Description It's been 4 years...rest in peace dear rose. ♡

I still remember the day I heard about Jasmine You's death. It was about a week after he passed away in 9th August 2009. I had been a Versailles fan about for 2 months by then, and the reason I got to know about it later was that I hadn't been home when the news was released. It hurt really deep, I had just gotten into this awesome band and then suddenly one young and talented member passed away. I cried then, and I still can't help my tears every year around 9.8. I hope he is doing well in heaven.

~

FINALLY IT'S FINISHED. IT TOOK ME A FUCKING YEAR.
Yes, a year. There is another embarrasing story about me being an inefficient and lazy artist hidden behind this piece. I started painting this around the beginning of August last year, and it looked like I could finish it for the 9th. But then..............I guess I just didn't?? I don't even know why. |D
It took me a year to get back to working on it again, I think it was this week's Monday when I finally continued painting this. But an inefficient and lazy artist as I am, it was only today I finally finished this, after 6 hours of continuous painting. XD And it's still 9th August in Japan (for about 30 minutes, lol) so I think I'm in time! Yay!

Do I even need to say that I'm quite proud of this? Well, I am.

Thank you very much ! ^ - ^
Well haha, I think it's a bit misleading to say making it took a year. It's more like, I was a bit late last year but still wanted to finish it on the right day so I waited about one year and finished it for the right day :'D I was almost late, though.

yeah, Ive understood what you mean but me personally wouldnt continue a picture that Ive begun one year ago because there would be too many things Im not confident with... >___< I think I would just begin another one ^-^

OMG, wow!! It's so nice to see someone drawing Jasmine! ^-^
He looks so amazing, dear!

I find it a little coincidental since I've been working on a portrait of Hizaki lately.

Kaeru-desu In reply to xDemonCat [2013-08-11 12:54:24 +0000 UTC]

I've actually wanted to draw him for ages, but I'm so lazy....XD Thanks dear ! <3 (good to see you on dA, by the way :3)

Oh, wow, Hizaki! He is so fun but challenging to draw! I would really like to see it once you're finished.~

I know how you feel, I've been lazy with my art too xD
And thank you, dear ^-^
I actually pop on and off here, I just don't post much .-.

He is very challenging >.<;;
And on top of me being lazy and procrastinating, it's taking way longer than it should @.@

Ah, I guess we're the same. I'm not posting much either but I'm still around tho it might seem I'm dead at times. xD

Oh, procrastinating, that devil :'D I would have way more finished drawings if such thing didn't exist...

xDemonCat In reply to Kaeru-desu [2013-08-12 18:34:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think we are the same because that's how it is for me too xD
I don't post because I'm lazy and because I have nothing that's really finished

Procrastination and laziness are both the devil to artists... XD
I think we'd all have way more finished drawings if those things didn't exist haha
