3: How long have you been drawing?
For as long as I can remember :) I started drawing my first comic at the age of 10. It was a Pokémon fancomic where I was the main character xD I'm considering on continue drawing it :)
4: What tools do you use to draw?
When I'm drawing by hand I only use regular pencils and ballpoint pens. When it comes to digital drawing I use my Intous 4 drawing tablet and SAI Paint Tool. I barely use photoshop since I never got in to it and SAI is easier to use for drawing.
5: Isn't it hard to draw with a tablet on the pc?
Well, I used to have problems controlling the pointer at the beginning, but after some training I got better ^^
I've been using a tablet for over 2 years now, and still get stuck sometimes 'cause my brain won't co-operate xD So, like i said, you get used to it :)
6: What programs do you use for recording and video-editing?
I use Fraps to record gameplay, and the already installed recording program for my voice. I used Fraps for the voice before aswell, but it tends to work as it pleases. So I had to record it by itself. I also use the autorecorded material from Livestreams sometimes, and that is recorded with the Livestream Procaster when I go live^^
When it comes to cam recording I used the program that follows with the webcam I own. It's easy to use and works great ^^
In the future I might start recording gameplay on the Xbox 360, and then I'll use our HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition to record ^^ Unfortunately it doesn't co-operate well with the Playstation 3, so not much gaming on that one x) (I personally don't like the PS3 much, tbh)
The editing program I'm using is Sony Vegas Pro 10. It's a pain when it comes to rendering, but I just kill that time with drawing and smaller games that doesn't take up too much of the pc x) It gives me good quality with high resolution, perfect for Youtube^^
7: Are you single?
Most of you guys should know this already; I'm NOT single xD And I don't think I'll be single for a while either :p I'm currently living a happy life with Rin ^^ <3
8: How did you come up with the name "Korishiva" and what does it mean?
Well, when I was starting to learn japanese I wanted a name for my Naruto OC (which was basically me). So I mixed up "konnichi wa" with my real name (which I hate and won't tell). And it ended up as Korishiva. As far as I know "Kori" means ice (a friend told me so dunno if it's correct), and "Shiva" is a God. So... It means Icegodess, maybe? Dunno. it's just my nickname, and I like it, so really don't care if it means anything special xD
9: Do you have any sisters or brothers?
I got 2 sisters and 3 brothers, all younger than me and with a different father x) So, yeah... 5 half siblings :p
10: What is your favorite game?
That is a really hard question...And it really depends on my mood and the genre of the different game. But to make it easy for both you and myself, I'll tell my favorite game for each genre.
RPG: The Kingdom Hearts series! Because the whole series is good! And right after comes Final Fantasy X, which is my favorite FF game. Love the story and the gameplay is plain and easy.
FPS: Hard one, since I'm mainly a FPSgamer... But I think I'll place Bioshock at the top there. The whole series is fantastic, and i really enjoyed Infinite. Next on the list is Borderlands. Love the gameplay and the style. Left 4 dead is still on my mind, but I've grown tired now after about 700 hours of playing the game x) But it'll always stay in my heart as the first FPS game I ever played :)
MMO: Maplestory! It's the only game that have made me addicted! And it's kinda scary ><
Horror: Dunno if there are an own genre for horror games, but I love games such as Silent Hill, so I wanted to put those games here aswell :)
Retro: I bet you're thinking right now is "Where is Pokémon? Don't you like the Pokémongames?". Well, here they are, in the retro genre, since I prefer the old games in front of any of the new ones. My personal favorite is either Yellow or Crystal. I also love Emerald, but not as much as these! I also love the Super Mario Bros for the NES. Good memories fills my heart with happiness! <3
I can't decide on only 1 favorite game, because I love so many different games. If you are a true gamer yourself you won't have only 1 favorite aswell ;)
So here you got your first 10 frequently asked question about me. If you want answers about anything else, feel free to ask me right here: http://www.formspring.me/korishiva
Until next time ~!
