Self-Portrait Thread

Well THAT took me a good ten minutes to figure out....geez...it would help if you would actually use the traditional 'bpmf' method. Had to go around and ask me friends...nobody knew what it means...-_-

And no my first tongue is canton, but like all canton, mandarine is a 2nd.

i can only speak some of it, not like middle school level with all the definitions and stuff, but like everyday household stuff like what i did at school and crud. sorry for the spam! but i posted a self portrait too, my cartoony way of drawing

bpmf? bpmf? so...... confused...

bpmf is the basic way of putting together chinese sounds. Like a chinese alphabet. Bu, Pu, Mu, Fu is the first four "letters". Except the U is pronouced like you would in.... um... oh! Like the U in Fu*k. Yeah there's more than those four but it would take too long to write them all out, and it would be horribly off topic, like I am now. I'll stop.

X... you're right, you do look better when you are less feminine. It has that same feminine quality, but you still look cooler. The double personality thing is cool... and that girl looks frigid.

I don't want to see you in Konoko's skin-tight suit of armor... TCTF elite sounds better to me. I think I have an idea for another drawing... it will involve X, me, Erwtie, and Lord.

wow.. didnt know there were so many asian ppl that played WC... i just mostly thought it were white boys. but i can read, write, and speak Mandrin. im a bit iffy on the chinese alphabet, and aint too good on chinglish. but if you give me a standard chinese book w/ the alphabet next to it, id be able to read and understand it. yay me!

you also forget that a ton of the asians are concentrated in this forum. i mean, this is the art forum and it strange, but asians are just more talented artistically on average then any other ethnic group ive encountered (I can say this because im part chinese)

well cuz, genetically we have long slender, flexible fingers and thumbs, there for we could grip a pencil as well, our strict family bond insures that we do well, and well, our complicated language also helps our brain, and i remember bu,pu,mu, fu too, i have all these small wooden pieces with pictures on em, and chinese letters too, gotta delv deeper into my studies on chinese...

hey x, ever try pockey, calpis, or super supau?

So many Orientals... so many...

I have no idea how to read any oriental language... I'm a different breed of asian... orientals aren't the only ones ;)

It does make sense that there are alot of Oriental people here... and I do agree that they make some of the best art.

All kinds of people play Warcraft... all kinds.

There is only one type of written chinese, but many, many dialects. :)

And the pic...don't ask. Just don't ask. Tis the other coming out in me...just...don't get wrapped in the chains, or even I can't save you.

Wow there are a lot of chinese/asians here. Pretty cool. I can't read the words as well, it's been a while, but I can speak it and understand what people are saying perfectly well. Also know a little bit of Taiwanese too.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I colored my self portrait. I should have made the pants khaki, but oh well. I hate coloring. Background sucks too I know.

please.. stop the cinese discussion... i'm having a hard enough time doing frensh oO''

and X, you scare me... very muchy much...

*go sits in a corning with B, trying to figure out a way to avoid the chains*

*gives Erwtie a phase cloak*

X... you are being really weird now... really weird. Its very good art though... I especially like how the chains all have shadows.

then you havent encountered a very wide diversity of ppl. if you judge artistic talent by skill in anime, then not only are you close minded, but also very very very wrong.

excellent work x, keepin the thread alive while me and erwtie are working our tails off!! ^_^ and working i am.
my computer is....um....dead, so i have to do all this at school, so youll have to excuse the large absentee periods from me. i have another group pic im working on after the comic is done. ;)

Sure like your idea for that drawing X. Mind me quoting the words for one discusion (not on this site)?

i think left handed artists have a cooler style than right handed artists.

and what carrigon said, that is just a stereotype, not all asians can draw. (or draw some other kind of style)
