Thread "Hello from Finland," in forum "Meet, Greet, Show and Sell*"

I thought I should introduce myself, since I just joined here to DD.

* I'm 25-year-old guy from Finland.

* An average cartoonist.

* I'm here for trying to better my drawing skills here.

* I like to stay up long with Earl Grey tea or Battery Energy drink while drawing cartoons.

Also I put all this stuff already to my info, so I guess I should come up with something else too, right?

I've been drawing cartoons for about seven years, from the age of eighteen [this though doesn't mean I would have had enough practise or that I'd be any good at all]. I draw mostly fantasy and sci-fi themed cartoons.

Well, I'm having three hours left before my work starts in the morning, and I havenÃ‚Â´t slept at all, so I guess IÃ‚Â´d better go off to bed immediately.

Do you have lots of Finnish people here at DD?

I'm here for witnessing my bad English skills here. That is. And grammar and spelling errors. All those.

Don't drink the cold hot cola!!

Your English is very nice. Very few mistakes, about the same amount as when I don't spell check.
I personally can't draw, but I can appreciate art.

Welcome to The Duck.

no-no, I prefer the boiling freezing sprite…

Posted at 5:08PM, Aug. 20, 2007

Wow, sounds good!
(You'll see what I meant about the cola. If Dark Clown posts here.)

Although, I myself can enjoy briskly yet steamy temperatured(<-NOT A REAL WORD.) orange cream soda.

Thanks for the welcome!

I wish I could be able to draw as good as I've seen some cartoonist here can. I don't know why, but I seem to have very strange style and can't draw no other way :D.

Don't worry too much about drawing skill.
My signature is how I make my comic (with a solid color background) My drawing skills are limited. Although I consider my MS PAINT skills high!

Whose that Dark Clown fellow?

Is he the master of lemonade temperatures that argue with each other?

Look in some of the other introduce yourself threads, you'll see what he wrote.

Speak the Name and the Beast shall come.
(Get ready for third person madness)
No We are notthe master of lemonade temperatures that argue with each other
We are Dark Clown. We spell like a dead goat, have the memory of a dry trout. and have the artistic ability of a ten day old roadkill.

but enough of that.

Welcome would you like a nice refreshing Cold Hot Cola?

yeah… drawing skills are over rated anyways, it is the humor skills that count in comic land. Too bad no one understands Finnish humor, and too bad it is impossible to make as good comic in English as you could with your own language, if English isn't your first one.

I went to read your cartoon. Liked the pinata scene in the beginning!

I'd get frustrated, if I tried MS PAINT for cartoon making. huh. It would be more time consuming for me, than if I just drew the pages by hand.

Posted at 6:08PM, Aug. 20, 2007

Humor is what I go for in most of my comics.
I've grown to love MS PAINT. I find it KICK ASS.

I've got neither. ;-) But people love me for my, um, personality?

Anyway, welcome! And enjoy.

I read your cartoon some, so…

I think drawing skills and humor can be over rated, both of them, sometimes it is the good dialogue that counts and keeps the story going, right? And a good dialogue can be more humorous than drawn humor.

Also; I really like your cartoon for it's dialogue!

And thanks for the welcome.

Hello there~

Your English looks far superior than mine. Welcome to the duck.

Welcome Auri, you are just gonna' love Drunk Duck.

I'm Lynn. I'm an older than twenty-five year old from the U.S. (Texas)

I'm a horrible cartoonist (But, my hubby ain't bad…I'm the writer of the pair. )

I'm here for tons of reasons.

I stay up late…'Cause I'm a night person.

I know we have at least one other person from Finland. I remember 'cause I got a buddy that now lives in Finland, so everytime I see the country I think of my buddy. If you ask him whether or not he enjoys livin' abroad…He says his only advice is never to slap a Finnish Man on the ass.

Your English and Grammar are fine…Don't sweat it.

Have a good one, I look forward to your comic.

LORD SHPLANE!! YOU STOLE MY STICK!!!!! D:<

Welcome to DrunkDuck!

Boiling-frezzing Sprite is way better than cold-hot Cola.
