I am the and Sound effect ripper of the 5Ds Fandub group.



After more than a month, I guess it is time for another update and a new journal.
I guess it is just me ranting here, especially because not much has happened, except that I am now more than ever definitely into YuGiOh and not able to surpress it any longer. I am sorry for the watchers who watch my gallery mainly for my Sonic art, but I guess that I simply have lost my interest in Sonic when he began to be slowly but sure really childish. I mean, Sonic and the Black Knight?? WTF? O__o Okay could argue back, that card games are childish too, but in YuGiOh at least, even for someone who doesn't like card games, the series has more than enough things to be good. I mean, we see people suffer emotionally and people dying, and people wondering what to do in a hopeless situation or what to begin with their life.

The japanese verion of YuGiOh 5Ds just rocks. And inspires me, and I can do NOTHING against it. It just makes me draw and since what I draw is to be uploaded here on DevArt, you now can be sure: you will never get rid of YuGiOh in my gallery from now on. Seriously. Of course there will still be “Eternal Purity”, since this is my personal work, and since my YuGiOh inspiration also stimulates my EP inspiration, I started to draw more EP art as well. So maybe, in the end, it is not THAT bad that I am, inspired by a “children's card game”.

Also, in the end, it helped me to find more friend over here on DevArt, so I am not complaining. I just love my Kiryu-fangirls for example. ~JedahSparda, :devakiazyoi: and now the just recently got to know ~antigirlygirl, who even shares with me my deep KiAki love.

As for my normal life., I am currently struggling with exams at the moment and will do that until the end of July. And they are really hard, but I am doing well enough in them – still to learn in advance is not bad an idea, I would say. I still have to write physics, and especially anorganic chemistry. It is especially those exams that all the students are afraid of the most, because they always tend to ask things which only the professors can know. .___. It feels unfair, yeah, but I guess if I just learn the “bible of chemistry”, or the “Hollemann-Wiberg” so much that I have all the pages of it in my memory, I guess I will be safe. It is just that it takes some time to learn it in a proper way to not forget it. <.<
And somehow I miss Phillip. I hope he will be able to have a proper internet access again soon. But yeah, I know he is fine and I know his mobile number, so I can at least phone him whenever I feel the need to.

But now to the other things, because there are some things that I still just need to know from you, or things that I just have to give away.

HUGE THANKS TO

:iconmrcomissions: for letting me know where you are now.
you really should get more comments on your good art.

for the lovely KiAki comission *__* the sketch looks pure awesome! ^^

for the small notes and that we talk so much about our lives now. I really thank you for trusting me and I just love to make your favourite couple as plushies. Just wait until they are done, I am halfway through them

for... well, for your email adress and the small-talk we have. KiAki and YuAki forever. But heck, what do you think about Kiryu x Aki x Yusei? Wouldn't this be ideal for us both? Plus, I wish you good luck for your cosplay! ^^

for ... well, I liked your obviously hinted KiAki Fanfic recently. And thanks for sharing the KiAki love with me! ^^

for pointing out the small mistakes in my EP pages recently. and of course for loving me

and for the really awesome time today, which we spent in front of a computer screen, in the chatroom of MSN Live Messenger at 11 o'clock to the best time of livestream YuGiOh 5Ds. What I wouldn't do without you girls! ^^ Especially without you, Molly. Only you can inspire me to things which then cannot get out of my mind again until I have done them. *coughcrowakicoughdivakicoughcough*

for telling me how awesome my cosplays are. Aaaaw, it feels so good to know that someone likes my work so much! I wish you good luck with your Johan cosplay. Do know that you can come to me with all sort of questions and I will try to answer them, okay?

for commenting, as well as because he always commented, as well as I hope that especially you don't mind if I come to draw more YuGiOh 5Ds art. I know you want to see EP, but due to the inspiration boost I got, you for sure will be seeing more EP art than ever before.

COSPLAYS AND THE LIKE



Well, as for cosplays, I can say that I am now definitely working on a DarkSigner Aki Izayoi Cosplay. It will be based completely on my design of her, and... I am really thankful that my mum really DID get the material from me in Poland, where it is a bit chepaer to buy material.

Other than that, my wig arrived just two days earlier and I am loving it to bits. Now I dunno if I can really make this cosplay before the FBM2009 starts, but if I make it in time and if I really can persuade my brother to wear my DarkSigner Kiryu cosplay and come with me.... then my dream cosplay group would be more than complete. I mean, DSKiryu x DSAki.... this rocks! And then, with my friend Aiyou coming as normal Aki and ~KarniMolly coming as Divine, we even could take photos of DivAki in double pack, meaning DSAki x Divine x Aki !!! XD I love this idea so frigging much! ^^

so yeah, I have to see how to work it out with the cosplay in time. I have time until october. I hope we can get together a whole group of people cosplaying as characters from 5Ds. A whole Team Satisfaction would be good, too
Aha, and here is a photo of me in my new Aki wig.











and this is my brother in a very Kiryu like outfit. XD





PHOTOSHOP CS3 – HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM????
Thanks to the lovely Za-chan I was able to obtain Photoshop CS3 and that even though I always vowed to never pay any attention to computer made pictures, because they are way too easy to make and I want to give the tradtional art some home here.
But now I have given it another consideration and the curiosity is driving me to the question: what would it be like to at least try out and make picture on tablet??
My hope here was that maybe by drawing on Tablet, I somehow could get rid of all the inspiration that is laying in my head. I often have the urge to scribble small sketches, and to finish them on the computer might give them a chance to be later properly uploaded her or elsewhere on the internet, plus I always wondered how people colour digitally... and so I have gotten this program from my Animexx-daughter.

