12 weeks of sickness - why do I still count the weeks even though I am going off the med? Because I still have chest pain, folks. I am not healed but it looks like I am going to have to deal with the rest of the healing process the old-fashioned way - time and more time.

Just a reminder: I will away from this computer again this weekend so I can try and study/prep for tests, presentations and finals. I will be checking email in the morning and evening.

I got a gorgeous Wolf's Rain artbook in the mail! What I especially like about it are the character development pages, where it shows changes the different charas went through before getting to their final anime looks. Some of the initial designs for Kiba and Tsume show a more feral look to them, which I kind of wish would have been kept, but it would have made them look more otherworldly and they would need to be able to blend in with the regular humans. It also has all the other character designs for the series, which is really cool. Some of those nobles have killer costumes and their otherworldliness is exotic.
And now I know how the names are supposed to be spelled. I got Darushira correct, yay for me!, but the interesting thing is Toboe is spelled "Toboe" in Romaji but "Tooboe" in katakana. That's right, it has an additional "o", which I find odd. So I have been spelling the name wrong in Japanese the entire time but nothing was indicative of that extra "o" anywhere.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
