I'm like...so ashamed of this but but...yeah. :c I was trying to get over my fear of drawing men in a somewhat close to semi realistic way so I sketched up some of the OCS here....and and...here are the terrible results.

Ahren - Noah - Emile - Callen
SO TERRIBLE. ;n; I'm gonna go back to drawing animals and people as chibis, kay? Kay.. Because I'm pretty good at animals and then I produce this. :c /shame



Eizumii: Noah is a cutie as always. SO CUTE. Look at that blushing face /pinches cheeks/
Your chibis are adorable. ;0;

Oh yes yes, I love the pixel! So much Its fun! :D I'm almost in summer now and I just built the news-carrier house. Maybe its just me but I had a really rough time finding spot where it will fit. D: Ehhh I worry about making room for the other houses. I used wifi for the first time and got a ton of money from these great milks and stuff. o-o The one downfall is my bag always runs out of room during foraging. :c I think there is a upgrade sometime in the future though maybe?

Kuma: Thank you!

Sama: yay yay yay yay! I can't wait to see the finished chibi of Lily and I can't wait to see what you did with the couple one. Whoop! I love getting Sama art. ;u; Um um um, I've assignments and then commission so...I'll work on something for you soon. I'm thinking of doing a chibi if that's alright?

//Actually I love art from all you guys. So. much. talent.//


Jeanne: Even your scribbles are beautiful! I have no ideas what is going on but it looks really neat! :D I love music storyboards like this I'm excited to see it finished! I know you've got a lot of personal projects and school assignments, but if you ever get a break and want to do an art trade let me know.



Everyone:

TALENT EVERYWHERE

My goodness. I can't take it. ;u; My humans no where near compare...Haha...I'm going to go back to drawing animals cause I'm good at it. |D

Anyway I've got to stop procrastinating now. I've got a assignment due today and then some commissions I've got work on. See you all later ~

4/8 Update: Whoa, reached the first minute. @3@ .25 the way done! :D And who saves Xilan- gasp? XD I'll need to find a better upload site soon, I don't think Photobucket can handle this though. Any recs?

Derp derp quick update before I run off to the art gallery for five hours. O.o I'm a liar who can't keep things secret- walk with me step by step! Real quick because I saw some questions: Sama- I'm using Sai to sketch but I'm going to render everything in PS because Sai has a really soft kind of quality that isn't good for this. Windows Movie Maker is the cruddy program that's putting music to all of it- it's so unwieldy, but I just need a sense of timing. Birdie-And it's all following the Atlantis AU plot more or less, so if you're confused.

RESPONSES AFTER I COME BACK WHEE I'M LATE. @_@

EDIT: BAAAACK FROM THE GALLERY. It was super gratifying seeing all the art up and everyone all appreciative. Also, I gorged myself because one of our art students is a superb cook and made delicious everything. But now my feet hurt from heels, ahaha. >.< I am not skilled enough to stand in those for five hours!

So now, replies ahoy (sorry if I'm not coherent anymore >.<):

I finally found my copy of ANB! 8D
Weird thing is, it was in my school jacket pocket. I found it during french class while I was looking for a pencil.
I'm going to admit after playing Fire Emblem:Awakening for so long, it feels weird actually being able to talk to my husband.
And not having to worry that everyone will hate him, and pretty much only I care. qwp

Replies soon, since I'm about to leave my friend's house, but for now, finishing the fine details of Birdie's couple drawing when I get on the train and started a chibi Noah- here's the progress of both c:
Edit: An update on Birdie's while I wait to be picked up part way ~u~
Edit2: A wip of full body Noah- I tried to keep him cute but... ;u; Still needs a lot of work, so maybe! He'll be holding a watering can vuv
Replies and better scanned updates when I get home or in the morn, depending on how late it is since it's already one am. :,D

Nervous about posting my lame OC, especially after Sama's art since I really love it and so, uh, here, before I change my mind...
Sorry
1) that it's super huge
2) that it's a lame pose
and 3) that the blue feather owner's hand/sleeve isn't colored. I know I'm going to marry either Sanjay or Soseki, so I have yet to color the arm since they're totally different looking.

