Hey, I'm Firearia!  I used to play on this site a long time ago, so I decided I wanted to start fresh again.  Some of you may know me from other sites as both Firearia or Squirtle.

I love to draw and write!  My favorite styles of drawing would have to be anime and semi-realism.  I can draw humans pretty well, but don't ask me to draw a dog like animal because I will fail epically.

 I often write stories for the fun of it!  I hope to be published one day! My favorite style of writing would have to be fantasy, and middle ages.  It's so much fun.

Anyways, lately I've been studying a whole new string of languages.  I already know English and French very well.  I've been in French immersion since I was five years old.  I'm learning Japanese and Italian right now.

 I forgot to say that I do a pretty good amount of coding, HTML and CSS.  Plus PHP.  I also do web design and I am amazing at graphics.  Sorry if I sounded like I was bragging.  Hurhur. 

 So yeah, feel free to drop me a message and say hi.  I love making new friends. :)

Welcome! You sound like my kind of person. x3 I love to draw and write stories for fun. I love animal and fantasy stories. I can draw pretty well, but unlike you, I suck at drawing humans.
I also have a graphics thread in the graphic commissions forum. Why don't you make on there too?
Also one more thing, mind if I see an example of your banners?

Aw thanks for the warm welcome! :3

That's cool, I guess I should try my hand at the soon as well!  Here on Rescreatu do people pay for graphics?

Sure you can!  I'm just going to have to wip one up as soon as I get home.  I'm at a friends house right now and she doesn't have photoshop.  I'm probably going to have to mesh my style into what the people of Rescreatu like.  Most places I've sold my style, people have loved it.  But maybe here I'll get a new challenge.

Oh and by banners...  Do you mean signatures?  Or a banner like the one in your signature?  When someone says banner I immediately think of a site's banner. x3

Yeah, people pay for graphics. About 10-30k--10,000-30,000Tu-- per graphic depending on what kind it is.
You use photoshop? Which one?
The thing in my signature is a siggy banner. (Signature banner) You can also do Pet banners for your pets, etc. There all banners. I'm just curious to see your work. <3

Mmm, that's pretty good pricing.  I use CS3 or 2 I think...  Might be 2.something...

That's a cool banner!  Is the best place to find pet images in the creatu list?  Or somewhere else?  I'll work on one once I get a decent image. 

 

Here's a quickie Caya!

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0. It came free with my tablet, but I don't know how to use it--if it's that great at making banners. Instead I use sumopaint.com.
Yup, all the pets and their colors in existence on Res is located on the Creatu List. ;3
:O It's very good! I love the background. I'm sure people will be interested in your banners. Can you add animation to your banners? Like fading or glowing?
 
 
P.S) Here's a thread were I posted some of my best graphics: http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/arts/artgen/banner-gallery/~page/1/

Oh yeah, I can animate stuff!  This creature was a pain to extract with the pen tool, all those irritating white dots.  X_X 

Ok sweet, I'll check that out!  Is there a PM system here?

Awesome. I don't know how to animate stuff. I don't think you can with the thing I use. :P
Yes there is a PM system. It's called rmail and it's found on the navigation bar to the left. It's the last option under 'Community'. Here is the link if you can't find it: http://www.rescreatu.com/rmail/

welcome.

I also enjoy drawing anime style (humans...especially girls) and writing stories. My preferred genre is fantasy and supernatural. However I am clueless when it comes to technical stuff like HTML and such. I want to learn about it but my family doesn't care about my interests and I can't pay for any books or stuff on that. I hope to get published with my writing and I'm trying to actually FINISH write something; not for publishing though just for practice and improving my writing skills.

Hope you enjoy your second time here ^^

Thanks Kitnye!

That's cool!  I can't do boys as well, sometimes they come out great, sometimes they don't!  I have a lot of fun drawing neko boys (Cat boys) though!

Aww...  That sucks...  Here's a site I learned basic stuff from when I was ten I think: http://www.eonlightvalley.com/indexx.php  Look in the website section. :)

I've finished a few short stories before, but never a full sized novel or novella.  I should try my hand at supernatural...  Wait I have! x3  I wrote a series of ghost stories that scared the crap out of my friends.  My cousin, was under his sleeping bag almost crying!  It was hilarious!  I felt a bit bad after... x3

The most I've written on a story was about 6,300 words I think. It was about the perspective of lions living in Africa. I like writing animal stories. :3

Hmm, most I've written was probably 15000 words plus I think...  But counting all my stories it must be way over 100,000 plus words... Hurhur...

Lol. x3 I love to write, but I always get bored with my stories and only get up to about 5,000 or so.

I've never checked word count cause most of my stories are hand written. But it must have been a lot of words cause my hands were cramping after some of them XD I wrote a ghost story once. I wasn't really feeling like writing so it's not all that good. Oh and thanks for the site link
