*hugs* Thank you, you just can't understand how happy your comment made me^^ I used to have some issues concerning posting (fan) art because.. I've sort of always known I can draw, but it's always scary to show them to others. I know my pictures reflect myself quite a lot. The stuff I draw comes straight from my soul, I could say; I show what I like, what I believe in, what kind of a person I am. My flist is really adorable and encouraging, and if someone doesn't like my stuff, he simply decides not to comment, instead of flaming me. When I really realized that, I became braver and now posting art is just like posting graphics or caps -of course I'm excitedly waiting for feedback, but it doesn't make feel nervous and.. well, scared anymore.^_-

Writing intros is an entirely different thing, then *lol* English isn't my first language, so when I'm not really focusing, I feel my texts become rather stupid x) If someone takes a look at my fan art picture, perhaps all he sees is a pretty boy and that's it. But if I explain what I've intended to make.. if I really start talking about my feelings.. I always feel a little silly. Over emotional. Something. Someone says one wrong word and I might end up feeling very embarrassed *sighs*

So.. reading that you got into this little imaginary play of mine so fully made me feel relieved and insanely gleeful^^~<3 Because, the worst possible scenario is that you wouldn't have seen what I see, resulting a lot of rolling eyes and weird faces and awkwardness (I stopped talking about my art to Katja quite a while back because of this -she's just so realistic. I guess she feels sorry for me because I'm such a head-on-clouds person^^).

*headdesk* And here we go again *lol* Really, all I wanted to say was thank you for making me feel better :) Isn't it funny how so small things are made of gold? (Or then I'm getting old and grown-up~).

Mmm, that Tora you mentioned.. it's actually a mystery to me, too :D It took some time to really comprehend that making fan art isn't necessarily about copying the original image; I can alter it to my heart's content. So, with this picture, I was aiming at some totally different emotions. Just making the tiniest of changes in eyes cause the whole expression change dramatically. when I finished drawing his face, I saw it was nothing like I had wanted; it was better. I think it's because of the hours I spent staring at the original shots, creating the story. The whole thing sank so deep in my mind that when I started to draw, I subconsciously transferred the emotions into the pic, making it look ass-kickingly gorgeus ;)

Ladidaa, ladidaa, now I go to sleep, before you start feeling way too dizzy^_^; This isn't jabbering anymore -this is a disease *LOL*
