You no longer greet me,
As I walk in the door.
You're not there to make me smile,
To make me laugh anymore.
Life seems quiet without you.
You were far more than a pet,
You were a family member, a friend.
...a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take time to heal -
For the silence to go away.
I still listen for you,
And miss you every day.
You were such a great companion,
Constant, loyal and true.
My heart will always wear,
The pawprints left by you.

Sad morning news. The little kitten I took in just after I graduated from high school, passed away today of old age. His name was Teneb and he was 16 years old. He had a great life and was always loved. Rest In Peace sweet boy. You will be forever missed. :(

Well...

It seems that my artistic muse has finally decided to show herself after years of nothing but painful silence. Perhaps it is time to put pencil to paper once more and see what can be created.

So...

I am opening myself to some requests. All I ask in return is a detailed description of your character and plenty of patience as I slowly work my rusty skills back into some semblance of worthiness. Also, be aware that my muse can be fickle and I shall work on whatever requests spark my interest the most first. The last thing I want is for this sudden spark of creativity to die out once more.

I look forward to seeing what will come of this little venture!

Rules:
1. No tagbacks. (Though I honestly don't care if you do)
2. Tag 6 people and choose one of their OCs.

Tagged by :iconverdin: who chose my Adia character Given and my Star Wars character Nate Raine. (BTW, I'm going to do this as Jedi Knight Nate. It shall be more fun that way. *Smirks*)

:bulletblue: 1. Hi! What's your name?
Given: Evelyn Moongazer. Though the Garou know me as Given, short for Unforgiven. Long story. Don't ask. *She glances over at the man beside her who is dressed in what she can only describe as either monk or mage attire*
Nate Raine: My name is Nathaniel Raine. Though you may call me, Nate.

:bulletblue:2. Your age?
Given: *Thinks it's a tad bit impolite to so directly ask a lady her age, but answers anyway* Let's just say late 20s to early 30s. *Smiles*
Nate Raine: To a jedi, age is rather irrelevant. How old do you THINK I am? *Smiles*

:bulletblue:3. Favorite color?
Given: Blue, like the roses that grow in Avalonia.
Nate Raine: I would have to say that green is my favorite, though I do have a fondness for red as well.

:bulletblue:4. Favorite food and drink?
Given: Peach pie and elven wine.
Nate Raine: Just about anything at Brett Gannons bar.

:bulletblue:5. Who's your crush?
Nate Raine: *He chokes on a sip of his water* What?! Of course I don't have a crush... Jedi aren't supposed to love... *Glances left and right. Fumbles with the glass in his hand*
Given: *Her cheeks turn a lovely shade of pink* A mage named Julian. He's been there for me through the best of times and the worst of times. I owe him so very much. I hope my heart is payment enough.

:bulletblue:6. If you have one, did you kiss yet?
Nate Raine: Well, there was this one time when I was a padawan and I kissed her hand... Wait... Forget I mentioned that! *Waves his hand in front of the questioners face*
Given: *Blushes a shade brighter* Yes. He is a wonderful kisser.

:bulletblue:7. Your hobbies?
Given: I enjoy training in the art of swordsmanship, spending time with Julian, and spending time in the outdoors.
Nate Raine: I enjoy training in the ways of defensive battle and spending time with my best friends, Verdin and Naali.

:bulletblue:8. Who are your friends?
Given: Nubian Shadowsoul, Lady Carpathia, and Julian Newman.
Nate Raine: Verdin Darkwalker and Naali Udra.

:bulletblue:9. Favorite weather?
Given: There's nothing better than a cool autumn evening breeze and the scent of camp fire and roasting marshmallows.
Nate Raine: I prefer a nice clear, sunny day.

:bulletblue:10. What season do you prefer?
Given: Autumn. I adore the fall food, the weather, the bright colored leaves, and especially the festivities.
Nate Raine: I would have to say Spring. I've always enjoyed the way the way everything comes to life that time of year.

:bulletblue:11. Your biggest fears?
Given: Being stuck with this vampiric curse for the rest of my life...
Nate Raine: Losing those I care about.

:bulletblue:12. Any persons you don't like?
Given: I do have some enemies. But I prefer not to list names.
Nate Raine: My sister. *Pauses* Don't ask.

:bulletblue:13. Do you like cute things/persons?
Given: Of course.
Nate Raine: Sure. I guess. The new padawans in their two sizes too big helmets wielding their little training lightsabers are quite cute.

:bulletblue:14. A compliment you get to hear often?
Given: How do I keep managing to survive all the things I've been through? *sighs*
Nate Raine: *Points at what Given just said*

:bulletblue:15. Weirdest persons you've ever met?
Given: I've seen a long list of weird in my lifetime...
Nate Raine: Brett Gannon...

:bulletblue:16. Now tag 6 people.

Hmm... I already tagged 3 people, but I'll tag one more guildmate:

:iconkaisuto-bloodcresent: I challenge you to do this for Derrian and Althene! <3

Rules:
1. No tagbacks.
2. Tag 6 people and choose one of their OCs.

Tagged by :iconladymuse:, who chose my Warcraft characters Faileas Stormguard and The Shadow Lord to fill it out!

:bulletblue: 1. Hi! What's your name?
Faileas: General Faileas Stormguard.
The Shadow Lord: The Shadow Lord. Dark Lord of Shadows. Whichever you'd prefer.

