Hey guys, glad to be back!

I have to say: I had a great trip there! Wasn't the sunniest week on the beach, but the family feel of it was super! I'm already missing it, but it's also great to come back to my little "office." I sure came back with plenty of ideas for illustrations and I'm hoping to sketch them down as soon as possible - yep, I forgot to take my sketchbook...

As soon as I arrived (yesterday), I logged on to DA and saw that I have plenty of new friends and comments! I'm sooo happy, guys! I'll take the time to reply every single comment, thank you sooooo much! I was even tagged by zerara, and I think it's a great (and easy) way for me to introduce myself! ^___^ So here it goes - the rules I'm following are:

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 5 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 5 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

Thank you again, zerara! ^3^ Here I go:

1. I live in Japan, but I'm not Japanese. My parents are, but I wasn't born in Japan. I'm a Nisei. I'm Japanese only by blood.

2. I'm a videogame freak. I spend more time playing videogames (mostly RPGs) than doing any other of my hobbies. In fact, it was RPGs like Dragon Quest that made me want to be a professional character designer.

3. My favorite videogame system is the Super Famicom because it fuses the best of the classic gaming with the visuals of the newest generations of consoles. I just love it!

4. I'm not a fan of yaoi. I got the impression that people think it's a rule for girls that enjoy manga to be fan of this genre, but it's not.

5. I love to play electric guitar and I want to start a band! ^_^ For the guitar lovers, my current setup is: PRS McCarty, Marshall AVT250 and a couple of effect pedal from Boss. Hooray for the noise makers!

Hmm... As the rules says, I have to tag five people. So...

Heheh! Guys, feel free to don't respond this, but I really reeeeeally would love to know a bit more of all you! ^_~

Bye bye!

Hi there, pals!

This is my very first journal since I opened my account back in 2005! Isn't that something? No? Huh... The thing is, my parents are going on a trip for an entire week, and guess what? I'm going too! Seven days on the beach, baby! Yay!

So I guess I have to say 'bye bye' for a while! I had so much fun on the last couple days, just discovering everything here on DA; the pleasure of commenting on great art, meeting amazingly talented people, discovering new techniques, inspiring myself like I never did before and, the most important, making friends! It's a bit sad for me, now, to stay away from all of this, but... Well, a girl have to surf a bit.

On a side note, I would love if you guys give a visit to one amazing talent:



...he's a pro (genius) inker, and I really think that everyone should at least take a look at his works - mainly if you think that your inks are good! Give some love to him, he is special - and look at his kid, sooo cute!

Thank you soooooo much for all the support I've receiving since I came back to DA! Not that I left DA before, I just... Oh, you got it!

Thankyooooou! See you all in a week!

ps: poor, poor english...
