Dearest DD readers it's Nigellashade bringing another update.
This page update takes place 6 months after Darius's *Recovery*…
But it's four months after the little animation we did, of that moment. ^o^
~~~~
And so Sorry for this being late, more later than I thought… But I'm not dead, I'm still alive.. ^^;;
For me not being online much is because for the past two weeks, it has been rough.
What happened was that very dear friends of the family of ours had a crisis, one of their loved ones passed away.
And my Step-father had suffered physically, and went to the hospital. My sister & I have been helping our mother, through these times.
What a way to start this month yeah?..
I hope it'll get better later on, cause i missed so much online, and I couldn't keep up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To anyone whom has supported my sister, & I with this project.. Thank you so Much!! we love you all!
You have no idea how much you all have been patient with us, we couldn't go on without all of you..
~Extra Angel hugs~

Thanks Nigellashade. We've been doing fine and it's been two weeks since the surgery. Mom gets her hard cast tomorrow, that'll make things a little easier. Thanks for thinking of us!

Also, sorry about your aunt.
yoshirider4 at 5:43PM, March 16, 2007
heh, I found the response to my comment in there. How long does that take you to type that!?

Re: YuiPweeLi, Thanks, I know my life seems to have this type of things happen for us. But I can't control what has been happening, and that's why I am not online much.. But I'm very happy people are willing to support us through times like this.. ^^ Your very thoughtful... Re: Rubygem, ~Awe~ Thanks, yeah it has been awhile.. Re: M.C.Man, Sorry to know about your situation, I hope your mother will do alright. And I know times like theses we seek strength through thought, and prayer. I Hope things will become better for the both of us.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah she would have toys like this, plus I did her room concept before and it helped put this drawing together. (I do draw places I'm going to use in the story, cause it's something to fall back on). ^___~ Re: Spoonybelle, Thank you so much Jen, ;__;... I know I over-due detail into a page... It's like the feeling of over-kill..But this is what I know, even though it's hard to complete faster.. ^^ I Love Lance, (Lance is her Border Collie), like the name Sir Lance would be another nick-name for him.. Hehe... Re: Wazaga, Hugs back to you my friend, Thanks for understanding our situation, we do appreciate it.. ^__^ I've seen mystical items, and I thought it would be fitting to add concepts to Aleeshia's bedroom, that would suit her personality. I think it's how I young girl should have Fantasy based themes in their atmospheres.. It's more fun to think that way. ^o^ Re: Dark Chamber, ~Awe!~ Thanks... I'm glad you think so.. Re: Mika yi, I know what you mean about dogs, (I'm a puppy person 100%).. I still think highly of Dusty after all these years,, even though she's passed on, we still admire how she have enriched our lives. (She was a Miniature Maltese) But I thought about Aleeshia's dog *Lance*, and what he played in this story.. ^^ I Love animals,,,a lot!.. They are so adorable, and so cute.. Hehe, yeah she drew that picture, if anyone saw it up-close she drew herself and her best friend Azrael in that picture.. He will show up in this chapter, so don't worry.. ^o^ It'll be awhile before anyone knows why she was in his dreams, but for now this is the introduction of Aleeshia, & Azrael.. And Darius will appear in this chapter as well, so I hope everyone here will continue to enjoy the updates. And yeah 6 months later...^.^ what a shock it can be.. Re: Adariel, ~Awe!~ Thanks.. I enjoyed drawing Lance in this scene.. He is waiting while Aleeshia is getting ready for the day.. you know when pets gets patient sometimes when they know an outing is close, some pets wait while some become excited. He knows by being patient a lot gets done for her to dress up and get ready. (He's smart) ^^ Re: SpennyJ, And a good morning to you as well.. :D Yeah I wanted to create a warm atmosphere, instead of having egg shell white walls...O.o I'm glad you enjoyed this update... Your very kind to visit and comment... ;___; Thank you so much.. Re: Rana, I'm sorry for your loss, but I know how you feel.. In August my Grandfather, my Grandmother, & our little Maltese Dusty passed away that very month. But I don't hate that month, but it's a reminder of whom has lived this life, and has loved us... I don't hate March..