Hello,

One year has passed since my last upload. Yes, I'm a bit ashamed but I still hope I will get back in the mood of drawing in a near future. Actually I want to do a comic project. I have the idea, the characters but it still needs some works on it and some research. But it would be nice to do a big project again. I think I need this to get back on tracks. But It will wait, tomorrow my exams of the year begin. ahah.

By the way, the extremely adorable

offered me a subscription and I'm so glad because I have to admit, I like DA better when I pay for it! ahem. But I had no money lately. anyway, I'm very happy. Thank you Dear, you are too nice to me! It just makes me want even more to draw more and better. (I'm such a superficial girl)

On another note, I'm moving to London for 6 months for an internship. It's going to be very exciting though I'm quite afraid as well. I don't know, Tokyo seemed less scary. I think I will have more time than during my two last years so I'm really hoping to be more productive and be influenced by the whole British atmosphere. I hope I will like the country but I don't really doubt about it.

And I need money because I need to buy a new tablett. ahah.

I hope that you are all well. I don't comment as much as before but If I'm still watching you, it means I still really like you. Take care!

Hello,

Long time no see, indeed ?
I have to admit that my studies take me too much time and so I don't have so much time for drawing, though I would love be able to upload one or two things.

At least I'm on holidays now, I may be able to post something, right? I hope so!

I'm back in France for more than one month now and I have to admit I'm not that delighted. It's actually quite the opposite.
I'm back on the studies, and now I'm in a MA english-japanese. I'm going to pass some exams this year to see if I can find something more specific and interesting.

I think it's time to change my journal...right?

How are you people?
For my part, I'm still in Japan, Tokyo and I still love it. I'm coming back to France, the 30th of August. I'm not really looking for it but no choices, right?

Anyway, just to say, I can't upload anything because:
1)My laptop is dying and I can't use any painting software so it means no CG.
2) I have no scanner, my camera is shit so I can't really upload any trad either. And even if I could I can't clean them and so on as I can't use my laptop.
3) I'm using a friend's computer for the internet.

Yeah, it's shit like that. huhu

BUT, I'm back in France in less than 3 weeks which mean a computer which works, my traditional tools and a brand new scanner so lot of upload...Because yeah, Japan made me want to draw again and I have quite a lot of stuff to share...or so I think.

Dijun's artblog

Here is my artblog. There is not that much things but I always do doodles more than real finished pictures so it's the best place if you want to see more.

Well, I think that's all.
To sum up: see you in three weeks o/ (I will be quite depressed, so please be nice. <3)

Still in Tokyo ...

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 11, 2011, 10:18 PM

Gallery | Blog | Contact

I didn't think I would write a journal here but it seems I made some people scared because I didn't answer in some places. I'm sorry.

Well, everybody knows about the earthquake in Japan, right? So yeah, I'm safe. No worries. I feel even bad because the quake was pretty strong in Tokyo but not that bad when you see Sendai and in the North.

Then, I also was very lucky to be at home when it happened and not in Shinjuku as I wanted to go there the same day. At first, I was thinking "oh, it's ok, not that terrible." and then it went stronger and longer and I got scared so I hide under my table waiting for it to end. After the quake, we had to go to my university (I live just at five minutes from there.) and waited for two hours, outside, in pyjama while bearing the aftershocks. We were pretty tired when we were allowed to come back home. Since then, Japanese TV is only about the earthquake and tsunami of course. And I watched it until one in the morning because I couldn't sleep. Too many aftershocks. It wasn't that strong but enough to feel nauseous. Now, gas isn't working at my place, and there is rumour of an electricity cut or another earthquake. I just hope it's only rumour. My Japanese friends asked me to stay at home though.I'm going to listen to them for once.

Some of my friends couldn't get back home, so I know someone who slept in a cinema hall, someone else in a temple thanks to all this amazing people who tried to help each others. Some walk for two, three, more hours just to come back home but finally all of my friends are safe so I'm relieved. I'm really proud of Japanese people who, even if they were panicked and scared, tried to stay calm and composed.

I'm just very sad for Fukushima, Sendai and all this place nearby.I went there one month ago in a trip and I saw how Sendai was a nice city, how their people were so nice to me so it makes me just really sad to watch the TV showing the injuries and damages there. How unfair. I don't know anyone there, I just met some people in Sendai, Hibaraki, Matsushima who were awesome to me and my friends (being friendly, giving us presents, helping us finding our way.) so even if I don't know them, I'm going to hope for everyone of them to be safe. I'm almost annoyed by this fact actually. When I went to Matsushima (in the north of Sendai), the guide staffs came to talk to us because we were tall foreigners (I'm not that tall but well, my friends are...) being able to speak Japanese and they were super welcoming, helping us to find the best thing to do, or showing us the way of the things we wanted to see. I don't know why, but right now, I just can't help worrying him for them. They were living in the bay, you know.

