I like to draw and I've got a tablet so I draw lots on my pc (now with the puppy there's no time for it, lol! pc is upstairs and he can't be there yet, have to take the laptop to the livingroom).
I've got a [a social network] page if you want to see some of my previous work, just search JSS Illustrations.


A3 drawing, took absolutely ages.

Used to play football too but I've stopped now.
Also trying to stay fit as my job is personal trainer lol.

And I love gaming...

Yeah I take the original photo (well in that case there was three photos), then I make a lineart sketch and after that start with filling in colors, working on layers and slowly building it up.
There are definitely ways to cheat with it (like just doing everything on top of the photo!) but I do it old fashioned and I like to deliver things to people that I feel happy with too, not something I cheated my way through, hehe.

Yeh in a sense, it requires a fair amount of time and you've got to be pretty disciplined in water testing and changing certain percentages of the water at certain times. It's also quite expensive and can therefore be pretty heartbreaking when you spend a fair amount on fish or corals to find they don't survive if you don't get your water levels right!

If i could give one bit of advise it would be to research massively before starting and don't cut corners! If you do it right from the start it's much easier - unfortunately we rushed in to it and then found it difficult to keep the tank running correctly.

We sold our first marine set-up about 3 years ago when we got Monty as we found we didn't have as much time for it but definitely planning on getting another one one day.

Thanks for that. Might be something for the future then as we don't have much money (what we do have is spent on all the animals), and time is limited at the moment.

Will definitely do some reading up on it meanwhile. Thanks

Start out with tropical fish if you have never kept any before then progress on to marine if you enjoy it.

As esmed said, it can get VERY expensive if it is going anything less than perfectly. That is why I am back to keeping tropicals and coldwater fish -- my purse can't take marine!

We do have tropical fish at the moment. We were undecided what to put in the tank that my brother gave us but thought we would go for tropical to start off with.
