The list goes on to pretty much anything =P I've read many more manga so if you want to strike up a discussion about a mangaka/game/anime/movie creator on this list, don't be afraid to ask! I've looked at many works by each of the above authors/artists!

-My Deviantart(active)

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.

It took long enough....

Hiya everyone!! ^^ Guess what day it is? Friday!! =P And I'm feeling quite happy today for some reason(even though not the greatest thing happened to me today xD)~

How are you all? I hope you guys are doing alright!! I apologize for not dropping pm replies by, I'll surely get to them this weekend! For commenting as well, I'll be commenting today to make up for lost time ^^:

Anyways, I've been doing several piccys that I really must get around to finishing...as Ima-chan already knows, I've REALLY been wanting to CG for quite some time now because I've seen a few artists(including friends on here =P) that have inspired me to start up on CGing again ^^ There are also a few things I want to experiment with, so I'll get to those hopefully as well!

Oh and about the title, it took long enough for the weekend to arrive already xD It hasn't been THAT busy of a week for me because of FCAT testing, but there HAS been a lot of long-term homework, so yeah ^^:

There's a St.Patrick's day piano recital tomorrow and I'll get to see a certain someone there...but I don't know how I'll react really xD Maybe I'm over-thinking it though LOL
No worries~everything should be just fine ^^

Well, I've got some work I need to finish up today so I won't be killing myself tomorrow. So I'll see you all around!!<33 Take care! ^^

FCAT week again~

Hiya everyone! It looks like it's that kind of week again....FCAT week! =P Meaning... LESS WORK! ^^ Which hopefully means more time to draw!
I posted art in the middle of the week last week so if you'd go and check it out, that'd be fantastical ^^(127 views only...usually it has more xD) I count the number of views rather than hugs/faves strangely enough ^^:
It's been an incredibly busy weekend for me but it'll soon be okay ^^ I just have a bit of work to do for this research paper but I'll get it all done! I hope you all have been doing alright, for it's been quite a bit of a busy week for everybody I'm sure *nods*
I apologize for not being able to comment as much as I'd like to...I do see all of your submissions and hug/fave them all, I just haven't been able to comment T___T I really apologize for my busy-ness and my laziness as well, I really should put more effort!
Speaking of which, I've really felt like CGing lately to test out a few things in terms of coloring, so I'll be getting around to that hopefully very soon ^^ And I've decided that my manga might not be ready for launch just yet...I've talked to a few people about my story and the conflict I've been having with it, so until I've got this worked out I can't guarantee exactly when I'll launch it.
I went to see Watchmen with Chris and Andrew on Friday and it was THE BLOODIEST movie I have EVER seen 0__o It was actually quite traumatizing xD I didn't think MARVEL would come out with such a graphic movie(blood-wise AND inappropriate content-wise), so I didn't expect that at all xD But overall it wasn't that bad ^^
Other than that, there isn't much in terms of news~ I'll have to get posting more(but luckily..spring break comes soon! ^^)~
Take care everyone!!~ *hugs you all*

Oh, and I changed my avvie =P The entire thing was made completely by me, so I was pretty happy about it ^^ Simple, but I like it I guess xD

New art!(and in the middle of the week! =P)

A RARE moment! xDD New art! =P

Hiya everyone!!~ I hope you all have been doing well! ^^ I've decided that I need to work harder still to keep updating for you guys!! Next week is FCAT week so it'll be pretty laid back(hopefully) in terms of work! I will most definitely try and submit more often!(and draw more gifties at that...but first I've gotta get these art trades/contest entries done xD)

By the way, my English intern is CRAZY(as most of you probably know), so I'll be working like CRAZY this week! I'll have more art for you this weekend hopefully because my research paper will be done(again, hopefully @__@)~

Besides that, there isn't much happening ^^: I had a major breakdown due to stress yesterday(and it was so bad I started feeling sick).
But otherwise, all will be well! *nods* I won't let you guys down! *hugs you all* Take care!!<3

Hello Everyone!!~

Hiya everyone! ^^ I'm leaving a post to let you guys know how I'm doing! =P
And starting off with a HUGE apology for not being able to post my manga on time...I seriously haven't found time to tone the pages/post up more art T__T I've got 2 piccys in progress though and I'll DEFINITELY post one this weekend I PROMISE!(I've been going crazy with wanting to do backgrounds lately..so expect these to have backgrounds =P)
But anyways, thanks so much everyone for being patient with me and I'm sorry that I'm having to go back time and time again on my words T__T It's just that school+piano+exercise+friends+drawing+golfing+basketball+anything else take up a lot of time and I'm really trying to balance out T___T I'm really thankful to you all though for supporting me all of the way~ so thanks so much again! *hugs you all*
And speaking of, it was Ima-chan(FUNimation)'s birthday yesterday, so send her lots of birthday wishes andgifts ^^ <33333333
I shall be trying to post up your giftie soon Ima-chan!

In other news...I went to play basketball yesterday and it was going pretty well ^^: I'm hoping to go out and play some more today(but just for practice LOL)~ And of course, get in some time to draw...
unfortunately there's always a BUT for everything and in this case..it's a research paper, a DBQ and quizzes to study for *sighs*
Lovely.
Anywhos~ I'll be off to comment on you guys's stuff!<3 ^^ So I'll see you all around! Take care<3

My goodness...

I have GOT to post more! xDD

Hiya everyone!! I'm sorry it's been a whole week since I've updated you guys on how I've been ^^: It's really been very busy..mostly due to the work that the new english intern has been assigning every night @__@ He seems to like assigning us homework xD

But anyways...I've had quite a busy agenda lately!! Yesterday was probably the most busy day I've had of 2009 so far xD
In the morning I had to wake up at 6am to accompany my friend at Solo and Ensemble(I was piano accompaniment and she played trombone)...and I did TERRIBLY but luckily they weren't judging how I played xDD I still have yet to wait for results...and I'm hoping she made it to State!

Later in the evening, though..I had to go to Chris's birthday party~ which was a lot of fun..even though it was mostly just us hanging out for 4 hours doing nothing but talking and the guys were doing really um...perverted..stuff xD But they are guys, what do you expect..*sighs* =P
Chris got LOTS of nice presents(cologne, a Bob Marley CD, and a Barbie Doll xDDDDD which he burned 0___o) and $180 worth of gift cards and cash...($30 of it which I gave to him myself LOL)

And I was planning on posting up the start of my manga this weekend but I haven't had time to tone this page T__T So it'll have to wait until March 1st when I can get it toned and everything..*sighs* I'll try my best not to let you guys down! I've been telling you guys about this for a while so I feel REALLY bad T__T
I'm almost done with this piccy though, so hopefully I can post art really soon~ it's a bit different from my other piccys, so I hope you guys will like it =P Take care everyone!!<3
