On 10th September, my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and metastasis on other organs. She left us on 9th March, after months of fighting and enduring.

A week before my mom was diagnosed cancer, a friend of my parents died for this very same reason. When I heard about that, I thought "how lucky  am, both of my parents are here with me...", and the reason I'm writing this post is that.

If your parents (or partners, or family in general) are okay, take some seconds to think about that and enjoy the feeling. One day they might not be here, but right now they are, so love them and show them you do. When something in my body hurts, I always think "damn it, how nice it was when nothing hurt and I didn't even stop to think about it because I was used to it being that way", so if you are okay, if your family is ok, give that thought some time.

Love your parents, because if you're here now it's because they spent sleepless night as you cried as a baby, they fed you and loved you like nobody in this world is ever going to love you. Even if they scold you or they have habits that get on your nerves or whatever, they love you. I know this is not true for 100% of the cases, but I know it is for most of them.

Last but not least, if you or your family ever smokes, get tested at least once a year. Lung cancer is dangerous, among other things, because it gives you no signal it's there until it's going to kill you or it spread to other parts of your body, like it happened to my mom. By the time we discovered it, the cancer was too big to get removed, and the doctor said it was probably there growing for 5 years or more.

I know it's tedious to go to the doctor when you're feeling alright, but believe me, my mom was feeling alright too. She went running in the morning and was a sports woman in general eating healthily and all... and she stopped smoking around 13 years ago, still this happened.

Take care of yourself and your family while you can, and be happy with them.


Goodbye mom, I love you.

Revenge of the Queen chapter 3 is out now


Chapter 4 will be released within next week, most probably.

From chapter 4 on, releases will be a lot slower. The reason why I'm posting so many chapters together is because I already had them done by the time I submitted chapter 1 to DA ;;;;
Drawing each chapter takes me long though, since I have more work to do aside from this.

I hope you enjoy it if you're purchasing the chapters (^^) And remember you can download the first one for free:


Also remember this will come out printed through Lulu when I have enough material.

Because of personal reasons (stuff going on in my life, nothing related to the internet), I'm going to be away for a while. I might check DA and such every now and then, but not much, so I'm not going to reply to comments or notes, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your understanding.

See you!

Thank you very much to everyone who greeted me on my birthday

I got so many awesome presents and it was a very nice day for me in general (^^)

Among the things that made me happiest were the Companion Cube keychain and the speaking Turret from Portal 2 that my boyfriend got me (>3<) *Loves that game*

I got very awesome drawings too, so I thought I'd write this entry mainly to post them

Lovely Sakura by


Super cute colorful girl by


Adorable Madoka by


My character Valeriya by the forever awesome who spoils me with her kindness every single time


My characters being cute by


My beloved Nezumi and Shion by lovely (whom I sang the Portal 1 song with at JE. It's one of my most memorable moments of the trip *laughs* This was a triumph~)


RaikouGau eternal prettiness by


And my character Valeriya by the super talented elegant fairy of the forest (sorry, *luleiya said you were a fairy and I have to agree (=w= ) )




Thank you so much everyone!

On a different note, from October on I'm going to try selling my original manga "Revenge of the Queen" through DA's new system, so you'd be able to buy chapters from my gallery (with paypal, yay).
If you want it for Kindle (or iPad or other tablets), you can get it from Amazon though:

I'm back from Japan Expo Since last Monday, but I had no time to write anything till now.

I had a blast with and
I love them all so much I miss them already (T-T)

The girls managed to turn our booth into something pretty with stars and all


We had so many things on our tables it was a pain to set it up, but we managed somehow @w@b


It was a bit messy inside too, but we arranged it so that we could pick up stuff fast for customers.



I got to meet and for the first time, I was so excited! And they allowed me to commission them (*A*)
*Kaze-Hime signed the No.6 poster I bought from her, and *Aka-Shiro gave me a bunch of her posters which I'll treasure forever (My favourite is her Kida one from DRRR!!, because... it's Kida //// )
I also got to meet who also gave me some of her super awesome and cute posters (>w<) *Lucky* They draw the cutest girls, seriously.

I went to the booth and I was REALLY amazed by their art @A@
Check them out if you have some time, each of them are such amazing artists

I met so many awesome people at JE that I can't write them all because I've got goldfish memory and I can't remember usernames properly, but I'm so happy and it was such a great experience.
, our neighbour girls from the Last Cookie booth...
Thank you so much everyone to came to pay us a visit!

Awesome Yogi cosplayer agreed to take a photo together (>3<)


My No.6 book was sold out on the second day, it made me happy. Now I feel a bit sad because people keep asking about it, but there aren't any more copies left (x_x) I've been selling it online for half a year ;;;

These are some of the stuff I got from JE, either bought or given as gifts. I have more posters, but they didn't fit the table *laughs*


Close-up of the pics I got, from left to right, from and


Thank you so much!

I hope I can go next year again (^^)

I was tagged by and like a million people to fill this meme. It seems to be a very popular one *laughs*
I already filled it so many times in the past that I ran out of things to say about myself, but I guess I'll try to fill it one more time and that's it. I'm not an interesting person, so there's nothing interesting to say.

Rules:
1. You must post these rules.
2. Each person must post 5 things about themselves in their journal
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No tag backs
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you're tagged if you're reading this". You legitimately have to tag 11 people.

5 things about myself:
1) I never liked reading books, but my boyfriend forced me to read and now I'm glad because I found really awesome stories.
2) I'm super scared of airplanes. If I have to travel by plane, I can't sleep well for a week.
3) Mean people make me sad.
4) I can't draw backgrounds, so if I can I use 3D for stuff that's too hard for me (I wish I had the money to hire someone instead, but ;;; )
5) I buy many mangas whose art inspires me to draw, even if I don't like the story.

