I want to firstly apologize to those who are waiting on the psyche/Eros story- It's been put off because of priorities. I've decided to go with the Miranda Project because its better fitting for Submission work~ wish me luck!! (I do plan on finishing up Psyche and Eros-- really!! Since they're in Staress, I'll have to talk about their background anyways. No worries~ ^_^ )

Now this is why I changed my direction... (ahem, gets notecards) I was originally planning to present my Coffee Philosophy Project to the "Rising Stars of Manga" Tokyopop competition, but damn... It doesn't seem like it will EVER be back up. I thought to myself... if I'm going to deal with unprofessional like (and un-updated people) Tokyopop as a company seems to be a bad choice for me... For the Bizengaust author, it seems to be doing very well for her... But I wanted a better chance... So I decided to GO professional and seek out actual publishers. I have a really nice publisher in mind!! It's super exciting for me to actually be working toward something in my life I thought impossible to do... But I can see that through hard work and perseverance (and getting though school is a pain!! ) Wish me luck, but more importantly- Pray for me! School is pretty rough right now and I'm absolutely torn. God knows this has been my dream since long ago so I know He's behind me... (breathes) ... (silence)...

Anywho! I'm done with the script (took long enough- 17 pages for a manga is pretty short, but that gives me room to expand! (oh my poor nerves! TT^TT )
Now I got -some- character sketches, more will be done and in full bodies too... and while doing that, I plan to get the uber-rough sketches done for the names. ( *0*;;;;;; )

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ...I need coffee...

1: Is your heart pulling down on you? If you get that deep-down feeling of helplessness; STOP - breathe - look outside.
I recommend saying a prayer, like a charm. All you have to do is ask for that little push.

2: Perhaps you think you can't finish it, maybe someone says you are dreaming the impossible dream; always know this is YOUR dream, your inkling and it is for the taking. Dreams are nice to look at, but wouldn't it be better if you lived it?
Live it! Dream! Set the Goal!

3: Look towards the past. The young imagination is freash compared to the stale taste of adulthood. What made you happy when you were young? What books did you read before you went to school? Where did you want to go?

4: Are you truly happy with what you are doing? Work and school can get in the way of the dreaming mind. Keep up with the ideas! Make a note, a paragragh, a drawing a day. Don't loose what you have. If you forget how you did "this and that", always know the sketchy stuff is the raw preview of your best work. Remember to do it EVERYDAY!

5: Do not, DO NOT waste your time on silly playlists and "getting prepared" to be inspired. The songs you listen to and the books you read are good, but when no inspiration happens; STOP - drop what you're doing - go outside (yes, even if its cold and rainy). They are not truly apart of yourself.

6: When you have finished reading this sentence, I want you off of the computer and onto what you REALLY need to do.

GOOD LUCK with your dreams! I hope for the best of you!

This is for the NeoInklings everywhere~
(now i don't feel bad anymore. ^______^)

------------

An Aquintian University Student, (who for some odd reason needed to interview some stranger in her local area) finds Infinitis, a newbie to the Province.

(FYI: Aquinta is not a Sovereign State, but is under a democratic rule. That's why I referred to it as a Providence.)

------------

*They sit on a bistro outside the Local cafe: Hatter's Coffee and Tea*

Student: Alright! what's you're name, honey?

Girl: (shyly) ...Infinitis...

Stdnt: Very Pretty. (^_^) Now, How old are you?

Finny: Nineteen.

Stdnt: You're very young looking, yes?

Finny: I am? (o_o)

Stdnt: Ehh.. What business brings you here to Aquinta?

Finny: Huh? (quite puzzled~)

Stdnt: (Getting curt) How did you get here? (=A= )

Finny: Oh, well... I came here because... Something happened at home, AND NOW I'M HERE! (^0^)

Stdnt: (o_o) Forgive me, but I would like to get a more in-depth explanation. What happened at home?? Did you get kicked out or ran away...?

Finny: Nope, It was attacked... Sacked, I think... (._.)

Stdnt: (+_+) Attacked??? Are you a refugee?? I'm so sorry about that!! Are you ever going to go back someday?

Finny: I'm not too sure. (^o^) Rathina told me to never come back. She thought I would be more useful If I wandered around for a bit.

