As in... scientific institute? Or maybe... research institute??

You haven't even got the word right. What you are thinking of is an institution. :P

But, otherwise, yeah, we have some crazy people at our institute... Even crazier than me. 8-}

Might actually be worth some anecdotes.

I have a bunch of other flower pictures, but these were the best. We even have real orchids in the area, also in our institute. Wild ones, I mean. I have a nice pic of the one I found...
A nice pic? You surely are not waiting for permission to post this, are you? I want more pretty flower pictures. *_*

Yes, Ma'am.

This is, according to a semi-expert from our mechanics workshop, a real orchid. It grew in the lawn behind our main building. It's a species under protection. It seems the Tautenburg area is quite well known among orchid lovers in Germany.

I'm not sure what to post in here that isn't comics. I suppose first things first are my characters from my webcomic, Primary:

And two sketches that I have for sale in my Etsy:

Hermione Granger:

Thank you very much! :)

Hey, that's awesome! Sorry about the belated updates recently! There will be a new page going up in a few hours. :)
The secret to my mild-awesomeness is that I draw all the freakin time. I draw anywhere from 5-12 hours a day, depending what else I have on my to do list. I would recommend going through my Deviant Art, and you can see what a difference it's had on my art from last November to now. (Or, I mean, even compare the first few pages of Primary to the most recent -- drawing every day makes a huge difference.)

Please do! :) It's kind of a quiet place; but everyone that does speak up is super nice. :)

Farthingale: I LOVE your joker pictures!!!

Here's some of my stuff. The paintings are pictures I did in a series I never finished, based on the seven deadly sins. The sketch I drew for a friend who looks like Hugh Jackman, he was planning on getting it as a tattoo.

Since a lot of people ask, I paint by sketching a picture, scanning it, and painting it on the comp.

Hell, I'll model for something artistic, but I'm not sure a webcam image is quite to your liking. That and the fact that the only place I can be online at the moment is in my mother's computer room. Stupid unemployment.
