                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Hello everyone, as much as I'd love to bask in the aftermath of AX-dom, I'm afraid I must replace my previous journal already. For the next two weeks I'll be traversing across Europe! Hurrah! I won't have time to go on the computer much by the looks of it, and I'm actually a bit bummed that I won't be able to draw much since I'm being shipped away. However, I'm sure it'll be fun.<br /><br />As for what's going on. I bought the Soul Eater Art Book, and I literally feel like I sold my soul to get that thing. (Excuse the pun). But seriously. It is godly, I'm seriously contemplating wearing gloves from now on whenever I touch it. It's beautiful. The latest chapter in the manga for Soul Eater has got me on a Soul Eater high. So amazing. I will not spoil anything for those who don't read but for those who do... join me please in a communal. "OMGAWD YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!"<br /><br />Very awesome, I love the new uniforms too, and Kid looks mighteh smexeh in one panel. -le swoon-.<br /><br />So my recent hype of Soul Eater really got me antsy to get back into Project Shibusen ==> <a href="http://projectshibusen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/projectshibusen.jpg" alt=":iconprojectshibusen:" title="projectshibusen"/></a><br /><br />However, my partner seems to kind of have moved on from the challenge. So I'm teaming up with the lovely and talented <a href="http://walkwithtime.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/a/walkwithtime.png" alt=":iconwalkwithtime:" title="walkwithtime"/></a>. I told her about it and she's totally down for the challenge. We already got four drawings completed of the 100! Hoorah! Blanc makes a come back, look forward to see a bunch of updates of him and Anna (new meister) when I get back <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />! <3<br /><br />I'll see you guys in two weeks!! <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Clubs:</b><br /><i>Yay for delurking on DA...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://lenaleexlavi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/e/lenaleexlavi.gif" alt=":iconlenaleexlavi:" title="lenaleexlavi"/></a> <a href="http://marker-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/a/marker-club.gif" alt=":iconmarker-club:" title="marker-club"/></a> <a href="http://ichiruki-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/c/ichiruki-club.gif" alt=":iconichiruki-club:" title="ichiruki-club"/></a> <a href="http://hitsuxhinafanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hitsuxhinafanclub.gif" alt=":iconhitsuxhinafanclub:" title="hitsuxhinafanclub"/></a> <a href="http://d-gray-man-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/_/d-gray-man-club.gif" alt=":icond-gray-man-club:" title="d-gray-man-club"/></a> <a href="http://roxas-x-namine-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/o/roxas-x-namine-club.gif" alt=":iconroxas-x-namine-club:" title="roxas-x-namine-club"/></a> <a href="http://soulxmakaclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/o/soulxmakaclub.gif" alt=":iconsoulxmakaclub:" title="soulxmakaclub"/></a><br /><br />Look more clubs <3<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Contests/Projects:</b><br /><i>To get the creative juices flowin'...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://projectshibusen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/projectshibusen.jpg" alt=":iconprojectshibusen:" title="projectshibusen"/></a><br />Check out my progress here: <a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/journal/20416466/">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Wow. What can I say? It was a really fun con. I bumped into a whole bunch of people from high school, dA, and even middle school. It was really a memorable experience.<br /><br />To start off, it was my first time at the Artist Alley, the first day I was alone, but for the rest of the time I was with the very talented <a href="http://whitecrow4545.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/h/whitecrow4545.png" alt=":iconwhitecrow4545:" title="whitecrow4545"/></a> . She was the one cranking out chibi portraits in 10 minutes. She was extremely popular <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />. I got visited by the lovely <a href="http://narutofan51.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/narutofan51.jpg?8" alt=":iconnarutofan51:" title="narutofan51"/></a> which I was able to show a preview of the current request I am doing for her. Meanwhile, throughout the con I also met up with <a href="http://supaemofrekk.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/u/supaemofrekk.jpg?1" alt=":iconsupaemofrekk:" title="supaemofrekk"/></a>, <a href="http://evilprodigyyip.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/v/evilprodigyyip.jpg?1" alt=":iconevilprodigyyip:" title="evilprodigyyip"/></a>, <a href="http://diskerror.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/i/diskerror.jpg" alt=":icondiskerror:" title="diskerror"/></a>, <a href="http://stresseddesserts.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/t/stresseddesserts.gif" alt=":iconstresseddesserts:" title="stresseddesserts"/></a>, and <a href="http://walkwithtime.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/a/walkwithtime.png" alt=":iconwalkwithtime:" title="walkwithtime"/></a> (who was my awesome Maka booth babe and my eternal AX traversing partner).<br /><br />It was lots of fun having a booth, so much I learned. For one thing, I overprinted like crazy. But on a good note I made enough to pay off for my $50 AX ticket, $50 table, and $170 in printing costs. So I was really pleased. Hahaha. But there were definitely some prints that just didn't do so hawt. And I know better now <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" />. I'm trying to look into PMX to see if they have an Artist Alley of sorts that I could also go too. Ho'well. We'll see what happens.<br /><br />I was kind of bummed out that I didn't get to wander as much and look at as many cosplays, but the table experience was definitely worth it. I got over my fear of drawing in front of people pretty quickly. Something I've been cursed with since I started drawing. Who knew that it would just take a con filled with thousands of people to get me over it. Hahaha. Well, I feel like my art has approved immensely from the experience just because I received a boost in confidence. I definitely know a little better as to what I'm getting myself into next year.