Quote by selementalmel-san! How did
you get removed from my fl?! O_O;
I was looking for your name in my fl and I couldn'tfind your name. So I went to
the club page and I clicked on your name and it said you weren't on my fl!
This is the 3rd time this happened to me! I'm sorry if you got confused by it!
Even my password got reset and everything!
Anyway, I can't be online now becfause my little brother is sick.
So if you finished with the layout or when you finish it, could you just send it
to Haven100 (hapanda-san) for me!
Sorry again for the mishap. I don't know what's going on with my
account!

I'm really happy to finally hear from yah
Got to go for now
Really hope to hear from you soon *hugs*
Ok! I'll watch Jinki Extend! I'm on episode 4 right now^^ what episode you on in
Chobits?...............or have you started yet? lol
Well I haven't been able to log on Mabinogi for sometime sorry I was
planning to go this Spring break, but I found myself watching anime instead of
playing mabinogi
I'll get online there sometimes....but mostly it's either anime, photoshop, and
video games for me lol
BTW........................................(...) see you haven't logged in for a
week
And todays my last day of Spring Break
Kinda boring when your not around to chat with lol
Oh and my new layout is up! personally I don't like the text I use but I really
don't care lol Kanon is Awesome!
Oh and Heres the long awaited Friendship card of you, Luna, and me^^
See ya!
OMG you have the how to draw manga books?! O___O i want them but they are
soooo expensive T___T
THANK YOU FOR HELPING
omg do you have photoshop? how much did you get it for? it is sooooo exprensive
T____T but so pweettty +____+
yes i hate anatomy DX in fact i suck at drawing hands O____O
yes your right copying from an artist is a really good thing for learning
^___^
thanks again seley chan
No prob I'm glad they helped!
Yeah, I have all 4 volumes of How to Draw Anime and Game Characters series made
by one of the artists of Ah My Goddess and Nausica. But to be honest, they are
helpful but not 100% helpful. Like, they give you tips and they show you how to
draw certain positions, but basically it tells you to do the same thing I just
told you. Trace pictures, when you're more confident move to copying.
But I just found art books of the How to Draw Manga Books and such at Galbadia
Hotel. Here are the links.
If the pics don't show then don't worry, I'll scan the lessons and stuff for
you.
The hands can be mastered. Try drawing a real skeleton's hand over and over
again. Remember where the joints are. Those are the places that bend like when
you make a fist and bend your fingers. And remember the shape of the bones, that
will help you focus and remember how the overall hand should look like. Then try
to draw a hand normally. You will get great results!
HAHA thanks alot seley chan omg sorry
for the late reply coz i was at camp for like three days DX not happy at all
because the stupid backstabber just got worse, the whole freaking situation just
got worse and we kept on getting punished to do push ups on grounds like the
road exept the rocks were less refined and there were huge cracks
DX NOT HAPPY! and since i had asthma they made me squad in a 90 degree agle
hands off the lap DX now both my hands and leg hurts TT____TT

oh and i am thinking of drawing a manga for rainfalling luv but depends on my
time D: so busy!
I just joined as soon as I read this message! It's awesome and I'm really
excited about it! I'll do my best to support nyan! >:3
Fanfics are fun to make! lol But when it comes to reading, I appreciate it more
when it's original. That's kind of weird because there was a time when I went
looking for fanfics like crazy. I wonder why people read them though. A
doujinshi, I could understand because of cute pictures. But reading.. hmmm.....
lol
Yes! The mmorpg is free! No trial, just free!
And if you make a character don't forget to choose "Ruari" server. I'm
not sure if this is permanent, but right now, you can't switch servers. You can
only play in the one you made your character in. The only way to interact with
players from other servers is through instant messaging in the game. You can't
play with them. :0
uwah! Of course of course! I will definitely wall them! I just hope my wallies
live up to the vector! And thanks for the pretty thank you pic!
That's great Luna-cha! I'm so proud! See, I told you everything would be all
right! ;3 Did your family & classmates celebrate?
Thanks for joining the group, Sel-chan
I love reading fanfics too...
I try to look for some when I crave for them *LOL*
Yesterday (March 17) was our graduation!
Oh yeah! We're finally graduated! Though I kinda feel sad for some who are going
to take summer classes and for some who are retained *sobs*
Now that we're graduated, it's off to university for us now!
My parents were very very happy! I graduated
second honors in Chinese class...XD I'm really happy!
I will really really miss my dear dear friends *cries* cuz everyone's going to
different universities
in fact, I missed them right now *sniffs*
I got letters from my best friends....I was sooooo touched and I just can't help
crying...and boy did I cry! And it's not just mild cry..My eyes were red from
crying
So how've yah been, Sel-chan?
Hope that school's not stressing you sooo much...
