Yes, I know I don't favour updating my journals much, but the previous one is too depressing to be put up here for so long.

I'm trying to keep myself happy by picking up new hobbies, and I think it's working now because I feel more happier compared to last semester. I can't understand why everything seems to go wrong back then. A friend told me I'm being too pessimitic, and I know she's right about that.

Have you ever feel that an entirely different fandom can introduce you to another unrelated one? I can't explain it very well, but to me, it's usually something to do with Japanese/English voice-acting in animation or games. I always end up liking an anime series even though it's not my preferred genre just because I like the seiyuu (VA). I was introduced to The Mr Men Show because there are at least 4 of the VAs who are in SO1, and I think that is somethin! Oh yes, I've known the Mr Men/Little Miss franchise for years, but ths is actually the first time I've got to know them a bit better. I like the classic and the new designs, really.

I think I'm taking longer time to finish my works lately. The SO1 art took me more than a month to finish! Of course I have RL commitments, but I think I'm amazed that I still have the motivation to finish it. I am working on one at the moment, and this one will certainly be added to the "finished in more than 1 month" category again!

Well...yeah. That's it.
And oh, I can't wait for KH 358/2 Days!
The KH DSi design is very LV-ish, but I like it, nonetheless.

I generally am like that, too. I'll go see another series or something just because it has so and so actor/voice actor that I really like. Mind you, it doesn't happen very often because usually what Ivfind isn't something I'm too interested in.

Ah, I finally picked up Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the PS2. 8D I had no idea they had released this for a system that's not handheld. <3

Speaking of hobbies, did you want to do another art trade sometime? I realize they're closed, but I haven't done one with you in a fairly long time now.

Glad I'm not alone, then :p I've known of people often favour watching certain series because of their favourite actor(s) in them, but not so much fan following on VAs showing up on animation/game/etc.

The PS2 version should be better than the GBA version, shouldn't it? At least you get to play on bigger screen and easier to mash the controller buttons up! There's two parts of the game in GBA version, and I only finished the first part and totally forgot to play the second one.

Trades? I'd love to, but be warned I may take a loooooong time to finish it this time, because I want to make it special. JK :D Studies commitment. D: Just send me a note and we can discuss if you are ready!

I love watching anime series and listening in and go, "Hey... this voice sounds familiar...OH OH OH! This is so and so's voice! OOOH. 8DDD"

I dunno if it's better or not. o_o I haven't started playing it yet, but I don't have anything to compare it to since I never played the GBA version. ;__; But yes, big screen will = <3 I totally will be inspired to make KH merch once I've started playing it. ¦D

I don't mind, as always. 8) It may be a while for me, too, because of studies and AP exams next month, but I'd like to at least busy myself with sketching it or something. <3 I will Note you sometime soon. I just have to figure out what I'd like... :3 What do you feel like? One character? Two? Girl? Guy?

Oh? I thought you've played it :p I'd love to know what else is there in Re:CoM other than the added voice-acted scenes. Would Sora sound as deep as in KH2? I do believe the time gap between KH and Re:CoM is very short, but who can blame Haley XD

Hmm, choosing is hard work :/
Maybe we can have at least 2 persons in it? (2 guys or girls or one of each)
I don't want to have a change in mind like in my previous trade! Truth to be told, I'd LOVE to see you draw Ashton (SO2) again, but I also like to see KH works from you. Hm, but your pokemon poll made me interested in seeing you draw Glaceon too!

Naw, I couldn't play the GBA version because I never was allowed to own any handheld consoles growing up. Dad always said it was bad for my eyes concentrating on a poorly lit screen. T_T

As far as Sora's voice , I'll give you a shout what it sounds like when I get a chance to play it. 8)

Haha, choosing is the hardest part. XD I'm totally up for 2 or more characters in it. 8) I really need an excuse to practice group pictures/interactions. And you know what? I'd LOVE to try and do a KH picture whether for our trade or not. 8D I know I'm going to end up making one anyways once I play CoM. <3 So what you want is totally up to you. I'd looove to do another picture of Ashton, too, since... well... it's been four years since I drew... this. D: [link]

And Glaceon you can chuck in my art request journal thing so I remember and I'll send you a charm of it or something when I send you the print of your trade. 8)

Uhmm, you're gonna submit a print for our upcoming trade? But I didn't do anything similar for my part...are you sure it's OK? D:

If that's the case, maybe I won't ask for a KH pic for my part of the trade. I'm not in a particular fangirling mode at the moment so it's tough for me to decide what I'd love to have.
Hmm...I don't think I've seen you drawn girls very much, so maybe I'll ask for at least one girl to be in the trade XD
Sorry, but maybe you can tell me what you'd like for your part, then I can decide soon after?

I could actually start working on the trade soon as long as it's before the winter holidays (July) as I'll be away for a 3-week's field trip during then. Otherwise I can only start on it in August. When do you think the best time you can start on the trade?

Not submitting a print-print to DA or anything like that. ¦D But like the last art trade we did, I sent you a print of it, remember? The Zack and Cloud picture? =) Dunno, it's one of those new things on my part I started to do for art trades. :3

You're right - my gallery is lacking in the girls department. XDDD /fail Nah, no worries, take your time. I think I know what I want, but I have to draw reference pictures of them. XD It's this fox-eared guy of mine and a cute little GIRL. Zomagad, what? I have girl characters? XD

Yeah, I'd be comfortable working on something between now and then. :3 Whichever you're more comfortable with as I don't really have any plans outside of Anime Evolution. <3

Oops, I meant actually sending the hard copy of the print itself to my address...You sure that's not too much of a hassle? I'd do the same too, if I know where I can make my own prints. Just to make it fair, you know?

I would love to tell some sort of story in the trade - not just some character poses. And maybe add some background to it? Of course it's just what I have in mind, if it turns out too difficult to come up with a themed picture, I'll drop this idea. What do you think?

I'm still pretty much in the Star Ocean mood, so I would like to see your version of Millie ([link]), and maybe Ronyx ([link]). Both are from Star Ocean First Departure and are more like friends than couples. :)

Wait...which SO1 VAs are in the Mr. Men Show? XDD

I'm glad that you're feeling happy, though. School can really get a person down; myself included. I haven't felt much like really uploading any of the art that I've done, because...well, I feel like it's just not worth it, ya know? D:

Yes, I know that feeling of "unworthy" and how annoying it is. Had it several times too! Sometimes I still feel uneasy if I see some seemingly simple works but they get more attention than some other ones out there. I'm trying not to hate uni, so you don't go hating school too, yea? :p

The SO1 English VAs are Alicyn Packard, Katie Leigh, Richard Epcar and Sam Gold. Some of them sound pretty close in the show to their SO1 roles, so they're pretty easy to guess. :p I enjoy this show (other than having some familiar VAs) but it's rather short per episode.