:bulletblue:2. Your age?
Faileas: *Notes that the speaker is human and decides not to get into the complex debate of elven lifespans* Lets just say that I've lived through a few wars with the scars to prove it.
The Shadow Lord: *Eyes the questioner suspiciously* I rather doubt you need such information for this interview. Next question.

:bulletblue:3. Favorite color?
Faileas: Black. Though red and blue would be a close second.
The Shadow Lord: Blood Red. *Gives the questioner a rather dark smirk. It was a color he wouldn't mind seeing if the person didn't hurry and get to the point*

:bulletblue:4. Favorite food and drink?
Faileas: Hmm. I'm not sure I have a favorite. If I had to name something, perhaps a nice Clefthoof Steak with a flagon of mead.
The Shadow Lord: Is this really relevant? *Eyes narrow slightly*

:bulletblue:5. Who's your crush?
Faileas: *Seems a bit taken aback by the sudden question* Well, I am married, so I would have to say my wife, Lady Melizande.
The Shadow Lord: *Eyes narrow further. Silence is the only answer.*

:bulletblue:6. If you have one, did you kiss yet?
Faileas: We do have two children...
The Shadow Lord: How old are YOU? These questions are juvenile and quite frankly, none of your concern. *Moves his hand to rest upon the hilt of his sword*

:bulletblue:7. Your hobbies?
The Shadow Lord: *Flashes the questioner a cold, deadly smile* I could demonstrate one, if you'd like... *Starts to remove his sword from its sheathe*
Faileas: *Subtlety moves, placing himself between the questioner and The Shadow Lord* Blacksmithing. Further training myself in the ways of battle.

:bulletblue:8. Who are your friends?
Faileas: I'd like to think that I have many. My best friend from childhood, Shimistra, who was always like a sister to me. Her father, Verdin, who was my mentor, my trainer and a father figure as well. My loyal right hand, Erithlokosh, a troll whom I befriended when I became a Knight of the Ebon Blade. Another Knight of the Ebon Blade named Prayce. A mage named Lorissa...and many others who are trusted and true.
The Shadow Lord: I do not see what business it is of yours to learn the names of those few that I trust.

:bulletblue:9. Favorite weather?
The Shadow Lord: Seriously...
Faileas: *Cuts him off* Clear and sunny.

:bulletblue:10. What season do you prefer?
Faileas: Autumn. I have always enjoyed the crisp air, the changing of the leaves, and the celebrations that occur during that time.
The Shadow Lord: *Stifles an annoyed growl at the idiocy of the question* I would have to concur with General Stormguard.

:bulletblue:11. Your biggest fears?
The Shadow Lord: *Chuckles softly* I AM fear. *The shadows in the room flicker as if to clarify this point*
Faileas: *Clears his throat* Losing those I care for. Letting down those I have sworn to protect.

:bulletblue:12. Any persons you don't like?
The Shadow Lord: *Glares silently at the questioner*
Faileas: My uncle. May his soul rot in the twisting nether.

:bulletblue:13. Do you like cute things/persons?
The Shadow Lord: *His eyes smolder a faint scarlet* Do I LOOK like I'm partial to cute things..?
Faileas: *Silently places himself further between the questioner and The Shadow Lord.*

:bulletblue:14. A compliment you get to hear often?
Faileas: That I am honorable and have a good heart.
The Shadow Lord: *Gets up to leave. He's had quite enough of this non-sense*

:bulletblue:15. Weirdest persons you've ever met?
Faileas: Well, there is this orc in my Keep named Klorf...
The Shadow Lord: *Sighs* A goblin named Zeake...

:bulletblue:16. Now tag 6 people.

I'll tag three of my guildmates:

:iconsaavryn: Whom I shall suggest Maij and Erithlokosh. :heart:
:iconkyttikatz: Whom I shall suggest Tryxia and Noleni. :heart:
:iconverdin: Whom I shall suggest Julian (Adia) and Dalinda Darkwalker (WoW) :heart:

"I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lone wolf there staring back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord, I guess she's doing alright.

And its a goofy thing, but I just gotta say
Hey I'm doing alright.
I think I'll make me some homemade soup
Feeling pretty good and that's the truth.
It's neither drink nor drug induced
No, I'm just doing alright.

Sometimes its lonely
Sometimes its only me and
The shadows that fill this room,
Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling,
Howling at the moon.

And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?"

-T. Tritt

*´¯`*¤.¸.¤*´¯`*

Ah. Today is a good day. Had quite a chuckle when I logged into this site this morning and figured it was about time I updated this journal to something less depressing as that was more a moment in time thing and has thankfully passed quickly. I'm in a much MUCH better mood lately and I'm very thankful for everything I have in my life, especially those little things that sometimes remind me how wonderful it is to be who I am. <3

Rambling aside, I shall be tearing down much if not all of my old hand drawn artwork. I'm striving to better my meager skills lately and will be re-posting sketches in the near future (if and when I deem them ready and worthy). In the meantime, I've been enjoying the field of digital art/renders and will be posting much more of those. A friend, that will remain anonymous per request, recently gifted me an edition of Photoshop CS5.1 and I think I've died and gone to artist heaven! This program is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I could rave about it all day long! It was a bit of a learning curve to figure out at first, but I think I'm learning the ropes quickly enough and having a ton of fun in the process. ^.^ Warcraft character sheets and other WMV related artwork should be posted in the near future. Stay tuned. ^.~
