New! (sort of)

So I've actually had a DA account for a couple years now I think, but I've only sort of emerged from my lurker chrysalis a few months ago. I'm still getting used to how this site works, a lot of the places I visit seem to be eerily quiet, so I was wondering if this forum would be a good spot to actually meet people and make friends. 

I pop online a little infrequently, maybe two or three times a week, but I have an interest in learning about RP, figuring out how it works and possibly finding some people to try it out with. Particularly I'm curious if some people prefer a style of RP that's sort of like tabletop RPGs, with one person acting as the narrator and the other person(s) acting as the protagonist(s). In any case, any advice on the best way to navigate this site and participate in the community would be wonderful! 

Oh, I guess maybe I should introduce myself a little as well? You can call me Random or Iguana, either works for me, he/him pronouns. I'm here primarily as a writer, I've been practicing art but I'm god awful and there's no way I'll be posting my attempts on the internet any time soon. I've actually already posted a few chapters of a serial story I've been working on, check it out if you're interested!

Ok, I've rambled long enough. Thanks all!

Hi there! I'm mainly a Samurai Jack fanartist, but I do more as well, lol. I know, it is a tad quiet. And by a tad I really mean it's very quiet hahaha. Feel welcome to check out my stuff, and I'll see what you've got going. Good luck! Have fun!

Thanks so much! I confess, Samurai Jack wasn't on my radar as a kid, and I've only seen the final season Sweat Drop But I really liked it! I'll be sure to check out your profile, and lemme know what you think of the stories if you check them out!

Hi there.

I mostly draw female girl OCs ranging from normal girls to robots, and I do everything with Autodesk Sketchbook.

If you ever want a person to talk to, I'm available.

Hi! Thanks for the watch. I love your art, a nice combination of coolness and cuteness!

Hi ! Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay ! ;D
I'm a chameleon, I do a lot of different styles (but I'm mainly doing digital works 'cause I'm so far away from home).
I want to be a graphic designer and an illustrator !
I recently made a comeback to DA after a long off hiatus and wow it sure changed a lot ! Exams, ugh. It's one of the reason why I've to go off hiatus ^^'
I love Bleach, I'm a hardcore fan of the manga ~

Stay safe and have fun ! :D (Big Grin)

Hello and welcome! I like to draw and to experiment with different mediums and styles, but I mostly draw manga and anime. I also occasionally write short stories.
Nice to meet you, have a great day!