Terra, it's not lame, it's really cute! I'm glad you decided to share, and excited to hear which bachelor you choose in end. :D

(and asdfg thank you for saying you loved the art. ;u; )

Yeah, I just got the game before my Spring Break, so I kinda...you know...obsessively played it an not that I have school I'm kind of shunning it so I don't get sucked in and not do my math homework... Ya know. But thanks! Further description of the situation: But, yeah. I found your art on dA yesterday by a (happy) mistake and then when lurking around here today matched up the two accounts. The whole Tina Rangers saga was my favorite!

Reply time!

@Kerria: New thread looks great! ;u; I've already had quite the time with Iliya's profile, and cooking up more ideas for it... should be fun!

@Kuma: Ah, thank you! Seeing your art is always a pleasure as well-- wait, Charlotte what are you doing with that gun?? o_o

@Eiz: I'm so glad you like it :3! And asdfghjkl I'm glad you like the eyes, they're my favorite part to draw as well. Sometimes I just want to draw eyes and hair and then call the picture finished... hence my lack of experience with lower body and posing orz. And no worries, take all the time you need! No rush at all. Also I must say that Noah cleans up very well in that suit, who could say no to that face? :D

@Birdy: Ooou, all the boys are looking quite spiffy for sure! I'm not sure where you see any bit of shame in that picture because I think it looks great! Really liking the formal theme that's been happening in this thread lately :>.

@Jeanne:

No but seriously, that storyboard is definitely looking interesting so far! Another very ambitious project; one I'll be keeping an eye on for sure! Also glad to hear your art gallery went well .

@Sama: Those are gorgeous! :3 Love the poses for Ahren and Lily, so precious. And Noah's army of baby chicks CUTENESS OVERLOAD ;u;. Wonderful as always.

@Terrafirma: I like it! It's a very cute concept, and your MC is lovely . Either Sanjay or Soseki is going to be a lucky man! And we love seeing art here, there's no need to be nervous :>.

Jeanne: Aw well thank you- and of course of course, I just sometime in the future if you ever want to trade keep me in mind. ;u; /fail/ I hope your set gallery went well!


Sama: ahhhh! They look so adorable! you draw poses so well it looks great! Your so good at expressions too!

I feel like many would mistake them for a romantically involved pair- they're just so sweet! ///and now I want to write/doodle something like that///

Really though its so great! Lilys all delicate and sweet and shy and Ahren doesn't care to just pick her up/snuggle/whatever. :,D I love how soft you made her, and I really like her hands. And of course I enjoy her little sparrow friend added I there.

Oh and Noah's chibi and just adorable. I love the chicks, When you're not so busy I'm gonna have to ask you to do a chibi of Ahren. .u.

Terra: she looks cute- I already know I'm making Lily marry Sanjay- he's just seems like the cutest- plus I have a soft spot for polite men. ;u;

Reni thank you! I always see things wrong with my stuff. Yes yes the formal theme is so fun! I want to write something with it or maybe I'll just steal OCs and draw the in dresses.

Speaking of writing, I had this idea of writing a short Drabble with some of the OCs where they are camping out with scary stories and stuff /I image Ahren and Sam telling stores while Noah/Lily/Lotte huddle and try to ignore the sounds. And maybe Emile/ Lectra can just sit there like /bring it

I don't even know.


---sorry for all the bad grammar guys its late here and I'm on my IPad, ;u; I'm going to bed now goodnight

So I did a tally up and that's looking to be 60-70 panels for the entire song. ....I'm certifiably insane. X'D So I'm definitely not doing this in full color: black, white, grey, and blue ahoy! Also, so I don't inundate the thread, I'm going to try to restrain myself and post more boards AFTER I reach a marker, like the 2:00 mark.

Also, I'm looking for a good epilogue/credits song because weirdly enough, I still want to mess with myself more and I need more space not only to give credit but to tell even more of the story. I have a poll going on at my Arght thread. But my music knowledge is pretty limited, so if anyone has good recs, I'd really appreciate some!

