So sorry for the lack of activity here!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm working very hard on the sequel/upgrade of the game Sacred Seasons. (on Facebook) We have an awesome team, and it's going to be a lot bigger and better than our first version. I will have some previews of my new character designs up here soon!

Meanwhile I want to remind all you watchers out there that I'm a lot more active on Livejournal, where I post sketches and other stuff that's not really dA worthy in my opinion. I also post a bit about books, films, comics, animation, sketchbooks, real life adventures, kittens and STUFF that has my interest at the moment. So if you're interested in those things, take a look. And if you like webcomics and generally cool/ avatarded/ creative blogs, take a look at my modest friends list (it's a similar system to watching on dA) where I try to collect ALL THE AWESOME PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. Better yet, make yourself an account, it's fun. You get a lot more freedom and possibillites than twitter or blogger, and it's where all the cool people are. In my opinion. Just kidding.

But seriously, I've really moved all my regular(2weekly?)internet activities over there, so if you're wondering 'didn't this girl use to have interesting updates on her dA journal?' well there's your explanation.

Updates here soon!

Old ladies in the Kazurabashi mountain Onsen(hot spring)in the Iya valley, Japan.

I'm back from my world trip and it was absolutely above expectations. The sights, the places, the people, the food, the freedom, the unexpected... I return as a more patient, aware and overall happier person.

If anybody wants to see what I've been doing all this time, or you're just in the mood for pretty pictures of Japan, Australia and Fiji, check my photo albums: [link]

No new art any time soon, I have exams and other commitments all summer. But new stuff after that for sure!

Thanks for the continuing support and comments,
Love to you all,

Ming

See you all in the summer!

Every single year, I'm determined to be a better replier and responder to all the wonderful reactions and support I get from everybody in this community. And every year I seem to fail...

I just want to let you guys know that even though I don't reply to everything, I do read and appreciate it immensely. Your enthusiasm and encouragement are priceless, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for it!

2008 has been pretty amazing to me, both in art and life, and I'm grateful for everything I've learned and experienced this year. Will post a nice nostalgic reflection soon on my Livejournal blog ^^

Also, my 200k pageviews is coming up, and I'm planning to make something special for whoever catches that screenshot! So keep an eye out and have your request ready!

Happy holidays and a great 2009 everybody! See you all in the new year

haha ok so this person is selling the UGLIEST doorhangers with my Sailor Moon fanart:

LOOK HOW UGLY IT IS:



AT LEAST MAKE IT RED!

I'm not sure if i'm feeling amused or infuriated. On the one hand it's flattering, and I'm kinda curious if they sell at all, on the other hand... [CENSORED]

It's probably the girly layout with too many hearts, and the obvious effort she put into these ridiculous products, that make me both snort with laughter and boil with a need for revenge.


EDIT: OK after my first venting i'm a bit calmed down. Thanks for you who helped me nuance my tone a bit and those of you who supported me with tips and uhm shouts. I already reported a complaint at Ebay and will do so untill her products are removed, and hope that will be enough for her to learn a lesson. I'm sorry for my impulsive first reaction, but really needed to vent. Let's hope Ebay will take the necessary steps to discourage art theft for others enough, so we can leave the torches and pitchforks home. [/EDIT]

Thanks!!

And many thanks to for notifying me!!
