.You really don't need to ask me to be your friend o_O! In real life no one goes around asking , "Excuse me , can I be your friend please!"...it definitely sounds funny. If you're a friendly person , polite and an overall nice human being , you have a good chance of becoming friends with me
!.I have a life outside of dA! Currently I'm in college so updates aren't going to come as frequently as they would during the summer. I'll do my best to update but if it doesn't happen as often as you like , don't worry...I haven't died o_O! Besides , that's what my artblog is for :3!
.I always list all the tools and methods I use to create my art. So if you want to know how I cg , oekaki or use traditional tools , look in the deviation's description for the information you seek!
.I do not claim to be a perfect artist or a professional! I'm still learning things and I practise new techniques all the time as shown in my "Quest for Improvement" entry. So if it's anything for anyone who is learning to draw anime or anything else , you just have to practise and work at it and I'm sure you can do things amazingly well that I can't
. And if there's anything you know that I could benefit from pass it on 
.Well that's enough stuff for the should board. I hope you enjoy my art and have a nice day!

DeviantArt, stop centering my text, it's supposed to look like this =__=! And it's doing that to a few of the entries. Oh well, hopefully it'll be fixed sooner or later, don't want to have to go back and recheck my css for each one D:...so in other news, can I tell you guys how tempted I am to make an account over at mangabullet? Anyone have one there already :o? And the fact that you can customize your user page just makes it more tempting. Dangit, why do these people make things that appeal to me D:? In the mean time, answer the meme of d00m!

Since all the cool people have one, it saves time answering redundant questions and because I love making little banners, I give you...
Now let's get down to business!
Q: Do you have AIM/MSN/ICQ/Skype/[Insert instant messaging service here]? Can I add you?
A: Well I have AIM and MSN, but I don't give out the screen names that easily(having a couple people message me at 3 in the morning demanding art and my phone number have made me quite weary.) but if you're pretty friendly and we get to know each other, maybe then we can chat. And on the bright side, I'm always online...except when I'm not at the pc, can't be online without a computer and using msn and aim with a cellphone is pricey.
Q: Hey do you do art trades?
A: Would love to :3! Thing is, I cg sort of slowly ._.;; but I'm learning to work faster, so as soon as I'm done with the few projects I have to do, I'm up for a trade or two.
Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Oh God no! At least not yet, for there are many things I wish to work and improve on before I take that route.
Q: Do you take requests?
A: Working on 5 at the moment. As soon as I'm done(and the mood hits me), I might take more.
Q: Is there anywhere else you post your art besides deviantArt?
Yes I do! There's a little artblog and an up and coming website. Thats about it.
Q: Can I be your friend?
A: Can you be my friend? Are you capable of interacting with me(or anyone else) in a friendly manner? I always find it odd when people ask to be your friend, you don't go out in real life asking to be friends! Just hang around, chat a little and friendships will develop, no need to ask for permission, it sounds funny XD!
Q: What do you use to make your art?
A: I list everything that was used for each deviation posted here, but in general I use-Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS2 and CS3[colouring], Corel Painter 9.5[digital inking], Wacom Bamboo Fun(Medium), Pilot DR Drawing pens[traditional inking], 0.7/0.5 mechanical pencils and PAPER[most important tool of all!!!]
Q: How do you [Insert drawing/colouring/inking question here]?
A: I try to list every tutorial I've used to make a deviation, look there, or try google. There's tons of amazing tutorials here too...I'm still learning myself you know!
Q: How come you haven't been posting much anime art now?
A: Well, last January, I managed to slice my right hand pinky open, had to get stiches and was in excruciating pain. Despite being lefthanded, the pain was such that I couldn't see myself sitting down to draw, ink out and colour any detailed art, so I took up making vector artwork that's a lot quicker for me to do. But now that the pinky is better and I'm out of school, I'm slowly getting back into it and hope to post something anime related soon!
Q: Alright...we want the vital stats and junk!
Q: Fine! Female, Trinidadian descent, Canadian, black/chinese/east indian and named Leah. Oh and it's pronounced "Lee-ahh" not the horrible sounding, "Lay-uh" D:!
Q: How old is Leah?
A: For shame! You never ask a lady her age! Besides, my age keeps changing you see, like last year it was one number, then it changed again this year. But I can give you a hint on how to figure out my age. Simply subtract January 10th, 1985 from today's date.
Q: Zodiac sign?
A: Capricorn/rat, Leo ascendant, Virgo moon sign...yes I'm an astrology buff >_<!
Q: Are you really lefthanded?
A: Yes! I can't hide it any longer, it's a horrible secret I've been hiding from my friends and family, I just need to come clean T__T!
Q: What do you do when you're not drawing?
A: Let's see..I'm an avid gamer, computer nerd, reader(most of my hobbies involve something nerdy) and a movie and music buff.
Q: Will you marry me <3?
A:...o_O?
Any other questions, ask away! I'll post a few questions and answers in this journal.