@Reni -I have a perfect response gif on my laptop, but iPad is silly sooooo-

*squishes my own cheeks* Eeeeeee. Yaaaaay, I'm kind of stupidly excited as well, ahaha! I know the boards are pretty indecipherable at parts (haha, Atlantis the city being just a blob of scribbles, yeah....), so I'd be totally down with explaining some parts, especially if I find I need to do some edits for comprehension! And I won't let you guys forget it with the way I've been obsessing and going on about it! XD

And thank you, I'm so relieved that the gallery is done, to be honest. It was great today when we got to go outside and bask in the sun during art class.

@terra

Tina Rangers is one of my favorites too, ahaha, all the shipping and comedy! I like your drawing and your character looks really cute!

@Sama

Oh man, they are toooooooooo cute- love your drawings as always. I adore all the chicks on Noah (he does get all dem chicks hurr hurr /brick'd) How do you do such good couple pics? @3@

Teach me, ahaha, because how else am I going to have those one or two frames of Sanjay and Tessa getting shoved together? (And it gets even worse once you hit Amir and Xilan because they're all workaholics who hold hands and fight and make wonderful things together but keep forgetting to kiss goshdarnit my own character are not supposed to be this difficult with me)

....gonna go to sleep before I become even more incoherent. Peace, y'all!

@Wolfy: Thank you so much! ♥ The idea of a formal ball has lots of potential and it would have been practically a crime to let it pass by without doing something! Hopefully I'll be able to do more drawings on the topic if time lets me.

@PuriPuri: Aaaahhh thank you! ♥ Allen might be my favorite bachelor to draw, he's just so full of SASS!（≧∇≦）Hehe, maybe I could doodle something with him and Yumi later, but I need to finish my other trades first!

@Sakura: That's quite some time! What book are you waiting for? It must be very good if you are willing to wait so long! The longest I've waited for something is about a year for AC: New Leaf to come out, and I expect to wait about the same time for Fantasy Life... I'm so impatient though!
But back on topic... Who would you like me to draw and in what style? ( ´ ▽ ` )

@Kuma: That's definitively because Allen is the macdaddy of supreme style! Haha, thank you! ♥
Lotte... You... Are full of surprises, aren't you...? （ﾟдﾟlll） But I need to use my cellphone to browse the forum while on school! P-please don't kill me!

@Birdie: ... *scREAMS* E-excuse me while I fangirl over there for an hour afdsgfsfgsfdad- I don't even know what you're talking about Birdie, they all look so handsome!! And Noah looks so cute asdasddfs my baby!! (；▽；) Aaaaahhhh I love it! You should totally step out of your comfort zone more often if that means the results are like these, I mean it! （＾◇＾）

And you seem to be advancing pretty fast in regards of the game! Upgrades will come along soon (I think the bigger rucksack is unlocked on Summer or Fall of your first year? I don't really remember, but it was pretty early on in the game...) so don't worry, aaaand remember, if you ever need something we're here to help! (⌒▽⌒)

Oh, oh, oh! That drabble idea is just fantastic! ( ` ▽ ´ ) Someone should totally team up with Sam and Ahren and like, pop up from behind a tree and scare everyone senseless, hahaha! Man... That takes me back to my youth... So, like, two days ago, hehehe.

@Jeanne: Hahaha, thank you Jeanne! ♥ And yes, for the longest time I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to draw legs! Nowadays I'm more comfortable with the idea, but they're still hard to get right... And don't even get me started on feet and shoes... *sigh* Well, not much to do bout' that besides practice, practice, practice! ┐(￣ヮ￣;)┌

No problem! Compliments need to be made where they're due and so far you're doing a fantastic job! Besides, 60-70 panels + the epilogue!? You really are committed! I can't wait to see the progress up to the 2:00 mark! （*＾ワ＾*）And hmmmmm. about a song... My first impulse would be to suggest "Ya Viene El Sol (Here comes the sun)" by Mecano which I strongly relate to Atlantis for some reason, but it's in spanish (heheheHEHE) aaaaaand I don't even know what mood you want to set for the epilogue which would vary my suggestions quite a bit!

