My sister introduced me to this awesome band called "Core of Soul" and ever since then, I'm pretty much addicted to their songs. I've listened to almost all of their music and I liked "The Best" album and "Natural Beauty" very much. I feel compelled to share their music with you guys and I'm sure you'll like it even if you aren't a fan of Jmusic :D

"Photosynthesis", "Angel", "Full Moon Prayer", "Ageha", "The spirit of this place", "Sweet Dreams" are few of my most favorites by CoS. You can download some from the links down =) and if you liked these, you can get the rest of the album from here. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Core of Soul - Full Moon Prayer [The Best] - 10.73 MB
Core of Soul - Angel [The Best] 8.66 MB

I'm particularly drawn to Angel's lyrics. The story it tells is so beautiful ♥

You called me "angel" & if I ever was
I flew down here a long time ago through a gap in clouds
I wanted to be ordinary to be loved by a man
But you came over and woke my memories up
And I fell in love with you

But I'm not an angel like the one you thought I would be
I flew high up in the sky but it was because of you
I'm not an angel like the one you thought I would be
I don't deserve the blue sky or a real angel like you

You said that I had wings & If I ever did
They were invisible all my life till they touched your lips
I wanted to fly again if you could take my hands
But my greed asked for both angel's wing & man's feet
So you were gone with the wind

So I'm not an angel like the one You thought I would be
Oh, how I miss to walk around in the endless sky you showed me
But I'm not an angel like the one you thought I would be
Maybe it was crucial that I envied your world

I'm not brave enough yet
Cuz I've been here too long, too long
That affection won't let me go

But you called me "angel" & if I ever was...

Too sad, CoS was disbanded in 2006 =( I wonder if the lead singer has released any new songs since then. Her voice is so beautiful ;_;

To make this post lengthy, have some quick doodles ...

I'll try to come up with my own characters someday soon so that I'll victimize them instead of other people's OCs >8D

I've always been wanting to share some of my favorite mp3s but I always either forget or get troubles with my internet connection. This morning I managed to upload some of my most most favorite songs, ones that I listen to on repeat and thought it'd be cool to share it with you people. I hope you'll like them. Actually, I'm sure you'll like them 8DDDD

GazettE - Guren [Auditory Impression] - 12.44 MB
Guren is one of the very very few songs by The GazettE that I actually enjoy listening to. The other two being Cassis and Defective Tragedy. I loved both the PV and the lyrics of this song and for once, the vocals are very addicting. Lovelovelove it to bits <333333

Ayur - Children of the Earth (Ness's original re-edit) [Beautiful Field] - 3.7 MB
I don't much about who sings this song or where is it from since it was e-mailed to me by a friend but it's super sweet and cute at the same time. I love the kids talking in the beginning and the piano melodies. Wonderful song. A must listen to if you like sweet music.

E.S.Posthumus - Nara (Theme to Cold Case) [Unearthed] - 5.55 MB
I remember I used to make sure I don't miss the OP theme of one of my favorite t.v. shows "Cold Case" because I loved the opening theme very much. I loved this song so much I'd skip watching the show if I had missed the op song lol. A year later while testing a site called seeqpod.com I stumbled upon this song and I found out that it's called Nara by the amazing E.S.Posthumus. I remember I listened to it on repeat for about 5 days when I first downloaded it lol.
In short, this is one amazing piece of music. You really can't miss it.

Ryan Farish - Pacific wind [From the Sky] - 9.97 MB
I've got no words for this song. It always makes me happy when I listen to it and lol, I probably will come out as crazy but when I listen to this music it reminds me that there is always good times after a hardship. Don't ask me why I think of this. I just feel so 8D
All of Ryan Farish's music makes me happy. He is one of my most favorite music composers <333

Scott Matthew - Psychedelic Soul [Stand Alone Complex O.S.T.2]
I accidentally found this song while reading it's lyrics in an image description by an artist in dA. I found the lyrics very moving and decided to give the song a try. I'm glad I did because despite the song being emo and all, it's still so nice to listen to.

Download these, listen to them till the end and let me know what you think XD
I hope someone out there likes some of these.

And because I haven't uploaded any artworks since my return, I'll upload some sketches for now.
A couple of them are old ones and some of you might have seen them on my site but the remaining are ones I drew while in Afghanistan.





And a work in progress screenshot ...



This was supposed to be a giftart for a friend for her original character's birthday on 07.07 but I got busy with finishing commissions I didn't get time to work on it ;3; Hopefully, I'll get to finish it tonight. Ahaha XD I wish I could make original characters of my own. I just suck at assigning stories and names to random guys I draw lol.

That's all for now 8D
p.s.: I love these clever ads. X3
