Crisis Core: FFVII




Hey everybody, sorry it's been so long. ^_^ I've been insanely busy with schoolwork, club activities (huge performance that was a big time-sucker, but was lots of fun), and sorting out my summer.

Before I get into the main update, I will be offering a KIRIBAN at 30,000 PAGEVIEWS. If you catch the screenshot, you get a color sketch of your choice from me. So nab it! If no one gets this one, another will be offered at 30,303.

With that out of the way, I have a few updates for y'all.

First of all, I will not be attending AnimeNEXT 2008 this year, as I previously said I would. It's a bit too much time and money to be spending, and especially now that I have a *job* (YAY), I will be trying to cut down on the amount of time off I'll have to request. But...if someone could get me a Chrono Crusade-related shoutout from Greg Ayres, be rest assured that you will get a full, free commission of your choice from me. <3 However, I will still be going to Otakon 2008, cosplaying as Aerith Gainsborough (Crisis Core ver.) and Fai D. Flourite (Infinity Arc ver.)--definitely keep an eye out for me, I'll be walking around with a Chii and Genesis. We shouldn't be too hard to spot. xD Note me if you want to exchange cell numbers/hotel locations if you're going as well, so I can say hello to some of you!!

Second of all, JOB! I have a job for this summer, YAY! I'll be working at Staples in the Copy/Print center and basically making about two dollars more per hour than the generic store associates, because I have experience with printing (did internships at print companies/have been the tech for my college's wide-format print lab all this semester). So...I'll have more money to invest in art supplies and such. Suh-weet.

Third of all...For those who know me personally, you guys probably know that I'm Oathy of KHinsider.com--a co-site-manager along a few other people. As a result, I was asked to come as a guest on FF-XIII.net's FXN Podcast. I've now been officially asked to join as the fourth voice of the show (you can search it on iTunes, free to download), and I'm also now the co-admin of FinalFantasyXIII.net, which will be up very soon. The layout artwork was done by Colin, aka :iconhardedge-maelstrom:, and the layout itself was done by yours truly. So if you guys could check those things out, it would make me super-happy!

On the subject, Kyle, the podcast host and my good friend, bought me my latest subscription! So thank you to Kyle! Reminder--buy me a subscription and you get a free commission as well. <3

Art trades have now been, well, taken out of "suspended" status, now that I am exactly 2.5 days from being finished classes for my freshman year of college--oh, good LORD, that went fast--so if you're :iconkuroi-kiseki:, :iconcalypsosilverhawk:, or :iconnukehowlnile:, please post below with your requests--and this time I PROMISE I'll get them done. I also am in-progress on an art trade for :icondarkbloodstanedblade:.

Will be posting some more artwork soon--I've decided to stop posting 'in-progress' lists, as I usually end up doing something totally different. xD So I'll post some stuff soon-ish.

Since my last journal post, I acquired and beat CRISIS CORE: FFVII. Oh. My. God. I had sky-high expectations for it as it was, but it still managed to surpass them and THEN some. I have never sobbed so hard at any fictional ending before...it is VERY, very powerful. If you guys have not played this sucker, do yourself a huge favor and get your hands on it. Borrow a friend's PSP if you have to, it is WORTH it. FFVII is officially my new favorite FF. I...well, it was bound to happen. xD

I guess that's really it for now...I promise I'll be posting a lot more, soon, as the school year is finally wrapping up. Yay! Thanks once again for everything and all your comments and favorites!!

:heart: Lauren

Okay, here's the pics--

Chrono: [link] , [link] , [link] -- the guy in the Native American coat, obviously. xD

Rosette: [link] , [link] , [link] -- the girl in the nun outfit. That's actually Chrono with her, but in his demonic form-- I like the pics of him that I pasted above better. But you can do whatever you want!

They're my OTP, so something romantic would be great. ^_^ THANKS!
~darkbloodstanedblade:icondarkbloodstanedblade: Apr 18, 2008, 8:28:30 AM
Thanks <3 As soon as I get the links for Chrono and Rosette I'll do them. ^^
