I haven't felt like writing, so I've been drawing instead. This was done for a banner over at my Bo7 comm.

Sooo pretty. I do love your style.
It's very much your own.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Tahnk you, Sesnsei!

I do try to be unique... ;p

I did find some beautiful fanart that I wish I could draw/Paint like that... *sighs*

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

I can only say that we all look at work by others (writing, art, music, athletic talents, all sorts of things) and go "if only." Your art is beautiful and your style unique: keep remembering that when you look at others. :)

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

True, I shall look at it as a way of getting better! I really could use more figure drawing parctice. ^^;

Thanks! I know everyone's style is pretty unique, except when they're trying to do "anime." Then it all looks so generic no matter how well done it is.

One of these days, I know I'll be able to put the emotion I felt looking at that other work into my own work. Until then, I'll just keep drawing... ;p

Indeed, your art is fantastic. It is so opposite to my own; you make the world a kind sweet place, while I make it wicked and skewed - I love it! - Keep it up. The tenderness is just such a rare treat for me; I wish I could be so warm and sweet. Guess I'll just have to get my fix from you, girl! :D Wonderful!

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

You have a strongly stylized manner in your Inuart. I like it a lot. I haven't seen other work you've done, but I always enjoy when artists take a subject and make it their own.

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Would you be interested in making a drawing that could be used as a prompt at Iyhed sometime? Something suggestive and in your style? It would be fun to do that (we did it once with a piece by Jojo-kun and it worked well).

I'm going to ask Kira too.

Let me know :)

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

By the way, would you be interested making something we could use as prompt at Iyhed? It would be fun to do that (we did it once with a piece by Jojo-kun and it worked well). Aim for something unique and smexy?

I'm going to ask n0t_again too.

Let me know if you wanna.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*blushes* tahnk you. I Love your art! It is real & emotional & so powerful! I knwo it grabs me & puulls me into it!

XD That's cuz I'm a hopeless romantic. It bleeds into everything I do. ^^;

Thanks! & I shall come to you for a dose of reality, where life is life & not always sweet & romantic...

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I'm glad you like it. I don't much drawing anymore, I prefer to write, but my Inuart looks just like all my other art, I suppose. ^^;

*nods* Yeah, it's fun to that... GAGH! XD Now you've got me wanting to draw, when I should be finsihing my fic. XD

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

I'm not getting to do either :(
Am grading exams. *sobs*

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Sure! Just let me know what you want, I would be honored to do so! Also let me knwo when you need it. That way I'll make time to do it. The sketching only takes me 10, 15 minutes, it's the coloring in that takes me hours. This one took about 3, 4 hours & it's very simple.

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Take your time. You could try a grouping of Shichinintai in some moment of possession or jealousy, a BanJak tease -- the goal is to have it offer something that would inspire writers to bring their words to it. So the only thing that might not work well would be a straightforward portrait of one character. Let me know if you want to discuss it more. Thank you for considering this!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*huggles*

Yeah? *giggles* I used to draw all over the back of my tests when I was finished. XD

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

I'd love that. Some art on the back would be better than some are doing on the FRONT with words.

LOL actually I made the test too easy and they're all getting better grades than their study skills merit!

[rebukes.livejournal.com]

*Jawdrop*

Wow. This is by far my favorite out of everything I've seen by you so far. The expressions on their faces are so...serene and the color is beautiful.

:o I think I am a fangirl of your art.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Okay. I think I see what you want. I cna try sletching soemthing out later & I'll post it and if it's what you want, I'll color it in.

This sounds like sooo much fun!

You're welcome! And thank you for asking me!!