But Just having the program doesnt solve a thing: I have it, but don't know how to use it!!! O__o The only good thing it did so far was that suddenly my tablet, which under any circumstances didn't want to work with my Windows Vista system no matter what I tried, now runs smoothly and completely without ANY problems. And that is really a good thing, because I already considered to get rid of that thing.
Now, as for my other problems... Molly told me that pictures which are to be coloured by Photoshop must be drawn in photoshop, but... I am sure there must be a way how to colour simple pen sketches that were scanned in previously. Because I have tons of such pictures, which might be even better if ever coloured.

The thing is that I know I must probably use some thing called “Layers” in a proper way, and also learn how to use the brushes.
Well, :devchibitwich: has already helped me out with a good tutorial she showed me, but the more you people tell me about this program, the better. so, I am asking you: please tell me how to work properly with this program. And especially, how to colour these two skteches, which I picked as my trial pictures for this task.








So, how would you colour it, using photoshop?? >>














YUGIOH RANTING CORNER


Pairings, and the end of season 2
Welcome back to my YuGiOh ranting corner!
This time I will be talking about...eh...I dunno.
We watched episode 64 today, and I guess that my dream and silent hopes have come true: Kiryu must be back, at least if Carly and Misty are back, so must be he, even though we haven't seen a thing of him. Except when he was lying there on the floor in this dreamlike state. Aaaaawww, it was so cute. And somehow I cannot stop to think of my character Tagi Kito to be similar to Kiryu, because of his hair colour. O__o but that is another story.

But then, with Rex and Rudger disappearing in this light, as if they would say goodbye to life... and then with that really gay look in their as they they looked into each others eyes... WTF? Does that mean that Kiryu, Carly and everyone else just came back because of the “love” of Rex and Rudger?? O____O The ending was so Sailor Moon like, like the ending of the first season, in which all the sailor fighers came back to life after their death because Sailor Moon wished for a new beginning. And just like them, the Dark Signers all forgot about their previous experiences or at least it seems so.

Arrrgh, if Kiryu really IS back, then I can still couple him up with Aki!!!!
But... and there is a huge but... this ending of season 2 really takes away my imaginations for my newest fanfic called “The heart of darkness” in which I wanted to rewrite the fight Signer against DarkSigner, but in another way so that Kiryu and Aki get know it each other – and it had to be a story in which my DSAki form appears..
and now, with this really happy ending, as much as I like it... my brain cannot compute this, sorry. I mean.. what was the reason in the fight if everyone comes back? What about the sorrow, the tears, what about that all?? and if Misty is back, I wonder if she still is said about her brother Toby still being dead – which in fact would lead to her becoming a dark signer again and then the story repeats.

Oh yeah, I forgot : ACCORDING TO THE STORY IT WILL REPEAT ANYWAY IN 5000 YEARS, BECAUSE THE DARK SIGNERS AND SIGNERS FIGHT EACH OTHER EVERY 5000 YEARS!!!
Seriously, where is the sense here?? >____>

BUT KIRYU MUST BE BACK! *_____* BISH-BOOOOOOOOOOYYYY!!!! I demand a scene with him! *fist on table*

Okay, now that I ranted here...
well, lets see if I shall make a couple thing again.. nah, maybe later. But heck, for now I will show you this:







which shows that I can make DivAki from time to time even though I do NOT like this pairing.
And this brings me to another topic.
Stop bashing Divine or saying and coming with “YUAKI!!” on every single DivAki picture that I post! Seriously WTF is wrong? I said, I do love Kiryu x Aki much more than Divine x Aki (meaning that I am KiAki obsessed and that my hatred for DivAki is huge) and yet, I still draw Divine x Aki because sometimes I... feel like drawing them together. Actually, I guess I slowly have to admit, that I to a certain extent like DivAki, but only if they both are DarkSigners. *__*
so yeah, no shipping wars on my pictures again, please. AND no comments like “where is the EP art?” “Could you please upload more Sonic art again?” “Could you stop to post yugioh art?”
These comments are creeping the hell out of me. This is after all my account, and I post what I want to post! And if I am in the mood for YGO 5Ds/GX/whatever then I post this, and when I feel like EP again, I post that. Okay?
So comments like that will be ignored from now on.












Like this, I felt like posting this to my journal, and here you have it. I wonder though how many of you can read and understand my german comic! ^^
