   Yay! ^^''
Okay, I have to take some time to give some long-overdue answers to some comments on my fanart...

First off, for my piece 'The Song'... CheetahCub guessed it right. ^^'' Desert Rose, by Sting. The thing is, she's my best friend, so she already knew beforehand. *laughs* This is my dear friend Joey. As soon as I get her to submit her fanart, you all should go say hi. ^^''

Now, for Spanish Dancer... I know, Salem. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with that dress. ^^'' I had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like, then I went to Google to get details so it could look at least semi-Spanish. Sorry about that. ^^'' But thanks! I was worried that the fire would end up looking horrible... Now I know it didn't.

From Mou Hitori no Bakura... I NEVER draw the Ring well. Nor any of the Items, for that matter. That was a fluke from me drawing kinda small. ^^'' I normally avoid them altogether... And, in case anyone reading this doesn't know, the title is what is written in Japanese on that drawing, and it means 'the other Bakura.' *nod*

And for an older one, Sesshomaru-sama... No, I rarely outline in pen, except for on the Mou Hitori and Nice Kitty ones, to make it more distinct. I'm too worried about messing it up with pen and not being able to erase it... T.T

For Nice Kitty, I might do an Eevee eventually, though I have to say I'm uncomfortable with doing a request for someone on their first comment. I'd like to get to know the requester better first...

And... yeah. That's good enough for now. Thanks, guys, and see you around! ^^

   Spanish Dancer
As on all its sides a kitchen-match darts white
flickering tongues before it bursts into flame:
with the audience around her, quickened, hot,
her dance begins to flicker in the dark room.

And all at once it is completely fire.

One upward glance and she ignites her hair
and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress
to passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace
from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long
naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking.

And then: as if the fire were too tight
around her body, she takes and flings it out
haughtily, with an imperious gesture,
and watches: it lies raging on the floor,
still blazing up, and the flames refuse to die-
Till, moving with total confidence and a sweet
exultant smile, she looks up finally
and stamps it out with powerful small feet.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, that be the poem that my last piece is based on. How did I do? I hope I captured the poem well enough... I love Rilke's poems. They have so much feeling in them, though the translations don't have rhymes like the original German. Oh well. Anywho, this one was done on the side because I got a little bored with something else I was doing. Too much detail in the background, meh... So I did this to take a break before I went back to the other one.

*sigh* But, I'm afraid you won't see the other one... After this post, I'm leaving the Otaku. I'm not going to be allowed on anymore, because my over-protective parents decided there was too much bad stuff on the art sites I go to... So, this will have to be goodbye. Sorry, minna...

...

... APRIL FOOLS!!!

I had to, sorry. ^^'' I'm not really leaving. Though it is true that my mom won't let me onto deviantART because of some stuff my sister found on there... -.- Grr. Oh well, I'll change her mind eventually.

Still on the subject of art, I haven't posted anything for YuGiOh in a long time... I have something old I might dig out tonight that I could post. And... During one of my theater classes, we had to make up a character sheet for a character we could play, and I sketched my character during the second half of class. It came out all right, though there's no color... Should I post that, too? I'll write down some info about her on the sketch also.

All right, anything else I can say...? Nothing much going on in my life right now. I finally saw Princess Mononoke, which made me very happy. I really liked San (sp?). And Moro's voice was pretty... Though I don't like not being able to see Naruto. -.- But YuGiOh's back! I'm happy again. ^^'' Out of the anime world, just the usual stuff. Chatting with friends, arguing with enemies, singing with my sister (we're dorks, we know), jamming to my iPod... My nephew came back from a long trip and was immediately a twerp again. -.- And my brother-in-law keeps trying to convince me to watch YGO GX... I might try it, who knows. I really want to know what other spells were in that book...

Okay, not much else... Except I got the flu... More like was slammed by the flu... Man, that was awful. -.- My father got it, passed it to my mom and I, we passed it to my sister and her friend, said sister passed it to my bro-in-law, and it's still going. Yeesh. Oh well, I'm (mostly) better now.

This post is waaaay long. I'll leave you all alone now. ^^'' Bye bye!

   La dee DAAAA!!!
Yep, just submitted a new fanart of my favorite Animorphs character, Tobias. ^^'' You might not get what's with the hawk in the picture unless you read the series, but... I still like it. *nod* Actually, this pic was done rather quickly, so it might look horrible compared to some of my other stuff... T.T Oh well. I like it. It's got feeling... But you can't see his eyes very well... Gah, stop being so critical! -.-

... Um, yes. I don't have much else to say... Sorry dudes. ^^'' See ya!

   ... Bleh...
Okay, I only have a moment. One piccy today, of a really cute Absol. (That's a Pokemon, in case you didn't know...) I can't believe I did it so well, without any Absol pics to go by either. *nod* For you, Jou-kun. Thankee for the idea!