Stdnt: Useful...? How... Ah, and who is Rathina? I feel like I should know this name.

Finny: Rathina is my sister, on course! (*__*) She's so cool!

Stdnt: :Sigh: *feel like she's going nowhere in her interview* Are you sure you're Nineteen? ...Anyways, so are you staying with close relatives near here?

Finny: (._.) No.

Stdnt: Ok...So you're all alone and fending for yourself? (=____= )

Finny: I'm NOT alone!! (TToTT) The Barbarous Prince is staying with me!! And Lyla takes very good care of me, although... she thought we were spies at first. And-

Stdnt: OK! OK! (o_0) Calm down!~ I was curious, forgive me.
~Eh, (big breath) When I found you, you were...by yourself so I assumed-
And who is this Barbarous...Prince?? Sounds ferocious!~ And interesting (*0*)

Finny: Oh no! (^o^)
The Barbarous Prince is not at all scary! He's just comes from the mysterious, Barbarous Kingdom that-shall-not-be-named. (nod~nod) Mother told me to never mention it-

Stdnt: Eh~ =_=

Finny: -And I'm not separated from my company. They're just too slow to follow. (^v^) *Even though, she's too curious to stay in one spot.*

Stdnt: Slow to follow, huh? I wonder. Well, I don't know any Barbarous Kingdoms... But there is the Jaian Empire. It's very militant, I know. The ' Prince' is from there, yes-

Finny: (I wouldn't know the name. Mother never told meh. o_0 )

Stdnt: (Thinking) And you say he's a ' Prince'... Then I think you mean he's pretty handsome, right? (hehe, barbarous prince~ that's just silliness =_= )
Sounds like you have a crush on him, or somthing...

Finny: The Barbarous Prince wouldn't be the Barbarous Prince if he wasn't the Barbarous Prince of the Barbarous Kingdom! (-0-) (Pure.Infinitis.Logic)

Stdnt: (._.) Ok... So you ARE saying he's a prince. And from the Jaian Empre?? If that's so...(suspisious)...What's his name?

Finny: Let's see
(...)
Ah!
I forgot, sorry.
I'll ask him when he catches up with me later. I'm not very good with names, you see. And I know it's all important and all since being royalty, you have to be curtious to everyone~

Stdnt: :smack's head: You don't know his name??? (She must be making things up.)

Finny: We've just met! It takes awhile for me to remember. Please bear with me. (ToT) I'll see if I can recall...

Stdnt: That'll be nice. I could tell you who IS the real prince of the Jaian Emp-

(*0*) It's Alix! (Finny: ) I remember now! Leon introduced us at the Coronation Ball before it was sacked! (^o^) It's Alixander Roul Octavious Jiadon! That's it.

Stdnt: (astounded) And I thought you couldn't remember things w... ]]> ~Faithess http://Faithess.deviantart.com/journal/21676301/ http://Faithess.deviantart.com/journal/21676301/ Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:40:10 PST

How is it that beautiful men always have a place to swoon my heart, especially the 2d kind... *sigh* (I'm reffering to Kusuriuri = Medicine Seller)

Mononoke (TV) has got me. Not only has it captured my eyes with its beautifully mastered artwork, its themes inspire me. I compare the mononoke with my darker creatures. Like so:

In my series revolving around Edonia (the set world), Kanu is the darkness within the crevices of the physical, mental, and emotional beings. They have no prominent form but they preferably like to show themselves either as ugly or beautiful (whatever attracts the human they prey upon). Their characteristics to the form and the forms humans lock away inside their hearts with bitterness and grudge are close enough to what I saw in the show Mononoke.

The character of the Medicine Seller also got to me... but I'll have to figure out my thought on him for another time...

Whiew, yay, good thing I got that out... o_0

Go watch the show!!!! >_<

It weighs down on your drawing technique and drives your confidence into the pit of dispare... (yes, I'm referenceing The Princess Bride!! ^o^ )

Anywho, don't let those feelings get to you while your still young and learning. You have a ways to go!


...plus, Jesus will love you no matter how bad your drawings seem... (That thought always helps me get going. o_o;; I know, I'm silly.)

***I found a name for the young woman! >_< Her name is Prudence: a name that captures virtue and the essence of old time.* Dance~Dance!**





It was labled UNKNOWN.

