Thank you so much! :D
I know I'm a bit late for a new blog entry but I wanted to wait until I could break the good News and present something as a thanks. So it'll be a late celebration but that's okay for me :D I'm excited anyways.

Happy 1 year anniversary for the site!

Cole Angelheart (Donnerstag, 13 März 2014 10:13)

Yeah, but its maybe something I'll probably do every so little often. Maybe not a February thing in general, just something to do every so little often.

Great pics yeah, but still very few canon pics that I can find that stand out a big way. I have quite a few pics of her, but most of them are just here wearing some specific outfit or doing some specific pose and a white background.

I was considering going for some type of fan-art of her, like your Royal Princess version of her since I've always felt it was my favorite one in the series and it looks so, so much like how Irma looks from the comics, like a dead-on accurate look of her. The whole background and theme, it really just fit her so perfectly.

But I kinda wanted to go with more canon things since that was what I did with Will, and what I plan with Taranee and the others and I already have a pic in mind for Taranee that is one of my absolute favorite solo pics of her and really just in general. Plus, I always felt a little uncomfortable when I first did the JROCK pics, because I had never asked you. I wanted to surprise you with it, but at the same time it made me feel a bit unease for not asking you first. Kinda a similar situation here.

Yangi (Donnerstag, 13 März 2014 09:41)

Well it had to end someday :)

Still thanks a lot! Was really amazing seeing them there!
If you Google "Witch Irma Lair", you get lots of great Pictures from her without the others.

Cole Angelheart (Donnerstag, 13 März 2014 08:20)

Tis sad to say, but JROCK month is over. Really its been over for a little while, I just kept it going for a few extra days on my site.

Irma's birthday now, so she deserves a time to shine. Unfortunately I couldn't seem to find any just Irma solo pics that really stood out. So she is in group pics with the rest of W.I.T.C.H, but two were she is the bigger focus.

Cole Angelheart (Samstag, 08 März 2014 20:00)

That's a nice idea too. Will centered things could be in the center while things for the other girls could have them with their own corner. Only if there some extra space to have some group thing with them as well, but oh well, a group picture in some means is a great idea.

I actually have quite a few anniversaries this year. Your site turning a year old, my site also turning a year old nearly three months after yours [Really close to it, only a few days off] my playing of the Final Fantasy series would be 20 years, specifically Final Fantasy VI as it was the first one I played and it turns 20 years old and my learning of W.I.T.C.H and being with the series ever since for 10 years.

Quite a few there. Not even sure how to celebrate them all.

Yangi (Freitag, 07 März 2014 12:14)

Yeah I'll have to try around. Depends on the concept I want to use... Things like: Do I want the artworks to be the Major issue; Then I'd make them more or less in the middle. Or do I want to draw mayelf somewhere in the middle? (wouldn't do that again) or do I want to convey a certain message, then they'd Frame the message...
I think I'll tend to the Frame thing and maybe I'll draw myself quietly among them :D I don't know if it's going to be in Color or LineArt, but I think I would prefer Color in some way. Even if it's all in blue with only few shading or so... Then there would be maybe the downer left Corner for the grown up drawing style, like the WITCH and the Boys, and Masquerade... and... hm okay I gotta work on that XD Really don't know yet... There's so much I'd like to include but I won't have all the space. OR I'll make a huge Group Picture! Where the Cornelias and different Wills and so on stand together, their Boyfriend from CHAOS among them or their individual pupil from my JROCK or something like that! Okay I think I like that... I'll make it a Group Picture of some way... I think... I don't know!!! @_@

Cole Angelheart (Freitag, 07 März 2014 11:03)

Can't wait!
I wonder which ones would be on it though?

Yangi (Freitag, 07 März 2014 10:01)

That's an idea... I was thinking about making a total resumé Picture on the many WITCH, JROCK, CHYNK, CHAOS and other WITCH related Pictures I've been making so far. I thought I could use it to advert on DA that I'm taking commissions again but I think it would be just perfect for the celebration here :D

Cole Angelheart (Freitag, 07 März 2014 00:34)

I think you should do something big for the site. Maybe some pic big to celebrate its one year or do something similar to what you did for the introduction picture and have certain pics you've done over the past year in the background, something like that.

