FOUND YOU.
Haha I've been re-reading the Animorphs for like, the fifth time, even though I'm 19 now and ... I don't remember why or how but I stumbled onto this fan blog, which had some of your art, and a link to your blog, which I then investigated, and then I decided I needed to scour deviantart for you.
c:
I like your arts.

oh gosh, thank you so much! your work is just wonderful and i'm a big fan of your andalites. in fact, i think looking through your gallery a while back influenced the way that i started drawing mine. asdfghjk sorry i'm a bit of a fangirl.

awheuwiao wow it's starting to feel like all the animorphs fans know eachother in some way. I recognized some of your older andalite characters too, actually. That's so awesome haha, thanks!

And yeah, totally from the Ellimist Chronicles XD

rakuyou In reply to lackofa [2011-11-14 00:17:08 +0000 UTC]

i think it's probably because there is so little animorphs fanart on the web, so what little fanart there is is going to be passed around a lot.

and ee, i thought so! i just took a quick break from the main series to start rereading that one, it was always one of my favourites.

Hello! I don't know if you remember me -- we used to be on the NeoArt Forum together back in the day. I went by 'Sunnynyo' there. I just visited Gaia after not being there for ages, saw you on my friends list, and ended up here. Man, it's amazing to see how much people improve over time! You've always had a cool style, but now your art is just fantastic!! Good to see you're still drawing.

rakuyou In reply to OMNOM [2011-10-20 02:59:53 +0000 UTC]

hey! i definitely do remember you! i miss that forum a whole lot, and i actually just started signing into gaia again for the first time in a while, though i haven't been posting in any threads or anything - i'm a little lost as to where i should start again, hah.

thank you very much for the compliment! [: your work is looking pretty rad too. i'd love to get everyone together again and see how everyone's doing. i mean, it went inactive around the time i first joined gaia and that was in what? '03? it's been way too long, man.

OMNOM In reply to rakuyou [2011-10-20 21:23:56 +0000 UTC]

Aww I'm glad you remember me! I miss that place a lot too. I'm not coming back to Gaia, I was only there to give away some of my old stuff to a friend, but it was nice to visit.

Thank you too, and thanks for the watch back! :> oh man, getting everyone together again would be amazing. I think we could actually do it! The problem would be keeping it active and interesting for everyone. How would we go about it though? I don't think most people would bother with a forum nowadays... maybe a community or group on a site most of us frequent?

OH AND I KNOW WHY IT'S "dancer" INSTEAD OF "dancers"!!!! it's because he's saying "dancer" as a species, like "feline" or "Cromwellian" it's actually more grammatically correct that way

haha in his world it is it's based off of a disparate quote by Hunter S. Thompson, where he stated America was raising "a generation of dancers"

i just had to look up the story behind the song after our conversation XD