I don't have anything else right now... 'Cause I'm sick... I don't feel up to doing anything. =.= I'm going back to sleep now. Bye bye...

   Quick post...
Okies, I put two new pics up today. One's original, one's based on a card. I think they're both pretty good, for me. ^^ So, um... Go take a look!

And, as for what's going on in my life... Not much. I've been pretty bored, besides when I get on the internet... Except that a friend of mine from school had me join this play with her. It's really interesting and really funny, but I have to play a doctor's wife. A wife! O.o'' Though it's a pretty big part, so I'm not complaining... too much.

All right, I'm kinda busy, so I have to take off. See ya!

   Yay!
I finally got that Sesshomaru thing done for my friend, and it has been posted. Go take a look. And now, YAAAY!!! I get to draw whatever I want again! ^.^ Not that I didn't like drawing Sesshy. It was just so tedious, and I wouldn't allow my self to take a break and go to some other drawing or anything... But now it's DONE!!! ^^ Don't mind me, I've been acting really really REALLY strange and hyper all day today. Was getting odd stares at school... It was funny. XD Man, if you could hear me talk right now, I'd be going so fast you'd hardly be able to understand me. But no matter! I'm not saying anything important anyway. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! No idea if that's spelled right. Bye bye!

   Valentine's Day!
Well... I guess I have to post something for this. So, happy Valentine's Day to all of the otaku! (Otakus?) ^^'' Have fun torturing the people like me who try to avoid love and deny that they feel anything similar to it! Heheh... Rightio. I have very little else to say...

Oh yeah. I almost have fifty votes on my fanart... I'm so proud. @.@'' Never expected to have so many people like my stuff. Heh, I know fifty is nothing to those veteran fanartists who have a bunch of pics or have been here a long time, but hey! I'm new at this. It's a big hurdle for me. So, arigato gozaimasu, minna-san! ^^

(Just wait till I have a hundred... XD)

See you all later!

   Wha...?
Agh. Just checked on my newest fanart. The two that I put quotation marks on were capitalized funny... -.-'' Methinks Otaku doesn't like quotes on fanart. But the un-capitalization makes the title look unprofessional! T.T Not that I'm a professional in the first place, but I want it to LOOK that way, at least... Meh.

As for any more fanart... Not going to post any, 'cause nothing's done... I have two that are close to done (one's really starting to annoy me), but I really need to do the Sesshomaru thing first. I promised my friend almost two weeks ago that I would do it, and I haven't started yet... Oops. ... Oh, I do have something saved on my computer from a long time ago... I might post that if I take too long.

So... I feel like ranting about Yu-Gi-Oh, but now is not the time. Meh. Just know it's in a part that I've known I would hate ever since I first read about it on Janime probably two years ago... Grr...

Aaanywho... Well, I'll update you more later. For now, I have something else I need to be doing. Bye bye!

   All righty!
I've come back to life yet again! And this time, I brought art with me! ^^ Three piccies, one being my extremely late Christmas one. (There ya go, AK...) Yay Jing! I met a Jing cosplayer at an anime convention... He was cool. I loved the trenchcoat. Anywho, I'm getting off subject! These three pics all weren't as done as I wanted them to be, but I had to put up something... So, I actually finished and edited them a little bit on the computer, which I almost never do on my pathetic software, so don't mind if they're not quite right. I know the one of Bakura might look blurry, and Jing's looks messy around the edges... And Yugi's a bit off-color... Ah well. Now I have to put all of my other drawings on hold to do one of Sesshoumaru for a friend of mine... 'Twas his birthday. *shrug* Gotta go find some good pics of him... Anywho, see ya around!

   Yes, I am still alive.
I know it's been a while... Bleh. I've been forbidden to talk with any of my friends, so I'm not allowed to go on the internet. But, since my mom needed things scanned and she's technologically inept (no offense, but it's true) I'm here scanning things for her. And I'm bored.

Okay, so I haven't been here since way before Christmas, but I did have a Christmas drawing done on the 20th or something. It's reeeally late now, but should I post it anyway...? What say you? As for anything else... I've started drawing actual scenes now, background and everything, so they're taking a while to finish. Plus everyone is now asking me to draw things for them (including my father and my Latin teacher) so I'm really slow right now. I don't have anything yet, but I will soon.

Life update? You don't wanna know. -.- Anything else? I've started liking riddles a lot lately... If you have any good ones, tell me. *nod*

Oh yeah, the coolest Christmas presents I got were an iPod Shuffle from my father, the Egyptian board game Senet from my mom, and this Egyptian papyrus with a painting of Queen Nefertiti on it from my sister. Yep, people are getting the idea with the Egyptian stuff...

Alrighty then, I'll be back later.
