About Me

Name: Diane

A.K.A.: "Princess Di", "Diana Ross", "Nintendo Freak"....

Age: 22

Hometown/country: U.S.of A., in the western part of Washington state

Specialty: Drawing, sculpting, sewing, playing video games, making decent web sites ^_^, etc., etc.

For those who are interested, I now have a live journal! My user name is ichiban_victory! (Imagine that...)

May she never be forgotten... I was just a typical teenager a few years back, until that fateful day a friend of mine introduced me to Anime. I didn't care too much about Ranma1/2, Fushigi Yuugi, or Sailor Moon, but I was hooked on Slayers! I ended up buying the first and second series' and am now working on the third. What can I say? The blend of adventure, comedy, and the tiniest bit of romance (yes, it IS there!) keeps calling me back to the Slayers world. I even have a special bond (or should I say 'understanding'?) with Amelia's character because the aforementioned friend made me dress up as her for SakuraCon! The saying about walking a mile in someone else's shoes (to better understand them!) is true! Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to show a picture of me modeling my costume (I sewed it myself!)

Anyway, I am a young adult living in the Great Northwest! Aside from all the rain it is truly beautiful up here-plus I can go over to Seattle on special occasions and look for imported Slayers' goods (although I usually fail...) I come from a family consisting of two brothers, three sisters, and a mom and dad (true, I do belong to an organized religion, but there's nothing wrong with having a large family!) I love animals-cats especially-and have spent many hours drawing or sculpting them. The drawing to the right (yes, I did draw that, it surprises me still!) is of my cat Puff, who finally passed on in January of 2003. She was always my inspiration for drawing, and shall continue to be. Anyway, I love to play video games and am quite good at it too (it's a great way to earn respect from guys when you deflate their ego!^-^)

Silly Quizzes I've Taken..

And here were the runner's up:

2. Filia Ul Copt

3. Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune

4. Zangulus

5. Xellos

Finally a quiz that came out right! ^_^;;; Actually, you choose whatever quote sound most like you, and this is what I got! I find it very cool myself.

I'm%20a%20hardcore%20Slayers%20fan!%20What%20kind%20of%20Slayers%20fan%20are%20YOU%3F

The Hardcore Fan: You've seen (and most likely

own) all the episodes, movies, and OVAs; you'll go

to any length to get any Slayers merchandise no

matter how rare or hard to find. Chances are

you've read all the novels through at least once,

even if you don't understand Japanese.

What Kind of Slayers Fan Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Sheesh, I didn't need to take a quiz to know that, but it still was kind of fun to see what I'd get.

A Mere Sample of Things I've Drawn:

Yep, I finally got up the nerve to show a few of my own drawings taken from everything like my sketch book to my high school notebooks! For the most part everything is original, but there are a few that aren't...

Slayers Related Stuff:

Gourry and Emi -fanart for Legend of Lina. (Check it out in the Links!)

Scary Crossover Pictures:

Lina as Jessie?!? -This came about since Megumi Hayashibara voices both Lina and Musashi (Jessie).

Gourry as James?!? -This should be pretty obvious. Eric Stuart does Gourry and James, so of course this came about.

Fanfic Concept Art:

Zelgadis isn't happy -This was early (as in half a year ago!) concept art for a fanfic I'm currently writing up.

A Little Wolf -More concept art, but I drew this more recently. I spent a few minutes working on the wolf, but doodled in Lina in about 5 seconds. (The things I do during power outages..)

Ouch! -You'll have to read the fic (I'm hoping to start typing it up real soon!) to get this one. (Yet more drawings done during a power outage.)

Fanfics:

Now two to choose from!

My Sewing Creations:

I finally got smart and devoted an entire section of the site to this! To see it click here.

Other Stuff I've Drawn

My Sketch book:

I had my cockatiel pose for this one.

Concept art for my 11th grade jewerly-making class.

Yikes, even Pokémon snuck in here!

Even Amelia managed to get here (I forgot about this one!)

Luigi! -I actually drew him a few years ago sitting, but I hated how it looked so I erased his body and tried redrawing it. I still hate it, but his face came out so good! What to do...

Meowth and Mario? -I got bored at a conference, so I drew up Mario to tease my sister (she took it well), and Meowth just because I love Meowth. (Not Team Rocket's, mind you, just a Meowth in general.)

Notebooks/Scrap Paper:

Nothing like Mario and Luigi to cheer you up on slow days in German class!

I was working on ideas for our Senior mural (Class of 2000!!) Go Cougs!

Hey, I can draw (and write) with my left hand too!

Senior Soc. was real booooring...

A real cat and a meowth cat! ^_-

Yet another slow day in Senior Soc.

This came about one day while talking to a friend.
