Due to the life!r*pe I've been submitted to in the last year in various forms, shapes and sizes, I'm clearing all my commissions except for the already paid ones and I won't be taking any until further notice.

Thank you for the 3K comments... I wouldn't want anybody to be annoyed with me not replying, I really am happy about each and every one of them. In the future, I'll probably disable commenting on the whole - not because I'm not interested what you think, but because I don't think it's fair you take your time to type something I potentially won't be able to reply to.

About all the projects I do; I've been told by my doctor to quit everything but school (yes it's rather bad). My iron is not regenerating as it should, they still have no clue why and are not doing sh*t about it - since my mom had a similar problem while she was pregnant for me, they say it's genetic and temporary and leave it at that. I'm left to my own resources and iron diets, but I get ill at least once a month, bang on time. I can't begin to explain how annoying it is, it's starting to become a handicap.

I can't and won't quit drawing, no matter what happens. But right now the situation is serious and I really must pause all activity completely for a while (most of which you actually haven't seen here on DA, being paid work).

But I will be back.

Thank you, everybody.

I wanted to do this for a while, list the things that made me dream and draw back then~ I'm glad I saw Italian tv anime because the main why I remember them is for the awesome openings they made. So while listing, I'll add a link to the opening on youtube, so you can check them out. ^^

I also invite you to link me to your journal if you do the same~ I've always wondered what these series' opening songs were in, say, Spanish or English...

Sampei
Oh lol. I remember waking up early just to watch this when I was 4. It has to be the most random anime ever. I mean, it's about fishing. XD But I honestly thought Sampei was super cool, back then...

Saint Seya
I faintly remember watching this... but not understanding much, I think I was 4 or 5, lol. I liked Crystal tho! I though he was pretty. I also thought Andromeda was a girl. O_O;

Captain Tsubasa (Holly & Benji)
Yep! XD I played soccer because of this cartoon all through kindergarten and elementary school. I wanted to marry the goalkeeper, lol.

D'artagnan and the Three Mosquetiers
Yep. Here's where I got swords-obsessed... I gaped when I learned one of them was a woman, I don't remember the name, the blond one. o.o

Mowgli (?)
This was cute. ^_^ I think this is where my obsessions with talking animals began... XD

Sailor Moon (4th op.)
I watched it mostly because everybody else did, with my friend who was really heaps into it. We knew all the op. songs (there's 5, I think) by heart, lol.

Robin Hood
Oh, he was my hero alright. I hardly remember the cartoon tho, I was really little. But the op. song's stayed with me till this very day.

Dragon Ball | Z | GT
I liked it, but I wouldn't rewatch it if my life depended on it. And GT made this series crash and burn for me... I mean Trunks becomes a babysitter. T_T; I never lived that down...

Slayers
EPIC. Completely. I could not look away from this~ *_* It was dark but funny and I remember drawing pentagrams on my hands like mad and learning the words Lina said when she casted spells and saying them with her. My parents must have thought I was nuts, lol.

Magic Knight Rayearth
It was lovely. ^^ anything Fantasy worked wonders with my Tolkien-dazed little head. I never got as much into it as I did with Slayers tho. I've always had this... drawback... when it came to anything Clamp, for some reason. o.o

Pokemon
Yep. Watched this one too... but only the first series. Digimon stole me away later on, I got involved into the Digi-Poke war going on round back then, so I had to take sides... *amused* Btw, my fav Pokemon were Cefairy and Ditto. I used to ace like mad with my Colorless/Grass/Psycho deck. Fun times! XD

Digimon 01 | 02 | Tamers | Frontier
... do I need to go into detail with this one? XD It's an obsession I still have. And that I never wanna get over, for that matter~ X3 I loved all the series, tho I haven't seen Savers yet...

Gundam Wing
XD I was classically fascinated by Duo. Cliche' much? But hey. I learned a lot about perspective and politics (so to speak) with this one. Also. 1x2 / 3x4 / 5x6x13 = FTW.

Monster Rancher
I loved this so much even tho nobody I knew watched it. It was somewhat predictable, but still sort of fresh and I hearted the op really bad. ^_^

One Piece | 02
I loved One Piece before it became famous. When it did, I lost interest in it. >_> Eichiro Oda may be a genious, but what the Italian market started doing with this anime just really turned me off, sorry.

