New AMV

If you have the time, please watch the new AMV I made this week with Sukitte Ii na yo. :3 Also, tell me what you think~!! ^^

Inked - Toned

My one-shot's cover progress

Hey~!
If you'd like to know what I'm doing right now, here's a picture :3
I am currently working on toning my one-shot's cover, after I finish it ~I guess it will take some time because toning on computer and using a mouse is pretty hard TwTU~ I'll immediately post it on DeviantART~
Just a short update ~~ Panda out.
P.S.: Please make abstraction of my desktop T3T.

Japanese Bentou and new drawings~

Konban wa, minna-san~ (*ﾟｰﾟ)ゞ

Panda here.

As you may know, summer holiday will soon come ~I beg for it to come sooner~ and so I'll get time to draw a lot, watch TV shows, Animes, Jhorror movies ~yes, I'm pretty much into them right now, MUST WATCH: Noroi, Marebito and Audition! They have such a powerful message and such deep psychological idea, OMFG.~ read manga and play Otome, hehe. (◎ヮ◎) ~losses composure~

 I helped with organizing a Japanese Festival at my high school, called Taiju Matsuri.

It went great and it had a lot of succes, not as much as I expected it to have. ^^ Here is a poster for my Romanian readers:

 Maybe next year it will come out even greater, I am sure looking forward to it and I'll get to help more. :3

Anyways, as the title says, after the festival finished and every single visitor went home, we held a Karaoke Party and after that we ordered some Obentou's. \(///Σ///)\

Here's how it looked like:

 <----- Here's chicken, rice and salad. The chicken was freaking  delicious~~~!!! ♪(´ε｀ )

It had some kind of sauce that kinda turned your stomach upside down, but I calmed it with the rice ~I presume Japanese people eat food with a big variety of sauces and rice, so they won't get sick, haha~. It was really delicious, but also fun. I had a great time by eating my first bentou with the Japanese sticks - hashi. The first time I held them, it took me some to get used tot them and to finally be able to actually hold them ~remembers~ TwT

The sushi was actually devoured eaten by my big brother when I got home. ~but he told me it didn't taste well so I presume it wasn't as good as the first sushi I eaten, made by me and my classmates at school :"3~

Except for that, I had a lot of fun that day.

Now I have some drawings to show you, they are made in class UU:

I think they're all made in the physics lab
（//･_･//). Yeah, I don't like physics at all, bleah. TwT

Now these are just random sketches or something, but I plan on doing 2 covers for the sixth chapter of Soul of Fire/Konka.

I already sketched them completely, one is a A4 drawing and the second is a A3 one. They share a connection, maybe I'll explain when I'll show you the finished works, or maybe you'll discover their meaning on your own :33 ~hopefully they won't be so hard to understand, I just hope I'm not that deep lol TTwTT~ Here they are:

I won't show you the whole sketch, hehe ~looks away >w>~. I'm sorry for the poor quality. As you can see, the yellow and the gray ones are from different days. My phone isn't so good at taking photos if it's not a lot ~I MEAN A LOT~ of light. :3 I usually draw at night because I have a crappy school schedule and I am at school all day, while in the morning I try to finish my homework and learn stuff.
The one with Keika looking scared ~and obviously, naked -w-~ is the first cover, the one on the A4 paper. Theoretically it's the first cover of the 6th chapter, but practically it is the end of the 5th chapter. It connects those two anyways. The one with the hand and with Konka is the one on A3 paper and it's the actual cover of chapter 6. That's like all I had to say now. I wish you a good night and sweet dreams~~ Oyachuumi <3

Little update

Heeey~~ 

Panda here.

