Hay Guys!!

Firstly I want to announce I am starting on a new drawing project. I think I want to draw some things a little more erotic, without being blatant or full frontal etcetera, more delicate and sensual. Also, with that I am going to put extra focus on anatomy, lighting and try and work a little darker. Most of my work comes out very light, colorful, pastel. Need to get that improved a bit.

Secondly I want to start an art feature on a regular basis. I really hate the Watch page here, because I have too many watches for sorting and it really sucks to get people into the right kind of groups. So, I have removed all my subgroups except 'clubs', 'friends' and 'stock'. But I don't know who all the people in this list are anymore! The Watch page definitely needs more attention. For my page I will do some features in alphabetical order!! This is inspired by a recent artist I found here on DA, *liviaa who has a feature every time she updates! This is wonderful because I get to know many new beautiful artists I wouldn't have gotten to know otherwise!

EDIT: TAG DOWN BELOW!


Feature #1 has been moved. Here is the full list:

Feature #2
Feature #3

Tagged

I got tagged by this time! Let's see if I can do this one.

Here are the rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person must post 10 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of this post, more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1. In response to ~Ryukotsusei's first point: I used to have a friend who loved Hiei as much as I did. We promised if we were still friends at 18 we would both get the Black Dragon tattoo. Sadly by that time we didn't talk anymore.

2. I used to host "The Bishounen Corner" (also known as Bishie Corner) together with a friend, more or less around 1998-2001. It was a yaoi fanart and fanfic place. People still remember me from that time apparently XD which is awesome.

3. I can be somewhat of a neat freak, maybe a little compulsive even; sorting my files, my filing cabinet, my art and supplies until they are perfect. When my boyfriend inherited four large boxes of sci-fi books, I begged him to sort them alphabetically for him.

4. I had such a big fight with my mom at one point that, although we lived in the same house, we didn't speak for six months. Lucky we don't fight that often.

5. During a masked gothic ball I went wearing a latex mini-dress. My boyfriend didn't feel well so he didn't join that evening. Consequently when I was dancing by myself for a moment on the dancefloor, this woman suddenly pulled my shoulder and pulled me towards her. She started to dance really close to me, really sexy. I was a little surprised, but I thought 'this is a party, whatever' so I danced with her. Suddenly everyone around us had taken like three steps back and we were in the 'middle' of the dancefloor. She started to say how nice she thought I looked. Then she said 'I'm going to the bathroom' and winked at me. I never followed.... XD! (omgwtfbbq!)

6. I once killed off my character "Youko"; originally Youko Kurama, but since I've been playing him for the past nine years, it's just Youko now. I felt depressed for four months and revived him >_< so bad! He's my alter ego, he's everything I'm not. He's smooth, says the right things, he's vicious, mean, vain, self-confident, outwardly sexual, daring, competitive, he doesn't know the meaning of 'sorry', he's religious, masculine, cruel, avoids responsibilities, never shy. I think he will stay with me forever, in art and inspiration.

7. Last time I went to Zimbabwe, where both my (European) parents grew up was about twelve years ago where I almost slid down the slippery rocks next to a lethal waterfall trying to look over the edge.

8. When I was little I used to get teased a lot, because I was easy to tease. I moved to a different school (because I wouldn't have to cross a big road) and all the girls had already formed cliques. So I played with the boys for years. I think that is why I never really feel feminine, and why I am more relaxed going out playing pool with some guys than going to a girls' night with the girls.

9. I have dreams of being chased, I always have to run away and want to escape. I have to hide, jump, slide down hillsides, sometimes I can go through walls to hide. In some dreams I'm so tired I can feel my lungs burn and my legs tremble as I keep running away. I never get caught, but I'm always running. I don't have them often, maybe once or twice a year, but they're freaky.

10. My important moments in life are all unreachable. The hospital in which I was born has been taken down. My grandmother's house where I became 'a woman' is in Zimbabwe, unreachable nowadays. My first date with my boyfriend was in a club that burned down like six months ago. My first kiss was in a friends' house which has been sold to other people now. My first time was on holiday in Italy where I will likely never visit again. I guess if I get married in a church it will get invaded by aliens for sure.

Well that was REALLY tough trying to think up things, had to dig back into my memories >_<. Now I tag (welcome back, by the way), and !
