It's been two whole years since we've last met, and I can't wait to part-ay >DDDD
Zails Abigail's ready and raring to go, and we're gonna ride the wind,
Soaring higher than ever, fighting the moonlight,
And show 'em what an Eternal Londoner's truly made of.


COMICS FIESTA! WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!

IT'S GONNA BE AWWWWWEESOOOMMEE!!!


THE TIME IS NOW! LET'S ROCK CF!!!~~~


This is Zails Abigails / Skian Winterfyre,
Member of [Rosafyrwing],
It's a pleasure to be your acquaintance,
and let's have the best CF ever this year

With love,
L / S.W.

Specially for Comics Fiesta, and for the ease of finding me via my call-name,

I have established a new dA account >>>

Fellow artists, Malaysians, comrades, and my fellow watchers, please add this to your devwatch for I'll be submitting all future/new works (illustrations) into that account.
Thanks for adding!

And no, I have not abandoned this account (it remains my main), but for that account, I'll be posting works done during my Illustration Major years, starting from 2010 onwards. All interior works/fan-arts/old works will remain here in the old account, until I finally decide what I'm gonna do with it - BUT I will always use this account to check updates of the people I've watched all this years, post comments, update what's happening on the other side, etc.

So yes, the new account technically marks my new entry as a fellow illustrator / visual artist

Under the name ~skian-winterfyre, expect illustrations, more new character designs, some tablet-works (once we had that class), and all in all, new things ranging from graphics to fine art to yes, fan-art too.

Currently I'm in the drafting process for my first-ever debut doujin, [Fairytale], centered around my original characters (OCs). It will not be released in time for this year's CF, so I'm aiming to release it by next year's CF. Standing at 25 pages so far, they will be accompanied by other works (planned it to be prints), and coloured pages may possible be included.


All in all, this is Skian Winterfyre, member of the mysterious [Rosafyrwing] group, which I will divulge more once we have officially made the announcement at CF. That's all I'm saying for now, the rest will remain under wraps


Better yet, if you are around in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, do drop by our booth on

Dec 19 and 20 2009 @ Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre

You can't miss us - or rather, me.
An impeccably-dressed Victorian Goth is hard to miss in the crowd, as experience tells me


**UPDATE**
I have been informed about [Rosafyrwing]'s booth location.
- and it's nice to know we're 2 rows behind


I would love to know where everyone else's booth too - so if you're reading this and you're taking part in CF, drop a line here, and we can meet up on that day!~

As it is, I'll be looking out for my "twin", and also for fellow EGA/EGL cosplayers that day (I am pretty sure they'll be a few walking around) for sharing session And group shots!!!
(after all, there's always anime/game cosplayers going as a group - it wouldn't hurt to start an EGA/EGL one!!)

Annnnnd...It's officially 3 more days to CF.

Are ya ready?
-L / S.W

But it's a homecoming of a different sort.

Since I'm coming home to the UK!!! ^_____________^

Ohhhhh the times I've been homesick for the English land!!

I can feel London calling already XD XD XD


I'm coming home for my graduation ceremony @ November 19,
To be held at the Cathedral of St Albans ^______^
Hence,
I'll be staying at St Albans from November 17 till November 21,
Then I'll hop over to Stuttgart/Nuremberg @ Germany for the weekend,
And later head on to Michelau, Germany until November 25,
Which by then I'll take the plane from Frankfurt
To go (back) to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


Goth Paradise @ Camden Town's calling,
Tower Bridge is calling,
The length of Southbank is calling,
Westfield,
Bond Street,
Knightsbridge,
Trocadero! Picadilly!
I can't wait to return~~

True as they say,
Go where we may,
Rest where we will,
Eternal London haunts us still!

Lady London,
Mother England,
Your exiled magician
Is returning to the nation.

Give me your hand
If we be more than friends,
And take me with you,
Through history and memories too.

So until then,
Auf wiedersehn,
Sweet dreams, sleep well,
And I'll be back before the Bells. XD

P.S. I blame the rhyming madness to the midnight hour here XD;

As title says so.

It's half past five in the morning now, and today's the day I leave Hatfield for good.

Will be gone to Aunt's place @ Colchester, Essex for 1 week, before coming back to Malaysia - I'll be leaving Heathrow on the 28th by noon (well, the night flights for that date were fully booked ;_; ) and be home on Malaysian soil on the 29 July 2009, touching down at KLIA at 7:25am.

And because Aunt is Scrooge's sister, I will be Internet-less for a week - unless I managed to sneak off to the nearest Starbucks in town to go Wi-Fi for as long as I could. It's either that, or it's to use the library's service - though it's only free for the first 2 hours.



Yesterday Monday - I've said my goodbyes to 2 of my closest mates in the UK.

I never knew [goodbye] is the hardest word to say.

Coz even though I'll be back in Malaysia, I am not sure when I'll be coming back to the UK - my second home. Rather, it feels more home here than back home.

I had an inkling that when I returned to Malaysia, I'll get homesick of the UK - instead of the other way round.

I'll miss the tranquility of St Albans - the last drink at Mokoko Bar with dear Katya is the last memory I had of the quaint little town. I dearly love its cathedral, and even more its grounds and the Verulamium Gardens.

I'll NOT miss Hatfield that much - dead town it was - but I'll miss Rainbow @ the Chinese restaurant. Thanks for all the lovely meals.

I'll miss all my London haunts.

I'll miss Westminster, Leicester Square, and that damnable Kensington, even.

I'll miss the whole of London Southbank that has been my home for the past 10 months wherever I hit London.

I'll miss the bridges. Most of all, the iconic Tower Bridge - pride of the English, though her own people never saw and understood her beauty and history.




I'll miss London. Terribly.

And when I leave the UK, I'll miss England. Even more.





Ah well.

If Fate is kind, there'll be a chance I'll return someday.

But I will DEFINITELY find a way to come back.

It's home. After all.





I do know one thing that

when I return to my family

Things will never be the same again.



Thanks for the memories, London, England.
Take care.



Till we meet again,
-L

Relax - I'm not moving from DA, but I am moving in real life.

Today's my last day at my current accommodation at DeHavilland (DeHav for short).

And because they can't get my room ready at the other campus, they're letting me stay here for one more night before they officially kick me out of DeHav for good.



As of now while typing this, I'm probably the last sole surviving resident of Aldenham Hall.
Everyone else's gone by 10am this morning.
Most were gone by the beginning of this week already.


And for some strange reason, I ain't scared living alone in this empty building.

Oh well. I'll think of it as some survival horror RPG I'm stuck in (haha Resident Evil-style!), I'm alone in a bleedin' empty building, with a trashed kitchen, not much food left, not many weapons either, and.........several zombies @ people leftover e.g. guards walking around.

And this, is my last entry for the time being.

Adieu, Net and adieu, DeHav,
-L
