  Hey everybody. Just woke up a second ago.

I watched the end of EVA last night…..and I am confused. I thought I had 6 DVD’s of EVA to watch but it turns out that the sixth one is just the “Director’s Cuts” of several episodes (I don’t even know what a “Director’s Cut” is). Thusly, the series ended way quicker than I thought, and on top of that, it was one Hell of a weird ending. O_o; It probably had a deeper philosophical meaning (like everything else in EVA, which I love), but I honestly had no idea what was going on.
The series itself basically ends with Shinji killing Kaworu. After that, it’s 2 episodes that consist of either deep psychological analysis of the characters…..or absolute nonsense akin to Pink Floyd: The Wall.

Oh, and while on the subject of Kaworu (whom most of you have already heard of), let me just say he is the gayest character I’ve ever seen. Thank goodness he’s only alive for one episode, because he made it so utterly obvious what he was after. Even taken in its most innocent context, everything he said was a double entendre. He tried to make it seem emotionally logical, but come on, you don’t make comments on “love” to another guy while you’re both naked in a shower-room. =P Creepy as Hell.

Anyway, Josh tells me that the ending in the series is the “suck-ass ending”, and the real ending of the EVA series is actually the movie (which Josh has also kindly loaned me). So, I’ll be watching that ASAP to but a cap on my EVA-fix.

Anyway, on other subjects, my siblings have managed to piss me off (yet again) within 30 minutes of me waking up. My brother also managed to lie to my own mother about me in that same time frame. He does that all the time, but this early?
And my parents wonder why I don’t have a good relationship with that little bitch. Bah.

Anyway, here’s today’s Art-Feature:
“With Bells On” by Celesse:


Usually I rather dislike Anthro-pics (the noses creep me out O_o; ). But for this one, I’m definitely willing to make an exception. <3
Celesse is one of my favorite anime-artists when it comes to smooth lining, bright colors and soft textures, and here we see all of those qualities plus an adept sense of character design.
This girl is part snow-leopard, as you can see. The choice of clothing is excellent, for both the lace top and the grey pants sewn from the sides with the pink ribbon.
I love the purple eyes and the face in general. Even the nose here doesn’t bother me. =) The soft, furry texture over the skin (for which “Furries” get their name) looks nice and soft, almost like plushy-fur.
Not to mention you’ve gotta’ love that long, fluffy tail, especially how it’s positioned as to accentuate the shape of the subject’s figure.
And I love the hair! Sure, it’s not really possible to have the leopard-pattern on hair, but Hell, that tiny aspect of unrealism is an element of creative design. It works for an anime character! Plus, that leopard-pattern makes the hair even better. I love its color, shape, length and soft, fluffy texture as well. It’s just so pretty!

So anyway, what do you think? Are you like me, in that you usually find a layer of fur covering a person’s body to be a slight turn-off, or are you a Furry-fan? =)
And regardless of your answer to the above question, what do you think of this character? Do you love her design as much as I do?
