As this is my first ever journal entry I ask that any comments be kind and sensible as I am a extremely sensitive cry baby who takes every thing in XD. Nah just kidding! Its been a long time since i've done anything even slightly related to art. Lets put it this way. I was that bad during school i use to consider my written signature as art because it had a fancy curl on the end of the S and I always got stroppy when I was told it looked ridiculous. Well thats all changed for the time being as I have recently discovered a style of art which I cant believe I have never noticed seeing as how I spend most of my internet surfing on Youtube. All i need to mention is two names and im sure everyone who reads this will let out a huge DUH!!!!

ShadowLeggy and mjfan84. You two need to be commended for your work on and off Youtube. For the art, the videos, the teh streams & everything that is Resident Evil related. The first Leggy video I ever watched was Resident Evil In A Nutshell and the last thing that caught my on eye that video was the art but I kept searching Leggy's archives out of pure fascination and eventually ended up loving her style and character humour. Then along came the Teh Stream loituma video (Class) which introduced me to this gang of friends of which Leggy and mj had created. Right from the off I could see that Leggy and MJ were close and even though I didnt get there inside jokes or little comments, it still made me laugh watching how they communicated with eachother through there stream or comments through Youtube or other sites.

After all the watching and reading i eventually said to myself why not draw a pic yourself. Well it sounded good in my head but the fact that I didnt have a style and that I couldnt draw or sketch made me reluctant but i persisted and I churned out some sketches that I hoped would get a tiny bit of praise not for the quality but for my own piece of mind. And I owe this all to Leggy & MJ. If it werent for Leggy's unique style I wouldnt have even contemplated drawing again, not in this lifetime anyway! The fact that such charming and detailed little characters can be brought to life by such simple means makes me feel a whole lot less redundant. The reason I thank mj is because her loyalty to her friends and bright outlook has made me feel comfortable drawing others such as my Cousins and most recently 1st cousins wife. There something about them both that makes me happy just knowing that there around sketching and laughing & as long as there doing it, im doing it!

Well untill im next able to write an entry please keep viewing Leggy & mj's deviancies. I know two people like that will make the world a better place. I mean, they already got to me and it wont be long till they get you to!
