Hello there!!

I'm sorry I have been dead for a while, a long while. There are technical problems with my computer. I'm seeing all kinds of coloured blobs on my screen, which I can't see through at times. Luckily it glitched now and I can see fairly through. There is someone who is going to fix this (hopefully) on this coming monday. And if that isn't all, the boyfriend of my sister deleted the scanning program and I don't know where he left it. So this will also be delt with on monday. This way I can scan in my Anime convention photo's as well as some drawings.

Don't be discouraged, I have worked on my requests a bit as far as it goes with a f'ed up screen. So I haven't got reference for some of them.

There is also the distraction part hihi. I recently got a boyfriend (it's 1 1/2 month now ). So this is sucking up some time too. Therefore I haven't been so active as I were and the same counts for the forums I'm registered at. But don't be afraid, I won't turn my back towards anime. My boyfriend is as much an anime freak as I am .

Well this is a short update of the stuff that has been going on recently. I'm planning to be a bit more active and set my life straight, because having a boyfriend means you have to plan your things a bit differently. He also wants his time with you as well as seeing some anime with me .

Ja ne,

Yumeni-chan

-Personal Projects-

1. Introduce more Original Characters.

I think that will make it more fun for my watchers and me. Plus Original Characters can be recognized by others more easily and you can make fanart .

*1. OC Orioke no Jutsu.*

This is a 'ripp off' from the Introduce more Original Characters. I will be doing Orioke no Jutsu on my Original Characters. I think that would be loads of fun plus I'm learning to draw female curves and the like . Because I haven't got any female characters.

2. Create female Original Characters.

I just realised that I don't have any female characters, only male ones. So I need to create a few. That way I must learn more about drawing the female body. I have a hard time drawing it, which is very confusing because I'm a girl and I can't draw female bodies. Go figure.

3. Finally begin to scribble the outlines of my manga and update the storyline, maybe even making the cover.

This way I could be recognized even more and you can read a nice story (and yes I'm addicted to this smiley ).

4. More stuff on the 100 theme challenge.

I plan on finishing this as soon as possible. That way I can practise alot, improve and the skills I learn from the challenge can be used for the rest of my drawings.

5. Drawing more realism.

This way I can improve in that too. Maybe even learn some anatomy along the way .

6. More fanart.

This way I can improve in different styles and maybe get the hang of it faster. Plus it's fun and you will be recognized faster. I'm sorry to say this, but it is true.

-Star System-

I think it's usefull if I explain my star system for the Requests and Art trades. That way you know how far I exactly am with your drawing.
0 I haven't begun on your drawing yet.
1 I have an idea on how your drawing is going to be.
2 I have roughly sketched out my idea.
3 Line-art is finished

This also means that your drawing is finished .