<br /><br /><a href="http://ken12012.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/k/e/ken12012.jpg?1" alt=":iconken12012:" title="ken12012"/></a> was my wonderful helper who woke up every morning at like 7:30am to take me to the booth to setup! My eternal thanks he also got awesome pictures from cosplayers that I missed out seeing due to being stuck behind a booth. He also made an observation in saying that my art was really pretty different from most of the art in the Artist Alley. Which I guess is a good thing. xD.<br /><br />On another note. My cosplaying partner in crime <a href="http://walkwithtime.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/a/walkwithtime.png" alt=":iconwalkwithtime:" title="walkwithtime"/></a> and I decided on something. That we should work on cosplaying without intending for the costume to be for a con. Rather, that we should just make the costume for doing photoshoots and our own personal enjoyment of adding to our cosplaying wardrobes. Our current musing is to actually make a cosplay group of Soul Eater. I would cosplay Soul. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />. Whaddya think? Hahaha. <br /><br />Well, another AX gone. So many irreplaceable memories! Thank you for everyone who stopped by my booth! And thank you to people who purchased a print!<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Clubs:</b><br /><i>Yay for delurking on DA...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://lenaleexlavi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/e/lenaleexlavi.gif" alt=":iconlenaleexlavi:" title="lenaleexlavi"/></a> <... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Hello everyone! Been a while since I've updated! I've been busy making prints for Anime Expo this year. I will be selling with my friend <a href="http://whitecrow4545.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/h/whitecrow4545.png" alt=":iconwhitecrow4545:" title="whitecrow4545"/></a>. <br /><br />I'm really nervous =__=;;. I've been working nonstop since I got out of school on prints. it's surprisingly tough work but I'm happy xD.<br /><br />Before I forget, my table location is A48! You can find the map here: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://forums.anime-expo.org/index.php?showtopic=11335">[link]</a><br /><br />I'm near the front, and at the table end. Pretty lucky location! I just hope I don't look too n00b in front of everyone. >w<<br /><br />Well as for the prints I'll be selling: Mostly new stuff, but I was thinking about making prints of some existing work. Only some though.<br /><br />These are the only five I'm considering: <br /><br />Initially I wasn't going to use any of my existing work but I changed my mind after some persuading from some friends.<br /><br /><a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/art/DGM-Innocence-Invocation-75450924">[link]</a><br /><br />^So old! Personally I don't feel comfortable with it but at a second glance maybe it's not as bad as I fear?<br /><br /><a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/art/SE-Scythe-and-Technician-96247692">[link]</a><br /><br />^If there's anything I'm okay with in this gallery, it's this one to sell<br /><br /><a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/art/ATLA-The-Dragon-s-Phoenix-84398682">[link]</a><br /><br />^This is my most popular piece xD So old! So I think by default I should print this?<br /><br /><a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/art/DGM-LxL-Innocent-Bliss-95296118">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/art/DGM-LxL-Refuge-100785039">[link]</a><br /><br />^These two are some of my favorites. But does anyone like LaviLena xD?<br /><br />Anyhoo. I'll upload the pictures that I finished this past week eventually as well. Just know that I think they're lots better for the most part xD!<br /><br /><b><i>Opinions? Would you guys buy any of these as a print? xD.</i></b><br /><br />I've completed another Soul Eater, 2 matching bleach prints (ichiruki and hitsuhina), and a Vampire Knight print.<br /><br />I'm working on an Ouran one right now (Hikaru x Haruhi x Kaoru). Maybe a Naruto in the future?<br /><br />Any other suggestions?<br /><br />I'll be cosplaying as Kuchiki Rukia from Bleach again this year. I wasn't able to make a costume this year because I was working on the prints >w<. Gomen ne! Hopefully no one will mind having another Rukia run around the convention this year again?<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Clubs:</b><br /><i>Yay for delurking on DA...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://lenaleexlavi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/e/lenaleexlavi.gif" alt=":iconlenaleexlavi:" title="lenaleexlavi"/></a> <a href="http://marker-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/a/marker-club.gif" alt=":iconmarker-club:" title="marker-club"/></a> <a href="http://ichiruki-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/c/ichiruki-club.gif" alt=":iconichiruki-club:" title="ichiruki-club"/></a> <a href="http://hitsuxhinafanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hitsuxhinafanclub.gif" alt=":iconhitsuxhinafanclub:" title="hitsuxhinafanclub"/></a> <a href="http://d-gray-man-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/_/d-gray-man-club.gif" alt=":icond-gray-man-club:" title="d-gray-man-club"/></a> <a href="http://roxas-x-namine-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/o/roxas-x-namine-club.gif" alt=":iconroxas-x-namine-club:" title="roxas-x-namine-club"/></a> <a href="http://soulxmakaclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/o/soulxmakaclub.gif" alt=":iconsoulxmakaclub:" title="soulxmakaclub"/></a><br /><br />Look more clubs <3<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Contests/Projects:</b><br /><i>To get the creative juices flowin'...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://projectshibusen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/projectshibusen.jpg" alt=":iconprojectshibusen:" title="projectshibusen"/></a><br />Check out my progress here: <a href="http://cynicalplushie.deviantart.com/journal/20416466/">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />I had a fabulous spring break, I chopped off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.locksoflove.org">[link]</a> . Now I'm sporting a cherry-red bob xD. I feel very "light-headed". Forgive the pun! xD<br /><br />I also went with <a href="http://ken12012.