Yangi (Donnerstag, 06 März 2014 22:14)

OMg you're right! It doesn't feel like a year at all.. more like... three months or so. Pretty amazing OoO! Now I'm getting excited too! And if you think of how much I was able to upload and how many things have changed here and on DA as well! Really amazing... *Feeling nostalgic*

Cole Angelheart (Donnerstag, 06 März 2014 10:50)

I know its still quite a ways away, but in a little over 3 months your site will be a year old.

Its kinda hard to believe that its so close to being a full year since the site has been around and yet it still feels like it hasn't been around very long at all.

I'm rather excited for it having been here since the beginning, it will be great to say happy one year anniversary/birthday to the site.

Yangi (Montag, 21 Oktober 2013 09:16)

Wow that's a tough question. I guess most of the stuff you see here is dear to be in a certain way. I browsed through it just now and it's very hard to decide which ones are more Special than others. every picture I finished in some way is preciouse to me because it means progress and, well, because it's a finished project. Or, in case of sketches, the idea or the start of a complete new project.

I always like my Fashion sketches, since that's where a lot of ideas come from. I also like the royal Picture of Will very much. Even though the shading isn't the greatest I remember how proud I was when I had finished it. And I still am. The glittery wings and the Outfit and how everything plays well together. I really like the Character Sketch in the Sketchbook very much because it's the first Character Sheet where every head really Looks like the one from that person and because of the Story that's behind it. Which leads us to the "four world keys" Pictures. Mostly they are dear to me because they impersonate a Story of mine that I like very much. I also came to like the storybook Picture of Red Ridinghood and the witch on a frozen Meadow. I don't know why but I really like it. .... I like Sweet like honeys, because it shows the biggest progress in my time as artist, the most technique and so on, to me. And I like the new WITCH Gen because I'm proud of how they turned out to become and started to like the characters behind the Image.

Hm well that's only the tip of the iceberg, really. I could tell you about every picture why I like it in particular.

Cole Angelheart (Samstag, 19 Oktober 2013 00:25)

This is something that I've always been curious about.

Taking all of the art that you have draw, which ones are your favorite? Maybe you have a single favorite or a too three or top five or top ten or whatever. I've just always been curious because being an artist you've done tons of drawings and I'm sure that for whatever reason certain ones have stood out to you more then others and I'd like to know which ones they are and what makes them more special to you then others.

Cole Angelheart (Montag, 14 Oktober 2013 10:56)

Yeah, the Christmas option can also be opened up as well, but I'm not to focused on that one right now as I've got a couple of pretty good Christmas WITCH pics to use as back-up options, so I'm more focused on November things.

I just also thought it would have been pretty cool to use a Halloween pic you would have drawn for WITCH as the background for the site. Doesn't mean I still wouldn't use it for a whole though even if it wasn't done until sometime after this month.

Yangi (Montag, 14 Oktober 2013 10:21)

Oh? Okay, cool! Sure would like that. I had an idea yesterday but I'm not sure I'll make it in time to participate in the contest... But I'll try anyhow. I'm also planning a winter Picture but for the CHYNK generation. Technically spoken they are part of the WITCH universe, too so... but that's not set in Stone yet, either. Just had the Outfit ideas, that's what I was working on the last days.

Cole Angelheart (Samstag, 12 Oktober 2013 21:23)

Hey, just recently read your DA journal and if you do get the time do some pic or special Halloween thing for W.I.T.C.H, would love to not only have it on the site, but would like to be able to have it as the background for the site for this moth, and maybe a little after to since I have no idea what to use for November's looks, currently just considering some random pic that I like for it.

Cole Angelheart (Samstag, 14 September 2013 23:09)

Yeah it is mostly just W.I.T.C.H related things right now, and W.I.T.C.H is likely to be the main thing there, but it does limit things a little to me since its just for created things. If I started posting a lot of canon W.I.T.C.H things then its one thing, but I feel its limited with just fan created things there.