At first, I just wanted to say I'm safe but finally, I wrote more than I thought so anyway. Maybe you're not interested but some great people are making commissions for helping Japan going through this. I think it can be a nice opportunities if you want something from them because they are great people with great skills so it's not like your money will be useless.

[link]

[link]
[link] - If people want to donate.

Actually, I'm not that asking for people to give money and all. Because I know that we can't be giving everything we have all the time something bad happens. And I really don't like asking for money (even if it's not for me.), I can't help thinking there is something wrong. that's why I think commissions like Fresh4U and Babel-fell are doing is a nice opportunity if someone is willing to pay something. I'm just making advertisement, ok?

Then I wanted to put the link of "Japan - earthquake - how to help"...I'm not sure it's needed because I'm sure that if someone wants to help, with all the media talking about it, all the Japanese celebrities spamming on twitter right now, it's not difficult to find to who and how donating.

Well, I almost feel bad for writing this journal. I don't know why. But at the same time, I consider Japan as my second home now so maybe it's the least I can do.

EDIT: It seems we're asked to stay at home because of an explosion in Fukushima concerning a nuclear plant. If I'm correct, they don't think it's aiming towards Tokyo but toward the Pacific.

Happy New Year.

Fri Dec 31, 2010, 4:28 AM

It's almost 2011 in Japan. (well, it's 21h21 so I still have some time but yet...)At midnight, I will be at the temple with friends to celebrate the new year in a traditional way so at this moment, I'll have no time. That's why I'm uploading this journal now.

I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone.
I also wanted to do a little drawing for it but no time, so no drawing.

If I have to say what I want for this new year, it's simple; Just draw more, improve, have more and cooler idea. The kind of stuff that every "artist" wants I suppose. I don't know but I have the feeling that 2011 will be nice. I hope it'll be true.

By the way, thank you people for answering to my poll. I was happy having more than one or zero answers. To be honest, I was about changing my art blog to one on blogspot or FC2 but some little things made me stop. (The comments for example.) I may finally stay on Livejournal, or not...I don't know actually but I'm going to think a little about it and it will wait 2011 for that.

And I'm sad because my membership to DA is almost to its end. I like it though, but I'm not sure I will be able to buy a new one. (being abroad, this kind of stuff.) Anyway, we'll see.

Again, Happy New Year, my dears...

In fact, right now, I'm in Japan
which kind of explain why i'm so mute. (that and the fact I didn't take my pencils à lot lately.)

But going on the other side of the planet makes me want to draw again for some obscure reasons so I hope it will be real in some days. (I'm so busy lately.)

(I want so much to play at Persona3. XD)

Miyazaki inspiration

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 19, 2010, 9:44 AM

For April, French people who own a T.V are lucky because each week one or two Miyazaki movies are held.

First was Chihiro and as I'm a really big big fan of Chihiro, I began a fanart. Of course, it's Haku, because I'm in love with Haku since I'm a kid. He is so cute and i love his haircut. ahah. Next will be Hauru...maybe, he is cool and every girls love him even if he is not as cool as Haku. huhu.

I'm on holiday right now, but will have exams in one week so this account will stay on hiatus until may, 7th. (by the was, I attended LM.C show last week and it was awesome, I love unannounced handshake <3)

Time's flying~Little Hiatus maybe~

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 22, 2010, 11:27 PM

As you may have seen, I don't draw as much as before. It's a bit sad, isn't it? Seriously, lately I have no time. From my studies in Japanese language to all the papers I have to do for next year, I'm a bit busy.

Since a bit of time, I only draw once or twice a week that's why I upload so few pictures. I can't finish one in less than one month. ahah.

I began a drawing about one of my old Original Character. But I think I will be able to finish it and upload it not before mid-March. So until then, I think I can announce it's a little Hiatus as I'm not going to draw for the time being.

I'AM the weak girl who is buying a subscription.
But I have to be honest. I want one since a long time. I don't know if it will be useful. (maybe not) but well...I have the right to give myself some gift from time to time. Furthermore, I was thinking [Isn't it a good way to motivate you for updating this gallery?]...Yeah I like giving myself excuse for what I do. Don't blame me!

But anyway, exams, interviews and this kind of very boring stuff are finally over. So I'm really planing on drawing again and more...Actively? Like posting more than one drawing in six weeks could be interesting. (I have the feeling that I'm always posting a journal to state this kind of things. ahah.)

Features

I always wanted to do features because I love recommendation.

For the first pimping: it's cosplay time.

because this two chicks are cute, lovely and funny!

Take a look at their galleries and leave them some comments!

the problem of fanarts and some other stuff...

by *Dijun-Jr, Nov 4, 2009, 2:59:53 AM
Journals / Personal

_{lately I feel bad drawing nothing. I want to do some stuff and I want to show it but well ...I don't really know but when I'm actually drawing, I feel guilty not working instead.