Hope to hear from you soon <3
awesome userpg! totally full
can i add u, sel?
ohh, btw, Aozora no namida is one of my fave song ^^ i put on my userpg too, but
then i changed it-- i listened n sang it evryday after that im getting bored ..
haha
UWAH! They look awesome! lol I didn't get the chance to put anything up because
I got booted off yesterday. @__@; And my computer kept freezing it was scary!
But for me also, even though my layout of DOGS is still pretty new, I'm more
into Death Note. I read the entire series sometime last year. *bought them all from
barnes and noble when i finally had enough allowance money* There are 2 more
Death Note books! I plan on getting them too. And because Death Note is not as
popular now as when the manga was still going and I read all the manga, I didn't
pay much attention to the anime, but it's really cool! I can see they go all
out! And the voice actors for the dubbed sounds closely to the jap. In that case
I very much prefer watching dubbed.
So basically the point is, I'm gonna make a new layout best on Death Note! And
not just a layout. I'll customize music, add funny gags, and a whole bunch of
stuff for the characters.
BTW, the cards are really beautiful, noel-hime!
I will most definitely put them up!
thx a lot sel-san..anyways that's okay..me too sometimes get booted off.. "..really..me my internet is always freezing..is DOGS anime ? I haven't
heard of the anime yet ?..hehe Me too..I'm into Death Note right now..it's so
mesmerizing..hmm..that's cool..in here..the anime is all better than the mange..
xD
A new layout huh ? I still don't know how to make my own layout..haha..I'm too
lazy to update my page.. xD
and thank you for the comment about the cards..I am glad that you liked them
^^
Quote by selemental
LOL Exactly! You are right! I was really afraid I'd become this dull adult who's
boring and likes nothing but working! But I found out that's not true! The
artists in the otaku world are all adults and many of them are very old yet they
have a fantastic feild of imagination!
I don't know what rococo means! I never had a lot of friends and no one really
discussed fashion with me. The convorsations were usually "Hey you draw
well!" or "Hey can I copy your homework?" :0
Well nonetheless I really don't know, like I said I just copied the dress
exactly as shown on the site. @_@; I didn't change anything. They said it was a
rennaissance, but I thought rennaissance was more like those freakishly huge
dresses princesses wear! :0
Color? I am not confident in coloring! But
also, I had to leave it black and white because Ri-chan asked me to draw it so
she could vector. So I left the coloring to her. But overall, I'm not confident
in coloring. I mostly make just black and white pictures! Many people say
"COLOR IT!" But I am scared! This one time I colored a drawing it
looked horrible and I made it for an art contest!
It's like colors hate me! And at school, a lot of people say "Why do you
color so messy?" or "Your colors clash, just like your outfit."
-__- I hate those memories so much. They hold me back! But I guess you have a
point! I can't make black and white pictures forever. If I'm not good at it, I
should work on it until I am right?
Ah! So that's gothic, rennaissanic, and rococo! I like rennaisannic and rococo
best! Wow I learned something new! ^.^
I tried looking for what "Gothic" was in the dictionart and all it
really said besides the talk of the actual time period and the church and
architecture was that it was a name given to novels of the horror genre. So does
that mean a goth is just a person who likes to read horror novels? Then what's
with the fashion sense? I guess they wear all that makeup and stuff to show
their interest in the horror genre the same way anime fans buy bags with
Inuyasha on them. I like horror but not that much. :0 I really can't stomach things
that are too gorey. But if it's a gorey cartoon I don't mind! I watched
Gantz and Elfen Lied.
uwah, why would I be mad! You are of so much help to me!
I should be thanking you! THANK YOU!
uwah so what's a gothic lolita exactly? Is it a young girl who weats rococo
clothes?! The characters from Rozen Maiden are called gothic lolitas but their
clothes look like rococo. :0 *is confused*
YOUR DRAWING IS AWESOME!
They are so cute and those outfits look great! Like something a famous person
would wear! *reminds me of clothes in those big stores in manhattan*
THX for showing me! I am very honored!
- PS - Sorry I wrote so much.
Nya artists rarely become dull adults :P
Yeah mangaka (that's what hose that draw manga in japan are called) must be
really great! I wish i will one day get the chance to meat one.
Well we are in the fashion department so we are so to say forced to discus
fashion . . .
Can i see the vectored version?
You shouldnt be afraid to color . . . I was really bad at coloring too . . it's
just the right typ of tools you need . . . for example if color pencils or
watercolors of copic markers or maybe computer coloring. (of course black and
white isnt bad becoase sometime textures can make wonders like in mangas)
Just dont be afraid ok
Well i know all this stuff couse we had 'Custumography' (or whatever it's
translated) in the first year . . . We learned about how people dressed in
different historical periods. (Like Egyptian and Greek . . .)It's really fun
at
least it was for me
But sadly we fixated more on European costume . . . (i would really like to
learn more about China and Japan and Korea and India . . . The East!
