Tools of the Trade: Pencils, paper/sketchbook, other utilities, WACOM Bamboo Capture, Paint Tool SAI, and most importantly, MS Paint. It's like that buddy from school you keep up with and share a few beers with but you really don't have much in common anymore.
Other Interests: Long walks on the bea-... No. No I f*ckin' hate long walks on the beach. Y'know why? First moment you set foot on the beach and you're spending the next hour diggin' sand outta' your pants. That ain't no fun.
# About me
Well hello there! I'm James Jackson, and really there's not a lot to me, I don't think. Browsing my favorites you can probably tell what I'm into. If that's not descriptive enough...
-Transhumanism
-Science Fiction
-PONES
-Humor
-More Science Fiction
-The Elder Scrolls
-Did I mention I adore Science Fiction?
What else could be used to describe me? Well I'm not going to don a trilby and tell you I'm a, "nice guy". To be completely honest I can be a dick at times, but that's usually in jest. Fairly friendly- I mean, at least I hope I am, I DO have some friends so I guess I'm not totally antisocial.
I will however tell you right now that my mannerisms are fairly crass and nonchalant. Half the time I just don't give a damn. You can always expect me to be frank and matter-of-fact with you, but hopefully in a good way.
Not sure how I'm coming off here..? Not sure even what to put here honestly. You want a description of me from my point of view, you've got it.
Also before asking for any commissions (Haha, my work- worthy of commissions, har har! Right? Right indeed. ) do note that I'm uh, extremely sluggish with stuff I'm not personally invested in.
So requests are much more likely.
Anyway, whatevs. Enjoy browsing my fairly blah art. If you can call it art. (MAN I've got to practice more.)

Any time man, and thank -you- for the help. It's been a long time that I've wanted to do this, make my computer work like a modern machine actually should, rather than a 90's mindset.
I appreciate this more than you know. Now my PC's got a sci-fi tinge to it with added, practical functionality!

I just can't do all six man.
Unless I were paid, honestly. Then certainly, I could. One anthro, fully colored, shaded, would amount to ~10-15, negotiable, doing all of them would be... Well, high. D:
I hate to be like that but I draw several things. Here's the thing- artists like to draw what they like to draw. Now while I -do- occasionally draw requests, they're really quite simple ones. When an artist gets a request from someone that's rather high, it comes across more or less as, "Hey, can you do a lot of work for free?"
Which detracts from what we like to do. It's partially why I started drawing. I could not afford or bear to ask others for far longer to do the stuff I couldn't, so I started doing it myself.
Not that I'm telling you to do it yourself.
I'm simply saying that artists tend to have a lot of little personal projects on our plate and when someone asks us to do something for them, we like something in return. It's a trade, essentially. Artist makes the art, customer pays artist for their effort, this gives the artist more incentive to keep drawing, get better, and get more commissions.

I am aware. I am simply saying, if I were to draw all that I'd definitely have to be paid.

Thanks! though I can't see the link at all, "Guy's night out" is a piece I am still quite proud of. You'll definitely see more work in the coming days, if I can get my rear up to get on with some more work I have to do.
Thank you for the interest!
