RULES

1. Answer the 13 questions made by the deviant who tagged you, then make your own 13 questions.
2. Tag 13 deviants.
3. Don't say "you're tagged if you read this." (Cause, let us be honest, no one is going to read this if they're not mentioned.)
4. It is forbidden not to mention anyone.
5. Lastly, don't tag the person who tagged you.

My 13 questions...

1. Dogs or cats? Cats :3
2. Star Trek or Star Wars? I don't follow any of the two, but I'm leaning toward Star Trek because it's easier to understand without having to watch the previous movies xD
3. If you could go back in time and change one thing in your life, what would it be? Idk, honestly. I think I may have accepted my past/forgiven myself.
4. Favorite incarnation of the Doctor and why? Okay this is difficult because my answer changes a lot. At first I really, really liked Nine. But now I really really love 12. 
5. Where are you from? Indonesia. My dad is from Bali, my mother is from East Java. 
6. Where would you like to go? UK, Norway, Mostar (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Turkey
7. Do you like to dress casual or get all fancied up? depends on what you mean by "all fancied up" because I like to experiment with my looks, heheh. I tend toward casual tho.
8. Are you into sports? If so, what do you like? I watch soccer when it's the World Cup and I root for Germany. That's it. xD I don't have a very good stamina so I usually fail at participating in sports. 
9. Most epic experience you've had. Cutting open a corpse's intestines all by myself 
10. iPhone or Samsung or other? I use iPhone, but I really wanna try using Google Pixel. 
11. Gaming? If so, PC, console or other? I used to, but not anymore because it's hard to find the time. Used to play Nintendo DS a lot. Right now I own a PS3 but I rarely play.
12. How did you get your username? It was a name for my OC. I used it once for my instagram username and many people say it's a good name so I took it. My username used to be Nowme.
13. How did you get into art? Always into drawing ever since I was a kid. My big brother and big sister used to draw when they were kids as well, and sometimes we made drawings together.

Sorry I dunno who to tag because I dunno which one of my watchers are still active... ^^; (Please comment if you are, seriously.)

Hi. Just wanna inform whoever's still following me on dA that I'm drawing again.
They probably don't look much but I'm having fun, and I guess that's more important.
Previously I had problems adjusting to university and there are also other problems related to my mental health, but I've gone to professional help and now I'm in way better condition than I was in the last 5 years, which is how I got back my will to draw.

I'm still studying medicine. I'll graduate in around 2 years if everything's good. Then hopefully I'll try to become a psychiatry resident.

Still not sure where I'm going with life, but there's text books to be read, TV shows to watch, books to read, and pictures in my mind to draw, so I guess I'll let time pass while I work on them one by one.

Hey. It's been a while, huh? So last time I told you that I've moved to another account. Now I've decided to keep both this old account and that new one active. My reasons are... well, this account is just filled with too much of my past and I can't stand it sometimes. If you want to see more of my experimentation, you can go to the new one (I put them in Scraps). I dunno how I'll be using this account, to be honest. I just don't feel like leaving it. 

Anyway, I really want to get back to draw. I've gathered some inspirations and stuff about Academia Mundi, Lynne Ashe's story, but I haven't drawn anything new because I don't have much time. The thing is, I'm a perfectionist, and I have this... kinda high standard that makes my art rather impossible to make unless I have the necessary references. I feel like it's impossible to make a meaningful art without the references. I really don't have that good of a photographic memory or creating things out of nothing. I think it's my biggest weakness. I just don't trust myself. And this too happens when I make portraits of my characters. If you think there's something different about the faces I draw, then it's because I stole some... "ideas" from my references. I used such methods when I drew Anton Scatchard and the new Lynne Ashe. If I don't use references, I just keep making the same faces over and over again... In reality, we humans aren't that creative, compared to our creator!

But in order to truly create, I must spend a long time for my art. No, seriously. Even that Lynne Ashe sketch took my hours. It's probably because my drawing skills have deteriorated over time (haha), and because I don't draw much anymore, but seriously, I can't just make something quickly and expect it to be good. At least, not by my own standards. 

Recently I've been dreaming grand pictures in my head. It's been a while since I'd done that. I've tried to write my story using, well, words, but I just don't know what I write. When I draw, I know what I'm going to make. I guess that means I'm just not as good with words, huh? I'm a very visual person and I have a personal taste that keeps expanding. I think that's what's important when you make art. You gotta have a vision of your creation when it's done. 

Well, now I've realized that I could draw some stuff. But the problem is, med school is stealing most of my time. I gotta look for the refences I need, but sometimes I just don't have the time. I have an exam in two days. I have another exam the next week, and even one more exam a few weeks later. Basically my spare time all are used for studying. I study literally almost every day at home! I still wish I could make the pictures into reality, though.

So wish me luck for the exams, so I wouldn't have to take it again and have more spare time, will you? ;) 

Also, if you have found good reference sites (preferably real photos)/tutorials for buildings and sceneries, please do tell me. Because sometimes I spend too much time researching than drawing. 

Thanks for reading and have a good day!

Um. Hi.

Hello. So, I just wanna say hi. And also goodbye, because I've moved to another account: :iconk-shary:.

This time I'm really moving. I just can't stand looking at this gallery. It's been much contaminated by my past self. 

At the same time, I'd also like to apologize if I've offended any of you with my words. I realized that I must've been a real jerk in my active years in the internet world. I have never been good at talking with people, and now I'm still practicing. It's like I've got a relatively high IQ but very poor EQ or something.

I also wanna say thanks to everyone who's been kind to me even when I was a snobbish, loud brat. Special thanks to :iconkobakoba: :icontsukkaomi: :iconyamazakimiyu: and many others who made my life a bit better in the internet world, I'm sorry I truly forgot your usernames because most of you guys aren't active anymore. :(

I hope you're all doing well. And you may follow me in k-shary if you're still interested in the fate of Lynne Ashe. Yes, I'm still working on her. :D

And I'm surprised to find out that I think I've grown out of the series, after 7 years.

Or is it because Edgeworth isn't there in the first few cases?

Who knows.
