# About me
I've been here a while but this whole social media thing is quite new to me. I enjoy fan-art but haven't the skill to draw the images that fill my minds eye; I have researched copyrights and fair use criteria and to the best of my knowledge, My work falls in the category of "transformative in nature" Utalizing photoshop to merge and manipulate in effort to stimulate creativity and capture the essence of the characters I most admire.These are collages, the composition is mine but I lay no claim to the base images from whence they came. It seems to me this is fair use of stock photography, series screen shots and the odd googled image when I am unable to find what I am looking for.
All base pictures have been altered significantly from their original format or combined in hopes of bringing other dimentions of the characters to light or illistrating scenes not presant in the foundation series. No copyright infringement is intended.
I do not intend to sell my work for profit or detract from the original in any way. This is purely for the enrichment of the general public more specifically the enjoyment of those who appreciate the series and characters from which my inspiration flies. I hope you enjoy what i have done.
Current Residence: Kingdom of the East
Favorite music genre: I can be inspired by anything from Medieval to Electronica it depends on my mood.
Favourite photographer: Ansel Adams
Favourite style of art: Photoshop: playing with pixels, crafting worlds within worlds
Operating System: Ask my motherboard...
MP3 player of choice: Media player, I am poor. It plays music I'm happy
Shell of choice: Whatever I find along the beach, fossils are cool, sharks teeth.
Wallpaper of choice: something subtle, classy, historical
Skin of choice: I like my own, preferably in one piece...
Favorite cartoon characters:
Gundam Wing: Trowa, Zechs, Treize.
InuYasha: Sesshomaru, Miroku, Koga. Saiunkoku:Seiran, Shuuei, Ryuuki.
Quote 1: Words are slippery abstractions, playthings of the minds; yet, without them, thought would be next to impossible.
Quote 2: How non-cryptic can one really be with a lively enthusiasm for semicolons?

I just posted my take on the bedtime story theme with Allen and Chid I hope you like it. It is just past midnight so i am off to bed myself. G'night ~wraith
š: 0 ā©: 1
I just saw it and wow I like it and I agree Allen looks cool wearing that batrob and Chid looks adorable in those pajamas why is that boy wearing green all the time I guess green is Chid faverit color and I like that teddy bear in the background on Chids bed how adorable.
also where are Allen and Chid at Fried?
also if you want to and if your not to busy you could draw Allen tucking Chid in bed and Celen is Watching from the door way and she looks happy to see her brother her little nephew bonding.

Actually i think they are in Asturia the guest room in the palace where Hitomi stayed. I think green is the 'royal' color of the duchy of fraid as well as Chid's signature color so that is why he is always wearing it. I expect his clothing has always been green I'm not sure he realized he CAN wear other colors.

Asturia in Hitomi bed room i didnlt even reconize it it looks different.
well CHid look cooler in green it makes him look more adorable and it makes look like the green lantern.

the window, walls and the table and
vase were from the Esca series the bed and bear were from somewhere else. I also flipped it left to right.
š: 0 ā©: 1
what do you mean left to right alsi in the picture is it suppose to be day or night?
š: 0 ā©: 1
the original picture had hitomi sitting up in bed the window was on the left and the table with pitcher was on the right there was also a table and a chair and the bed was very small pushed up against the far wall. I also got the feeling it was daytime. in my picture it is night I made the window bigger so it is more like a door and the light is coming in from the outer hall.

I see maybe there could have been a Picture of Allen and Chid in this one wow good trick.
also just curious why are Allen and Chid in Austra like wouldn't they be in Fried?
š: 0 ā©: 1
In Fraid Chid has too much responsibility and little to no privacy. He is Duke, he doesn't get to be a little boy he has too much responsibility. He can't just be himself and spending time openly with Allan could start an international incident. if he is in Astoria he is free...for a while at least.

so he is not in fried to stay thats a real shame and Bummer.

Chid went to Astoria as a for a few months only, Merlerna suggested taking some time out to consider his options. His advisors consider it a vacation only but merlerna insists he does have options and should decide what is best for him and for his people: (option 1) return to fraid and try to rule with the help of his advisers (option 2) return to fraid and let his advisers rule with him as figurehead. (option 3) select a regent to rule in his place while the priests see he is schooled as all other Dukes have been in the finer points of fraidien states-craft till he comes of age and takes the throne (option 3b) select a regent to rule in Fraid till he comes of age and do independent study, traveling around Gaia strengthening fraid's diplomatic ties with other kingdoms (including Austoria) and learning about culture and politics first hand so when the time comes he has experience to rule wisely. Decisions decisions

I go with option 3 that way chid wont be presserd and he can spend his whole childhood with his dad.
