Favorite Quote:
Outside the station, she stands with her child on the side of the street, taking pictures of cars.<br /> <br /> You think she&#039;s insane. Until, one day, you notice that she&#039;s taking pictures of the license plates of the cars her child gets into.<br /> <br /> Because you look. But you do not see.<br /> <br /> And she walks out the shop with bags full of cat food. You think she&#039;s some crazy cat lady until you find out, she has no cats.<br /> <br /> Because you eat. But you do not taste.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s been a while since their last album but he assures you, he&#039;s doing just fine these days, white flecks in his nostrils. Then he asks you if he can spend the night on your couch, even though it stinks.<br /> <br /> Because you sniff. But you do not smell.<br /> <br /> And they say &quot;Just OK&quot; when you ask them how school was. Then you wonder what they&#039;re hiding until you find their diary and the last entry reads &quot;I wish you&#039;d give me some privacy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Because you listen. But you do not hear.<br /> <br /> And they&#039;ve got a bruise over their eye and you run the tips of your fingers over it and ask them how it happened. You believe them. Until it happens again.<br /> <br /> Because you touch. But you do not feel.<br /> <br /> And they walk past you everyday, one million stories, each waiting to be told. Waiting for you to ask.<br /> <br /> Because you live. But very few, love.

Idk- if you can see it yet; I posted it on this forum and on the poem forum but it's probably going through the check thing because it's about WW II.

I hope you do, as I have many works here on TI already, and multiple more on the way. In this moment in time, I'm currently coloring in and adding final touches to another anime, hopefully I'll submit it in the next few days. :)

Ah, I see it now. I like the idea you had going with the projectiles. :)

 

Thank you. Kazuki-sama was done for a friend a year or two ago for Christmas. She used to rp and that was what her character looked like, although her character was named Kuruno. The drawing was originally called Kuruno. But, then we had a falling out and I decided to change the name, because I really didn't like looking at Kuruno's name and having to see that reminder, so it changed.

 

I honestly think that Gray Wolf could have been so much better in a lot of aspects. It was originally supposed to be a realistic, but it doesn't exactly look too real,istic, and I drew it a year or so ago, so I'm trying to get better with my realistics. Zannoz is a drawing of one of the characters for one of my stories that I'm working on. Doesn't really show much of him, though.

 

Thanks for looking at them. :)

Yes, it does seem to grow as it comes out. Nice perspective there. :) I'm not very good at perxpective myself, though. It's difficult for me to draw something that looks like it's getting bigger or closer or anything like that. Did the ace of hearts come out of the hand, too, and is it like falling or something? Or no?

Do you like the smaller cards coming out of the hand?  It is supposed to grow as it comes out.

I think that game sounds familiar, but I've never played it. Yeah, I like your die, that and the card turned out pretty good. Well, from my standpoint, since I've never played or seen the game, it's original, but whether it is or isn't, it's still cool, and you did a nice job on it. :)

I got the idea from a game called kingdom hearts so it is not something from my mind and yes it is an ace of hearts.  I messed up the die a little but it turnd out pretty good.

I have to say, I really like the nice little touch of the card. Is it an ace of hearts? I mean, I'm a bit partial here, though, since I love playing cards, Texas Hold 'Em with the family and friends, etc and card tricks as well. I especially like the title of this piece, I just think it's cool. Very original idea, and very creative.
