Zweiterversuch

Hi. I'm known around these parts as Zweiterversuch (For Germans a common username in many forums. For people from other countries a real challenge when it comes to pronunciation.) I have been present in some sections of this forums: Octavia's hall, Sugarcube corner...etc. I've started silly topics like the one in which you create your own MLP related yu-gi-oh cards or the one in which I was looking for people to publish a comic among others. This time I've come here with something a little more serious in mind. I'm a native Spanish speaker but I can talk German, a little bit of Japanese and a little bit of English. To talk at least 6 or more different languages fluently has always been one of my goals in my life. Unfortunately and as anyone who has learned another language, it is way hard to learn a language when all you do is repeat something from a book and you don't really have anyone there to correct you in case you make a mistake. That's why I'm looking for someone who shares the same goal with me (or who for some reason must practice Spanish, German or Japanese) to do a language exchange. So that together we might improve our skills and be a step closer to our dreams. I'm looking for people who are, Italian, English, Japanese or German native speakers. (I'm also trying to learn French and Portuguese but right now I can't even talk trash in those languages.) For people who aren't familiar with Language exchanges, here a small description of how it goes: 1.)We agree to "meet" online once or twice a week using Skype (No video conversation, in case you want to keep your real identity unknown.) 1.1)In these "dates" we'd try to talk as much as possible or do an activity that requires us to talk with each other (What we talk about is not so important.) To give you an example I'll tell you what I've done so far in these language exchanges so that you might have an idea of what we could do: -Watch a movie online together. -Watch anime online together. -Draw something and give each other advice or talk about what happened in our lives. - Play an online game together. (Yu-gi-oh or something else. No mmorpg's though. I've a serious addiction to gaming and I'm currently trying to overcome it. I mean it. It can ruin your life if you are not careful. I'm not trying to say that gaming is bad, but everything in excess is bad.) - Check each other's homeworks (I kid you not. I've done this. I'm bad at math though. Not because I'm bad at it but because I don't know how to explain things in other languages.) We could also send each other letters ( be mail buddies) so that we can also practice the written word of the language we'd be trying to learn. (Only two letters per week tops. It has happened to me before that I was overwhelmed by twelve letters a week from a previous partner I had.) As a language exchange partner I could help you with your Spanish, be it its pronunciation or its grammar. I could talk with you in German or even Japanese so that you might practice. (I can't help you in the pronunciation and grammar of these languages since I'm not a native speaker.) Also I must be clear on some things: I'm a 23 years old male. My hobbies are drawing, cooking, watch anime and movies, video games (mostly of the play station 1, super nintendo, nintendo 64 and NES.), languages, mangas, animation and voice acting (my voice sucks though). Interested people don't have to tell me anything about themselves. I'm not looking for people of a certain gender either. I do prefer that the ones interested in the language exchange are older than 15. It isn't like I discriminate children or anything, but as I said before this is serious business. I really want to improve my skills. Well, thank you for reading through all of this. P.S: If you're really interested in knowing how good I am in each language, I guess I could put up some recording for you to hear. This is also 1 of my hobbies: No, it is not bobbing my head.

Not yet. But practice and be prepared....be very prepared.

Well, the people I need now are not the same ones I needed before.I already have kotakotakota helping me with the story and maybe the art later. Mastercadence and Zhooves who will help me with the shading in the future. After we're done with the basic structure of the story, we'll work on the lines of each character.

You might be right. I might need someone who can help me with that. Do you know of anybody who's willing to help me in that area?

Dude, I was gone for a few days. I hope this thread isn't dead yet.I've been trying out that shading style and I've found out that I need somebody else who is in charge of coloring the backgrounds.These are the changes I've done in the first page of the comic. Also I haven't done anything in that regard because I've been working on the plot for the comic. (Believe me, it's awesome so far.) These are some sketches for a "OC" (It really isn't a OC since I took the idea from another member of this forum. But I loved his character so much I couldn't help myself.

I agree with him. Your drawings aren't nooby at all. They are in their way to greatness!

That's actually pretty good. I'm working right now with Kotakotakota and Master Cadence on the story. After that I'll start drawing and after some quality control I'll have the things ready do color (shade in this case). So you've lots and lots of time before you've any work. Check this image: I want something like that....

I'll send you a PM. I'll send you a PM.

Mmm...mmm.... I think you'll become one of the best if you keep practicing!

I like the rhyme....and the drawnig.....and Zecora....I like them all!

Dude...it looks great!

As I wrote above. I need editors (If possible 2 english native speakers. A boy and a girl.) I need someone who's really good at shading (it's going to be in black and white) I need People who's really good at writing stories to help me with the story and hardcore fans who can help me stay in character.

I'm currently working on something else, this: That is only a sketch of the first page of the comic I'm planning to do. I need somebody in charge to color it and somebody who's willing to edit the lines. Also I need somebody I could talk to about the story so that I may improve it. I'll be calling my drawing teacher for some tips. Please post something here if you want to work with me or send me a PM. The feeling the comic will have is something like this:

Wow. I'm sure it took you weeks to do that.

I don't get it...what does it do?