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/ken12012.jpg?1" alt=":iconken12012:" title="ken12012"/></a> and <a href="http://seraphykknyght.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/seraphykknyght.jpg" alt=":iconseraphykknyght:" title="seraphykknyght"/></a> to the Utada Listening Party @ Hollywood's Sephora! I was extremely happy to show support for her new English album release. I'm in love with it <3. We unfortunately didn't get a picture or autograph since Utada had to catch a flight to New York. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> I was just happy to see her.<br /><br />And finally...<br /><br />I got a table at Anime Expo 2009's Artist Alley 0__0!<br /><br />Mixed feelings. I've been wanting this for so long. But I don't think my art has ever been in any more of a slump than it is now. Hopefully this will get me crackin' and drawing! Please, any ideas of prints are welcome and loved!<br /><br />Some possibilities: Code Geass, Vampire Knight, Bleach, Naruto... I must think in terms of things that would both be fun to draw and sell as well! (The table cost $100! Oy vey! Hopefully I can offset that in sales >w&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />I got honorable mention in the Bleach cosplay contest hosted by the talented <a href="http://akusesu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/k/akusesu.jpg?2" alt=":iconakusesu:" title="akusesu"/></a> .

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />You'd think that by the time you spend 14+ years of your life in school, being taught all these different things and being introduced to multiple things that could possibly interest you, you'd find some kind of focus.<br /><br />I'd hate to break it to you, but I believe this to be grossly unrealistic.<br /><br />I'm at this place in my life, where I feel that I should have some kind of direction, everyone's figuring out what they want to do with their lives, and are getting a start on working toward their goals. But for the most part, their dreams are practical ones. They are ambitious in their goals to become doctors, engineers, and scientists. <br /><br />I keep on coming back to the question. What does art play a role in my life? Am I good enough to take it seriously as a profession? Am I kidding myself?<br /><br />On one hand, the artistic world is a tough one, highly subjective and completely unreliable when competing with thousands of other talented people. And then there's the other hand, every profession will be filled with competition. Might as well spend the time competing with something you want to do.<br /><br />In the end, I want to spend the rest of my life dedicated to something I LOVE to do. It's frustrating.<br /><br />WTF am I gonna do.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />Fandom's been on a low guys. ;__;<br /><br />I'm trying my luck in my first cosplay contest of sorts hosted by the talented <a href="http://akusesu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/k/akusesu.jpg?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconakusesu:" title="akusesu"/></a> . Yipes!

I'm so horrible -__-.<br /><br />Not much has happened since my last entry. I'm trying to finish up stuff. I feel so bad, I say I'll accept requests, and then I procrastinate for like months. But anyway. I'm just happy I still have time to draw at all. <br /><br />I've been taking a VisArt class here. It's kept me on my feet in the sense that it gets me off my lazy ass and forces me to keep some of my skills... like.. there xD.<br /><br />Emotionally it's been kind of rollercoaster-y.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />So. I've officially moved into my dorm and gotten settled at school. Roommates are awesome. Suitemates are awesome. Classes have not started, so it is, by default, awesome as well. <br /><br />Everyone at my school seems really awesome. I'm anxious yet nervous to start classes. And my roommates and suitemates totally surprised me by being pretty into anime and cosplay.<br /><br />I'm not so sure if I could get any of them to cosplay with me in a group or anything though, but it's awesome nonetheless. <br /><br />I will be checking out the Anime club on campus. xD Seeing if I can handle the fandom. Might be a bit overwhelming given the fact that I'm not used to hanging out with a group of people who can relate to gushing about anime.<br /><br />I'm happy. But, unfortunately, the trade off is that I've been pretty busy so I hope I can still finish the commisions and the <a href="http://projectshibusen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/projectshibusen.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconprojectshibusen:" title="projectshibusen"/></a><br /><br />xD Fun.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />So I inhaled about 4 entire series as summer came to a close. I got caught up with KHR manga and watched the anime up to eighty-something of the sort. Watched Vampire Knight. Watched Code Geass both seasons (waiting for the last two episodes of the 2nd season). And Soul Eater. And D.Gray-Man.<br /><br />Ahhh... so relaxing to be able to geek out so much. <br /><br />Code Geass is amazing.<br /><br /><b>Future cosplay possibilites?</b><br /><br /><b><i>Lenalee Lee</i></b> - <i> D.Gray-man</i><br /><b><i>Lal Milch</i></b> - <i> Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!</i><br /><b><i>Hyuuga Hinata</i></b> - <i>Naruto Shippuuden</i><br /><b><i>Sohma Rin</i></b> - <i>Fruits Basket</i><br /><b><i>Enma Ai</i></b> - <i>Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)</i><br /><b><i>Ichihara Yuuko</i></b> - <i>xxxHolic</i><br /><br /><b>Current Fandom:</b> Geasssssssssss.<br /><b>Next Anime to Watch:</b> Gurren Lagann<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Requests</b> <br /><br /><a href="http://justinee.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/u/justinee.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjustinee:" title="justinee"/></a><br /><br /><b>Collaborations</b><br /><br />-Death the Kid and Soul Eater collabing with <a href="http://losttaijiya.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/o/losttaijiya.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlosttaijiya:" title="losttaijiya"/></a><br /><br />If you would like to Collaborate drop me a note or just respond to this journal entry.