not been a fruitless endeavor, looking at older work is almost laughable. I love art as well, but I've never really been much for discussing it. Then again, we're doing just that now, so...

What career would you like to do art-wise? And fair enough, but I'm more than happy to help you, I've been helped by a few artists, and helped others. I like that about the art community :)

I'd like to move towards some aspect of game design, hopefully as a texture artist. Unfortunately, the only tool I have to use for that now is GIMP. Kinda worried I'll be lost with any other tools.
And I've never really been too community-minded. I tend to feel out of place.

I always doodled and what not, but as a serious move towards a career path yeah. And how so?

Okay, I see. I'm pretty much just a hobbyist, so... Yeah... I mean, I intend on moving towards a creative career, but traditional art isn't very likely. And as for how so... I don't really know. I can't actually explain it...

Ah fair enough. Self taught myself, with a lot of useful tips from my brother. I did however fail a diploma in art at school, just didn't suit me. If you ever want any tips or advice I'd be more than happy to help even though I'm very much inadequate to many artists out there!

You're self taught? And in about a year, you said? Well god damn, that's nothing short of a natural aptitude for it, I'd say. As for the advice, it's kind of you to offer, but no thank you. It just kinda... doesn't feel right...

I think I've been fairly lucky in my progress, plus blessed with a brother who helps me a lot. Are you doing it as a hobby or doing classes? What sort of mediums are you using? Watch some David Kassan stuff, learnt a fair bit from a dvd of his :)

Previously it was through classes with various mediums; paint, pastels, charcoal, clay, etc. Since this year, however, just as a hobby and mostly with pencil. I'll have to remember to look up David Kassan some time.
