Found you, Illuminesce! You drew Skywarrior and Rising Star for me at Brony Fan Fair 2012. Outstanding work on that, and on your keychain illustrations!

Hey there. I bought almost all of your Hetalia key chain set. It was the only souvenir that I snatched from San Japan Mach 5. Thank you for being there. I hope to see you next year.

Ah, I remember you! I was out for a nip, but yes! Thank you so much for your business, and I'm planning on coming back to San Japan! Folks like you are what makes it worth it for me.

Thank you. I always like to support an artist whenever I can. I might not have bought the most expensive commission, but I was happy to get all four of the keychain set.
It would be awesome if you made some for the Allies too.
That's cool that you're coming back though. I can't wait to see what you have next year.

Totally! I'll be working on more of those, I think! Every person that's a happy customer at my booth is worth it to me, so dollar amounts don't matter.

I think my boyfriend has a crush on Yuri from Covenant. Then again, who DOESN'T have a crush on Yuri from Covenant? <3 He's so awesome.
It's a shame they're really, really not good at making female leads.
(I like your taste in games and things. )

(Thank you!)
Admittedly, I loved the character design for Covenant, but the original Shadow Hearts is still mah #1, because Yuri is INSANE in it, and I love it. XD In Covenant he kind of... goes normal or something. And I guess normal is okay, but I don't have as much love for Covenant as the other SH's.
Yes. Agreein' with this. I do like Alice, though.

selie In reply to chostett [2010-06-11 23:35:06 +0000 UTC]
I've never played the first one, but I sat and watched Jeff play through Covenant and 3... surprisingly, 3 DOES have some good stuff buried in there underneath "Shania is an offensive bitch." Sigh.
I didn't like Karin, and I heard that Alice was awful in the original game, but my only experience with Alice has been through Covenant, so I like her well enough. She's sweet, and Yuri is crazy about her, and that's good enough for me.
That does it, we need to geek out about video games together. Presumably soon. <3<3<3

chostett In reply to selie [2010-06-12 01:19:17 +0000 UTC]
YES, let's do it!! (also, I'm cool for 10pm on Wed!)
Really? I thought Alice was super-cool in SH1. XD But I ship Alice x Yuri so hard. *laughs*
Yes! Especially Frank with his random swords. Oh, and Killer and Lady are my faves x a million. But yeah, Shania being a bitch + the fact that her clothes come off every time you transform, it's kind of like, "errr".
But YES geeking out over video games! I have an XBox, Wii, and 2 PS2's (one Japanese, one American) at my place, and we should totes play lots of games 8D.

Haha, actually I made these keychains and whatnot for other people/conventions.
Even though I don't do fanart for it, I'm more into MPD Psycho!

It's about a detective that has multiple personality disorder, and he's trying to solve crimes without going insane. Sounds kind of Deathnote-y, now that I write about it!

Hi! I followed your gallery link from the Melon club forum. I'm on the prowl for P-burgh artists who are interested in meeting at a local cafe for a weekly sketch jam. I'm new to the Burgh, so I haven't set it up yet, but if there is interest my plans are to find a cafe in Oakland near the universities. Would you be interested in anything like that? Or know anyone else who would?

chostett In reply to AmyClark [2009-10-26 02:45:20 +0000 UTC]
Haha, sadly since I graduated from CMU, I've moved back to Texas, where I'm originally from! Who might you be from Melon?
Most of the artists I know either go to CMU or Melon - we have a sketch group here where I am, and I think that would be a sweet idea to start in Pittsburgh.

AmyClark In reply to chostett [2009-10-26 10:27:46 +0000 UTC]
Haha, oh no, I'm too late. Actually I'm not going to Melon. I've graduated from SCAD in Georgia and moved to the Burgh with my boyfriend, who got a job at Pitt. I'm desperately trying to reconnect with other artists and college clubs seemed the best place to start (since I know no one here and haven't yet talked anyone into hiring me). So when I searched for Melon art clubs, I found the forum and the DA gallery thread there

chostett In reply to AmyClark [2009-10-27 03:44:46 +0000 UTC]
*nod* I definitely know where you're coming from. I had to move in with my folks, and they had just moved to this part of Texas, so I new nobody. Actually, from a newcomer to a newcomer, meetup.com is a good place to start. There might be some art/drawing circles around the Burgh that you'll find there.
That said, the people at Melon would probably like it if you showed up and said hey. I'm biased, because I'm the founder and all, but hey! I can vouch for them, they're good people.

Cool gallery, I like it that you also bend glass. I've been at DA for five years and let me tell you I never came across anyone who did that as well. Not that I purposely looked for it but you know. XD Your art style's cute, keep it up!

Thank you very much! I appreciate it, it's definitely due to the fact that I have had a good teacher.