A lone boy kneeling, mouth agape. His hand clutching his chest and his other limply layed to the side. A chilling feeling goes though the girl. Sirtainly the skillsman ship of this statue was par none compared to others back in the past. The detail was too great and proportions life-like.

To the side of the statue is a statment of the mystery. This statue was carbon dated for fallacy, but the year was too close to call it a fake. All five statues were found underground, supposedly a burial of the sculptor
who created these works of art. But who was the sculptor? It marks close resemplence to Praxitilies, one of the greatest Hellenisic sculptors of his time.

Another note on the statement introduced a bigger question. What was the inspiration of the statue? Could it be from a myth? All storys have been studied and yet none cannot conect with the boy. The subject of fear in the boy wouldn't be at all pleasing to the Greek Public, only the calmer reality of age and human ugliness were more of the main subjects for sculpors.

Prudence looks more intensly at the boy, perhaps she could figure out the subject of the boy.

The more she looks at the statue, the more the world around her is forgotten. Who could this boy be? Why would he be in fear... or pain?

Suddenly, darkness!

What?

The museum is closed. They left her alone... with the statues... Now her excitement has chaged into her own fear. With the darkness comes strange imaginations. The look of the figures becomes ghostly and the boy also seems to become more real in the light of the moon.

So frightful, and haunting; almost like he could scream at any moment. Slowly, Prudence walks backwards covering her face. The sight is too much! The sadness too much! Tears drop on her face. "I want to leave!"

Before Prudence could think, loud noises resounded and the statues in the exhibition collide with one another.

"What have I done...?"

Her statues! The passion is broken, all of the statues are in peices save for the one behind her. She'll be caught! And as for her name? She'll be known as the notorious Art Historian that broke the newly discovered works of beauty!

"I'll never be able to accomplish my dreams like this!!?" She uncontiously moves back to the unknown statue.

She gasps. It also lands loudly on the floor, yet...

It was soft...

The girl turns to see the figure on the floor, in the same position but lying on his back. The color on his cheeks turns from white into a pinkish tan. It then covers his intire body.

When the color reaches the boy's mouth, it is like all the pent-up emotion came screaming out! Prudence covers her ears as more tears flow. The saddness is overflowing. The anguish of her heart tears even more.

...

(To be continued even more!!!) >_< this is longer than I thought... Dammit, I'm bad with 'summerization'. =.=

~~

She is late to a school trip three hours away from home. When she finds out her class left before she arrived, a great sense of defeat falls on her.

"Maybe...I should just drop school altogether..."

Then a banner flaps wildly in the wind, catching her attention. On the banner displays one exhibition, yet the other side shows another... It says:

-NEW DISCOVERY! Premiere World Tour of newly found Hellenistic Statues, perfectly preserved! A mystery for the 21 Century! Only here for limited time-

Her heart beats faster at the thought. Could all of her misfortunes lead up to this magnificent point? She wonders inside the museum, already payed to see the new morsels of ancient history.

Beautiful in shape and ripely made before the sculptor had the time to apply paint. Five life-size statues in all. One named "Chronos", the other "Minotar". Two others were couples depicting childhood and youth. But the last one intriuged her the most...

more coming~ I'm tired now! ToT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Such a little Queendom Tranquillia is.

The gardens grow so beautifully there, up in the tree tops where the citizens fly. Flying toward the flowers they pick for their fortune, the Tranquillians are far from poor.

Within the little lilies, roses, and peonies are little crystallized dewdrops that can power the largest machine. The world of Edonia years for these rarities, crowning the Tranquillians as most noble of all.

But what of their Queen-

Their Provider? She is the most humble, letting her people bask in the world of riches as she asks for none.

Surely this is a perfect little Queendom.

Surely...

I never knew I was so good at orignizing story summeries~ (not boasting ^o^;;; hopefully ... just discovering~)

Where do I begin>?

Many dreams have come and passed. So they also stay with us forever. We think about them constantly in love, but always forget to do them immediately.

Sometimes I dream too much...

Too many lazy summer dreams and not enough waking up.

I want Infinitis to wake up~
To have Tranquillia in bloom and Edonia celebrate with Earth at their coming together...

Wake up Infinitis, dear!

~Oh~ I had the most peculiar dream...
