Steam rises from a cup of tea
and we are wrapped in history,
inhaling ancient times and lands,
comfort of ages in our hands.

Hi there!

How are you all doing? Nice weather huh? Well not over here, here it's cold and windy and juk.

Some people asked me lately why I change the clothes of my characters so much. Because it makes them less recognisable. I think not, or hope not. I like to differ the clothes my characters wear, because I don't wear the same things all the time, nobody does. I love so many different styles, that I can only imagine my characters would too
But the formal clothing, like the clothes of the Guardians or Kaito's tribe clothes, they most remain the same. But somehow I am never statisfied with them, so I keep changing them If anyone ever feels up to designing me some, let me know and do your worst. I would love somenew ideas.

Another question I got was why sometimes Moriko has a MechPro (the prothese) and sometimes she doesn't. That's mostly because of the timeline. Halfway my novel, Moriko loses her arm and gets the prothese. So if I draw something that happened before that scene, she won't have it.
The same question about the feathers behind Moriko's and Lau's ears, they don't have them all the time. Like 3/4 of my novel, they don't have those earthingies. They get them as they grow a certain age and develop a certain power. The wings they got from birth, as they grow older more and more power will develop and their bodies will change. So those ear wings are really because of their age.

Some characters do change though. I am one of those people that think up a character and as they grow and develop in the story, there appearence seems incorrect. Makes me think of Kaito (which is right now being considered to write as Kaeto. Just because the pronouncation stays the same, but it looks more foreign ), Kaito had brown hair in the beginning, changing to blonde (mostly because I loved Cloud Strife his hair XD) and than setteling with white. White suits him, he's from the high north and lives in snow (mostly). Moriko's wings changed too. First I wanted them to change colour with the light thouching them. But The Guardians are descendants of mother nature, so later I wanted their wings to look like real life birds. So I changed Moriko's wings to a barnowls. Right now Lau is being changed quite dramatically. When I first started writing the story, everything was pretty much black and white. So were Moriko and Lau. Blonde, black and wings, white and black. I don't want that anymore. Lau is a well developed character by now and not just a bad guy. It's tough to change something that has stuck for so long though. But I am changing Lau. His hair might get brown or red and his wings might get green or a mix of colors like a parrot. I hope you guys will tell me what you think by the time it's up
I have been thinking to take my old drawings down, because the characters changed a lot, but I'm not sure. What do you think? Take it or leave it?

I hope that answered some of your questions
Be free to ask them, because I love to answer them!

My scanner is still out... Damn.  
Sorry for the blurry pictures, I don't like it either. I'll try to fix it soon, I promise

I will represent you a tea poem again!
Come and share a pot of tea,
My home is warm and my friendship’s free

Have a great day!  

Yes you heard me right and you probably knew all along
Humans are the most selfish, irresponsible and idiotic creatures on earth (and elsewhere too). At least that's my opinion, you don't have to share it with me of course!

Everytime I see war on the news or people that raped or killed animals for no reason, I get ashamed of myself. A few weeks ago in a television programme they told us about Angora and Merino wool. Wool gathered from sheeps and rabbits. My god never have I seen something so inhumane! I went to sign petitions and send out emails to stores who sold those types of wool. Thankfully they stopped selling it. But gods, I can hate humans so immensly much at times like those.
Who gives a sh*t about animals, we are so much better anyway. Who cares about the Earth? I'll be dead when when big things will happen. Idiots! All of them!
There's is not much that can get me pissed of, but humans can. Why do you think most gods are human? Because we think we are the best and only a human can do the job.
That's not with every religion the case though, like the Japanese religion also have animal gods.

I read and saw this deviation and immidiatly went like:'Thank you!' So read it It's true.

I really do want to let you people know (whoever reads this anyway ) that the Guardians from my stories have wings, but are not angels! Their wings have a purpose, bestowed on them by mother nature (an animal god). They have to be worthy and lack other abilities. My Guardians have been in existence for years and years now, created by me when I was in the beginning of middle school. I just couldn't dispose of them XD

Like most people, I have a dream of flying on my own. But I don't want humanity to actually be able to do such a thing! We wreck things on the ground enough don't you think? Imagine what we would do if we could fly. Sure no more airplanes, but I bet there will be other disasters soon to follow. No, we belong without wings or jetpacks in my opinion. I just wanted to share that with you.
You don't need to share my opinion, but I just needed to blow some steam off haha.

I have some sketches that I will soon upload. Sorry that I haven't uploaded in a while. I'll make it up to you soon!

Well since it's Deviantarts birthday Congratulaitions! Whoohoo

My Deviantart story isn't one that is spectacular. I joined because a friend of mine was telling me how amazing it all was. It took me a really long time to get started here. I didn't understand how to upload images or how to write journals and nobody seemed to be able to help me out.
But the lay out of Deviantart changed and I began to understand. It's really easy now. I've been active lately, almost watching and checking every day

I post my own work, not all of it, but some and the reactions I sometimes get motivate me.
There are amazing artists here who all are blowing my mind away. I watch and learn from them. Almost everyone here is learning and trying new things. We help eachother en give eachother some selfesteem
Sometimes looking at someone elses art makes me feel bummed out. Thinking I could never do that. But most of the time it just gets my spirits up! Motivating me to try my best and learn every day. Deviantart helps me find inspiration en helps me learn, what more can I possibly want?

So congratulations Deviantart! And may many fantastic years be ahead of us!
