!!!ROMANIA!!!
pentru romani ma gandesc ca plata s-ar putea face si prin ramburs, ceea ce implica, desigur, printarea si trimiterea prin posta a Commission-ului. De asemenea plata se poate face in lei, astfel:
Chibi si Sketch: 25 lei
Portret color si Fullbody rapid: 40 lei
Fullbody color: 50 lei
Comision intreg: 90 lei

**RULES**

*for Sketch, Colored portrait and Quick fullbody Commissions I will need the payment first, before I set to work on your requests
*for Colored fullbody and Full Commissions, the payment should be done in two halves. After I have received the first I'll begin working on your request and e-mail you the final sketch. The sketch is subject to alterations if these are desired, so anything you might want to add or remove or change, this is the time to mention it(you will be shown the modified version before proceding to the next step). The end result will be e-mailed to you at a high resolution after I have received the other half of the payment.

I reserve the liberty to refuse to draw a number of things which include: explicit pornography, yaoi, yuri, and generally explicit mature themes.
For any questions, please note me and I'll be happy to reply

Let's start with last Sunday night.
FRIGGIN HAGGARD FRIGGIN CONCERT OMG!!!!
for the uninitiated, Haggard is an epic symphonic metal band hailing from Germany. And they are so awesome words can't even describe!!!
try some music : www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4CS3n… - Tales of Ithiria
                 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7upuFS… - Herr Mannelig
                 www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_HGCD… - Eppur si Muove
                 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJaGoP… - The Final Victory
                 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAgzP6… - In a Pale Moon's Shadow
                 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0updt8… - In a Fullmoon Procession
What is Symphonic Metal? Well, think Therion. If that doesn't mean anything to you, you ought to feel ashamed of yourself.
Symphonic Metal: think awesome death growl balanced beautifully against the angelic voices of not one! not two! but three sopranos! and the ridiculously beautiful Tenor voice (see the Tales of Ithiria link minute 5'11" to understand what I mean), accompanied by as many as 18 instruments playing some kick-ass awesome orchestral/medieval type music.
If you enjoy this type of music, then I heartily recommend their latest album Tales of Ithiria, though Eppur si Muove and and Awaking the Centuries are pretty great as well.
So if you like them recorded, OMG YOU SHOULD HEAR THEM LIVE!!! IT WAS SO GREEEEEAAAT!!! Awesome vocals and instrumental and they were super fun and cool throughout the concert. They even came back TWICE because people were calling out for them!

This was the good bit, the not so bad bit... well, you know how I never touched a cigar in my 20 years of life? I think I pretty much made up for that in the 3 or so hours the concert lasted.

So when you add that to my incipient pneumonia, well, the results aren't that pretty.
It's awful, sometimes I feel like there's this void right inside my chest while other times it just feels like there's something trying to climb up my throat.
And I can't really do anything about it because, no matter what I do I'll still be  exposed to the awful cold in College building.
We normally get 20 degrees Celsius outside during the day, so it's likely you'll be wearing light clothes. And you go into the college, where the temperatures are more like 13 degrees celsius.
You don't feel the discomfort right away, it usually takes about three hours. It's a slow, awful kind of cold that seeps into your bones, making you feel like you'll never feel warmth again.
So I'm pretty much coughing my lungs out right now (and what a charming sound it is!) which eventually makes me feel nauseous and a bit dizzy.

My parrot nearly died this week as she tried to pop out an egg... for the love of God, she already had 5! I don't even know how she can squeeze them out, they're like 1/3 of her mass. We took her to the vet and thankfully she's back to her normal loud and annoying self. Her name is Oku, which is Japanese for annoying XD

Art in progress:

's commission - Lineart is comlete as well as 60% of the coloring done,  I did not anticipate how hard I would find coloring that armor, the accursed thing.

's Kiriban - thumbnail and concept sketch are done. it was a struggle for me for some reason

Never fear guys, I may be slow as $*&#, but the images are getting done.

At long last, I finally got my freakishly small hands on a DA subscription! (thank you nice people who voted for me and made this possible!!!)
Among other things, this means I get to use skins for my journal, which I've been dying to try... I just love skinable things, they soothe my insanity I guess <3

Of course, since I don't use the journal much, this posed a bit of a problem. I never know what to write in this thing but last night, I finally found something to blab about.

People who enjoy violin music and/or/AND figure skating have probably heard of Kings on Ice -for those who haven't, but are curious, it is an figure skating show initiated by Evgeni Plushenko and Edvin Marton)

Well, last night the show came to Bucharest again. Of course I went XD
OMG so worth the small fortune the tickets cost me!!

Sure, our one and only skating rink, while arguably spacious(at least compared to the last improvised rink we set up for them), looked like it was being held together by strips of worn down duct tape, and the seats were so filthy that they had to give out sealed coverings for everyone.   
But once they lit up the ice, and dimmed all other lights while adding generous amounts of smoke to mask as much as they could of the actual building, it was all good. Even the sound guys actually did a good job for once

The actual show was AMAZING!!! So many great skaters out there: Evgeni Plushenko(naturally), Stephane Lambiel, Denis Ten, Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat, Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkovy, Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov. The last four performed a "double couple" routine, which reached its high point when they actually did a double death spiral www.evz.ro/fileadmin/multimedi… which was insane!
Serghei Yakimenko who is a kind of figure skating stuntman, actually jumped over a car...without touching it...on the ice....
More acrobatics were performed by Fiona Zaldua and Dmitri Sukhanov, good God, he was swinging her so fast and with her head so horribly close to the ice, I just kept going "ohmygoohmygohmygod" under my breath.
Robert Cording and Oleksiy Polishchuk, the "man on man" team XD were the comedic relief of the bunch and they were very good at it too
Well, ok, Denis Ten was pretty funny as well, when he very seriously performed a ballet wearing a white tutu and embodying - what else? a swan. He was so graceful *snort*
And i mustn't forget Jason Graetz, who managed to perform a death spiral on his very own. Yep. They call him "the man with the rubber legs" and it is a little frightening to watch his legs bend that way. At the end of the show he inexplicably appeared dressed up as a hippie, super fluffy bear, bandanna and all
And of course Edvin Marton's music was awesome as usual!

Yeah, I had fun and to boot, I now have my sketchbook signed by both Mr. Marton and Mr. Plushenko woo!

Now that I have succeeded spectacularly in making the entire event sound like the most crazy, boring thing on the planet, I feel that my work is complete.
This was written mostly so I could dress my journal up....
