Kadota's an Arting Drawer

[Kadota]

Curious about my choice of words for the title? It was something that my dear husband started calling me a little while ago before I was actually married to him. XD

Anyway, nice to meet you all! Even though my username is Kadota on here, feel free to call me Shy or Kimiko! I didn't see an introductory topic to post in, so I decided to post somewhere that I'm more specialized in -- art! :3

And for all of you that are curious, my husband happens to be somebody you probably all know very well~ d: Any guesses to who?

Anyhoo, because I am still new to UPN I would very much appreciate some help getting used to the site. For instance, I really want to learn how to participate in the PASBL. I used to be an avid roleplayer for around six years, so after scanning through various PASBL threads I would really like to give it a go myself. :3

To add to introducing myself, I will be posting pictures in this thread as soon as I am able to... ( it says I have to post 10x first before I can post URLs ;A; ). But in the meantime you can see some of my art on my profile. =D

Once again, it's nice to be able to introduce myself to all of you! ^^ Ta ta for now~

Wouldn't say we know him very well, but my guess would go towards Sneezey since he's the only member I can think of who meets both of the following criteria:

1. lives in Utah
2. is capable of being married already

You might have trouble getting 10 posts quickly in the game forums since the game forums' chat threads won't count towards your post count. See if any of the threads in the main part of the forum interest you. Entertainment and Miscellaneous Discussion would be good places to start. Spread out into Anime or Video Games if either of these two interest you.

Um um ummm.... DARN IT. I made it too obvious didn't I? XD I should've put down less info to keep you guessing!

Then again, maybe it's NOT Sneezy? DO HO HO! (Nah, who am I kidding? I guess it WAS pretty obvious. XD)

> inb4 he trolls this thread to try and prove it's not him

Hmm... I do have quite a bit of interest in Anime and Video Games as well. *rubs chin* But doesn't posting on this thread count towards my 10 posts?

You need 10 posts? You have 10 posts now.

I like the picture. It is pretty cool.

[Kadota]

Seriously, dude. Thank you so much! That is truly awesome of you.

And thank you for the comment on the picture! I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures soon! I love to draw more than words can express. ^^

[pengyzu]

Aww, thanks for the compliments! I may not be the most amazing artist in the entire world, but if you truly are interested in seeing how I draw then feel free to lurk on my livestream some time (that is, when I actually stream again. XD I haven't done one of my art streams in a long while!)

Other than that, I actually have a Tumblr that I update every now and then, though I've been a bit neglectful of that as well. XD

Here's the links though to both if you are interested~ :3

Kimiko's Livestream

Ask The Fluttershy Tumblr -- WARNING: Pony Tumblr

[Kadota]

Hai guys! If you are interested, I am currently streaming. =D

http://www.livestream.com/kimiart

:3

[Kadota]

Ta-da~ I did this on the stream. :3

Spoiler: show

Tis my part of the art trade for Pengy making me a userbar. =D

[Shuckle]

Kadotaaaa~

You're really good! You and Daisy would hit it off instantly, I'm sure.

...unless you ARE Daisy...>:/

She is Miss Kimi! Another wonderful Artist on upn!

[Gemini Spark]

Eh? Someone else from Utah? YOSH! Can't wait to see your art!

[Kadota]

I finally updated my deviantART and Tumblr...



Also to add to my update, I made something on Illustrator that's eh, well... a little bit inappropriate, but not terribly so! Just making fun of the Lyra Plushie... ^^;

WARNING: NSFW

Spoiler: show

Enjoy~ :3

[Lady Kuno]

I would consider that more than "a bit inappropriate" considering I like to keep things here work safe. Debating if I should remove the image or not. Maybe you should label it nsfw.

[Kadota]

Ah, I can edit it. ^^; True, adding that picture was a bit debatable... but it's still artwork I would like to share... .___.;

[deoxys]

In case people don't get the joke, that's a reference to the Lyra plush toy debacle that's going on right now.

If you don't know then it doesn't matter, but that's not really clop so much as it is a joke.

[Kadota]

Hey, um... guess what? I'm alive!

(Well, I was never dead in the first place, just really inactive because not sure how to participate in UPN when don't know how to ASB or Fizzy Bubbles ;A; )

But... now I need your help. Sneezey and me both, actually!

We are pretty much flat-out broke. In all seriousness, we have about food for a week and about $5.00 to our name. Then after that, we're honestly not sure what to do. My parents have put their foot down and refuse to send us any more money for their own reasons... and with extremely limited transportation and resources, I'm stuck here with Sneezey trying to figure out how to survive until he starts his job (which we don't know when it will actually start at this point) and gets his first paycheck.

The solution? Commissions.

Usually I put my prices around:

$2 for a digital sketch
$5 for a black and white lineart
$10 for a colored vector
+ $5 for a background
+ $2 for every extra character

BUT. I would be willing to lower my prices if you cannot pay that much, plus I know that money doesn't grow on trees and you guys need money for your reasons, so on.

So if you can help us, then... that would be amazing. If not, then it's alright. I'm sure we will find another way to make money. But this is one of the ways that I can use my talents to do so...

[Kadota]

Please support my ongoing Stream. ;A; http://livestream.com/kimiart

Drawn by the request of Sneezey~ c:

I HAVE MOAR ART. This tiem though... it is an animation! I'm practicing animating, see... so I made a quick animation about Nepeta and Equius.

[Kadota]

Holy crap, I'm alive! I know, it's crazy, but it's true! After having GS over here the other day, it made me think more about posting here again... and so I am posting some older artwork. Might as well, right? d: Sorry about crappy image quality on some of some of these btw!

Spoiler: show

Did this one while I was working. Too much free time and a pink highlighter = artwork!

Spoiler: show

Another one I did while working. Like I said, WAY too much free time.

WARNING: Just a little bit NSFW! (Cute pic of girl in undies)

Spoiler: show

Not actually sure if I should've posted this up here, but it's one of my better (and cuter) pieces of art.

I think 3 is enough for now... but I do have a lot more! If you want to view even MORE of my artwork, please go here: http://imgur.com/a/8II3h All of the pics I posted are there and so much more! But I promise from now on to post more... Pokemon related stuff at least. But my "Secret Art Gallery" is updated a lot more frequently and includes all kind of genres.

Ta ta for now~