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Could I ask you instead to email it to me when it's done so it stays secret and then we pop it out as a prompt at Iyhed in the next week or two? After the week as a prompt, you can put it up wherever you want, of course. We'd just have it on loan for a week (like the fic entries). And oh, I'd then like to use it for the winners' banners for that week, if that's ok.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Send me a test! Taht's not good... ^^;

Yeah? I had a teacher who one tiems mentioned that only 2 peopel passed, myself surprisingly one oif them & he asked what he could do to amke the test better. I said, give us all a an extra 20 points, so I got a 100. XD I was kidding... But I guess he felt it looked better in the grade book that way. XD

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

OMG wild story. I hear of teachers who tell their students the first day that "most of you are going to get D's on the first exam" or the like, and it's so disheartening. I make my first test easy, but if you don't study and you fail, you fail the whole course. So it gets rid of the ppl who just plain don't do the work. Next test gets harder!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*blushes & picks up your jaw* ^^;

Thanks... You're making me blush more...^^; It's just a soft romantic pic. It was doen for my beta's banner, so i asked her what colorrs to use & she suggested green & gold. I just wish Ren's ear came out better than it did...*sighs*

Can I be a fangirl of your ficcage?

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Will do! Just PM your email so I have it & I'll send you the sketch first & if it's good to go, then I'll color it & send it back to you. Sure, you cna use it on the banners that week!

*laughs* Is it okay if I write for it too? I can sign it small enough so that you won't see it, although, I'mm sure a couple of people will recognise it as my art.

[rebukes.livejournal.com]

We are always the worst critics of our own work. I adore it.

And yes, madam, you may fangirl me at will. XD

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Wow, interesting question. I'm inclined to say Go for it! But lemme check with co-mods about "fairness." When we did Jojo-kun's art, she didn't write. But I wouldn't have minded if she did. I think our members will be fine with it, but one thing we could do is ask ppl to comment to the prompt post (screened) with any concerns they have. Am sure no one will, but it allows people to express their views and that's important.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* That would definitely have me looking to switch out of that class.

Interesting... That probably does weed out the slackers. And tests should be like that, the more material you know, the harder it gets.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*laughs* yup! Seriously, I never thought I was that good...I knwo peopel who are way better than I am. It was just something I did... *shrugs* Like some people are good at sports...

YAY!! She called me madam! I always wanted to eb a madam... with a stable of hot femmy boys instead of girls.. ;p

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Check with the mods, & run a poll if you need to & whatever decision you come to is fine with me. I can always write on my own when it's over. ;p I don't want to start any wankage as I've had enough to last me several lifetiems...^^;

[rebukes.livejournal.com]

Yumz, pretty femmy boys. C__C

That idea just made my morning. :o

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Thanks! I'm glad I could make your morning! ;p

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

I know honey. We all have.
I've just put up a "no more" wall in front of me at this point. Every time I try to communicate it seems to make things messier...or anyhow not fix anything. So now it's just no talking about 'relationhips' with anyone online. The end. :)

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Good idea... I know... That's why I tried to stay out of things, yet I got dragged into them anyways just by being a good freind & listening. No more. I've thrown out my couseling sign. I hope the seagulls in the dump have as much fun playing with it as the rats. ;p

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Eek, I do hate to see you so cynical. All will be well with a little time and distance. I want and believe that.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Me cynical?, Nah... That's just silly dark family humor. ;p Whenever we throw soemthing out, my brother hope the rats & seagulls at the enjoy it as much as we did. ;p

Time heals all wounds as they say... ;p And distance from the problem can't hurt either. ;D

[n0t-again.livejournal.com]

I would love to try. I'll see what I can do and email it when I have something. Thanks for the offer. :)

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You should! I've got a pic all sketched out & now I'm going to color it in. ;p

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

Thanks for considering it!
And keep in mind that though a portrait might be less useful than a group pic or just something unexpected, it does not have to be a smutpic. Just something to inspire it.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Sensei, check your gmail... there's something there for you. I finished my pic. ;D

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

YAYYYY I go look now!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Enjoy!

[n0t-again.livejournal.com]

OMG - thank you! I never thought of my work as emotional before...

[saraste-impi.livejournal.com]

This is very nice!^-^ Your lines are so nicely soft and the colours blend beautifully. And you have such a warm and evocative style, I get a comforting fuzzy feel from this. <3

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Your work is powerful & speaks to me of raw emotions...

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah, I have very soft shading, don't I? ;p

The colors were my beta's suggestion, since thsi was done for her banner at mine & Tasuki's Bo7 comm.

Thank you!I'm glad I could give the warm & fuzzies with this. XD
