Sheesh, I haven't updated this in over a year. All right, let's see...
A bit about me--I'm an ALUM! I just graduated from Georgia Tech with a BS in media studies (focusing on web/graphic design and online culture/genre) and a minor in Japanese. I'm a violinist, and I enjoy sketching (heh, obviously), writing, reading, designing, geeking out over Star Wars and Pirates of Dark Water and typography, learning foreign languages, and studying volcanoes and astronomy/cosmology for fun. I'm currently job-hunting and hoping that I got accepted to teach English in Japan this coming summer for a year, so wish me luck!
This gallery focuses primarily on my fanart from the early-1990s Hanna-Barbera show The Pirates of Dark Water, which is my favorite animated series of all time. Seeing as how I don't update my Elfwood galleries often, for up-to-date info on listings and such, please check out that link (which leads to my fan site for the show). As of right now (December 26, 2004), it's showing on Boomerang in the US on Sundays and Mondays, and on Cartoon Network in South America and Australia. (If it's showing where you are, please let me know!)
Are you a PoDW fan? There's a tour for Dark Water art in the woods, courtesy of Leia Anne Getty--we'd love for you to do some art and upload it to FQ so that we can make the tour bigger. :D
Thank you for visiting, and may the Force be with you. ;o)
26dec04: Big update! Removed a sepia one of Tula, because it kind of sucked, and 'Costuming.' I also replaced some of the images with watermarked versions, since I experienced some art theft recently. And there are 3 new uploads--Luke, Squall, and Niddler. w00t.

| Date | Name | Comment | | | 5 Aug 2003 |  John W. Bennett |  Loading...I love PODW!!! I used to watch that show all the time. It still comes on sometimes on Satellite T.V. A channel called Boomerang hosts it every now and then. I loved the episode where Tula used her powers to control the enemy's dragons. That was cool. Tula is cool!!!! ^_^Yep--it's got it twice Sundays and once Monday afternoons.  ) Apparently some other satellite channel carries it as well...I'm tempted to put air dates for the show in all the PoDW images' descriptions just to make sure people know it's still on. *grin* And thank you! Tula does rock. ) | |

| 2 Oct 2003 | Leigh | Loading... I am a big fan of this show and wonder if there are websites about this show. If you like this show, you might like a show called Thundarr the Barbarian.*points up to her profile* I shamelessly plugged my own Dark Water site, if you'd like to take a look. ;o) And I used to really like Thundarr when they played it on Cartoon Network in the afternoons--unfortunately I don't remember much about it (except for there being a cool, kind of know-it-all lady, and one scene where Thundarr's wondering what a "movie" is, and the opening with the runaway planet/moon), but it was a great show. | |
| 6 Oct 2003 |  Aaron R. Maurer | Loading... Great drawings of pirates of dark water could you do one ofjust Ioz sometime he's my favorite.  Thanks--and sure, I'll give it a try. ) I really suck at drawing anybody besides Ren and Tula, but that's pretty much due to lack of practice. ;o) | |
| 16 Feb 2004 | Shiningami_DuoMax | Loading... http://members.tripod.com/~djfury/videos.html This guy has videos of Spartakus and the sun beneath the sea, he also has Mysterious cities of gold and Count Duckula for the 80's-obsessed child in all of us. BTW, i loved dark water when it was on, our channels here don't run it anymore. MonkeyBirds Rock!Oh cool, thanks! I know some friends who are dying to see Spartacus again. And PoDW isn't really on TV anywhere, unless you get Cartoon Network's spinoff channel Boomerang. Thanks for the comment. ) | |
| 10 Jan 2005 | Inquisitor | Loading... Are you telling me that The Pirates Of Darkwater wasn't something my fevered brain dreamed up? It was real. Well it's nice to know that I'm not mad. I stopped by to look at Luke ESB, an excellent piece. I shall now see what your other gallery is like.Thank you! And nope, PoDW wasn't just a fever dream. ;o) | |
| 5 May 2005 | Jewelie Mae Heler | Loading... Dont you watch anime hello yu-gi-oh inuyasha trigun come on man!Wow. You actually think that the "annie-may" on Cartoon Network and Kids WB is the only stuff worth watching? Yes, I'm a fan of several anime series (pronounced "ah-nee-may"): Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin (all of which I watched the Japanese versions of WELL before they came to American TV)--hard-core, heart-wrenching, deep stuff. And there's so much more quality animation that doesn't come from Japan--have you heard of Belleville Rendez-vous, from France? Or The Pirates of Dark Water, from the US? Since it seems that you like to limit yourself to what's on cable TV and try to belittle people who actually think outside the box, I guess not, and it's your loss. I do fan art of things I'm a fan of, and there's SO much more out there besides Japanese animation. Get off the computer and go watch the stuff that's actually worth watching. | |
| 29 May 2005 |  Lena *Hellen* Iachoukova | Loading... What else should I say... I was watching Pirates when a little girl, and it was one of my fav. cartoons. I was mad with monkey-birds back then. Your gallery made my heart beat faster. So much memories... I eager to watch this brilliant animation once again, but... At least I have 'Pirates of the Dark Water' game for Sega to play | |
