whirlwind comic idk.

setting this to hidden because of very, very disturbing content... well, in several ways. I honestly regret making this. -facepalm- felt like I was wasting my time, sorry. I just don't know why but I'm terribly unhappy about the result, but posting it anyway in case someone might find it not disturbing. huff. maybe humor is just not my thing. -shrugs-

anyway, proceed at your own risk. thank you for visiting, guys. :'3 and counting this as the eleventh challenge done for the art improvement challenge, which is to make a oneshot comic. huff.

whirlwind chibis... sort of.

thought I'd end this month's posts by something sweet. been drawing too much Nami for this tag, so I guess this piece could offer something fresh... somewhat. :)

thanks for another visit, guys. hope this month has been a nice one for you and that next month will be as nice or even nicer. you guys are amazing. hope you're all doing fine and are happy, okay? ;D -comfort you guys with some songs that Gustafa sings and some homemade meals from Ruby, fufu-

flashback.

Nami and her mother -which is kind of an OC- during the sixth chapter flashback of whirlwind.

really, really old doodle that's been stuck in my folder for months. shaded everything and added the background and extras just yesterday, though. now I kinda get why I didn't get a good score in the background assignment I had last year or two. -sob- will try to practice more background, that is. huff.

as for now, thanks for viewing this despite its rawness and everything, guys. see you in the next post. ;)

wasting away.

moondrop.

dear fair moondrop | I want you to know | that I admire you.
dear fair moondrop | I want you to know | that I dream of you.

please take me to | a dream that will | drift me away.

I want to fly | as if I were a kite | crossing each and every plains | kissing the sun and shining star...
I want to fly | crossing each and every plains | which any cliff can never end | until one day I can... | return back home!

.

the moondrop song. the song that Gustafa writes to Nami in the third chapter of the story. :)

and... what a translation. -facepalm- sorry cause I added some extra words like 'dear', 'shining', and some other minor stuff because it just kinda doesn't make sense if I translated it literally. -facepalm again-

-sob- I remember having real fun trying to get into Gustafa's head and imagining what kind of song he will write. :') I am forced to get at least a little romantic and that sure is hard. -look down- Gustafa, why do you need to be so romantic even though that's one of the things I like from you? -stomped-

haha. I wish I can write more GustafaxNami moments in the future. need to show more love for my otp, needn't I? ;') -giggle excitingly-

thanks for coming again, everyone. thanks for viewing this old and actually once abandoned work. -facepalm- hope you're well and that this day can be a nice day for all of you. I feel happy. maybe I should continue waking up before six cause it feels nice. :'D -but that last one is a bit unimportant and off topic, so sorry for that; once again, have a nice day, guys! ;)-

actually a new drawing for whirlwind! :'D

this has been laying unfinished for months. -look down- and the paper's a bit wrinkly cause I erase some parts too many times. -look down even more- but I'm really happy with the result. I'm happy cause I'm finally able to draw something whirlwind-related again, even though it's another Nami. :'D -I really need to draw some other characters, I know-

well... still have to work on proportion and background. more practice, it is. :)

at the meantime, thanks for the visit and the appreciation. wish happiness for all of you. gonna post more things sooner or later, so hope to see you on the next post, guys! ;D

the first scene -yeah, that short prologue, indeed- in whirlwind when Nami stared at the sky, right before the rain poured. thank you so much for this amazing tutorial that helped me a lot when I'm doing the background. I rarely practice any background, so... :'D

and... whirlwind... -sob; kicked-

haha. honestly I'm really happy with how this turns out. I mean, I know I still have a lot to improve, but I truly am happy with this pic here. I can't believe I finished something that could satisfy myself and I... well... thank you, guys, for checking this and... well... appreciating and... just thank you and sorry if this makes no sense I'm just happy. -stomped-

thank you again, guys! :')

gratin! ;D

[pic is finished and posted on September 23, 2012]

cause I've been longing too much that quoting something, even if it's kinda lengthy, from the story seems like a great temporary cure. -shrug- translating passages sure is interesting and hard at the same time...

