Well, I play a lot of console RPGs and read more fantasy and sci-fi than is strictly healthy. I watch little TV, mostly cartoons (and anime, of course), but most of my time I like to draw. I can't draw people very well, so I mostly stick to drawing animals, weapons, and such. I've been working on that, though, so feel free to shower me with praise when you do see people in here. At the moment I'm a student at a local college who's majoring in Computer Information Systems. I like to use the Random button to stroll through Elfwood every so often and in every gallery I visit, I leave a comment about at least one picture. Coincidentally, this usually makes the recipient feel obliged to visit my gallery and do likewise; it's all part of a grandiose and thoroughly nefarious machination to fish for compliments. }:)> Rest assured that I do indeed read every single comment anyone posts on my pages, and I try to respond to most of them. Of course, this usually means writing one-sided responses addressed to people who were just passing by and will never read my replies anywho, but such is life. Oh well, enjoy. And if you have something negative to say about my work, cram it; I'm only interested in hearing nice things that boost my ego and make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Or at least useful constructive criticism and suggestions. Feel free to e-mail or IM me (although make sure the subject makes it clear what you want; I get a lot of spam and delete chainletters wholesale- you would too, between the mass mailings from off-color web sites, offers for every form of insurance known to man, and virus-loaded confirmation letters trying to convince me I've won contests I never entered in the first place...). I also hang out as 'Lourde Incarnadine' around the message boards at GameFAQs.com for whichever game I'm playing at the moment- but I regularly check out the ones pertaining to newer Castlevania games, stuff in the Megaman Battle Network series, and some of the boards for old favorites of mine.

I have been drawing lately, but most of it's been fanart or science fiction (so it wouldn't be allowed in this gallery). Got some new stuff coming, though; plus a possible first entry in the Wyvern's Library. If there's anyone actually here, be patient. And I'll get that new Cerebus at some point, though it's not honestly very high on my 'to-do' list.

Arvidson replies: "Comment From The Artist: A lot of people are; I was sort of surprised as the response to it. I didn't think a skeletal dragon was THAT unheard of, but I'm glad so many people seem to like it. ~Edge" 21 May 2002 Frances Gibbs Loading... Talented with poetry, too! *smiles* Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: "And handsome, don't forget handsome! ~Edge" 23 May 2002 Joakim K. M. Olsson Loading... heh, this is a late-as-hell-reply but I wish to thank thee for naming my "whateveritwas" =) you're the first to come up with a wistful name, and for that I am greatful! \LD- the not all to active member of elfwood Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: "Comment From The Artist: Well, here's an even MORE 'late-as-hell' reply! Don't feel bad; we don't always have time to do some of this stuff. I think my average response time for comments is about a year, give or take a few months... ~Edge" 27 May 2002 Yvonne Marie Honeyball Loading... heh! pretty neat works - I luv ure style! Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: "Comment From The Artist: Glad you do; It's people like you who make this worthwhile. ~Edge" 1 Jun 2002 Sandra 'Shadow' Singh Loading... You have a lot more art up now! Oh yeah this is great! I'm happy that you have more stuff up, and the drawings are very well done. And yeah I'd like to see a new pickyture of you and yes I'm sure you're still as nice ever! Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: "Comment From The Artist: I'm working on it, honest! As soon as I can dig up a picture of me I like, I'll post it; I also have a few new pieces I'm going to post once I dig out the scanner. ~Edge" 17 Nov 2002 Kathleen Serge Loading... Great work you have in your gallery. I can't stand drawing with a mouse either, or doing any artwork on the computer either. I just colored something in...and it took me 3 weeks. Said to myself, if I had painted it, I'd be done by now. LOL Are you a tatoo artist? Your works have the fine line and tone of the design work I've seen in the city. Lady D Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: ""Are you a tattoo artist?" Man, I get this alot... No, I'm not, but I'm starting to think maybe I should be. ~Edge" 24 Jun 2003 Sandra 'Shadow' Singh Loading... Absolutely great work here Edge, keep up the really nifty drawings! I'll keep coming back to comment on them, don't you worry! ^_^ And thanks for your comments on my works, much appreciated! Keep drawing your people, they look great!! Edward 'Edge' C. Arvidson replies: "Comment From The Artist: Thanks, I've got a couple in my notebook, but not all of them really fit in Elfwood (fan art and science-fiction stuff). However, I've had this idea for a story that's given me the itch to draw a few things- I've got a picture of a wind demon in the works right now; plus two Golems (actually there are three, but one of them might not be able to slip through the Mods), an ancient king, and I might even try to do something without any people in it- a landscape (or rather, skyscape...). I've come to the conclusion that I CAN draw people pretty well... but there's a catch. My style seems to lend itself more to drawing old men than young ones; when you see this Wind Demon you'll probably see what I mean. I guess it's because an older face just has so much more personality and character. I think that's why in anime they usually have to fake character by throwing in an extraneous cheek-scar or bandage or something onto a young man... ~Edge" 11 Aug 2004 Alice Hsieh (Changewinds) Loading... Hehe, looks like your being as lazy as I am with updating the ol' Elfwood gallery. For me, having a job really kills the time left for posting stuff up or maybe I'm just to lazy. Anyway, just came over to say hey and see what stuff you had up. 'Til next time! 15 Dec 2004 Larry N. Morris Loading... Congratulations on being selected Artist of the Day!
