    Is anyone else slightly disturbed by this "Darkform" character?

    I think he's going to go all Jeffrey Dahmer on people in two years.

    It looks like the shorter your post, the less mistakes there are. If you're writing out a paragraph or two, take your time and make sure it's readable. An easy way to do this is to read your words out loud and see where a pause would be, like for a breath or just the end of an idea. If it seems unnatural to keep going on one breath, put a comma into the sentence to break it and give a pause. It's also a good way to delineate between ideas in a single sentence.

    The funniest part about your back and forth with Wobbler is how much he sucks at spelling.

    Yea, but when I find someone that is worse than me, I have to take a shot.

    my spellchecker saw a few when I quoted him and a few I just used his spelling because the spellchecker wanted to change it to something totally different, I don't change quotes to make them be spelt right I just change my misspellings.

    is spelt a word? spellchecker says it should be:
    slept
    pelt
    pelts
    smelt or
    spent
    and none of those is what I'm trying to say.

    I believe the word you're looking for is "spelled".

    I used to dress up like Darkform every now and then, sometimes even during Halloween. I haven't for over 5 years now but I still have a black cloak. I only dressed up like him once in the past 8 years and only on Halloween. I started taking meds around 8 years ago also, they seem to make me not draw as good or want to dress up as Darkform anymore.

    before you ask. yes all the meds I take are anti-psychotics. I'm told I'm doing real good on the meds and about 5 years ago I was approved to be able to live on my own unsupervised. yes I'm considered disabled because of mental illness.

    I wasn't really curious (about your meds), but it does kinda show that you did enjoy Darkform a lot, or at least it was easier to look like him than anyone else you imagined.
    It's unfortunate that your ability is impaired for the sake of being normal, though. I know a few kids from high school that were incredible artists until they were diagnosed as schizophrenic. Their medications dulled everything they saw...they also became less fun to talk to.

    LOL you got part of my illness right when off meds I have:
    Manic-depression
    Paranoid-Schizophrenia and
    Social-Angziaty
    if I ever want to get high all I have to do is skip taking my meds that night. it is like I am on acid meth and pot at the same time when I'm not on meds. I'm used to not being "high" now tho so when I miss my meds more than 1 night I'm crawling up the walls and missing them one night I can't sleep and have a headake all day the next day.

    I think you forgot to spell check "anxiety," but that's pretty interesting.
    And I know why you've got your "lower head" problem now.

    I hope that some of it comes back to you. What caused your recent interest in your drawings? Are you going to start working on them again?

    It's too bad that we can't regulate only certain tendencies with psychological medications. It seems that it's hit-and-miss when it comes to dealing with chemical issues such as these. I was on antidepressants for a few months, about a year ago, and that didn't work for me because they had lots of side affects that made me dull and miserable, without being 1/20 as strong as I needed them. In the end, I gave it up. It would be nice if it were possible for you to balance clarity and regulation, but that doesn't seem viable at this point. If only we had drugs that worked right...

    Spelt is indeed a word, however it's a type of grain.

    it's not renewed interest I just happened to finally get a scanner and was scanning my old drawings so they are saved from even more damage. I took most of the scans with Darkform in them and posted them since my screename is taken after him.

    So... you're actually scizophrenic? I guess I was a bit harsh a few posts back then.