and now that I look at it, garsh... this sure doesn't look like a gratin soup. :'D I mean, the bread on top of the onion soup sure is too poorly-drawn that it looks like a fried egg and, garsh... for real, the whole dish itself looks like an egg noodle! :'D -which is still tasty, but; well; laugh at myself; kicked-

well... sorry for all the mistakes in the drawing, guys -just search for 'gratin soup' in the internet and you'll see how faraway this is from how an actual gratin supposed to look like-. hope you all can wake up with a smile today and thanks for visiting this blog again. :)

hope today's breakfast will be satisfying, too. heh. somehow, I feel hungry just staring at this drawing of gratin I made -never had any before; wish to taste one someday; maybe I just have to spend some nights at Ruby's inn in order to get it; mind starts to throw all bits of logic away; laugh; slapped-

and forgot to put disclaimer here, sorry! -stomped-

may be unimportant, but...

I miss continuing whirlwind so much. -sob-

shortly told, had a dream this afternoon that seems a bit exciting that I decided to write it down in a certain document, which turns out to be the place where I put my rough draft for whirlwind. and looking through it -and some other personal, heart-warming stuff-, I just... I can't... I wanna write again but am too pressured to even do so lately and that's just killing me softly inside. -look down-

trust me, this is by far one of the fics that I enjoy writing the most -I've been trying to write an orific that seems fun to do, too, lately, but my mind won't let me get too faraway from whirlwind- and I just hope that you guys kind readers would find it okay to wait. also thank you so much for all the support all this time and sorry for this rant and the continuous delay, everyone...

-sigh- maybe not today, but someday I really look forward to at least finish one scene to finally add to the current story state I'm in. hope I can always do my best, so thanks for sticking with me, guys. :'D -and wait for me, Nami; there'll come the time when I'm finally able to mess up with your mind again, haha; kicked-

more whirlwind fanart. ;)

this pic has been laying too long in my folder. :'D started this on December 2011 and just finished it yesterday. and the fact that it's not the only delayed piece I have is just... well...

at least I'm glad that this is finally done. I'd love to post more arts for whirlwind, after all. :)

and this is probably some practice I had back then to draw different expressions of Nami. I don't exactly remember why I ended up using the view of her desk -are you sure putting your diary on your desk is a good idea, dear?; kicked; it's cool that you have a radio, though-, but hope it doesn't seem that messy. well, even if it is, I need more practices on drawing backgrounds, anyway, so thanks for appreciating. ;D

also, yeah, the pen and the word 'Nami' is indeed a reference to the second chapter of the fanfiction, if any of you recognize, so... erm... that's it, I guess. -slapped-

thank you so much for another attention, guys. sorry if I talk or post too much sometimes... hope I don't really bother you guys all this time and thanks for being so nice. :') once again, thank you.

...so there goes the traveler.

"wind,

where will you take me again this time?"

finally a new fanart for whirlwind! :'D -do a small yet silly dance; kicked-

and these are what would probably be called as 'first school days doodles' since I did this whenever I had the chance to draw stuff, which is usually scattered about five to ten minutes per subject; that is, when the teacher is still on his or her way to the class. heh. -washed away-

and... erm... just practicing to draw Nami from several poses that I rarely try, I guess -yeah, I still need a lot more practice, I know :)-. I still can't really draw proportion that well, but I'm gonna try. also hope that I can try to finish more whirlwind fanart as well. I don't know... it just seems like a good plan to me since I've been hitting writer's block lately that the fanfic may not be continued that soon, so... -sigh-

anyway, thank you for viewing this pic and appreciating it, guys. :') I'll try my best to continue the fanfic -despite writer's block being around-, too, cause I know even my own self wants it to be completed. haha. so... erm... thanks for always supporting me. :')

last words, hope you guys have a great morning -or maybe somewhere between it and afternoon if you're in my timezone- today. nice and clear morning like the one I'm having now sure makes me wish to get the chance to see the morning in Forget-Me-Not Valley somehow... -sigh- I mean, even Ruby said it once...

