Hello Everyone (☆^ー^☆)
How is everyone doing?
KoriArredondo samskia I know college/high school is rough. I hope you're both doing well along with everyone else here that I didn't tag/link.
(u/////u) I want to take a moment to thank a precious person for wheeling me back here through gifting me something wonderful.
THANK YOU Winyumi for gifting me 3 month premium membership <3333 I'm so grateful for this present (;///; ) I'll do my best to be active on here for the next couple of months. As some of you may know I have been hibernating on and off on Tumblr.
( ⋂‿⋂’) I went on hiatus here because I did not feel that my work was quality enough to spread around on here whereas Tumblr is more like an easy drag-drop-and-post. It didn't make me think too much about what I did. I still did check for notes and comments on here frequently. But please forgive my inexcusable absence on dA.
I believe the last thing I did on here before poof-ing away was making an icon for
Youmacon-on-dA Some of you may know or not, I go to Youmacon yearly since it's in my home state. This upcoming autumn will be my 3rd year going to Youmacon!
〜(￣▽￣〜) Depending on my schedule I might not be able to do maid cafe but I'll root everyone that does go and volunteer! I hope I can contribute more to Youmacon as time goes by.

(' v ') oh I also went to Anime North this year! I got to meet
Winyumi Kaze-Hime ofSkySociety Ariuemi hagridR onedayfour Aka-Shiro maiji lackless and so many other amazing artists (>/////<)
I mainly hung out in artist alley, outside of Toronto Congress Centre, and dealers room. I got lots of pretty prints, artbooks and saw a ton of amazing cosplayers! I got enough doses of Levi-heichou (u//v//u)
I got this really adorable octopus and this precious alpaca with someone important to me that I'm going to treasure for a long time to come~
Did an art trade with Winyumi !!!! (>////<) //holds onto it tightly// Thank you winnn <333
I also got lots of lovely commissions.
Left to Right, Top to bottom:
1. ofSkySociety - Yuena Song
I can not express how thankful I am to be alive to get a commission from ofskysociety whom artwork and style I deeply admire/adore/love <33 I really love how Alice posed her, makes me reminise how "wild" and adventurous Yuena is. Alice is such a nice and beautiful person!! (>//v//<) If she goes to AN again, then I'm definitely going there. - =͟͟͞͞ ( ꒪౪꒪)ฅ✧ Thank you Alice <333
2.
lackless - Selena Nakashima with Duke (Umbreon)
A beautiful lovely commission from Lackless whom I adore <33 Immediately watched her when I saw her art on Law-of-X (>///<) I still can't believe I actually got to meet her too! Thank you lackless for drawing Selena so nicely - her elegance with her Umbreon is so alskdfjlaks //full of feels//
(´▽`ʃƪ)3.
Aka-Shiro - Sunny Suzuki
I really really admire akashiro whom I watched for a couple years now. To commission her is like finding a treasure and a dream come true!! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ She nabbed the seriousness that Sunny has and the aloofness too - pretty amazing. I definitely want to commission her again and buy her prints <333 Thank you aka-shiro/kai for the beautiful drawing<333
4. Ariuemi - Yuena Song
When I saw Arichana's artwork on the table I was so captured by how beautiful her work is. I'm so glad I got to commission her （‐＾▽＾‐）she made Yuena sparkly and pretty and everything I can't possibly do. she definitely gives my bby a more unique and gorgeous appearance - thank you Arichana <333 ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
5. maiji - Selena Nakashima with her Kiseki (piplup), Duke (eevee), flame (cyndaquil)
THE FEELINGS OF THIS CHILD with the little ones. the happiness. the adorableness. so apparent (TT///v///TT) Seeing this makes me squeal with joy at how much I love seeing my child and the cute pokemons. I'm really thankful for Maiji (humangray.com) for being able to capture this love so well <33 Thank you Maiji <33333
6. hagridR - Akimitsu Shima
Was blessed with a HANDSOME artwork of Akimitsu (my lone male child) (>///////<) When I first saw hagridR's art, the first two I immediately thought she can draw well is Sunny and Akimitsu - eventually I decided on Akimitsu. So glad I left him in hagridR's hands <333 (Q//v//Q) l-look at how beautiful my bby is.. //holds this gently// Thank you hagridR <3333
Thank you all the artists I commissioned for being so awesome at what you all do, it's so pleasant to see you all and commission you all. (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*
Aside from commissions I also got meet some very beloved people that I look up to and buy prints from some of them too~
Kaze-hime's beautiful, gorgeous, mind-blowingly-awesome (all the wonderful happy words)-- I'm so happy that I got the chance to meet her in person and buy from her directly. It's such a blessing.
（=´∇｀=）I fangirl'ed a lot when I went back to the hotel room while flipping through all the pages
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))), along with intense moments of silence admiring and learning from kaze-hime's artbooks and artworks. Not only does she have an adorable art style but she's also very friendly and super adorable in person. I really look forward to seeing her again in the future (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)and I also can't wait for the next artbook "Ruirin Fae Costume Collection"!! definitely saving my money for that!
I watched Koyamori from wayyy back as well. So incredibly happy I got to meet her! (✿´‿`) Her artstyle captures a deep side of my heart, it's very gentle, colorful, adventurous and mind-bogging (in a good way). And her art never fails to calm my heart. I can't wait to buy her other book next time I see her! <33 (❁´‿`❁)*✲ﾟ*
HGNASLKDFAS Ofskysociety/Alice has an incredibly amount of magnificently beautiful works. I got the smaller prints since it's easier for me to post them on my wall.
Words can not describe how much I'll just stare at these with so much awe (´∀`)
ameru 's lovely postcards U////U
When I first saw this online I INSTANTLY wanted to get this from Ameru (⊙ヮ⊙) Even got her initials on the back <33 (^∇^) Adding this to my postcard collection ehehe. knowing myself I'm going to try to get the other sets if she goes to anime north again (u///u)
I accidentally left some of my other prints I bought so my good friend is taking care of it for me for the time being (; v ; ).
I also go to play with my friend's adorable Rensouhou-chan <33 Super adorable, more popular than any of us ahaha and it can move it's cannons and it's eyes and turn its head!! So mind-blown at how my new friend could create this.
Seeing my friends
chinasaur, June from Battle Damaged Cosplay (
www.facebook.com/BattleDamaged…), Lauren, and the entire crew of CosHalfNaked (
www.facebook.com/yaycoshalf) and their friends makes me feel so happy u////u
I either saw them in their cool/awesome/amazing cosplays or just seeing them like any normal people. <333
Oh a memory I won't ever forget is how I got lost/separated from my group at Anime North and I broke down into tears. Ahahaha. Looking back at it, I'm pretty adorably silly for getting lost ahaha
Overall I had a really fun time at Anime North and I can't wait to go back next year!!!!! ❤ Huihui/Shui
