Description
The best way of making an autograph.The other way of making an autograph.
When I was a kid, I did that quite often and I always ended up with marker spots and lines all over my hands.
Today is Children's Day! Yup, you've guessed - this piece is dedicated to 'em.
Now, if you're so smart, try and guess why she's holding that marker in such a weird way.
(and no, people, there isn't anything wrong with her hands...)
EDIT!
What? A DD??? For me??? Wait, what?
Now, that's just incredible. Seriously?
No, really, I'm shocked, happy like Santa after Christmas, cause he can lay around and do nothing, confused, shocked, happy and I really don't know what to say!
Just a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who at least visited this piece, to ~Color-Her-World for suggesting and to `joannastar for featuring!
Wow, I still can't get over it...

this is awesome

Haha, that's a good one, I totally missed that possibility!
Thank you!

Haha I really loved really your reaction of the DD, it's really beautiful that people get so excited, I'd love to get one someday!
And I'm guessing she's left handed. Although I wondered why the marker is so long and thought maybe she was putting together a smaller one with it. *shrugs* Anyway, very very captivating, I love the execution, the soft light- and the angle makes one feel in the child's position, which I'm assuming was intentional.
Something else: this really looks like from a Pixar animation!

Your pieces are very impressive, I'm sure you'll get one soon enough.
Take me for example - I only dreamt of having a DD, but never thought I could actually get one. And your pieces are of much higher quality than mine, soo... 
Yup, she's left handed (you've won a cookie! 
Nah, Pixar quality is unreachable for me yet.
And thank you very much!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww thanks! I'll definitely keep working! In any case, not for the DD, but for myself.
But higher quality? You're crazy, I love your work, you could be a children's book illustrator. Seriously, your stuff is great & innovative!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, I dream of working as a children's book illustrator. Or a children's book writer.
Sure your pieces are higher quality, I mean, you work traditionally, and when you mess up, then you have one messed up piece; while I work digitally, and when I mess up, I press ctrl+z and try that last stroke again.
And c'mon, just look at your drawings - they look like photos!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I have skills reading people's aspirations xD
Anyway, you do have a point there about traditional vs digital; but that the medium determine's the artist's quality is another story!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And that exactly makes you better, cause you have more experience. If there's one thing that I do better than you, it's pressing ctrl+z!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh well, if you say so! But art is art, no? whatever the medium.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, actually you're right, art is art, no matter the medium. But I suck anyways.
I don't know about Da Vinci, I'm not interested in such things, honestly (I prefer digital art, mostly), though the guy was a real genius; I'm more interested in the scientific part of his work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I'll be so, too, since I'm in a scientifid field myself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Science FTW!!!
And what field might that be, if I may ask?
I'm particularly interested in robotics (hmm, Da Vinci didn't pwn that one, didn't he XD ), bionics (poor Da Vinci!) and astronomy. Oh, and theoretic physics!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really?! Awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And may I ask what country are you from?
Well, good luck with all that!
Haha, bionics rule (hah, doesn't science in genereal?
Just imagine what effects could it bring if we combined bionics with robotics - that's what I'm looking forward to the most. Right now we use pneumatics in robotics, that gives very satisfying and realistic results, but bionics would give almost "natural" results!

