Hello Everyone!

[link]

I took part in this contest and will be glad if you had a look at the entries :)
But don't be too quick to vote for me, this is not the purpose of my journal entry! There are at least two pumpkins which are better than mine, so if you're going to vote, please do it by heart! :)

Thank you!

My One Month Fanart Project

Hello everyone! Long time no see :)

But don't think that I haven't been busy these days. I've decided to do something absolutely not in my style - fanart :) I found in the Internet this thing called "Fanart 100" and since I've watched and loved several animes lately (like Yu Gi Oh, Shaman King, Death Note, etc.) I've started drawing one of them as part of this project. Can you guess which one?

Don't worry, this won't last long, I'll soon return to my usual stuff, as soon as I finish the Fanart 100 thing. I've given myself a month to do it and I'm already half way there! (I won't post nothing here, though, I'll just publish all the pictures when I finish them)