"I think you will be really happy suppose you can see the morning in Forget-Me-Not Valley. The mornings here are truly beautiful, especially in spring seasons like this."

-this is not spring; my country doesn't even have spring; fail quoting; why do I just quote stuff from my story now; did I really miss writing it that much; look down; sob; kicked-

heh. sorry for the randomness there, guys. thanks for the visit and hope to see you all again in the next post! ;)

...now this really makes me wish I could do something more about whirlwind and Nami. -sigh-

so, erm... thank you for viewing what seemed to be the fastest oil painting that I've done -and the one that I'm actually most satisfied with until this point, heh-, guys. for some reason, I'm so happy of how this piece turns out. erm... hope that doesn't sound overconfident or something like that, but I really am happy. :')

Nami... -sigh-

moondrop.

just moving this picture into its own post. not sure what I'm doing or why, but hopefully this can somehow make this blog feel more organized and me feel a bit motivated to continue whirlwind. it's holiday and the fic seems to make no exact progress, so... :'D

and it sure is funny to say that I've grown some fondness to this flower lately. its yellow petals just represent the light of the moon for me -even though I keep forgetting that the edges of the petals are supposed to be round and not pointy like this; sob- and... -sigh- is it odd that I might actually start to believe in the tale about moondrop's scent and how it could send you to someone with the same scent that was randomly put in the story? :'D -slapped-

also, I think I'm beginning to miss oil painting or maybe just simply making any new art for whirlwind. there are actually some rough sketches laying in my folder now; and I have no clue when any of them will ever be finished. -sigh-

all and all, thank you so much for viewing this and for the appreciation, everyone. :) I'll post the other one soon, so make sure you're ready -for what I don't even know; it's not even a new art; sorry for my randomness tonight; bye, guys :'D; sob-. haha.

random sketch of Nami...

Nami...

she's probably the one thing from Harvest Moon that's been really stuck in my mind for years now. -sigh- I just love her and... I can relate to her stress, I guess...

and since I have so many free time in classes these late days -I don't know if I'm entirely happy about this or not...; sigh-, I finished a little sketch of her. :)

and I gotta say that I'm really happy with the result cause I've been trying to draw Nami in random days for months but a lot of things seem to be missing. I don't know why or what they are; but, seeing this: the one picture of her that makes me feel kinda satisfied after a long time... I'm just...

-sigh-

I'm just happy, I guess... :)

and feel free to view and comment, guys. feel free to tell me about your thoughts, including things that you think I can improve. thank you!

garsh... seeing this, I really wish to update whirlwind right now! ;___; well... hope I can continue the story soon...

and now, looking back to the story and every good moments I have when writing it, I...

again, I just really hope to be able to continue whirlwind soon. well... it's true that I still have some writer's blocks. the sixth chapter has been stuck on the last scene for probably a week now, while the next two chapters still have a lot of holes, especially the eighth chapter. but, I think I'm gonna keep on trying. so, thanks for the support, guys. ;) I hope I can always give my best.

-sigh- ...that line sure is just a little hard to look at right now. sorry...

so, erm... again, thank you so much for supporting this story and all of my other creations -and apparently, me- all these time. thank you, thank you, thank you. :')

well, you'll probably hear more of my happiness upon seeing that whirlwind has progressed this far in the author's notes of the sixth chapter, so I hope it won't be long until it's finished. ;) thanks again for the support. you guys really help me find my reasons to keep on writing; to keep on doing something that I really love. thank you so much for that. :')

also, thank you so much for everything; and for reading this. wish happiness to all of you... hope the new chapter comes soon! :D

lastly, I love you, Nami. -ran before got slapped-

butterfly and Nami.

my old avatar in FFn. :) her palm is kinda odd, but somehow I like how the background turns out. I don't quite remember how I did this, actually. -stare sadly-

and the butterfly is probably inspired from Paramore's brand new eyes cover. for some reason, the song The Only Exception kinda reminds me of Nami, so this might just be an attempt to connect both. heh.

note: decided to move the other two fanart to a new posting now that I know the function of tags. hope you guys are okay with this decision and thank you for your attention and appreciation every time, guys. :')