I wanted to update you with everything that's going on around here. I don't have time for anything. Now I really mean it. Tomorrow I'm going to Otaku Fest and on Sunday I'm gonna help at school with setting up our own Japanese festival. YES! Our own festival, as I learn Japanese at my high school. I'll have 2 weekends full from now on and I'll also have tests and thesis in the coming weeks.
I'm also trying to make a new anime AMV of 'Sukitte Ii na yo'. I really liked that anime, as I've read some chapters of the manga when I was smaller, one or two years ago.
I finished the cover of the 5th chapter of my manga, and also this mermaid pic I posted above. I'll try to scan them at a friend as soon as possible and upload them on DeviantArt. Sorry for not posting anything for such a long time, but I barely get time to breathe.
As in music, I kinda entered the 'jrock world'. I was just into jpop back then, but now I can proudly say that I like jrock better if they just don't exaggerate on the visual kei part *_*
I also drew a lot of sketches, planned a lot of new stories and oneshots and so on. I did a lot of things really, if only you would know. I am sorry I can't really show them to you >.< But just so you won't think I don't do anything besides school.
Just so you know, it's kinda hard here in my high school, every single teacher expects a lot from you ~they don't actually make you feel under pressure~ and that's why I work a lot. But I'm getting really mad sometimes because I know I won't need all those things in the future...but, oh well.
So that's what I wanted to say, Panda out.
( ^ o ^ ) Have a nice evening, minna-san~

Time messes with me (ewe )""

 Hello, minna-san~~
<---My dear nee-chan drew a portrait of myself ////////// I was really embarrassed and happy at the same time when I saw it.
Anyways, here I am again. Caught between a lot of projects and theses o_o I just hope they'll go away fast ><''. I don't have time for many things, I always find myself complaining about that TTwTT"" sorry..sorry. Here is a strange drawing of Konka and Suiki from my manga 'Soul of Fire'. When I'll get the time, I hope I'll be able to ink it and then maybe also color it. Suiki's anatomy is a little off, but I sketched it in about 10 to 20 minutes in class. Konka looks good ~for me~, I like her pose. I'll hope to post many other things and updates after this week because I get a new holiday for Easter xD.

My first long oneshot

 For some while I was planning to do a long one shot ~romance, slice of life, school life, drama - shoujo of course~. Don't judge my sketchies TTwTT They're not that good and some even look retarded...pff.
Well, it'll be my first attempt from a guy's point of view. I always wanted to do something like this. It's about how love can suddenly change your life and your way of thinking. I have all the scenes well-structured, if I can say it like that, I only need to link them together and to also put the quotes I want to use in the best places of the story.

When I create manga, I start with small ideas, like for example, if I want to draw a specific scene, I have to find a story that would go well with that scene and then include it in there. Also, I combine the scenes and quotes I want to draw/use in one manga, but that means they have to go well with each other and make the story understandable and logical. Sometimes there are things that I don't like to draw in those stories I write, but I do it anyways because I don't want to 'ruin' the story or something. I can't draw only the things I want to draw, but I try to anyway.
In my every manga, you can find different subject, themes, motives, contrasts, symbolism etc. I use them so that the story would gain a deeper meaning, I don't want to write shallow stories ~like those cutesy light romance you see everywhere, they are cute, but people won't remember them; even if I want to draw something cute like that, I will still draw it in the background of a more bigger story with deep meanings~ I want to touch people hearts by doing the one thing I love the most. :]

 P.S.: THOSE ARE JUST SKETCHES. The manga won't look like that~!! TwT
I will try to make this one shot in the spring break. I'll try not to make it that long, because I usually get carried away and write like 10 pages for just one scene TwT ~yeah, that's me~ That's because when there's a scene I really like, I want to make it last longer so people would understand the true meaning of it. 
(o///3///o)U OR maybe I don't do it for the readers...I do manga for myself. So...those scenes that last longer are meant for me to understand them and to connect with the characters better. I don't know. TwT There are so many things I don't understand about myself and how I actually create manga. But I try to find out slowly and to post on this blog.
Hope I didn't bore you too much...~Panda flies away~. Za end...or maybe not. (=w=)--

Aion~~ (*＾□＾)ノ

Hello, minna-san~!! :3
Aion is definitely one of my favorite games EVER. I just love it soooo much > (´・｀) < ~tries to hug it~.
Here are some images from my game. ^^ 

 With so much homework recently, I couldn't play it. Can't wait for the spring break! Those are from my first character, I called her Lydia Silver :3 I kinda use that name all the time for one of my rpg characters TwT. I like it a lot. In the first pic ^ you can see a guy with a troll face cloak. It kinda amused me back then T3T.
In the second picture you can admire my fabulous wings (￣▽￣)ノyou can see my level 30 wings. :3 And in the third one, a player with a penguin costume. I had that too, it was a special gift or something, can't remember. TwT
I started playing with a new character because I wanted to try out a new class for close-combat. Lydia is a mage - sorcerer, so it's better for long range attacks.
My second best character is Sayuri Yui. ~please don't use those names TwT, those are my favorite 2 names I use for characters in my games~. She is a scout, now assassin. 
I love her red hair, green eyes and of course, sexy outfits ///////////.
I think I made her chest a little too big, but it fits her T3T. 

