01. What is your pen name?
bone-kun
02. What made you choose this name?
I made bone-kun as a joint alias with a friend of mine over at deviantART who also made the user 'skull-chan'. It was cute at the time because he was 'chan' while I was 'kun'.

PC.

Windows Live Messenger, Windows Media Player, Mozilla Firefox, Paint Tool SAI, Paint Shop Pro 7. Generally. I also use Open Canvas 1.1, and Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Tablet. Graphire4 Wacom I got for a late Christmas/Birthday gift 20/01/07. Yes. I even have the date saved.
06. What color or color combinations do you find yourself using most often?

Just something I wanted to fill out. I was going through my old journal entries on my MangaBullet and found this quiz. Most of it is edited, but I left some of the answers the same. Sorry for any typos!
[EDIT]: While reading this again, I noticed that question 80 is missing. I looked through my original post and the journal of the friend I got it from, but question 80 was still missing. I don't know what's up with that lol.
