First of all, I’m sorry for being late coming back to DA. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my 1st week of hols after being freed from exams! Woo hoo! Christmas was just great. It’s my favourite celebration of all.

Please forgive my absence with the submission of my newest piece. Though it’s not SxS but I hope people’ll like it, cos I love Vampire Knight! Just wanna share it with everyone!! Share the luuuurrrvvvveee!! :boogie: :dance:

I’ll be going out of town for a day, but I’ll be back Sunday to get started on
1. replying long overdue mails
2. visiting friend’s pages to spam…..er….I mean drop some messages and comments
3. browsing the new TRC fanart!!
4. joining new clubs?
5. more fanart (this may take a while ^^;)

Alright, that’s it! See you guys around!!

 ]]> ~mintleaf-MT Once again, back for a short moment in time ^_^ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/19951540/ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/19951540/ Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:45:35 PDT
First of all, just wanna say I’m really sorry for doing stuff like that. I don’t know when I’ll be busy and when I will have time. I’ve just started my holidays (exams are oveeeerrr!! Yeesss!!) which are for two weeks. Yes, two weeks! (measly I kno :( I bet other uni people get months of break after a major exam) But I won’t complain! I will use this hols to try to improve!! Uh-huh!



Now….where do I start….;p I’m really glad to return to DA to find that it has once again changed its layout thus forcing me once again to get used to it. But it is beautiful. I’m also delighted to find, upon returning, an array of wonderful spam messages on my front page! It’s so nice to be remembered. :XD: Haha. :rofl:


Well, on another note, I may be adding other non-TRC fanart to the gallery from now on but I will still do SxS from time to time. I was thinking of going into anime and manga that I’ve read and seen. They’re pretty mainstream cos I tend to like the ones most people have seen, watched and liked (hehe, more towards shoujo ;p). I won’t name em (too many) but it would be refreshing to branch out for once. To mark the event, I may come up with a new icon!! Well, since we all know how SLOOOW I am at doing stuff, this probably will be my plan over the next 10 years on DA! :rofl: :rofl:



Everyone’s been improving so much in their work. Yes, I do go to your galleries, even when I never log in to mine. So I do go to see your works (even if I don’t comment at the time). Really amazing, you people on DA. I’m so glad to be around all of you. Your artworks really inspire me.

DA rules!! :XD: :dance: :boogie:

 ]]> ~mintleaf-MT Baaaack! For this short moment in time... http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/17141489/ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/17141489/ Sun, 02 Mar 2008 00:11:29 PST WOW, I’ve been dead for ages!!! How is everyone?? DA’s really changed.

Etto….I’m really sorry for being away for so long and not coming up with any pieces. I had this previous week off so I was able to work on some stuff. I took a looong break from doing fanart and went back to doodling and analyzing a bit more on anatomy (mine’s not totally great yet ^^"… )

From now on most of my works will be inked before being scanned (I really had tough times vectoring the lineart last time). After so long, I’ve realized I really can’t get anywhere near to CLAMP’s coloring style so I’m sorta sticking to my own (since digital can’t totally imitate markers or watercolours. Even if it could, I don’t know how to make it so).

Actually I was kinda afraid of logging in cos I kno I’ve left for like…..forever, and there’s gonna be a tonne of messages waiting for me (like on everyone’s new works and journal entries and comments and messages, aaaaaaahhhhhhh). I’m sorry if I can’t attend to them all, but I’ll try my best to reply or comment (albeit like, a year overdue ^^' )

The thing is, I’ve been secretly visiting my front page without logging in whenever i'm free from time to time, jz to see the gallery (cos I only hv time to look). So I’ve pretty much been upping my own pageviews,…..I’m so pathetiiiiiic, *bawls* :faint: :dead:

Anyways, I gtg. Will be back nxt time I get my big break. Going back to the place with shoddy internet connection. Ciaoz!


*****TAG*******
I was tagged by :icontsubasa-faye:

The rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1. I'm a sadist. (Sorry, ;p but I am) I like drama, melancholy and angst, but only as long as they have happy endings ^_^

2. I like music that makes me feel like I'm in a different world...something giving a surreal feel....(eg Utada Hikaru's new age style/Kino's Journey soundtrack, non-english songs) :dance:

3. I never used to draw much till I discovered TRC. I guess learning how to draw and photoshop was a way of releasing addiction (still is). :nod:

4. I am not an art student, nor am I doing anything related. My art really sucked when I was in school. That's why knowing how to produce pieces like this now is something I really cherish from the bottom of my heart :love:

5. I'm now living in a place away from home which has lousy connection but really good food.

6. I tend not to kill insects (eg cockroaches or ants) found at home cos I pity em and value their life. I just scoop em up in a container and throw em outside, faaaaar from the house - well, maybe nearer to the neighbours' :XD: (this is a recycled fact).

7. I'm still afraid of balloons, cos when I was young, one burst near to me and gave me a shock. I'm traumatized to this day (recycled fact)

8. I don't really like talking about myself so much at one go. Did u notice the last 7 sentences began with "I"??? :XD: ;p Lol

I now tag.....*dum dum dum dum*
:iconsakuraanddaphne::iconmelmoon:http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/13505975/ Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:26:02 PDT ***spoiler****

I just watched it! (Yea, I kno I'm a little late lolz since it was out like, last year) And the ending's sooooo sad. I'm so sad for poor Syao.....er....I mean Suzaku. I really didn't expect anyone to die....well, anyone in the lead group anyway. Sigh. I feel so sad for him. But I thought they animated his crying scene at the end really well. ;p Sadness can be so beautiful. *sniff*

*sigh* u kno what.....THAT's what syaoran should've looked and moved like in an anime.