-.-)
I dont know why Gothic became a synonym for horror . . .
*goes on the search . . . *
This might help . . . got lots of things i didnt know (or ever thought of) in
(read it IF you have time ) (oh yeah
goth is short for gothic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture#Origins_of_the_term
And another on . . . to explane the gothic lolita therm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion#Gothic_Lolita
(again read it IF you have time ok!)
I'm sorry if i'm boring you with this i just really like lolita fashion
Help? Really? . . . *blush*
Well i'm glad . . .
*Blushes even more . . . *
You really think so? . . .well i dont like them . . .they didnt end up the way i
wanted them to be . . .
Well i hope to hear from you soon
It's really fun to talk to you
(i might not write back so soon because we are getting ready for the fashion
show in school but i'll do my best)
I am unique, yes? :3 I think it's uber cute! *hugs* X3
I think you will like it, judging by your tastes from your userpage. I could
always be wrong. But I think you won't hate it or dislike it in the least.
:3
I just wanna say
It's BREAK!~
Only 10 days though
I need a long break about now.....
I really need one.....
Next year I'm a junior...... and I have 3 APs that I'm planning on and I might
have 4......
And I still need to take elective courses and I hate science and everything is
freaking me out and I'm hallucinating @_@
How many times do I have to tell you that I dont like those icky black
licorices?!
You never listen to me! TT_TT
I am aware of the electrostatic discharges from your hair fiber....
Protozoans live in dirty water...... And I found a worm wid that high powered
microscope
Sometimes I wish I was a chocolate pie with whipped cream mushed all over so
that I could give delight to people while fattening them with oily calorie
You know that calor means heat in Spanish?
I know because I'm a genius
I heard geniuses are actually just crazy
But it's just a jealous opinon from the normal people because the all want to be
weird geniuses
You know the chess genious? What was his name.....
The guy from Iceland that died recently......
I pretty much had to do the same thing! They made us study anatmy first,
actually I still have to work on the anatomy, but since I got the basics down,
they made me jump to foreshortening! I think foreshortening is the most fun
because it allows me to draw my characters the way I want them to look rather
than being deformed. I really hated it when someone would pass by and say
"Is her leg broken?" And I'm like "No, she's sitting......"
lol
well I skipped a grade once in kindergarten. If that even counts, so sometimes
I'm the youngest, but I found a lot of people my age. I
completed school normally up to 8th grade. After I graduated from 8th grade, I
did about 1 yr of high school and passed my test and I graduated. But the
colleges wouldn't accept me because "I was too young" Even though
legally, I'm allowed to start college anyway, they refused to accept me. So I
had to wait, wait, wait and then I had to take the test a 2nd TIME! ugh.. But I
passed with high scores like the first time, and now I'm deciding what college I
really want to go to because I just moved to a new neighborhood. @__@; The
colleges I was aiming for are very far now!
You are right! Who cares what the government says! I may have more
responsibilities, but I will always be me at heart! Even if that me can be
compared to a child! >:3
um.. Besides anime, I found a liking in drawing landscapes! Stuff like a field
of clouds! Castles! Underground cities like in a story book! *yes my imagination
refuses to rest i'm afraid. so everything i make turns from real to imaginary*.
-.-;
Wow! Fashion design huh! That's really cool! I'm not
that good at making outfits but I draw them pretty well! I tried to take a
magazine to learn how to get some ideas, but then my mom kept saying not to do
that because I can get sued and I was like "UWAAAHH". So now I'm
cautious. @__@; I basically look at the outfits and deform them a bit! And a bit
of that remove a bit of this! But I still need work so basically fashion is not
my skill! *S O B*
I like rennaissance and gothy outfits in drawings! Wanna see one I drew? Rennaisance Princess Ri-chan
by selemental
I copied the outfit from a site that was selling this pretty blue
dress!
Do you have any fashion drawings and stuff uploaded on MT! I'd like to see!
I know what you mean. Putting them in different poses is a real problem to
me.
-.- you graduated after one year . . . wow . . .
Clouds are nice *starts being all dreamy* i like clouds . . .
I think the biggest problem on my 'growing up' saw that i was afraid i would
lose my imagination . . . and that is the most important thing in my life . .
cant imagine life without it . . cant imagine what people think all this time if
they dont have imagination . . . it must be boring . . .
Ok i should be going now . . got lots to do for school.
Have fun

Long-awaited Code Geass R2 was broadcast in Japan.
I also saw R2.
To tell the truth, it is shock.
Spoiler:
Lelouch seemed to give up the life. However, it was a lie.
Lelouch had been brainwashed to Britannic.
It was used to lure out C.C.
The development in the future is the enjoyment.
Ok! I'll watch Jinki Extend! I'm on episode 4 right now^^ what episode you on in Chobits?...............or have you started yet? lol
