I'm posting just to say that after years of frustrating works in digital art using only the mouse, I finally got my hands in a tablet!! It's not some Wacom wonder, cause I didn't have the money to get one, but it's definitely better than trying to draw with goddamn scrolling mice crap. Some people got the talent to do it, but I don't
I'll start to practice my drawings again, so that they'll quit from being extremely devoted in the art of sucking terribly.

As for the time I've been idle... This break I took was a consequence of my wait for the acquisiton of my new technological baby. As soon as I decided to get one, I was way too determined to keep on working the way I was, so... Anyway, here I am, back in business. I'm already working in digital painting with a lineart provided by my friend Ivan Osorio (by the way, check is dA, some awesome stuff there [link]).

Thanks for the attention and sorry for the rush, I gotta go to college in about 10 minutes.

See ya!

It has been almost a month of timid deviations, and I haven't introduced myself properly. This one might be short, because I've got to study to a Calculus 3 test on Wednesday...

My full name is Raí Faustino Miranda Santos. I am a 17-year-old brazilian guy, and as you might have noticed in the first lines, I'm in college (Mechatronic Engineering). I'm a big fan of music, I'll basically listen to any genre without prejudice, the songs just gotta be good to fall under my vast musical taste umbrella. I also like games, mathematics, physics, internet, and some other typical elements of the nerdsphere.

My interest in art dates back to my childhood times. I used to draw anime-stylish linearts as a kid, show them to mom and dad, and shit like that. Too bad I lost the touch of it and don't draw as well as I once did, but it was a very good introduction to the world of art as a whole. Nowadays my works are based in Digital Art and Digital Painting, being the latter my biggest interest of study and practice these past times. I also do some other stuff though, so there's a probability you come to check things like my atrocius drawings around here too.

Anyways, I paint and draw most for fun and for the pleasure of getting better at it day by day... I do hope you guys keep track of my works, and give me some feedback my commenting. I deal very well with negative reviews, using them as a pedestal to elevate my abilities. So please, don't hold anything back. Criticize if you feel like it, please! Of course, that does not mean compliments are not welcome! All I really need is feedback, ok?

Thank you for reading my journal and visiting my page.

Cheers,

Raí Santos