Post AN and Sharon Stone!
Journal Entry: Tue May 27, 2008, 6:55 PM
Sharon Stone...
Wow... Like I've said before on livejournal, I have to wonder if celebrities think before they say something that will be recorded and broadcast around the world like that. And even if that is what you personally believe, something inside of your head should tell you, "Hey, this is a sensitive topic, I must just want to keep this one to my self."! I hope I'm not the only one who is at least shocked by what she said...
Anime North 2 0 0 8!
Went out on Friday and I'm surprised how absolutely P A C K E D it was this year and a lot of them cosplayed. Out of all the cosplayers, the most popular themes were:
o1. Naruto(of course)
o2. Katekyō Hitman Reborn!
o3. Final Fantasy VII(lots of Advent Children versions of Cloud and lots of Sephiroths...classic :3!)
o4. SOS Brigade/Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
o5. Lots of gothic lolita chicks...I want a dress so badly*will be the 4th black, goth lolita chick she's seen, as she saw 3 at the convention*, it was a pleasant surprise.
o6. This one hairy dude, dressed as sailormoon with a yaoi paddle....
!o7. A few Lucky Star and Ouran Host Club cosplayers.
Now the most important event of the convention for me was...
I GOT MY COPIC MARKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to walk around the dealer room 3 times before I found the vendor who sold them. And when I saw the Copic sign, I was so giddy, I'm sure I looked like an idiot, but the guy who sold them to me, shook my hand and said "You better be back or I'll be mad" and...he was kind of cute very friendly. So I willingly parted with 100 dollars and now I'm the proud owner of 12, Copic Sketch markers. And now that I know where the store is, I need to stock up on copics and prismacolor markers...expect more traditional artwork soon >:D! Did I buy anything else? Sadly no, D:! There were these adorable keychains I wanted to buy from =Kaze-Hime and I wanted to check out *shilin and =minjii's tables, also saw *ramy(or who I *think* was Ramy) there.
Anything else?
Still working on the website , trying to get it up and running so I can go back to the business of drawing, especially all the gift/request art I owe. And for the requests, I'm working on developing new colouring style(check the artblog for details). But before I move forward with the gifties, I have a little problem, I can't decide how to ink the pictures. Case in point..
That's a skech of one of the images, now I can either ink it with the pigment liner pens, which is a lot faster to do, or ink in Painter, for thick, black lines, but it takes a while to do, being the perfectionist I am.

[Painter Inked]So which looks better :D? Now how to end this off? Well...I'm hopefully getting a psp Friday :3!

Well school is over(has been for a while) so I've been working and enjoying the quiet time at home. Also, I've been working on a little project :D! Hopefully I'll have that done soon. I have to tell you guys who much I love Wordpress and Dreamweaver is my new best friend :P! Want to see more about this little project? Click here !
Anime ☆ N o r t h
I really want to go, especially to find the infamous...
COPIC MARKER GUY
or CMG as he shall be now known, for the remainder of this journal entry. For anyone who is newly watching me or just reading this, I'm sure you're asking, "who the hell is the copic marker guy?"...well...it all started in 2003, back before I knew of deviantArt, art communities or the importance of not eyeballing anatomy...So on this segment on YTV(yes I still watch the Zone, leave me alone!), I saw this guy being interviewed. He had an art supply store that sold the copics and he made the claim of being the only store in Toronto that sold them. The weekend after seeing that interview, I went with a friend and we saw him and I asked how much a package of 36 markers were and he said they were around $130...back then I had no job and a limited amount of funds. Skip to 2004, I cosplayed(as Utena of course) but only had enough money to buy two graphic novels(Utena related of course!). 2005 and 06' I didn't go, 07 I went but completely FORGOT to look for Mr. CMG. but this year...I want to find this guy...but...MY LAPTOP KEYBOARD DECIDED TO CONK OUT ON ME!!! Yeah...my enter key on the keyboard came out, and I've been told it completely needs to be replaced.
To get everything fixed, it will cost me 150 bucks. 150 that I could be using tohunt and kill find CMG and buy some markers! Now, to be fair, my mother did go and buy me 55 prismacolor markers that I really should learn how to use(especially since I have a helpful little marker tutorial thanks to =TwinEnigma)...but imagine, if I knew how to use the prismas and the copics, with my white paint, gelpens, cardstock and other goodies. With a little more anatomy work...I'd spam all y'all with traditional art...so I pretty much have no money. So what do I do? I could go tomorrow and window shop at the prints and work of *shilin and =minjii(and hope to save up for CNAnime and any other conventions or miscellaneous events...there's a limited edition, pink psp that keeps calling my name >_>!) and meet up with a few friends, or, stay home, work on my little project, draw some anime(as the gallery has been lacking it as of late) and try and find another place that sells the copics.
Hey,
any Toronto deviants know where I can find some? CMG can't be the only person who has them! Oh yeah, anyone know where I can find some cheap Prismacolor markers? I need more fleshtones, and by fleshtones, I mean, not just peachy colours, I need some browns too...*is not a peachy colour*! Ah...decisions, decisions. So how is everyone else? Who is going to AN :3?
EDIT: Apparently, installing a new keyboard only cost $22.60, so it looks like I'm going to AN after all. CMG, I'm coming for you!
DOUBLE EDIT: Now to buy some buy tickets, cause there's no way I'm driving all the way out to Dixon :P!
TRIPLE EDIT: And here's what happened!