<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Clubs:</b><br /><i>Yay for delurking on DA...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://lenaleexlavi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/e/lenaleexlavi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlenaleexlavi:" title="lenaleexlavi"/></a> <a href="http://marker-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/marker-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmarker-club:" title="marker-club"/></a> <a href="http://ichiruki-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/c/ichiruki-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconichiruki-club:" title="ichiruki-club"/></a> <a href="http://hitsuxhinafanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/hitsuxhinafanclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhitsuxhinafanclub:" title="hitsuxhinafanclub"/></a> <a href="http://d-gray-man-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/_/d-gray-man-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icond-gray-man-club:" title="d-gray-man-club"/></a> <a href="http://roxas-x-namine-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/o/roxas-x-namine-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconroxas-x-namine-club:" title="roxas-x-namine-club"/></a> <a href="http://soulxmakaclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/o/soulxmakaclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsoulxmakaclub:" title="soulxmakaclub"/></a><br /><br />Look more clubs <3<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Contests/Projects:</b><br /><i>To get the creative juices flowin'...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://projectshibusen.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/projectshibusen.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconprojectshibusen:" title="projectshibusen"/></a><br />Check out... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Most of my friends have left off for college-land. I'm a bit lonely. But I'm also excited with the new promise of a new environment. I'm excited to go to college. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />. My two roommates seem really awesome, which is a relief, I hope we all get along well. <br /><br />I have a class at 8:00am.-bonk- xD. Such a bummer. But it's an art class that's only available once a year and is required if I want to take any other advanced art classes. I won't be able to take Japanese this quarter after all. -cries-<br /><br />Nerdily enough, one of the things I kind of have been pondering about is the fresh new pool of people I'll be meeting. It would be lovely if I could stumble upon some cosplayers in the area. Cosplaying seems so much more fun with a big group. I kind of had a group this year at AX, but it was moreso just me making all the costumes for free, and getting minimal gratitude -stifling irritation-. And the lovely and talented sewing master <a href="http://walkwithtime.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/a/walkwithtime.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwalkwithtime:" title="walkwithtime"/></a> totally helping me every step of the way. (Alas! The wonder known as a sewing machine <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />)<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />I've caught up on a few different anime. Vampire Knight, Special A, sort of D.Gray-Man...(I'm saving these in times of intense desperation, must ration out episodes so they last longer xD).<br /><br />D.Gray-Man. Back in the front seat. More specifically Lavi and Lenalee pairing. Oh Gawsh. I always ship the less popular pairings. >w<.<br /><br />I see such little love for this pairing. xD<br /><br />Oh, yes, Soul Eater is made of all things wintastic. Do love.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Anime Expo 2008 was definitely one of the best cons ever. In fact it was one of the best couple days ever. I was just really happy I could hang out with some friends doing what I love before I left for a month. <br /><br />I've been in Taipei, Taiwan for about a week. It's been alright. Kind of hectic. I'm in a studying abroad camp with a bunch of kids from around the world. Yes, hectic indeed.<br /><br />I miss my friends.<br /><br />Taiwan nightmarkets are love. Shopping is love. Eating is love. I'm going to be so fat. The only downside is that all of the clothes comes in size "teeny weeny asian girl". <br /><br />G'damnit.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />Being Rukia was lots of fun. Look forward to a photoshoot when I get back kids.<br /><br />Our Ichigo, Sado, and Hitsugaya were pretty awesome too. kudos to them, I didn't think we could pull it off.<br /><br />Will post pictures eventually.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />I'm officially no longer a high school student. Woooh! Hahaha. Makes me kind of sad. And kind of happy.<br /><br />This sounds awful, but lately I've been to preoccupied with AX preparations to really sit and feel nostalgic. I finished my friends shinigami uniform, and am currently finishing up a Karakura school girl uniform. I still have to style 2 wigs and finish one costume as well as fix up an old one that's being recycled for the 3rd year in a row.<br /><br />I got a fancy new laptop and that's what I'm using now. I absolutely love it. I'm pretty much attached at the hip with it. It doesn't help that I already spent a ridiculous amount of time on the computer, now that it can MOVE around with me wherever I go, I'm doomed. It is red. And sexy. I named it Riingo.<br /><br />Anime Expo = pretty much what I'm obsessed with right now.<br />And then I'll be off to Taiwan for a month or so.<br /><br />I'll miss you all!<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />OMFG. Hold everything.<br /><br />I LEARNED HOW TO USE A SEWING MACHINE.<br /><br />Yay for no more hand-sewn costumes! yay!

It was actually really easy. I don't know what I've been doing this whole time!<br />Fun!! and Fast!<br /><br />So yes. Ridiculously excited about AX that's only in a couple of days. Yay! <br /><br />I'm going to do my ritualistic reading of Dramacon the night before the con. I read it before my first con, and the second, and now the third.<br /><br />Pfft. Don't laugh at me! It's every anime-nerd's secret wish to meet a hot cosplayer. >w<. Just Kidding guys.... kind of. xD<br /><br />I finally watched FLCL. Fucking.