I'm Cuban, but I live in Puerto Rico since I was a child. The Caribbean anyway
(but I'm not a pirate
And yeah, bionics with robotics could be both fun and dangerous. Try and see if you can read this book, I highly recommend it "Godel, Escher and Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid". It's about AI and conscience and intelligence. Also, it talks about where the sense of self stems from and just scientific topics in general. Very very good! Oh and its author is Douglas Hofstadter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But pirates are cool!
What could be dangerous if we combined those? Bionics just give physical structure and motor skills.
AI is still one tough badass thing to create for us, but there have been a couple of breakthroughs. Have you heard of Honda's Asimo? He's (yup, not IT - Asimo has something like a personality) probably the most advanced artificial lifeform we've ever created.
Or maybe you've heard of Ugobe's Pleo, a dinosaur robot? Allow me to call it a supertoy, Pleo is THE most advanced interactive toy ever to leave the production phase, he's so advanced, that he creates his own personality depending on the people he's raised by. Or Paro, a seal robot, aside from its cute looks, Paro behaves and spiritually interacts with people like a real animal.
These are just the few best ones I've remembered right now.
And thank you for that title, I'll try and keep an eye out for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye!
And wow, I actually had heard of neither. But it sounds like a baddass invention, indeed. The thing is, imagine when it starts to randomly pick its personality, not just depending on a "randomizer" tool or whatever, but depending on something it wasn't programmed for. Oh well, that's just me fantasizing... even when it makes random mistakes it was because it was programmed to., I guess that sort of takes the magic of it. But AI shouldn't mean conscience or life, right?
Oh god, you'll so enjoy that book. Everything I know, I got it from it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ROFL, you just said how Pleo actually works - he has real AI, no random junk.
No, AI is still but a program, it just learns and modifies itself in ways that the programmers let it modify itself. So no actual robot doom is gonna take place ever.
And remember, I know a lot about robotics in theory and quite much in practice, so I know what I'm saying.
Hmm, I wonder if I'll find it in Polish...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pleo! I met a girl in my astronomy class that's doing biology and she asked me about it.
And yeah, man, nobody is questioning your knowledge
Speaking of all that, I'm reading Asimov, I love his short stories and recommend them. Hehe, just spreading the sci-fi love.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Asimov reminds me of Asimo.
Though I'm not really into reading stories, I prefer writing them, but thanks, anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm the opposite, but I'm writing a sci-fi one now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, nice one coincidence!
So; you're writing a sci-fi while reading a sci-fi? Don't you mix 'em sci-fis up?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha no, because they're about different things
I'm reading Frankenstein and Nightfall. what I do mix up a lot is life and chess
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mixing up life and chess must be fun!
Gotta try that... Nah, the last time I've played chess was when I was eight. Or six. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, loads of fun.
and haha, Kaossilator
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You heard about the Kaossilator?
Honestly, loads of fun. One can really express themselves through music, a lot better than "offline" composing. Though the 8 beat/16 beat loops are a bit limited...
Personally, I don't know any other device that could give anyone more fun than this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I actually just googled it when you mentioned it!
And wow, it sounds like fun! If I didn't misread, it has a lot of intrument voices that you can use to record in a limit of two bars. But apparently you can get an extra two if you choose a tempo and set it to half of it... something. what do you really do with it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it is fun! One hundred programs to play with, 32 built-in scales, 50 gate arpeggiator patterns - it all gives almost endless possibilities!
...It's an instrument, sort of. Officially it's a musical sketchpad, but with all those smart functions it can be used to actually make some unique tunes. I got it, like, a month ago, and to this day, I've played about a hundred different tunes, it's just amazing.

awesome! I might get one of those 
btw, there should be a huge thread of comments in your piece, this is almost like an MSN chatting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, there is!
I usually let enormous threads mount up everywhere, until the other person stops replying.
Not that I MIND replying.

And now hast cometh thy end, thread.

I think that you really captured the essence of childhood, it's so adorable and it brings back memories! and I use to paint my nails with markers too!

That was exactly my point!
Thank you!

Aw!! This brings back memories~!
Great work!!

Oh this is adorable!!~
Uhm, I'm guessing she's left handed?? Since her markered thumb and her right doesn't have as much markings as the left one...
Still, this is very lovely and rather nostalgic, since I always remember doing this in dim places...
^^~

Thank you!
And yes, you've guessed it - she's left handed. As a reward, I grant thee a cookie!
Thanks again!

Oho yey! Pixely cookie~
You're welcome. ^____^

I like those pixels - they're reeaallyyyyy crunchy!

oh the memories of trying to do that with my right hand also XD being left handed i caught it right off the spot
I love this, shows, to me at least, the start of a great artist, she is trying to figure out her own way ^^ its a really great piece, congrats on the DD <3

Haha, I thought lefties would notice that easily, though I'm not one of 'em, haha (but for some reason, I wish I could...)!
Ha, nice one - you've gotta start somewhere, no?
Thanks a lot!
