Welcome
No "Hello and Welcome" this week cuz Lorelai is very, very cranky. It was a terrible week for me: I had finals, five web projects (I work as a web and graphics designer) and MOST of all, several people got on my case because I missed an update. People, this is the first time I took an unannounced week off in HALF A YEAR. So I'm not perfect, but I certainly don't expect mail telling me that I don't update enough! You'll have to forgive me of everything I say today...I don't mean to offend anyone or anything. It's just that I'm not feeling my best, nevertheless I wanted to bring you an update before I was TOO late. ^_^
From The Heart Updated 8/17/99!
Man, I apologize for that stream-of-consciousness of pure ranting I updated last time. =) I was really pissed, my blood pressure must have blown a couple of vessels. I'm sincerely sorry, I will never foist my personal anger upon you again.
As it is, Amber Michelle and I have collaborated on a letter to you, the fans of this column (and hers!) because we are trying to address and issue that pertains to us. please read the following message...from the Ladies of Interaction =) .
Inspired Lorelai!
Sorry, I've got an enormous headache and I'm not very inpsired at the moment since it's 4:00 in the morning and I wanted to get an update in before I either blow up or melt down...Now, I know I said a lot of things I'll regret in a few days, but I guess it helps to turn the safety valve on sometimes. Heaven knows some people like to send abusive e-mail just for the hell of it...maybe it's those that pushed me over the edge, I dunno ^_^;;; But you DO know I still love you all no matter what, right? =P ah, am I being coherent? No? I think I shall go to bed now.

Gifts for Lorelai!? For my birthday, veteran RPGamer artist Young Wang painted me a picture! Xenogears fans, this painting is going to look VERY familiar to you! A GREAT BIG virtual HUG to Young Wang, the sweetest Lacan/Fei/Kim I know!
There's more! Here are some other cool presents I got from RPGamer visitors overtime: A sweet midi from Jeff Chermak (for my birthday), a Winamp skin by fellow Artist D. Kartoon (He knows how much I love Billy!) and a cute Anti-Defrocking jacket, modeled by one and only Billy Lee Black, from Primera...ahh, I mean, BabyKefka! =) THANK YOU ALL!!!
Lorelai Studios: I'm trying to start an online studio art page, and I was wondering if anyone knew a place that gives out catchy URLs or ad-less server space. I'm not about to humor InterNIC by registering www.blah.com or anything and shelling out $70...can anyone help?

Aeris Gainsborough of Final Fantasy VII
" Healing Wind "
Artwork by Meriko
Comments: Ta-daa - my first attempt at fanart! This is Aeris
from Final Fantasy VII casting her first limit break, Healing Wind. I used a
nib pen and black ink for the sketch, and color pencils for the fill-in. I
was so upset when she (spoiler beeped out) I almost threw the game away...so
here she is, immortalized in art!

Alucard Tepes of CastleVania: Symphony of the Night
" In the Moonlight "
Artwork by Jen Zee
Comments: This piece is the latest work I've completed. It portrays Alucard on the roof of Dracula's castle on a windy almost-cloudless^^ night. The moon
provides lighting for the backdrop, and the flying buttresses are there just
to create a sense of 'openness'(incorrect spelling I believe ~_~), while
letting the viewer know that Adrian is most definitely not floating/flying
around^_^. Anyway, except for the outline (which is done in pen, and the
thicker line across the hem of his cape is _not_ a mistake ^_^), the whole
piece is coloured pencil.

Aya Brea and Eve of Parasite Eve
" Angel Dance "
Artwork by Young Wang
Comments: Aaah.. I love Corel Xara. It's such a nice program.. though, a lot of people I've talked to about it say it's an awful program. =;.;= I do have
to admit, it's really odd to get used to. Anyway, this whole pic is done
in Xara and it's completely made in vectors. I even made the fallen
statue in vectors. =} In retrospect, I should hav made Eve more pale..
but I didn't feel like resaving and reuploading.

Ashton of Star Ocean: The Second Story
" Untitled Portrait "
Artwork by Ryuuzaki
Comments: (Ink, watercolor, Photoshop) One of the few guys I've drawn that actually looks like a guy....sort
of...well, you can tell he's a guy, right? ....I'm getting better at guys!
This was originally a request to make him look more confident than the
copyrighted picture. I must say he DID look pretty pathetic in that...

Rei of Breath of Fire III
" Young Rei "
Artwork by Maggie Bradshaw
Comments: Yet another attempt at CGing!
this one if of Rei form Breath of Fire 3. People always do the Rei that's
in the booklet and the guides, but no one has ever taken the time to look
at the screen and do a picture of Rei when he was a silly young rascal!
This pic was hand drawn and colored with photoshop. Enjoy!

Shiva of The Final Fantasy Series
" Shiva "
Artwork by Charles Bloom
Comments: Shiva is probably my favorite summoned monster from the Final
Fantasy series. I noticed that in each game she looks different, so I
thought I would continue that tradition. I'm just learning Photoshop, but
I think this looks okay...

Katt, Rei and Tiga of Breath of Fire Series

Artwork by Petra Rödig

Meliadoul and Izlude Tingel of Final Fantasy Tactics
" Siblings "
Artwork by Jen Zee
Comments: This picture isn't old, but it's not exactly new either...The ink outline is done with a brushpen, and the colours are of course coloured pencil^^.
Anyway, this is basically a picture of the Tingel siblings under branches of
a cherry tree. I was inspired by the game, and a certain road I had driven
along recently, so I decided to create this piece. The border around the two
is in the Alphonse Mucha Nouveu style, which I happen to _love_ ^_^. And the
character's two zodiac symbols are enclosed above along with some gray stone
I added for touch^^;;;. That's about all I think^^.