Makes me happy <3.<br /><br />I graduate in about two weeks. Bye bye High School! Mixed feelings in truth.

I want to draw Rukia-chan <3.<br /><br />Cosplay plans have been hi-jacked by my resurfacing fandoms.<br /><br />I'll be doing Kuchiki Rukia for AX'08. Silly I know, what stopped me from doing it last year was the fact that I was too tall. But, I might have a group-thing going on, and in that sense my height won't be TOO inappropriate. Our Chad is like crazy tall. >w<.<br /><br />As for Lenalee... I'm not sure if I'll have time for her after all. But I'll do her eventually so I don't waste the pleather I bought. >w<.<br /><br /><b>Working on:</b>  <b><i>Kuchiki Rukia</i></b> - <i>BLEACH (school girl uniform?)</i><br /><br /><b>Future cosplay?</b><br /><br /><b><i>Lenalee Lee</i></b> - <i> D.Gray-man</i><br /><b><i>Lal Milch</i></b> - <i> Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!</i><br /><b><i>Hyuuga Hinata</i></b> - <i>Naruto Shippuuden</i><br /><b><i>Sohma Rin</i></b> - <i>Fruits Basket</i><br /><b><i>Enma Ai</i></b> - <i>Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)</i><br /><b><i>Ichihara Yuuko</i></b> - <i>xxxHolic</i><br /><br /><b>Current Fandom:</b> Maka from Soul Eater makes me want to learn how to fight with a scythe.<br /><br /><b>Next Anime to Watch:</b> Soul Eater<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Gaia Commissions Status:</b> <br /><i>currently:</i> not taking anymore orders<br />(3/3) orders completed<br />Working on: nothing <br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Clubs:</b><br /><i>Yay for delurking on DA...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://lenaleexlavi.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/e/lenaleexlavi.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlenaleexlavi:" title="lenaleexlavi"/></a> <a href="http://marker-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/marker-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmarker-club:" title="marker-club"/></a> <a href="http://ichiruki-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/i/c/ichiruki-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconichiruki-club:" title="ichiruki-club"/></a> <a href="http://hitsuxhinafanclub.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/i/hitsuxhinafanclub.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhitsuxhinafanclub:" title="hitsuxhinafanclub"/></a> <a href="http://d-gray-man-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/_/d-gray-man-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icond-gray-man-club:" title="d-gray-man-club"/></a> <a href="http://roxas-x-namine-club.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/o/roxas-x-namine-club.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconroxas-x-namine-club:" title="roxas-x-namine-club"/></a><br /><br />Look more clubs <3<br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Contests:</b><br /><i>To get the creative juices flowin'...</i><br /><br />[    ] Roxas x Namine summer contest<br />[    ] Should I join those listy prompt things?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />I got into college! Woohoo! I was bummed at first because I kind of got rejected by UCLA, USC, and Berkeley.<br /><br />/cry<br /><br />Man I ate so much ice cream xD. But I decided to go to UCSD in the end. Woohoo! Go Tritons! <3<br /><br />Anyway, I have an "artwork" folder on my desktop filled with all my sketches, lineart, and colored stuff.<br /><br />I usually upload just the colored stuff. But I was thinking... aww. that's a pity since I think the lineart and sketches tend to turn out better. So I guess I'll try uploading all my old lineart, and then scrapping them after I've uploaded the colored version when I get to it.<br /><br />Such old lineart 0___o .<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />Recently got back into Naruto fanfiction.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />So, for the past couple of weeks I've been taking Pasadena Art Center's Costume Figure Drawing on Saturday mornings. It makes my busy Saturdays loads busier, but it's totally worth it.<br /><br />As expected from a class at Art Center, I've seen immediate results in my artwork, and it has inspired me beyond what I could have possibly imagined. <br /><br />Our male model for most of the time is the lovely guy called John Tucker, and I swear that I've never been more in love with anyone in my life xD.<br /><br />(mind you he's a grandpa, but I love him anyway >w&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />My latest deviation shows off some of the stuff we've been working on. I love it.<br /><br />Made me want to buy a sketchbook. So I did. <br /><br />Now the challenge is actually using it.<br /><br />Oh and my wig came in xD. Still in the process of styling it though.<br /><br />I find out about colleges soon-ish too. Wish me luck xD!<br /><br />Oh yes, and I finally finished reading Battle Royale. Most epic book ever.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />John Tucker xD <3 <3 <3 <3<br /><br />Hahhaa, just fiddling around with a more realistic style in general with my art. <br /><br />Oh yes, and the webcomic idea is back on I think. xD<br />Be sure to stay tuned for some of the character sketches and splash pages that will be turning up in my gallery.<br /><br />Latest D.GM chapters are totally hinting at Lavi x Lenalee.

