** i may or may not sell art on gaia. im currently trying to finish other requests and get my comic started. but i will update and let you know when i decide. thanks.

example of my art (that's me inbetween Zaku and Sasuke)--see more on my DA account: strayflame.deviantart.com

how i portray myself: i think this is important. i like to think of myself as an anime character--makes it easier to daydream lol. i always draw myself with The Guys, even though not all of them are happy to be around me XD i've gone through a few wardrobe changes in my own design. my first design was just blue jeans, red shoes, bandages around my right arm, and a green t-shirt. then i started something else but i dun remember what.

now i usually draw clothes i actually own or clothes that are similar to my actual attire. i do own both of the wristbands im wearing (right: brown band with a black cross; left: black band w/ FMA symbol--Ed's teacher's symbol), like 4 Naruto headbands, 3 of which are on my headband in the pic (RL: sand, sound, leaf, Akatsuki mist; pic: all but Akatsuki mist), a black shirt that says "I'm Ninja (you can't see me)" but it only says NINJA on my cartoon self, jeans, and red shoes--which i dont own, and a red hankerchief which i do own. under my NINJA shirt, i wear a white tank top, which is rarely seen. the villages on my cartoon self headband all have a scratch on them--which will be explained in my first comic, which i'll have links for soon....

**edit: im changing the design on my left wristband. instead of the FMA symbol, it's now a skull with one giant eye in the middle. see pics for refs.

my second outfit is my ninja outfit (the above one is just my "normal" outfit). i still wear the wristbands, hankerchief, and headband. however, i wear a black tank top, a black jacket with a hood over that, baggy light-weight black pants (which i do own in RL. they're my pj's/ninja/pirate pants for Renaissance Fest), and red shoes that are similar to DBZ martial arts shoes (i own red slippers in RL, but they kinda look the same).

i never color skin on anyone i draw >_< so i leave everyone white--nothing implied, i just dont like coloring, esp skin tone cuz i can never get the right tone for anyone. i have blue eyes with a hazel ring around a large white pupil, shadows under my eyes--i kinda have bags under my eyes in RL *no sleep*, and a scar across my eyes and nose--this i DO NOT have in RL. that happened in a daydream i had about YYH XD but that will be put into/explained in my first comic. i dont usually draw this, but when daydreaming, i have a black messenger bag with Jack Skellington on it. that bag i actually do own--Hot Topic b^_^d

**edit: im also chaning the design on my messenger bag. instead of Jack, i have the same skull on the flap. see pics for refs.

i also have 3 (fictional) personalities. they are some of my most important characters. they represent my emotions of Joy, Anger, and Sorrow (is how i categorized my feelings--i have frequent mood swings in RL). all 3 wear my NINJA outfit and all 3 look just like Ninja Dan (me) but with no hazel rings.

Joy is my personality, Blev. she is surrounded by a yellow aura when her emotion is excited. she has blue eyes just like Ninja Dan, is always smiling and seems to always be happy no matter what. she's also hyper, so she's the most annoying of the 3.

Anger is my personality, Slappy, or Yami Dan as she prefers. Slappy has horns on her head and one fang stikcing out on the left side of her mouth. she has squinted, navy eyes that look like "daggers" (as described by many). she is surrounded by a red aura when really angry, and has the worst temper.

Sorrow is Gehn, the shyest of the 3, and is surrounded by a purple aura when depressed or really afraid. she has navy eyes shaped like Blev's, but they are always sad. she wears the hood on her jacket and usually hides her face with her hair thrown over her shoulders. she is often the peacemaker when Slappy gets into a fight with someone. Blev tries to help but she is usually the one Slappy is angry with.

all 3 appear when Ninja Dan gets too stressed out. the wrist band with the cross is called the Seal of Soul Balance. when it breaks due to too much stress, the 3 girls appear. they can reunite if they so choose to. they are able to separate (as in they don't have to be close to each other), but if one is knocked out the other 3 will disappear, and where the one falls, Ninja Dan reappears wholly. the other wristband, usable by Ninja Dan and her other selves, is called the Power of Art. it allows her to draw anything on any surface--even in the air and on water, without using a utensil (black ink magically appears when she wants it to). when she slams either hand on the drawing, it becomes real. the drawing can be erased, but not after it has been created.
