I am such a party pooper, I never do tags or hugs or memes or whatever, so here's my first official tag reply.

Thanks for the tag and not giving up on my antisocialness!

The rules:
1. You have to post the rules
2. Every person tagged has to write 10 things about themselves
3. You have to write them in your journal
4. After that, tag 5 more people
5. Go to that person's page and tell them about it

Ok, so 10 things about me:
a. I'm Taiwanese-American, but my Chinese sucks and I don't know enough about Taiwan history (it's sad but true...damn American culture/brainwashing! j/k).
b. I have 2 kids and the one in my DevID isn't actually wearing a mask, it's Photoshop (I thought that was obvious but some people apparently thought I subjected my son to my fanboydom. I would never do that! Not until he's 5 years old that is. XD XD)
c. My Japanese is pretty darned good, though not super-fluent (go figure, I don't study the language of my parents, but I study a completely different language and get good at it...at least my grandma speaks Japanese though!).
d. I grew up drawing musclemen in tights, then Transformers, then Saint Seiya, then Spidey and characters from all universes, then I took a long hiatus from art, and somehow found my way back to art.
e. I have a dream to become a professional artist and I think that day will come, though I think becoming a pro artist is just the beginning of a long and arduous road to barely make enough to survive, and when things finally get good, I'll get severe carpal tunnel and repetetive stress injuries and become handicapped and die alone and lonely in some dilapidated house, wondering why I threw away my life for my stupid art dream. Wow, that's pessimism for you there!! lol
f. I am not a fashion man and I've been wearing the same winter coat for 13 years and I wear my clothes until someone throws it away for me or it disintegrates, whichever comes first.
g. I wish I met all you girl Transformer fans when I was still single. Where were you?????????? I never met ONE girl Transformer fan in real life, not one. Grrr....maybe my next life...
h. I am a huge Yankee fan. Shutup, I've been a fan since the early eighties.
i. I used to benchpress 185 pounds (80 kgs) when I was in my early 20s.
j. I never thought I'd meet so many cool people on dA. I'm here to stay!

Hm...who to tag...how about the 5 latest watchers of me?

I was fairly pleased with the turnout of my Wizard of Oz project. My next project will really take redesigning to the next level, and I want everybody to be a part of it.

First off, I was a huge fan of the arcade game Gauntlet. See a description here: [link] and a youtube vid here: [link]

First I will design the 4 characters from Gauntlet I: Red Barbarian, Blue Valkyrie, Yellow Wizard, Green Elf.

You guys come in for designing the characters for Gauntlet II, which saw the expansion of characters from 4 to 16 (12 new characters via palette swaps, meaning blue-yellow-green barbarian, red-yellow-green valkyrie, etc.). I will draw 4 kingdoms (red, blue, yellow and green kingdoms) and after you choose your color and character, you can pick a spot to live in in the kingdom! You can marry, fight, mess up the terrain, make treaties, kill baddies, find treasure, basically do ANYTHING in the kingdom. I will be sortuva dungeon master as you guys live and duke it out in the various kingdoms. I hope you guys get excited with this, but obviously it's my duty to make it exciting and fun. So stay tuned, first thing's first, I will design the first 4 characters.

To help facilitate communication and organization of information, I plan to use GoogleDocs, where we all can edit and update the file which will have all the timeline information and character files.

If you have ideas to improve the fun level, by all means lemme know! Let's have fun with this! And tell your friends too.

This time I'm going to feature two artists who really have got the "human TFs" thing down like it was nuthin. Enjoy!