Beylade | V Force (G-Rev had the same)
Oh hell yeah, lol. I started watching it because the main characters reminded me of the GW-boys: Takao - Duo, Kai - Heero, Max - Quatre, Kenny - Trowa, Rei - WuFei... but later on I got carried away with its flow. My brother and I both still have our Beyblades, he Driger and I Dranzer. V Force has probbably the best op. song I've ever heard, on any anime, any language. *_*

Yu-Gi-Oh! | GX
I liked this one, even tho I rarely could watch it because I was always at school when they aired it... I loved how the usual 'damsel in distress' was not a girl but Seto's brother, Mokuba. He was cute. X3

That was fun~ brought back heaps of memories... There's more, I'm sure, maybe if I'll feel like it I'll add more some other time.

Back to sleep now. Tomorrow's a big day and I've got to get ready. ^_^

... a bit late, but I hope it works just as well. To those who do and to those who don't celebrate Christmas - I hope it brought something good to you either way.

As for me? I'm tired and headed for bed. In the last few days since my exams I had to get together everything; gifts, decorations and plans for New Years~ *sighs* I randomly put the lights on the window in shape of a heart - it's Kingdom Hearts! *nerd*

I've been feeling like Gundam Wing lately, oddly enough. I've been going through the thons of papers in the attic to find heaps of GW fanart from 5 or more years ago and I really felt like re-reading some fics I printed back then, like 'Niobe's Violets' by Ashura, which is my all-time favorite... so reading it before bed is a very appealing thought right now.

Merry Christmass! ^^

PS: 3 days to go (till Sora comes over)

I'm late updating this… but every time I tried to, I had to sit back and close my eyes for a sec to give into the memories. If I knew cosplay could give this much emotion, I'd have started with it sooner.

Let's not get all crybaby right at the start. If cosplay, girl/girl, boy/boy, girl/boy pretend offends you, don’t read any further. It so happens that we didn’t exactly care about any of those as long as we had fun.

From DeviantArt:

Geeezus, I look awful. >_<;





Oh, I remember this one! XD “Do something yaoi, please…” “Sure… how explicit?” “To the max!” And I sat on the stairs, had Sora straddle me and snogged her, lol. Too bad the pic doesn’t show the whole pose~ X3 Thank you!

Thank you, everybody;

Ana, Lucy, Kiru & Stephanie – Thank you for showing yourselves as really good friends and helping me get through IRL problems so I could be in shape to live this through like I wanted to. I won’t forget it. X*
and others! Thank you for a wonderful weekend – let there be many more!

Next Con: Fumettopoli, Milan, 23rd and 24th February 2008.
I’m dragging (at least only) Pablo along. XD He likes the yuri action after all… And Miki and I discussed a possible cosplay DDR raid and some skits, sounds good. ^^ I’m probably going as Shippu!Naruto (or Sasu, if Guily wants Naruto?)… no more sweaty sauna Orgy!cloak till next Lucca (when I’ll go as the awesome that is Marluxia (it’s a group cosplay, Giuly = Sora, Giuseppe = Riku, Miki = Vexen, Mattia = Zexy… not sure for the rest, but I think we're almost full?)).

In the mean time, of course, there’s a gatrillion of other things to take care of. I trust I don’t need to list everything again, do I? ^_^;

Sorry for the long entry!
~Fox

PS: I SLEPT WITH SORA! XD No, really, we shared the bed in the hostel… *gets glared at* … what? °-°?

PPS: Strapping in hurts like HELL. For days after. Just thought I’d make that crystal clear, randomly.

Some things weren't working out in my life. It often happens that we cling and care for what we think is important... and then sometimes later on realize others don't think that way. Especially because they don't care enough to actually ask - it's easier to jump to conclusions.

It's alright tho. Every now and then turning a new leaf is good. I'm working on the confidence to back myself up, I should choose my friends better, I suppose. We never stop learning, is my guess - and some facts surprised me in a good way throughout it all, esp. concerning 3 friends from high-school, Pablo, Lar and both of my Soras. Pablo is made of awesome, Lar's tag is always with me, Giuly called me last night... and Shelly talked to me this morning. Thanks to all, I love you guys.

So for New Years? SNAFU, Commissions, my Manga, cons and hopefully graduation aswell. Because no matter what, life goes on.

Off to my books now.