Anyway, on a brighter note I really enjoyed watching it. The soundtrack is GREAT. Love most of the openings and endings. AND some songs by Hitomi Kuroishi were nice too! The seiyuu are really amazing! They did so well. The voicer who did Lelouch also did Watanuki rite?? And the one who voiced Suzaku also voiced Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou. :XD: I didn't recognise em for a while there. That's how good they were, being able to change voices between anime :excited:

My fav girl has got to be Cz. Lolz. Cos she's kinda mysterious and she's got character. She reminds me of Zefiris from Scrapped Princess (also my fav in that series). Guess who's my fave guy character? Muahaha. That's an easy one.

Ok, enough ranting, lolz. ^^;



:boogie: I've been tagged by :icontaziko:!! :boogie:

Im not a boy...

11. When is your birthday?
November 6

23. How... ]]> ~mintleaf-MT Tsubasa OVA!! Yeeesss!!! http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/13326940/ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/13326940/ Wed, 13 Jun 2007 08:34:02 PDT It says so on [link] !! OVA is confirmed!! :boogie:

I really hope that's true! Frankly speaking I was upset over how the anime series by bee train butchered the manga. I'm glad they cancelled season 3. Any more of that and I'd be really bummed. Of course the anime had its good parts (not much tho). That dumb bus-ride episode never should have existed. (No offense to the anime-lovers I hope ^^;) Thus even tho I think Sakura's anime hair color is nice, I still color her hair in orange to show support for the original manga character (and movie). :XD: Lolz. Weird way to show support huh?

But I must say the movie was awesome! THAT's what TRC animation should be like. Smooth flowing with no obvious changes in facial anatomy (and character personalities and relationships). I hope Production IG (main group) takes over for the OVA. Tho Madhouse doing it would be cool too. (Can't wait to see the TRC characters in CLAMP in Wonderland).


Anyways, enough ranting ;p Lolz. Just spreading the good news :dance: about the new OVA due 2008. :XD: Rejoice, everyone!! :boogie: :clap: :highfive:





:star:I've been tagged by :iconxxj0yl0venimexx: to list 6 weird things about myself. Yaaay, my 1st tag! Lolz :XD: :star:

I couldn't think up any weird stuff about myself so I asked my family members and they gave it to me straight! Lolz. And they came up with so many without thinking much! (some of which I won't post here cos they're kinda....embarasing. :rofl:) I on the other hand, was busting my brain trying to think up the answers. Anyway, here goes....


1. I used to feed the ants in my house when I was really young
Yea, something like rearing them up. Lolz. I followed a trail back to their nest (a hole at the base of a wall) and after that, from time to time, would drop bread crumbs or sugar at the front of the hole. (and sometimes, I drop a bit of water too ;p) Weird huh?

2. I don't kill/allow anyone to kill the cockroaches in my house
Lolz. Yea, u can tell by now I love animals and appreciate their lives. Albeit a bit weird. When we find vermin like cockroaches or rats in the house, I tell (or rather, beg) my family members not to kill em. After they catch em, they leave em to me. I'd just put the roaches in a container (the rats are caught in a cage) and carry them all the way outside the house. I let em go free a safe distance away from my house (even tho it's nearer to my neighbours' houses and they might enter those :XD:)

3. After watching my grandma slay a crab for dinner, I never wanted to eat one again for the next few years and I begged my family members not to eat em as well
They did so behind my back tho. :rofl: Now I sometimes do and as long as I don't think back on the slaying. It was cruel. In order to actually cut the crab... ]]> ~mintleaf-MT Holidays? Not really http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/13148604/ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/13148604/ Wed, 30 May 2007 08:26:15 PDT
Lolz. And also, I find that actually having a gallery is distracting. Haha. Cos I'm so addicted to DA. I'm always browsing and commenting and faving and stuff. It's fun and all but it sorta takes my attention away from doing my fanart. Weird. It's probably just me, I kno u guys dun hv that. I don't know why I feel that way. It doesn't help that it takes me days to complete one piece, from drawing to vectoring to colouring. And I hv a bad habit. I like to leave my pieces of 'art' hanging. Like 95% complete and I stop working on it. Hehehe. Then I complete it sometime in the future...the faaaaar future. Lolz. :D

Anyways, I'm going to be less active for a while in hopes I can come up with something worth looking at soon. Gonna drown myself in anime manga n movies. Hope I can come up with inspiration :floating: to do more art to fill my empty gallery. ^^; :gallery:

That's right! Ganbatte oooo! :evillaugh: I will be back with more works!



*****UPDATE*****
Yaaaay, I joined a new club! :iconclamp-fanclub:
Thx to my first ever DA friend =Midsummer-snow for the invite!!

]]> ~mintleaf-MT I'm such a noob, lol http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/12987444/ http://mintleaf-MT.deviantart.com/journal/12987444/ Thu, 17 May 2007 08:39:24 PDT . Lolz. I just love to draw the things I love. Other than that, I don't draw or deviate or do anything artistic. Having a gallery here is sorta like er... a short term dream of mine. Omigosh I said it! You guys must be laughing your asses off. Ahaha.

I'm trying to get some of my erm, 'works' up here soon. As you can see most of em are based on Sakura and Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles manga cos they're my current obsession. ^_^ As a matter of fact, they're the prime reason I wanted to open a gallery in the first place and the reason I can actually draw better than I used to (it was really bad, trust me). Lolz. Well I won't bore you with details. If you're a tsubasa fan, hope u like my gallery (tiny and amateur as it is)!

Cheers!