... I swear I heard a distant yeeeeeaaaaaaaah when you made that pun about Noah and chicks... and then I burst out laughing like a total dork. PUNS 4 LIFE!!!!!!

@Sama: *sCREAMS ONCE MORE* ahahsjaksajJASHJAJSJASJAJSJAJSASHAFS??????????? GOODNESS GRACIOUS SAMA!!! You drew him just PERFECT! The chibi is just adorable with all those wittle chicks and the fullbody oh my gosh the fullbody asdsfsad!! *swoons* I can't wait to see them finished! (｡♥‿♥｡) Thank you so much!! ♥

@Terra: Awwwww, no need to be shy! Your OC's art is lovely and you shouldn't feel nervous about posting it, as Reni said, we LOVE seeing art around here! Man, if I ever created a file for my Harvest Moon self-insert Sanjay and Soseki would also be my number one options (as in, the most likely I would date IRL)! That's quite a dilemma you're facing missy, haha! But I'm sure you'll make the best decision! And I can always date whomever is left. *wink* ☆～（ゝ。∂）(that was meant to be comforting but apparently it... isn't...)

@Reni: Hahaha, I wish I could do that too! I almost always begin my pictures with the eyes (which is something of a bad habit because I should begin with the guidelines instead but fgsfsgasgags) and then I'm so fearful of ruining the picture by doing anything other than the face... And yeah, I also share your pain with the lower body and posing... Highfive? (´；▽；`)/ Awwww, thanks! ♥ I'll pass the compliments on to the stylist and tailor, haha!

EIZUMII. THIS SONG. IS BEAUTIFUL.

(I mean, I'm still open to more recs, but still.)

I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY, LISTENING TO THIS SONG. (Also, hablo español y entiendo la canción y me encanta y eeeeeee)

/Also, please excuse my overexcitedness, I'll be gone Thursday to Sunday on MIT's prefrosh week and... I think I'm about to burst from a combination of excitement and the anticipation of total lack of sleep.

....Whoops, guess I shouted that too loud when I posted. Ahahahaha. And yesssss, let the tompunnery never stop.

On a more serious note, the epilogue is a mixture of melancholy and happiness- kind of a life goes on sort of thing. We have happiness (marriage for the two lovebirds, Tessa and Sanjay), melancholy (Olivia handing over her fiancee's crystal to Xilan, Xilan dreams of love and old happiness), and a kind of promise for continuing life (the king getting his crud together, people learning how to fish and farm and survive and live again, Xilan becoming important in that and also looking into the possibility of getting Amir back).

Also, I kind of want to add a little fastfoward 8,000 years with Kida as queen, having been in the Heart of Atlantis, visiting the very old Xilan and them sharing a sort of moment. Haven't quite decided yet! Also, the epilogue is meant to be mixed with the credits, so it'll alternate between credit and then scene, kind of like the Stingers they have in movies. It'll also name all the characters- I want to use that happy scene of them walking and talking I drew a while back and color that to be like, "here, this is Amir", "this is Xilan", etc. Hopefully that kind of says the mood for the credits/epilogue stuff.

...I think I have more stuff to reply to, but I'm kind of too excited for CPW- so I need to go pack, ahaha.

@Eizumii It was the last book in the Inheritance Cycle (like the book Eragon, if you dont know what I'm talking about) Oh, I can't say the longest time I've waited for a game... Hm... I think it was some pokemon game I waited over a year for. As for back on topicness, as of today, I started a new file (and saved over Rin's because of conflicting feels) and chose boy (so I can crossdress and marry Iroha :D) I also have 2 other OCs hiding somewhere that didnt get a file, so I'll go through some old ppictures to try to find them.

I made somewhat of a ref for Lily ~
@Eizumii
Yes and I went on wifi the other day and someone gave me a silkie egg! ヽ(；▽；)ノ So I'm pretty excited about that!
I actually have an idea for someone to do something like that (basically scare everyone) But I don't know who yet- I've gotta shift through OCS and see who would be the type. Maybe Elena? I dunno.