Since the last time I posted something, the only pics I made was some simple fanarts. At first, I didn't want to post too many fanarts on DA(even more if it's from famous media to avoid stupid debate.) but as lately I draw only this, I was wondering what to do.

It's also, most of the time, doodles and it's sure that I do not want to post them on my deviantart. I have made few months ago an artblog for this purpose.

And then, I want to try the new paper or the new markers I bought not a long time ago but I have to admit I have not the slightest idea. ahah. I want to do something cool but don't know what...I'm on the state where I want to draw but don't know WHAT to draw, HOW to begin and so on.

I feel so unproductive, it's awful. Anyway, I will try to think about it in the next week

Some art about Liu Liu Mao or Sol would make me happy I think.}

Interesting meme

by *Dijun-Jr, Oct 20, 2009, 2:47:00 AM
Journals / Personal

_{* Why did you join this site?

At the time (nov 26 2003), I was still on the ~Mangastyl's forum with a lot of friends. And as everyone joined the site, I decided to do the same. (I was and I'm still a sheep.)

* What does your username have to do with you? Is it a combination of your favorite things, or a character of yours?

My first nickname (~shinidanie) was a mix with shinigami and my real name. I choose this because I was really in fond of a anime called Gundam Wing. It was Duo's nickname. (ahah, ridiculous) But later, I felt quite ill-at-ease to have my real name on my nickname so I changed to ~shinitaan. One year later, I realized I coudn't bear anymore to have a Japanese-sounded nickname. The shakermaker is at first a song by Oasis. I loved how it sounded so here it is.

* What is your current icon of?

A part of a picture I made because I was too lazy to think about a nice icon. It will be for when I will have a bit more time.

* How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?

Since I have this account for less than one weeks, I re-watched 165 people and 45 watched me.

* Do you have more than one account?

2 old accounts but only this one is active.

* Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA..

It's definitely something difficult.

I watched them since a long time and I'm still not bored. Sometimes, I look again at the old pictures and can't help to be as good as them. I love a lot of other artists but when I have to think about only three people, it's the first ones who come in my mind.

I just want to add him. (I can't count, I know~)

* What deviant do you admire because of their personality?

I don't have any idea.

* How many people on here do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.

: and so on....(I'm lazy)

* Do you comment, fave, or both?
Both.

* What do you typically post on deviantart?

Picture I finished. It's the reason why I don't post a lot.

* Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?

No, too lazy.

* What is your most popular deviation?

[link] It's for sure this picture.
In my previous and this account, it's the one which has the most fav and I kind of understand. Even If there is some mistakes which I can truly see now, I like this pic because it was one of the only time I didn't feel unease while doing watercolors. I'm such a newbie. I would like to paint again as soon as I have more time.

* What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?

I don't fav a lot but when I do it's because I really really like the picture so I don't want to choose my favourite among all the pic I faved.
but here is the two last pictures I faved: [link] and [link]

* What are the things you wish you could draw better?

EVERYTHING!!
But it would be nice if I was able to improve in background, perspective and atmosphere.

* Are you a subscriber?

No, I'm not but I was thinking of buying a subscription. I just wonder if it's a good things to do when we know how productive I am lately.

* How many hours a day do you spend on DA?

It depends on a lot of things but I kind of spend quite a long time on DA. I like surfing on it.

* Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?

I can't really tell but I'm often said I'm a fast typer.

* What is your favorite emoticon?

I find the icons on DA pretty annoying but I will say

* What is the most annoying thing people ask you?

I don't have a lot of questions actually and it was never annoying yet.

* What is the most annoying comment you get?

I receive mostly nice comment so I don't have any example of bad ones.
But I received once or twice some comments telling me that my character's faces were ungraceful (maybe because of the long face they have.) I'm always offended. ahah

* What inspires you?

recently, nothing. ahah.
But seriously I don't really know. Everything and Nothing can inspire. It can be a song, another picture, a book I read, a conversation and so on.

* Do you use any traditional media?

I try sometimes to use traditional media but I'm really weak at this. I use mostly watercolour, markers and colorex. But not often, it costs a bit too much.

* Do you associate people online with their icons?

Yeah, even more when I never met the person.

* Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?

No.

* Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?

No, even If sometimes I think DA is a bitch, I can't help liking the place. I found a lot of artists I love, it helps me to keep track on my friend's new work and so on. I never thought about leaving.}

_{Finally I changed my account again. I coudn't bear this wapanese nickname anymore.
But this time, I will try to stick to it.

Again, I'm going to annoy some (a lot of)people by watching them again. To this people, I'm sorry.

Concerning my deviations, I only udapted the latest ones. I hesitated to do it also for some of them like Rainy day but finally I didn't. If you want to see, you can always go back there.