Think about patterns, designs, characters, props, wigs, contacts, boots, materials...<br /><br />And of course Anime Expo. I can't wait to go again <3.<br /><br />I for sure have one costume I'm going to wear, but am contemplating on wearing another as well xD. We'll see.<br /><br />So, after my birthday, I received lots of funds for my cosplay ambitions, so it's going to be really fun. xD. I feel a bit guilty, but hell, the money was meant for me to indulge, and indulge I shall!!!! >D.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br /><b>COSPLAY.</b><br /><br />I can't get away from it, it's all I do to entertain me.<br />And it's really good since it's inspired me to get more in shape so I don't look like jabba the hut at AX xD.<br /><br />I've been walking/jogging 2 miles a day, 4 days a week.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br /><i>What's been going on...</i><br /><br />Huzzah! It's January. My Birthday is coming up (January 29th). Anyone want to draw me some birthday art?<br /><br />It's the one time of year that I can demand some art from people xD.<br /><br />Anything at all would be appreciated.<br /><br />Fanart of my favorite pairings or characters would be awesome.<br /><br />Lavi x Lenalee - D.Grayman<br />Ichigo x Rukia - Bleach<br />Hitsugaya x Hinamori - Bleach<br />Sasuke x Sakura - Naruto<br />Kakashi x Sakura - Naruto<br />Hikaru x Haruhi x Kaoru - Ouran<br />Kyon x Haruhi - Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<br />Itsuki x Yuki - Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<br />Zuko x Katara -Avatar: The Last Airbender<br />Roxas x Namine - KH II<br /><br />Uhhh, I support a lot of other ones, but those are the big ones. <br /><br />(Put down because requested xD)<br /><br /><br />If you do it I'll make not to return the favor when it comes to your birthday xD. I guess. Maybe.<br /><br />I recently went to Little Tokyo and ran around for fun with my friends after visiting the Murakami exhibit for the 2nd time. I bought two little Murakami keychains (The dino and the crack smiley flower). Then we went to an anime store, and I bought my awesome Puzzle Fighter bag. Then I bought a pill box to hold pills in. It was a really cute pill box too xD.<br /><br />My friends totally wiped out the stores of Pocky, Pretz, and Konpeito.<br /><br />We had some awesome Soba. So refreshing!<br /><br />Such a fun day. And lots of exercise too. I want to go back again.<br /><br />xD.<br /><br />I really should start worrying about my finals.<br /><br />I'm thinking about scrapping my webcomic idea "See No Evil" because the new movie "The Eye" came out, and the concept is similar (Though the stories are really different).<br /><br />(I'm aware that "The Eye" was a remake of another japanese movie guys xD)<br /><br />So if you think I should scrap it and go with another idea for a webcomic, tell me. Or perhaps I should do a doujin first.<br /><br />Yea, I think I might do that.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><b>Obsessions:</b><br /><i>My fandom is so high...</i><br /><br />My new camera. Which only reinforces my love of cosplay. Unhealthy.<br /><br />Photography is Love <3<br /><br />Retro games - my uncle just got an arcade game system in his home.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br />
<i>What's been going on...</i><br />
<br />
I finished my college apps. I only applied to a few schools in state. A part of me would have loved to go east but seriously. It's too freakin' cold over there. I'm just hoping I get into the school that I was aiming for. Senior year has been pretty mellow. I'm doing well... enough that is.<br />
<br />
Personally, I think I've been slacking. But looking back I've done a lot since the start of the semester. Also, I've been updating my art more frequently.<br />
<br />
Oh yes, I plan on launching a webcomic around January, entitled "See No Evil".<br />
<br />
Please do take a look at it. <br />
<br />
As for a portfolio, I didn't bother. Personally I lacked time to make the material they were looking for. I think I'll just try to get into a school, get a foundation and then pursue art if I stil love it.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<b>Obsessions:</b><br />
<i>My fandom is so high...</i><br />
<br />
Still obsessed with D.Grayman. <br />
<br />
I personally just love the characters I think. The story line isn't especially captivating. But the characters are just too amazing.<br />
<br />
I've been browsing cosplays even more frequently as of late.<br />
<br />
Currently I think I'm probably going to cosplay as Time Skip Hinata Hyuuga and Lenalee Li from DGM.<br />
<br />
Cosplay is addicting and totally not healthy.<br />
<br />
<b>Current Fandom:</b> Lavi and Lenalee in action poses.<br />
<br />
<b>Next Anime to Watch:</b> Buh... maybe I should dig out something old and re-watch it?<br />
<br />

<b>Featured Artists:</b><br />
<i>People who deserve a double-take...</i><br />
<br />
I'm fully aware that a lot of people don't tend to reply to my journal, but maybe some people glimpse at my entries? Whatever it may be. I made a promise to some friends that I would feature them, so here I go!<br />
<br />
First up.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://losttaijiya.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/o/losttaijiya.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconlosttaijiya:" title="losttaijiya"/></a> <b>LostTaijiya: Copic Buddy and Cell Shade Stylin'</b><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Updates:</b><br />
<i>What's been going on...</i><br />
<br />
In my previous entry I tried to feature 10 DA artists. I didn't even get that many replies so. xD I guess if you really think me featuring would help you at all go ahead and note me asking me to do so.<br />
<br />
However, since I do believe that I don't have much influence, I'll be putting future featureing on a hiatus I guess.<br />
<br />
Well, I had wanted to do a portfolio initially, but then stuff got complicated, and then I didn't want to make a premature decision anout the DesMA major at UCLA without checking it out first. <br />
<br />
