First of all, I would like to apologize to people who followed me, as I haven't been active for..nearly more than half a year. My university had taken my time lots and last year I had to prepare several parts of my thesis. It really made me going crazy and I didn't have time to draw. I also would like to apologize for not replying to your messages here (I actually kinda forgot I've dA, Tumblr is more fun for me nowadays). Thank you for all the birthday wishes from last year, your comments on each of my arts, for giving me badges, favorites, and also watchers! (Gosh I was surprised someone still want to watch me after my long inactivity).Sorry I can't reply to all your comments now, there were a lot and I don't know if I can reply everything, I will reply all the notes you sent me tho! For those who followed my on Tumblr too would know I would disappear for weeks, and I'm usually more active in that place. Besides that, I was kinda not in RWBY mood anymore, the new season didn't like that appealing anymore, tho I still watched it.

And as you people who know and follow me cause of RWBY, there was a news with how our beloved and wonderful creator of RWBY, Monty Oum has died. It was so sudden and shocking, he was just recently got hospitalized and then this? I thought at first it was April Fool's day, but the reality is not..

I don’t know how to start, but Monty has really inspired me, to keep going and to not give up, especially in arts. Before I met Monty and RWBY, I drew just simple things and just for the heck of it. But after that, I started to do art more seriously, trying to use drawing tablet (I didn’t have one before), trying new art applications, developing my own style, drawing new things which was impossible for me that time, even now, and just kept making things, till I’m in this state. Maybe it’s not a fast learning, I’m still bad at it after all, but step by step, slowly, I’m getting to that place I want to be. 

And in RWBY, I met a lot of people, and I’m very happy that I can say there are some precious friends I found here. I don’t want to know what happened if I didn’t meet all my friends, and Monty. 

Maybe I’m not really in RWBY fandom anymore, but Monty seriously my inspiration.  His dedication.. no one can compare to him. I’m very much grieving here, and I’m just one of his fans. I don’t know how his family and friends bear with this, but we can get through this together. 

All in all, thank you for everything Monty, for being a talented and wonderful person. For your creation of RWBY and the characters we love so much. For everything you did that help us to become a better person. Just..thank you. We will never forget you.

I have been crying a lot yesterday, this just feel so unreal, when suddenly the person you look up to died. I even can't go to Tumblr now cause everytime I saw a post with Monty, tears just fell down. I can only hope he finally rest in peace now, farewell Monty, thank you for being my best role model.

I should have been studying, but I couldn't resist watching RWBY. Now I need to say what have been in my mind from this week episode, especially the reaction of certain people...



**SPOILER**
The first half of this episode was really funny, I couldn't stop laughing actually. With Weiss excited for the festival and Ruby was weird out by Weiss' smile. Then when they met with Penny, so many priceless moments were there, like...

BUMBLEEBEE!!!




let me fangirl WHITE ROSE FOR A MOMENT
 


This is the best part XD


Then came the drama part where Blake was finally revealed as a Faunus. Then she left the dorm and hadn't coming home for whole weekend and the scene ended with Blake with the monkey faunus, Sun Wukong...


NOW, this is the part that I want to speak about the reactions from this episode especially Weiss' hater.

Okay, it can be justified as wrong and I'm only seeing one sided because I AM Weiss' fan. I love her characteristics with all the flaws she has, she seems more human, no one is perfect after all. She is proud, stuck up, a brat, etc etc.
Then this episode came where she hates White Fang and how they are Faunus' who are liars, cheaters and murderers. Her harsh manner to Faunus is clearly portrayed. While I don't like how she hates Faunus so much, but it seems she hates Faunus who works with the organization White Fang. She always said White Fang or the Faunus of White Fang, not just Faunus.
And there was Weiss' background story where her family was always targeted by the White Fang, how the people that she knew died. Her sheltered life, how she seemed alone and didn't interact with Faunus who didn't work for White Fang, because I know that her family won't allow that for they had war with each other, made her think that they are the enemy. Let's look for another example, the war between country. Naturally each sides will hate the other because of what the other sides has done to them. Thus she hates White Fang with so much passion. When people close to us tell something regarding another person, we tend to believe them, because why do they lie? Especially if this another person do as what the story told. And this White Fang is a terrorist organization after all.

And  I do understand Blake's reactions of Weiss' lashing attitude towards the Faunus. They have been discriminate, looked down, and many things. I think she joined White Fang to make the world better, but from the trailer, their way to have world peace was too dangerous and wrong. However even if she quit White Fang, she understand White Fang was still a part of her, her fellow Faunus' are there. So she defended it the action because she believed that behind their dangerous action, they only want what should have been their right.

From ep 2, Blake believed that Schnee family is the one that has done a lot of terrible things. For this, we still didn't know what the company has done, but we can't justified that Weiss is the wrong one. We don't even know if Weiss has a hand in the company, let alone knowing if the company has really done the illegal things.

So for some people, please just don't assumed that Weiss is such a bitch for discriminating Faunus, or seeing them in one sided view. You people also see her in one side, you don't try to understand her in her point of view. I know that what she has done like discriminating Faunus is wrong, but please refrain your hatefulness to yourself. I'm normally the type that  accepts people's opinion on some characters, even if their opinions are about hating the character that I like. It is their opinion after all, but maybe I'm just so fed up with their hates without them seeing the reason of the other sides' behavior as well :/

I know that some people will hate me for this rants, but it's only an opinion of mine so not sorry at all. Just ignore it.

As I uploaded my new pic, I just want to tell some useless information from me. I'm officially on hiatus for the next months ahead. Maybe 2-3 months, though this month I also stopped doing anything related any drawing at all. First of all, I got a part time job that completely use all my usual free time for doing. Even I can't open my laptop for every one week cause everytime I got home, immediately I took a bath then sleep. Next, I have to caught up on my studies for fear on getting low grades. Then two-three weeks from now I'm going to have my mid test so I got to prepare them. And for the rant, I couldn't even watched my Nana dvd concerts!! :steaming: forget it.

It's been long time since my last journal. Now, I will fill it with the next project I will draw, because I get holiday this week.

- Nanoha and Fate from MSLN in shinigami attire. This idea comes up from :depression76: when we chatted randomly. I have finished the sketch part, and maybe in the next few days it will be finished.
- Crona from Soul Eater with his new blood thorn roots madness things... yeah something like that. Still sketching and I hope it will be finished...soon...I hope... ^^;
- Another random Crona and Nanofate, some sketches here and there.

Maybe someone will give me new ideas on what you all want me to draw?