(It's my sisters and my birthday month).. but things are going to happen in times and dates we can't control.. But I do rely on support, we all do.. I hope many will pull through, even for us.. Thank you Rana for your words of kindness.. And Take care.. ^__^ Re: Tantz Aerine, Thanks for liking this pages concepts, and I'm glad you admire the expressions... But Aleeshia is a girl, not a boy.. ^^;; This story is a girl/boy story.. O.o Thank you for your prayers and thoughts..it's gives a heart warm feeling.. ;__; I'm very grateful. Your very kind to us... Thanks.. Re: Drazi500, Thank you so much Drazi, you have put a smile on my face...Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts, and helped us in times when things are tough.. ;___; Plus what you said, I guess everything I have created in this page, does reflect on what inspires me.. I hope to speak to you soon as well...Take care Drazi.. I hope things will clear up soon. Bye for now my friend... Re: Tamao, Thanks for supporting us Tamao, but I also hope it'll become better in my life.. But all I have to do is hope. I wanted to seek a better solution, but I'm scared how others might respond in my decisions.. ;____; We'll see what will happen.... Re: Brokenwinges, Awe thanks.... Re: Mashed Thank you for saying that Mashed, I also love stuffed toys as well.. It's so cute. Re: Animegal12, Thank you for your kind words, I hope it becomes better as well. Thanks again for supporting us.. ^^ Re: Comatose Angel, I Love plushies as well, Yeah I Love Lance (the dog)..I wanted to create a personality with physical characteristics of emotion, and movements. (Even though sometimes, I will put his thoughts into the story). I'm sorry about what's happening in your situation, I hope things will go well for you too. Thank you so much for your understanding and support, it's nice to know most people are willing to understand our situation. Again, you very kind... Re: Lilyrose, ~Awe~ Thank you Lilyrose, thanks for the compliments, and adding that it's a personal feeling of understanding us.. Thank you... Yeah it's been shaky for a long while, but I think this is what happens sometimes, when we don't expect it.. ~___~ Re: Kuromei, Thanks you, I also hope things will get better, even I'm nervous about what's yet to come. ;___; Thank you again for visiting us... ^^ Re: Yoshirider4, ~Awe~ your very sweet to mention that.. ^^ Re: x2 Gon, Hehe I love pets, and I would like things to clear up soon, so I can go on and pick up where i left off.. And It's okay if you miss a page, your always welcome to visit anytime.. ^__^ I hope I can come back soon... Thank you again.... Re: Artdude2002, Thanks Jay, And thank you again for coming here and support us in times like this.. ;___; Your very kind.... Re: Rina ran, Yes, she did make an appearance, basically this chapter was soposto to bring her and another supporting character in this story.. ^^ I also love and admire fantasy theme toys/ books, and statues.. Her dog is named Lance, and he has personality that will bring out more in this story.. I want to show animals can have personality's shine through as well.. ^^;; I know it's hard to believe about my real life, becoming almost impossible, but that's what happens where I am.. It is kinda sad, and it's getting on my nerves.. It really is.. ;___; Take care Rina, and see you later... ^^ Re: Athrun, ~Awe~ Thank you so much Athrun, I'm glad you liked the page.. ^^ Re: Antionestrife, Thank you for saying that Antion, and it's okay to miss a update, I only wish I was able to stay online and keep up..