Chinky

Thought I'd bump and old thread back up. :]

Hello, I am Vincent, I'm eighteen, I'm from Washington (not DC), I'm currently attending the UW and pursuing a career in Architecture. I love art and everything about it. I've been drawing ever since... I don't know, but my mom tells me since I was a baby. I found ThinkDraw through Jigsawdoku through Sudoku, and wow is it addicting lol. I like to try new ways of producing art. I've done too much drawings in graphite so I thought I'd try my hand on other mediums. I have a brother who also goes on TD, but he stopped after only drawing... four? Five drawings? I wonder if you guys can guess who which one he is :]. Mmmmmmm... I'm always trying to outdo myself in drawing and seeing what my limits are. I'm also very competitive; I guess that kinda goes with my artwork lol. The only other hobby that comes close to drawing for me would be bowling! I'm not a pro, but oh my gosh, I could play all day if it didn't cost 3 bucks per game... Lol.

Chinky, regarding your brother, my guess would be.... Chompersaurus?

Chinky

Aw man... How did you know Lol.

Shanley

Well...let's see:
You entered the 'untitled ' pic in the showcase saying you're in a competition with somebody. The only pic raising to that standard was Chompersaurus's at that time. A quick look at the profile, confirmed the Evergreen state as a common feature.

Chinky

Lol. Very good observations :]. I didn't think anybody would bother looking into it.

I was thinking it was Chompersaurus as well. I remember you making the comment about being in competition with someone. I have a question for you which you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I was wondering if you were of the Asian persuasion, lol.

Chinky

What do you mean by Asian persuasion?

inked_gemini

Your ethnicity. Are you of Asian heritage?

Chinky

Ooooooh, lol. yes :]. Full Chinese, but constantly mistaken as Vietnamese due to my last name.

inked_gemini

I suspected so. Simply because I noticed a pattern in your drawings. Pokemon is Japanese. Mulan is a Chinese legend I believe. And the picture that Chompersaurus did is of a Korean entertainer. I've done Bruce Lee and my koi and plum blossoms were supposed to reflect the style of Chinese silk paintings. The day dreamer and the rice paddies picture were inspired by my own Vietnamese heritage. I'm a quarter Chinese, a quarter Vietnamese, and half white, but I get mistaken for Hispanic all the time, lol.

Chinky

Oh, hmm. I didn't notice that Lol. I drew that Charizard card cause I think Charizard is awesome and wanted to see how much detail I could put into such a tiny canvas, and the Pikachu was mainly cause some person asked me to draw more Pokemon, and since the cartoon showcase was up, I was like, what the heck, lets draw Pikachu. And the Mulan was was cause my friend suggested I draw Mulan cause I didn't know what to draw after my Lion King lol. I too tried an attempt at the same Korean entertainer, but I failed to get the facial structure right... However, I did try to attempt something of my own culture like drawing the Buddha, or a Chinese dragon, but I have yet to find the perfect medium/approach for those ideas. Those Asian influenced drawings of yours are some of my favorites in your gallery :]
