Something random you should know: I LOVE it when people draw the character's personality is intact(in other words, unchanged)~ it really gives the picture a better feel because they act the same as they were made to be.
Hello everyone. Sorry for having waited awhile to make another world post...there have been QUITE a few things going on lately for the past week and well yeah..I just...there's so much I want to say but I just can't for some reason...
And for all of you guys that are still sticking with me after all of this time of me being away, thank you SO SO much! >.< I know like 3 people unsubbed me so yeah OTL. I've really been trying to not be negligent of this site and work on art but even for like DA it's still been incredibly HARD to make time for art T__T But anyways...
The earthquake in Japan...not only are there so many people suffering but as you all know, I have family there.
And the reason I haven't really been posting was because I was waiting to hear from them and thank goodness... at 5am this morning I got a call from them saying they were alright. And they reminded me that they have been in Korea since around the time my dad came back so they could see him thank goodness....(I totally forgot because I've been so busy up until yesterday night... and as you all know I'm much more in touch with my Korean side because some of my cousins live in Korea despite being Japanese, but anyway). The tsunami thank goodness shouldn't be affecting Korea so much if at all.
I was just SO SO relieved. But I can't imagine the devastation they'll be coming back to when they return in April. They might not even head back at this point due to the nuclear spill but nonetheless, I'm just glad they are alright. One of my cousins was crying over the phone and that just made me want to cry too...
The good news is that I'll probably finally be able to meet them when I go over to Korea in spring break..but the bad news is that Japan is absolutely devastated right now and amidst all of that their homes and other people's homes have more than likely been caught in it...
I feel relatively alright and have been feeling happy somewhat because I'm SO lucky they just happened to be in Korea visiting my dad at this time, but their homes and the feeling of not knowing they were okay..oh my goodness it was absolutely heart-wrenching.
*calming down* In any case, this week has been probably my hardest week ever in my 4 years of high school, I'm not gonna lie. I had to pull 3 all-nighters almost(2-3 hours of sleep for the first 4 days of this week due to Music and English internal assessments, aka HUGE exams where you are being recorded that go towards getting your diploma) and we also had a death of a girl at my school happen on Tuesday. It was REALLY REALLY sudden, for she was only hospitalized for 24 hours before she passed due to some kind of heart failure or blood clot in her heart...but yeah if you want to know about her, her name is Sarah Michelle Landauer and she knew SO many of my friends. I didn't know her personally, but a lot of my friends did and I just wanted to be there to hug and support someone then. It was REALLY hard to concentrate for my exams on that day.
I also have been doing shows for Mulan. The first two were cancelled due to Sarah's death affecting so many but on Thursday we dedicated our performance to her, and yesterday we had a show once again. Tonight is my final show(it's closing night). So I'll be thinking of all of those in Japan and dedicate my performance in this show to them.
I know how EXTREMELY lucky I am to have had my family be visiting my dad at exactly this time oh my goodness..but please pray for those that have lost their lives, families and homes as well as much more in this disaster.
Take care everyone~ stay safe!
Congratulations, you are now part of the 2011 Freshman Class at the University of Florida!!
Hello everyone!!<333 I am ABSOLUTELY ecstatic today(STILL LOL)!! I got an acceptance letter from UF yesterday and my goodness I'm so so happy! My entire family has graduated from UF so to be able to make it is like an absolute dream come true! I'm so so happy and yesterday I went to celebrate with my family! ^^
In other news, this weekend is gonna be AWFUL xDD I have a HORRIBLE homework and test schedule next week @__@ But that's okay, I'll manage! We always manage to get through our problems in the end! ^^
Art-wise, be prepared for some more traditional work! I'm hoping to mix both traditional and digital more this year, so yep! It'll hopefully be more balanced haha~
Take care everyone! I love you guys so much!<3
EDIT1: Whoa I never expected to end up in the 1 hour feature 0__o Thank you to whoever decided to feature it >.<
New art, as promised ^^ No need to comment if you don't want to..(Especially since I've been a horrible friend lately and haven't been commenting myself T__T) but I'd love it if you just took a look at it.
Hello everyone~ this a REALLY short post LOL just to say that I'm still alive and well! I'm DEFINITELY posting art this weekend because last weekend I didn't get to finish the pic I promised to post T__T I've been on DA more lately which saddens me a bit because I really love this place..it's just that I don't know where so many of my friends have gone anymore wahhh! >.<
Anyways, I'll be on here of course! Hopefully I'll get more into the spirit of things! There are updates and upgrades on theO so often it's driving me crazy @__@ But I can't say that they are bad! I hope that everything works out in the end >.<
Take care everyone! Let me know how you're doing! I'll get around to submissions hopefully soon!
My MSN is [email protected] if you'd like to keep in touch with me there as well! ^^ Take care!<3
Hello all ^^ I have really been missing you guys even though it's only been a couple of days~ Thank you all so so much for all of the support you've been giving me with your cheerful and insightful comments =) And also the hugs and just your overall bright spirits! I always feel so happy when I come on to see what you guys have written and how you guys are doing with both submissions and world posts that let me in on a little bit of your life! ^^
On that note..hm..well the new layout xD I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it? So many things have changed since I first arrived her..it's really hard to keep track of it all. But I know that the mods are only trying to change up the site with new upgrades and features for everyone to enjoy, so I respect their hard work in that! I'm very glad that they are making more efforts to feature lesser-known artists, but I'm a bit sad that the Fan Words section was cut out for the writers on this site. =/ I wonder how that is going to be dealt with otherwise by writers here...
Furthermore, I will be honest to you all and say that I haven't been on as much here as I have been on DA..I promised myself I would never EVER leave this site and move straight to DA and I'm keeping that promise, but I'm so so confused as to what's happened. Where have all my friends gone? Even on DA..I don't know where like any of them are anymore. I'm so so grateful for those that are still sticking with me and keeping in touch, like you Kris-chan, Truly-chan, Ima-chan, Angel-kun and as well as some others, but I can't help but wonder how my other friends are doing and where they are right now and if they are alright. Sakurie-chan, Elena-chan, and some others..I have no idea where they are right now. It's a rather disconcerting feeling not being in touch with your friends for months, even years, but in my heart I know for sure that they are probably just enjoying the pleasures of real life and being away from the online community for a while.
Really so much has changed. I know only a few of you can really relate to how much this place has changed like I can, but it's at times like these that I really do miss the old days and wonder what has happened.
But I guess all we can do is look towards the future! I'm sure there are many more new friends and wonderful people to meet ahead! ^^
I love you guys so so much<3 And I'm sorry for lack of art in the past couple of days...if it says anything, I only got an hour of sleep due to horrendous amounts of work Monday night and I am still recovering from that xD
Take care everyone<3 I will definitely keep in touch with you all here!<3
Hello everyone! I bet you weren't expecting an update from me in the middle of the week huh? xDD Well up above is my latest artwork! I find it a bit sad that it's not doing as well as this old pic from 2009 xD but in any case, I'm so so happy for all of the support I've gotten on it so far and I really appreciate it! One of my biggest wishes ever finally came true yesterday and I've just been in a great mood all day because of it ^^
Er..anyways in regards to the title..my goodness I'm doing a HUGE presentation tomorrow that only seniors in high school must do and now it's starting to hit me that I'm really close to graduating high school haha! But anyways after tomorrow it'll be a lovely 3 day weekend, so expect more art from me again soon! ^^ I'm really working hard to be more productive art-wise this year!
All in all, take care everyone!<33 Love you guys so so much and I hope you're doing well!