I think I'm going to try to be a little bit more organized in my journal posts. I've also decided to become more active on DA. Joining clubs on such (Currently only one, but working on a few more!)<br />
<br />
I guess I'm too self-conscious of the quality of my work. But slowly and surely I'm starting to care less.<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<b>Obsessions:</b><br />
<i>My fandom is so high...</i><br />
<br />
Recently I've been getting into D.Grayman. It's ridiculous. I ordered volumes 4-7 of the manga series since there was a deal on the Barnes and Noble site. Something about fast and free shipping, actually took about a week and a half. Should be coming today. The only thing I'm looking forward to actually.<br />
<br />
Other than that, I suffered from two days without internet. So I got into Kingdom Hearts II and Solitaire. KH II. I never finished it, so I guess getting back into it is understandable. But, wtf? Solitaire? Surprisingly addicting, I swear.<br />
<br />
<b>Current Fandom:</b> Lavi x Lenalee<br />
<br />
<b>Next Anime to Watch:</b> Chrono Crusade? (Any other suggestions?)<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Recently I was featured in Reiko's journal because I had commented in her Deviant Feature entry. So now it's my turn...<br />
<br />
Here are the rules taken from<br />
<a href="http://reikoxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/reikoxx.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconreikoxx:" title="reikoxx"/></a><br />
<br />
"The first ten people who reply to this journal get put up here, along with three of my favorite deviations by them. The catch is: You have to put this in your journal as well! I'm going to make it a rule that you'll also have to comment on the journal content too, so comments that are just like "OH FEATURE ME" won't suffice."<br />
<br />
-ahem-<br />
<br />
Never done something like this before, but I was extremely appreciative of the attention that I gained because of Reiko-chan's feature. So I hope to do the same for others though no one really reads my journal much.<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://stresseddesserts.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/t/stresseddesserts.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconstresseddesserts:" title="stresseddesserts"/></a> Yes I shall feature you xD.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a while since I last posted anything, but a lot has happened. I finished junior year and was able to scrape together a decent result for my efforts. However the only thing impressive is my GPA (which unfortunately isn't very impressive).<br />
<br />
Current Weighted GPA stands at: 4.02<br />
<br />
Hahahaha, I barely hit my goal xD. But I suppose I can get into a UC with that, how good of a UC depends on if I can bring everything else up to par.<br />
<br />
Coming with the end of the year, graduation season came too. I couldn't go to the seniors' high school graduation but I did get the chance to go to my sister's college graduation thing. It was an experience that was pretty crazy and interesting and makes the high school graduation look overly sentimental.<br />
<br />
After school ended, I had three major concerns: Get my CATAP teaching material done, finish my and Nancy's costumes for AX'07, and buy all the stuff I needed for my CATAP trip.<br />
<br />
If you didn't already know, CATAP stands for Chinese Americans Teaching Abroad Program, or at least I think it does. I'll be going to China for a month to teach English to kids at a school near Shanghai. It'll be a fun experience, and I'm totally pumped and leaving tomorrow, which is partially the reason I decided to post, to give an excuse for my lack of posting for the next month since I don't know if I will be able to access my computer.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I just got back from 2 AMAZING days of Anime Expo 2007 goodness. I cosplayed as Haruno Sakura from Naruto Shippuuden, and I also made Nancy's costume for Kuchiki Byakuya from Bleach.<br />
<br />
I got a lot of picture requests so it was really fun, but I think the most memorable one was the one where a family asked to take a picture with me i had like a Dad and three kids surrounding me and felt like Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. Hahahha.<br />
<br />
I bought lots of lovelies. 3 awesome prints. (one from the lovely <a href="http://o-renji.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/_/o-renji.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icono-renji:" title="o-renji"/></a> and <a href="http://tobiee.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/o/tobiee.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontobiee:" title="tobiee"/></a>) another from  1 sweater. 2 Doujins. Total damage about $120.<br />
<br />
We stayed for one night in the Marriot in Long Beach and I shared a room with Nancy, Ken, Michael, and Jackie(<a href="http://walkwithtime.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/a/walkwithtime.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwalkwithtime:" title="walkwithtime"/></a>). OMG. So fun. I can't wait to do it again next year. So many memories.<br />
<br />
I also saw my friend Shushan(<a href="http://sarith-mcgregor.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sarith-mcgregor.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsarith-mcgregor:" title="sarith-mcgregor"/></a>) in the artist alley selling her amazing prints! I was so excited hahaha. xD<br />
<br />
I'll post pictures later since I'm too damn lazy.<br />
<br />
Amidst all the recent highs, I also witnessed one of my lows. Unfortunately for the first time I suffered from a death from someone close to me in my family. It was an awkward and unique experience that I don't really feel like expanding upon.<br />
<br />
What a summer, and it's only just started. I'll see everyone in a month when I get back from China! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Call me stupid, but up until now everything I've drawn up until recently was really hard for me to get out. I used to be so afraid, spazzing over making everything the exact proportion it should be, but in the end the results still had mistakes. I came to realize that if I just let myself go I get the same results, and it's loads more enjoyable and so much easier. Yea, so I'm sorry if that doesn't make much sense but here's the translation.<br />