In one of those pics, no, I don't have an unicorn on my shoulder. \(TTwTT)/ It's just a fabulous shoulderguard.
Why do I like AION?
BECAUSE. Before starting to play it, I tried a lot of other different games like Aika, Flyff, Free Realms etc but nothing really appealed to me. I mean, I liked Aika, but I don't know what happened, it had a lot of bugs and I didn't have any more missions so I quit. TwT Then I found out about Aion, but back then it wasn't free to play and I just tried the trial, I didn't put a lot of soul in it as I knew it wasn't going to last （－－）. Now it is :3 I was really confused the first like..10 levels. I didn't know where to go and how to get new quests and such, and I was always on Google, searching for answers. TTTwTTT ~baka panda strikes again~ But then I got familiar with it and I truly loved it. I always dreamed about a game where you can fly, like..actually FLY Q//////Q ~~! And also, the graphics are amazing, there are a lot of things that really amaze me about the graphics. Just try to look at the sky, or in a forest, like..everywhere, there are creatures or colors that leave you speechless. And also, the classes have really great skills, I love fighting in this game. Their outfits are amazing. You can have a lot of skills, not only for combat, like tailoring, armorsmithing, weaponsmithing, handicrafting, essencetapping, cooking, alchemy and many others. The story of the game is also great :3 So I suggest you to try it. ^^ You won't be disappointed.
 

Sketcheeees~~ :3

 Those are just SOME of them because Blogger hates me when it comes to arranging pictures in a post. TTTwTTT

Soul of Fire Cover 5 part 2

Playing with effects, haha.

Soul of Fire Cover 5

          Hello, minna-san~~^^ This is Panda.
          I started inking Chapter 5's cover of 'Soul of Fire'. And also painting it. I just hope I won't mess up like I always do, even though I think I already did it...nyaaa O.O ~making cat sounds again ><""~
          Well, this chapter is actually Tekkun and Kei-chan's first date so keep your fingers crossed, haha (TTwTT).
   I'm gonna try to update the progress as often as I can. See you around~~!
 (o ω o)      

WIPs

I wanted to post some WIPs ~works in progress~ from some of my old ~not that old (TTωTT)~ drawings I made for contests on DeviantArt. ^^
When I was painting this one
<----
I totally loved the green color and the rainbow. But that only until I actually finished the drawing. That always happens to me. While I work on it, I think I really like it, but after I see the finished version, I start thinking that I could have done better. But I think all the artists out there are like that, so I'm not gonna complain anymore. UU

This drawing...omg...I loved it. I loved like...almost everything you can see on it...but just until I finished it. TwT ~'Baka Panda, stop complaining or you'll gonna annoy all your readers!!'~
It was so pink and cute and stuff. :"3 I still like the eyes and the strawberries. After I scanned it, it looked better than I expected, what can I say. But I'm still going to work hard~!! ('-'*)

Hello! :]

          This is going to be my new blog from now on and I hope I'll have the time to keep posting on it whenever I want to~!
          My name is Ioana, I am 15 years old. I am an ordinary girl at first sight :] brown eyes and brown hair. But the dreams I have are the ones who truly make me special, if I can say it like that (>/////<) I dream of becoming a manga artist/ mangaka in Japan one day, but that's only one of my dreams.
          I watch all sorts of anime, movies and tv series:
- Favorite genres of movies: horror, thriller, drama, romance.
- Tv shows I'm watching: The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl. ~trying to make time for more~
          I love reading and making manga. That's my number 1 hobby.
*Some random facts about myself:
Nicknames: Potato, Panda ~and others that you should not know about x3~
Crazes I have: I like panda bears, they're like my no#1 mascot. :] though not my favorite animal. I also like butterflies, Pokemon, Uta no Prince-sama, Alice in Wonderland, horror stories/legends, tumblr and many more.
Hope you'll enjoy my little blog~! ^^