~akatsukifan274's questions for me:
1: who is your favorite artsist on deviantart??

I don't, though I wanted to in the past... Till I realized I didn't look good as any of the characters I like.

7:what is your favoite anime???? (you can pick more than one, im not gonna do that to you XDD)
Right now I'd say No.6, because most mangas I love had horrible anime adaptations.

8:who is your favorite vocaloid??? OwO (if you dont know what they are jut skip this question)
I don't like Vocaloids in general.

9:what are you afraid of??? DX
Airplanes, crowded places, certain bugs...

Get it at her store: [link]

If you are one of the first 30 people to order, she'll give you a free Kuroshitsuji postcard (^v^)

This is the cover of her book:


I updated my own store too. No new content, I just changed the design a bit and the header. It's now a teaser pic of my upcoming original manga:


More info about the manga I'm working on will come soon. I'm done with chapter 1, now I just need to finish chapter 2 and it'll be available online.

Oh, and I'm kinda obsessed with The Hunger Games, if you couldn't tell from my latest submissions and the featured artists below *laughs* Super awesome books.

Anipan is a new art platform that will open in the future. You can check all info and preview video here: [link]

I think it's a nice idea, let's see how it turns out

I am drawing part of one of the postcards for them.

I haven't been submitting anything to DA lately because I'm busy working on an original manga I want to autopublish. I am almost done with the first chapter (3 pages to go out of 31). Once first and second chapter are done, I will post more info (or maybe before finishing second chapter).

My new store is open~
Now you can purchase directly without sending me an e-mail, and there are a bunch of new things available.

Check it out!


WHAT'S NEW?
Pocket mirrors: Madoka Magica, No.6
Stickers: No.6, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
Badges: Madoka Magica, No.6, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Horitsuba, Loveless.

Aside from those, I'll take Autumn Tale (Kobato.) and Clash!! (DRRR!!) to Japan Expo as well. They are available in my store at the moment: [link]

Sorry for the random entry ( ' - ' )

Back in 2009 I published this manga in Spain:


It is now available to buy a digital copy. If you have any kind of tablet or just want to read it in your computer, you can get it here for 2,99 euros
[link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

Language is still Spanish. No English version available, I'm sorry (x_x) (It doesn't depend on me)

You can buy it from any country in the world, according to my editor.

Merry Christmas and happy almost new year! It's Christmas till 6th January in Spain, so I'm not late ( ' - ' )b

I want to thank everyone for bearing with me and my drawing mistakes for yet another year. If there's something about my art you like, I'm more than satisfied, but I will still try to become better.

Lately I'm posting WIPs and such to my Tumblr account, if you want to check...
[link]

I want to apologize for my lack of replies sometimes, I'm really busy (x_x)

As many of you already know, I'm attending next Japan Expo in Paris which will be in July.

I will most probably bring my old books Autumn Tale (Kobato.) and Clash!! (DRRR!!), plus two new books: one about Nabari no Ou and one about Madoka Magica.

But this post is not about the books but about the merchandise.

Do you know of any good online store where you can order badges, stickers, charms, cups, mirrors, etc.?

Please, let me know and thanks in advance!

Confirmed artists that will be at the C&M booth next Japan Expo:

The list might vary later.

I took part in an artbook called Kuro-E that is being sold now.
You can find info about the artbook and its price here: [link]

You will find on how to buy it in that link, or you can contact by sending her a note (^^)

I submitted one color illustration and one B&W sketch. Here's a preview of the color pic


The book is full of AWESOME artists! I hope you enjoy their works (and mine (=3=;;; ).



I've received some invitation to artbooks lately. I'm very sorry I cannot join anymore projects like this because I'm working on many stuff at once and I already have another illustration for another artbook to finish. I'm really sorry and thank you for your understanding!

*EDIT* Yay, finally my problem with editing old journal entries is gone, I can go back to editing them normally and copy-pasting codes

I got a cervical contracture on Monday and it's still painful, so I'm not spending much time in front of the computer. I hope to heal soon and be back to working of stuff for Japan Expo, I have no time to waste (x_x)

I already joined one Secret Santa, I can't join more due to lack of time. Thanks for your understanding.

I joined this year, even though I'm not high on any fandom and I don't have much time, but it's always fun (T3T)

Here's my wishlist: if you are my Secret Santa this year, feel free to pick up any of these

Fujimoto x Kobato in Horitsuba.
I would like a pic of them wearing the Horitsuba High School uniform, maybe in some loving pose? I'd like Kobato wearing any kind of hat you feel that suits the uniform.
Fujimoto refferences: [link] [link] [link]
Kobato refferences: [link] [link]
Uniform refferences: [link] [link]

Rikuou x Kazahaya from Gouhou Drug / Drug&Drop.
Maybe both in the male Horitsuba uniform? I specify "male" because even though Kazahaya is a guy, he usually ends up dressed as a girl, but I like him dressed as male better ;;;
Horitsuba uniform is just an idea, but if you prefer to draw them in any other clothes, that's fine too.
Refferences for both: [link] [link] [link]
Uniform refferences: [link] [link]

Yogi x Gareki from Karneval.
Something winter-themed and some loving scene? (=3=;;
Yogi is a sweet, cheerful guy and Gareki is the serious, angrily-shy type.

Gareki refferences: [link] [link]
Both: [link] [link]
