The Christmas Madness has gotten to all of us I think.

I would like to Apologise for the VERY LONG delays on any requests I have promised you.
I haven't forgotten them, but I wasn't as 'free' as I thought I would be, so I had to put them aside for a while.

Some of you may think why I upload other work instead of the Requests and Trades I've promised, and it is basically because those works have already been partly finished and have just been sitting either on my Computer or on my Drawing Board.

Anyways, I am the type of artist that likes to have a full plate to get all things done in one hit, than to finish something, then wait, then start something up again.
So, I have a few slots left for requests and trades.
I will get them done over these holidays, honest!



Requests

1. - Her character Ichiro
2. - Her character Shadow Completed
3. - Her character Gerudo Peach
4. - Her young Character Kauke Completed
5. - Her character Kaji

Please do be patient with me. For those that don't know, I am still rather handicapped (read previous entries) but I am doing my best to keep my promises to you guys ^^

FINALLY MY FRICKEN FINALS ARE OVER!!!
It's actually only my School Certificate, but My parents were all "STUDY OR NO ASSASSIN'S CREED II FOR YOU!!!"
Asian Mother was like
British Father was like
I don't really see why they were really fussed about it. I got Bands 4, 5 and 6 in my trials (which are meant to be alot harder) but the SC was heaps easier!

Well, now that I can get away from studying, I now have to follow my recovery plan after an accident a couple years back.(Recovery is basically diet, regular excercise to lose fat, then body building my upper body, and excercising the badly injured/now healed parts of my arms)
Hopefully, when I have fully (like, FULLY fully) recovered, I can get back into being a ninja!

Aside from the 'Recovery' I have to do for the next 2-3 months, I AM GONNA DRAW AGAIN! XD

I wanna be able to expand on the styles of art that I can do. So, I would like to take requests, and I have already accepted a few, but I think I might actually start them now.
So PLEASE do let me know on any suggestions of what to draw or stuff like that? I would like to do things other than my own, I get a little more motivated that way

NOTE!!!: Anime is NOT the only style that exists people. Even though alot of drawing styles seem to resemble it, IT IS ONLY A GENERALISATION. Even though I DO Draw Anime, it is a simple, basic style that I use to fool around, or to jot ideas Down.

+++++ EDIT!!! +++++

Terribly Sorry for Delays, but with many complications (injury, boredom, Christmas Madness =. I have started to get on with these requests now, but please forgive VERY LATE fulfillments of your requests!

I have recently gotten an urge to learn new songs on the piano, even though I haven't finished a handful of the ones I have started a while ago =.="

I am open to suggestions for Music to learn. I've currently been learning complicated arrangements for songs like "KH2-Passion" and other Japanese Game/Anime Songs, and if you know any other songs that are cool/catchy fun to learn, Please link me the Midi file/video/audio and the site to get the music?

Songs I'm Currently learning
Those Who Fight (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children)<-- SO HARD!!!
Passion (Kingdom Hearts II - Kyle Landry's Arrangement)
Hikari (Kingdom Hearts - Kyle Landry's Arrangement)
Aerith's Theme (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children)
Dearly Beloved/Roxas/The Other Promise (Kingdom Hearts II - Arranged the Medley Myself)
Fate of the Unknown (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep)
Haruka Kanata (Naruto)
Comet Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy) <-- Only started this morning and I lost the sheets...
Houki Boshi (Bleach)
Caramelldansen!

Theres my Pending list ^^ Mind you, a few of them are nearly finished, but I would LOVE some more suggestions on what to learn next.



I am taking some requests! After talks with a friend *cough*~lemonphresh*cough* I have decided to explore more style of art and I have recently become inspired with Walt Disney (After watching movie after movie with my little sister ^^)

I am also reading, watching, and looking at different styles of art too. not just pencil and paper, Mixed Media kind of stuff.

So, I would like to take requests to test and practise these new styles i want to work on ^^

1. - Her Character Ichiro
2. - Her Character Shadow
3. - Her Character Gerudo Peach

If you could all just PLEASE READ THIS!!!

A simple little request from me, I would like EVERYONE to draw themselves, as an Anime/Realism person(full body, clothes/costume, props etc)

I would ask that you DON'T use exaggerations, such as long wavy hair when your hair is actually straight, or super spiky long Super-Saiyan Hair when it is actually short and flat.

Please keep things as close to your REAL SELF as possible. I don't mind doing stylish spikes of hair (for you boys) and nicely detailed lengths of hair (for you girls) as you draw yourself, but the most important factors would have to be Hair colour, Eye colour, height, and also the clothes. You can design a costume yourself, but nothing too fancy please ^^
As for your style of drawing, such as faces, body shapes, its Entirely up to you. As long as the character/picture you draw Strongly resembles you, Especially in the face (eyes, hair) this project will be fun.
You could also write a description of yourself if you like, so it would help make it easier to think of the pose/behaviour I could put you in.

After drawing your picture and uploading, it would be great if you linked me the picture.

I only ask of this because I am doing a 'Group Photo' Project. Instead of drawing My character (or should I say, Me) with a bunch of existing characters, I would like to draw a group shot with all you people that I Love So Much on dA

You don't have to do this, but I ask you all NICELY
This will give me a great opportunity to practise, and also a good chance for YOU people to express yourselves as a living artwork

First off, I NEED MORE IDEAS FOR DRAWINGS!

NOTE: Even if I do accept requests and trades, it may be a while before I get them done. I am busy doing Trials for my SC, plus Piano concerts and Airbrushing assignments.




Second off, OCs.

We all make them, even without consciously thinking about it. A character/artwork of a specific design you think of, even if it is 'random', is in fact an OC.

I would just like to say, that I hate, Absolutely HATE people who diss OCs. It is only natural, for a fan of a series, to either make an OC for that series for Their Own entertainment, or to share with others.

People that diss OCs, if you are reading this, then you are probably disagreeing. People who Don't make an OC, but will make a Fanfiction or Fanart of pairing characters together, are just as 'bad' as the people they try so hard to talk down.

OCs are proof that someone is Creative enough to put their imagination onto paper, and to 'birth' their ideas into an OC.
Although there are SOME OCs that become a 'Mary Sue' (I also dislike them to some extent) It doesn't give you an excuse to shoot that character down. You should kindly suggest to them the improvements that they should make to make their character a little more believable.
If you are reading this and Your Character is a Mary Sue, ou should take the constructive criticism more seriously.

Thats it for now, Thankyou for reading this if you actually did.