<br />
I feel optimistic about drawing again.<br />
<br />
I'm a shy person when it comes to art, I'm easily intimidated. I've come to accept the fact that I will not be the best artist in the whole entire world, and to demand perfection at this point from myself is just self-destructive, to myself as an artist as well as myself as a person.<br />
<br />
I'm learning to let go. To just let what I want to draw come out when I want to draw it.<br />
<br />
And quite honestly, it feels good.<br />
<br />
I used to not even attempt perspective drawing because I knew it wouldn't be good. But avoiding it wasn't getting me anywhere, I'm happy, in short.<br />
<br />
So in the end, this Spring Break was quite a revelation to me, too bad the timing was poor because I have 3 AP tests to study for, SATs, SAT II, ACT, and finals leering in the next couple of months.<br />
<br />
But now that I feel less pressure when I draw, I think I've stumbled upon a way to make myself happier.<br />
<br />
I honestly want to thank all the people that watch me, and also those who are take interest enough in some of my work to fav them! Thank you!<br />
<br />
I'm approaching my 2000th page view. Not much to many, I know, but it's an achievement in itself.<br />
<br />
I'm going to try posting in this more often. xD.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow. Junior year has been really tough on me, but this Winter Break, I got so many things that I've wanted I feel spoiled to pieces.<br />
<br />
First of all, I got a lovely set of COPIC markers, and I'm completely smitten with them. I've only colored one piece with them but the outcome made me really excited to try drawing more with them.<br />
<br />
I also got a Tiffany's Elsa Peretti "Eternal Circle" necklace. I wear it everywhere xD.<br />
<br />
I also got a Harajuku Lovers' purse that I had been eyeing for a while, yes, now people can't make fun of me for my ghetto hobo target purse for 5 bucks.<br />
<br />
Yay. I'm completely spoiled to death, but in contrast we didn't celebrate Christmas this year so those were sort of like my Christmas presents. woot.<br />
<br />
Man, this coming year is going to be tough as hell. But...<br />
<br />
OMFG COPICS.<br />
<br />
Is all I can think about.<br />
<br />
I'm going to try updating my journal more, since it's pretty useful <3<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was looking back at where I hoard all my sketches and such, and as I was flipping through I constantly was like...<br />
<br />
"Oh I like this... I should  finish it."<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
"This looks nice, wtf? When did I draw this?"<br />
<br />
Well, I've come to terms with myself, I figure if I make a to do list of this work, I'll be less reluctant in shoving back into the abyss of my sketches.<br />
<br />
So here we go, and lets see how this will make out.<br />
<br />
(in no order.)<br />
<br />
1. Ichi x Ru pic - sketch<br />
2. Hitsu x Hina - half-way sketch<br />
3. KH2 Gag Comic - sketch<br />
4. Roxas x Namine - sketch<br />
5. Howl x Sophie - sketch<br />
<br />
I'll stop writing before I get scared of my list and run away in fear of it.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up popping out in that order either.<br />
<br />
Whats with pairings, eh? My lack of summer romance is surfacing, I have to make up for it here, or just regular, healthy fangirl ness.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when I draw romantic scenes I get all embarassed and shove them away, so I have yet to show a couple artwork with blatant romantic content, but one of them is up there... so we'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I still am pretty shy when I draw those kinds of things, like a five-year old feeling awkward watching a major make out scene in a movie-- that kinda deal.<br />
<br />
I made a couple of new friends on dA recently! Some from LJ communities, ah, the bond of fandom.<br />
<br />
Take care all. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately, I realized how much I missed using markers as a media.<br />
My mother, much to my surprise, agreed to letting me by some neopiko markers. <br />
I'm nothing short of ecstatic!<br />
I know it'll take lots of diligent practice, so I hope that I won't be too disappointed if the outcome isn't as I imagine (glorify more like) in my mind to be.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid that I may just be using markers because of my frustration with CGing, since I lack patience for something that I can't control in front of me.<br />
<br />
I need practice, I know that. It's a matter of facing things it and acting upon it that needs work.<br />
<br />
Things to look forward to...<br />
<br />
I plan on doing beverage/snack themed people... okay, now before you raise an eyebrow in inquiry... I'll upload the first one once I'm finished and I guess the theme will be a bit more clear.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />
<br />
Remember guys and gals, never give up doing something you love, lately, I've been sulking from my lack of talent compared to others on DA, but... a truly strong artist is( or would seem to be) someone who is strong enough to believe in themselves to fuel their creation.<br />
<br />
Keep at it, I'm rooting for all of you, and I hope that you guys are watching after me too, just wait, I'll get better! <br />
<br />
I promise! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've decided to be a little less selective of my art that I post on Deviantart.<br />
<br />
Face it.<br />
<br />
My work usually looks much better in pencil and ink. I'm not a good... colorer.<br />
<br />
xD<br />
<br />
Slow and steady! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I want to draw.<br />
<br />
No I don't, it's too much work.<br />
<br />
Argh.<br />
<br />
Why do I constantly feel that I don't have time for anything, when I know that I have plenty of time if I wanted to do something?<br />
<br />
Hmm... I want to sketch a lot more.<br />
<br />
I need the practice. <br />
<br />
I will get better, promise. ]]></description>
