___About Me Name: Elizabeth F. (Liz) Alias: KirbyGurl Birthday: 07.28.88 Bio      From first glance I'm rather plain and not the most notable thing on my campus. Some known me as the girl who rocked out on Dance Dance Revolution in my Sophomore year (It was only Light mode...). Some know me as the girl who won't stop doodling on all her homework and notes in class and carries that beat up black clipboard with the stickers all over it (This goes out to my proffessors who put up with my silly scribbles all around my homework assignments). But whatever means you might know me and for those who don't, I'm a pessimistic worrrywart who keeps herself preoccupied in personal 'projects' to keep at bay the often frightening realities of real life.      I am a Western Conneticut State University Junior and at this point I think I have a good grip on things education wise. I still have no absolute direction of where I want to take my pending Bachelor's in Illustration, but I'm keeping all artistic windows open because I find I enjoy most of them (Except etching. I hate etching.). I'm still pretty lazy, and I often dig my own hole when it comes to assignments, but so far I've managed to keep a +3.0 GPA for the first three years, so as of now, I'm good (Results subject to change.)      The projects I do usually revolve around my fandoms, including but not limited to, Yuugiou, Dragon Ball Z, Kirby of the Stars, and other favorites. I have a few that are original down to the foundation, but those have been placed on backburners for a period when I'll really get a chance to work and develop them. I love writing stories, drawing and making comics, because each activity lets me improve my skills.      I love music. When it comes time to work on a project, I need some kind of music on, there's no question about it. Most cases, the music I'm listening to will determine what exactly I would be working on. ___Frequently Asked Questions Why Pastel Productions?      I tend to work a lot with pastel colors in my character designs and pictures. I know with the layout it doesn't look 'pastel' it looks like it should be called 'greyscale productions', shut up. XD Who is hosting your domain?      Currently, I am using Yahoo! Small Business with a the 'Web Hosting Starter' pack. Not a bad deal for someone who wants a good amount of space for a relativly cheap price. What did you use to create the layout?      A combination of things. I scanned the drawn images with a CanoScan Scanner and colored in Corel Paint Shop Pro X. The great thing about Paint Shop Pro is being able to save documents as Photoshop files so I can work from the same file between PSP and Photoshop CS2. There I play around until I get a layout I like. I chopped up the layout and mapped it back in PSP and assembled with help from Macromedia Dreamweaver Who's that in your layout?      That's me, in all my fudgy-pudgy-chubby goodness. 8D Do you requests/trades/commissions?      I do not take requests anymore, sorry. There was a time I thought I could keep up with them, but I just can't, and I am not about to dip my hand in commissions yet. However, I do make trades. If you would like to make a trade, please contact me. (Contact Info in the Misc. Page) and there I will tell you if I have time to do a trade. May I use some of the art/fiction on this site?      No. I'm sorry but I'm really picky about distributing my art. I'm sorry. I found someone using/distributing your art!      If you come across someone using my work, PLEASE contact me immediately and I will deal with the matter.