^^ Thank you for being brave for us, and taking the time to support us..Again Thank you.. Re: Allanah, I like Aleeshia's room, she will have the theme colors such as purple and lilac, and pinks.. O.o I want it to be a girls room, with Fantasy based themes, and soft atmospheres.. ^^ I looked up dogs, on what i wanted Lance to be, and Border Collie, was the style I wanted for Lance.. I like him he's so cute.. And thanks for keeping us in your thoughts, things are still shaky around here.. I hope my sister and i can be able to pull through. Again, Thanks for your kind words and having a positive outlook, even though things can be rough. Take care, with Love... Re: Emily The Strange, I love doggies as well, grew up with one, she was so cute.. ;__; I miss her... But I love animals, so yes animals will be in this story... I love cuddling and snuggling such creatures,, they look so cwute.. It's okay Emily, I know things are rough right now, but i hope things will settle down so I can come back from my trip. Take care... Re: Cameron11691, Hehe, yeah I think I overdue to much detail, but it take a lot of time to create a scene like this.. I'm glad people does appreciate it, after it's done.. Again Thank you for visiting us.. Re: SpennyJ, I used a WaCom Tablet for drawing most of the pages.. It helps the wrist instead of using a mouse. ^^ Re: Bowdy, Thank you for liking the atmosphere of the room, and love seeing a dog in the scene. ^__^ I know it's hard to believe I have a family crisis, but it does happens.. If only it didn't happen often, but it does.. I hope things will get better too... take care Bowdy, & hugs to you back.. ^^ Re: Twilight Faerie, About the animation, I know frames and adding more to make it smooth would be the right choice... But I already made over 60 frames and it seems not much, but I was also thinking about file size.. I didn't know how much DD was willing to allow.. I had to take precautions. Thanks for the thoughts and compliments... Many loves to you as well.. & Take care.. ^^ Re: Jenshin, Actually it is hard to update now, cause I'm expecting a lot of visiting from some family, and I'm going away with my sister for a bit.. It's because of family situations, I have to do these things... ;__; But it's true I am going through a lot of stress, after losing so much, and keeping up.. It gets hard to accomplish a lot.. Thank you for your kind words and thoughts... Your very kind to have been supportive, and to mention positive things, that's on your mind. Thank you again Jenshin... Re: Kristen Gudsnuk, Thank you for admiring the page Kristen, and I'm sorry that my personal life has taken away from my projects online.. But as for the page, I'm glad you liked the room and Dragon statue.. But this isn't Darius's room ^^;; This is the girl that he dreamt of..This is her room.. Thanks for visiting us, and being supportive towards us.. Thank you very much.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To anyone on DD, I have to make an announcement, I wasn't online cause of a family crisis.. We have also a death in the family, one of my aunts passed away.. And I came back only to be expecting family coming over, and later my sister and I will be away for awhile. We will come back home, but right now we have to prepare for what's happening. I wish I'm able to be here and update, but I don't have the time at the moment, my sister and I have a lot to do before this month is done.. Later everyone, I will be back.. But this is something my sister and I has to take care of at the moment.. Love you all, and Angel hugs... Take care... Sincerely... ~M~
Kristen Gudsnuk at 11:55PM, March 14, 2007

Jenshin at 5:06PM, March 14, 2007
This is a great page! I like all the little details. You are going through so much stress in your life, I don't know how you manage to update through it at all. I hope there will be a day when all of the people you love are healthy.
Twilight Faerie at 7:06PM, March 12, 2007
Oh I'm sure a ton of us knows how that feels! ^^'''' Not me, nooo wayyy... ^^''' Heh... ANYWAY Wondreful, love the animation you did but here's a hint: I know it might be a pain, but use more frames and less delay time. =D LOTS of LOVE- ~TF*
Bowdy at 3:15PM, March 12, 2007

Good to see you posting again. Marisa. What a beautiful page. I wish I could draw backgrounds like you. Her room looks a little like mine. Minus a giant Happy Feet Penguin stuffed animal on the bed ^^;; I really like the doggie too. Such a cute design. I'm sorry things have been tough for you lately. I am keeping you in my thoughts and I hope everything will get better soon. Best wishes, and take care :)
