lol for everything i have missed and wont bother to answer...unless I r a b*****d and reply....


but here i want to post a really touchy post i once did for the old guild's sake...as well as for mine... so bear with me if it gets you misty-eyed crying

Shiro Harukaze, one late evening on GASOC's old H.Q.
Shiro's Mood: somewhat assertive... yet sad... (too fuzzy to describe)
time: currently it is 12:26 AM in my local time

Well, I'm glad to be part of this awesome Guild. Not for the awesome art that is showcased every month on the Art Parties, nor for the many happenings (or mishaps, as I'd like to think) , or by the actual fact of everyone being so good in the arts... I think in my honest, unbiased opinion that what makes this Guild so good, as AD puts it, is everything in in this place. It's a safe haven for those abused artists whom have felt the harshness of reality in that, you can't really trust everyone who "commisions" you... even if it is for fake currency that can't be used anywhere else. Not only in the fact that it upholds equality in opinions as well as allowment to express and grow, This Guild has grown to be something more than a guild... it has become known as a second home to some, if not most of us in the Guild. Sure, we might have some members who rarely (if ever) come in here... but those who have sticked throughout the thread can't deny that this is more than that ... a Guild for artists..

In fact, this is just a message board with many fascinating aspects as well as many entertaining visual aspects in it... What i wonder is, if Lanzer pulled the plug on the site, where would everyone go? what would happen to everyone else who shared these experiences? I think i have found an answer for myself... and that is to remember everything that has happened here... take in the joys and pains shared throughout here... and keep them with me...

I am not an artist per se... and tonight i didn't come here as the usual "Man-Groupie" you might have come to like. I came here tonight as just... me. The one person in this thread who doesn't know what it is to be harassed by commisioners... the one person who has seen, but never felt the excitement you can only get when you say "i finally did this!", scan it, color it with pride, and expose it for everyone to see... almost as if, you'd be exposing your true nature... your true self to everyone... your thoughts, your ideals... your soul. It is this what I see... and can only come admire as a spectator with what is shown before me... and can't help but laugh. Laugh at the fact that this is what the artist is seeing.... what they could be believing at that very moment with every pencil strike... with every ink stroke, and i can't help to be envious of all of you. I am really envious, I do. I can't help myself for it... and, although it might seem somewhat ironic, I also feel the utmost admiration and aprecitation towards all of you. ALL of you! ...

these are paraphrased words I read once... of someone else's genious... not because I thought it sounded "cool" or because I just thought it was "right" ... it was because it spoke for an ideal I came to believe ... and still do:

"... There are many things I cannot do well,
But there is something I can do.
...And because of this one thing I Know I can do
I will strive endlessly to Do the one thing that I can do."


All in all, what my thoughts are, and mean is this: You guys have, in one way or another made me strive for who I am. And because of that, I have come to renew my faith in my belief once again. There will be many times I might not be phisically there, but the wish still remains...


I guess with what I'm trying to say is... you guys are more than just inspiration... you are truly the embodiment of an achievement that goes beyond words... and can only be described in your works. I guess the person who said "one image speaks louder than 1,000 words" was right... not because he was "just right", but because he had felt what I am feeling now... and in you guys lie the dreams and passion no mere thinker could ever convey into words.

and with those words, I hope... I believe that it gives you that needed "push" to go on and enjoy what you know to do best... *sigh* Heck, i might even try a shot or two at drawing now! biggrin

till next time, take care, and good night Guild! heart

- Shiro Harukaze

As much as I'd love for that to make sense, I'm afraid I'll need both because I'm stupid.