I like the option of keep it more open and allowing other things there. W.I.T.C.H can be the main focus, but it doesn't have to be the only focus. Look at the Welcome section and you can see different things I've posted in that topic.

And I really never intended it to just be my site, mostly my site yes, but there is reasons that you, NIkly and XV Dragon have your sections, for it to also be viewed as you site to a certain degree, so whatever you'd like to post in your section be it W.I.T.C.H related or not, is entirely up to you.

Yangi (Samstag, 14 September 2013 23:03)

Thanks, I was wandering about that but I didn't make it, asking about it yet. Thanks for that. I'm not sure yet, wether or not it would be good to post anything non-WITCH on that site. Isn't it filled with WITCH-related stuff only, except for that one Art section of me?

If it is, I think it would be better to keep it that way. If you want to advertise my other art stuff, then a link to this page would do the job pretty good, I think. Thanks again for letting me have that section. I'm really having a lot of fun browsling though your website, working on my JROCK stories and so on!

Cole Angelheart (Samstag, 14 September 2013 21:07)

This is really just a minor thing, but since it effects your section of my site I figured I'd let you know.

On your section there is a board titled Art and within that board was a thread titled W.I.T.C.H that I deleted. In hindsight having that thread doesn't really make any sense, since W.I.T.C.H had its own board and threads, so it seemed kinda pointless to keep it up. The Art board is still there though so you can post any non-W.I.T.C.H related art there if you want to, if not then we could just delete that board.

Darkfang (Donnerstag, 11 Juli 2013 20:20)

Yeah I figured it would be quite a bit of work to do just to mention every little thing, but at the same it could be good to let visitors know rather there is anything new or just the same things as last time they were here, so there is a good and bad point to it, I think the compromise you have there works with it though.

Yangi-mshi (Donnerstag, 11 Juli 2013 11:37)

I understand that you would like that but I would have to Report manually every single Little Thing I add. Most of the time I upload things when I have some minutes to spare here and there and I would have to remember every time to additinally fill in what I changed where. That would be a bit too much right now

But thanks for metioning it as concern. I'll definately Keep it in mind and maybe I'll come up with a solution for it later. For now I could at least update the blog entries so that you can see which pictures of what project are already up.

Darkfang (Donnerstag, 11 Juli 2013 03:30)

I wonder if maybe you've considered adding an Update section?

A section that could mention anytime you add in some new area or any time you add something extra to a section (Like a new pic in Gallery for example)

Could probably be a bit annoying doing something like that for an update on every little thing, but I thought it might at least be something to consider.

Darkfang (Dienstag, 02 Juli 2013 17:49)

I think it would be a good thing to add there.

Yangi-mshi (Dienstag, 02 Juli 2013 10:38)

Well I can't add comments to every picture but I could add a comment section at the end of each section. I think I did that for the Comics. I was thinking about adding that to the Sketchbook and Gallery, too.

Darkfang (Dienstag, 02 Juli 2013 00:17)

Yeah, I'm sure it can be hard to come up with a story for each pictures, I've just always had a liking for stories on pictures. It always adds a little something extra to me.

I also wonder if maybe some comment page could be put on the other pages, that way people can also directly comment on those pages and the art there. I don't know if you can do it with this type of site, but I have seen sites made by other people where you can click on a picture and just comment on that picture specifclly, that could also be nice if its something you could do here.

Yangi-mshi (Montag, 01 Juli 2013 09:50)

Thanks Darkfang for the entry

I'll definately take your points to heart. The trouble with the saving is due to some adjustments from this website. I'm already thinking aout a solution. One way could be to put the images per gallery into a zip. file and set those online for download. I still have to try how far that works.

About the stories: For some there arn't that much of a story, or I didn't think it would be interesting. Also I don't always have the time to directly add text to evey picture, but since you mentioned your interest, I'll make sure to fill those up b time.

Darkfang (Samstag, 29 Juni 2013 18:08)

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here. It's two different things really.

The first is, is there anyway to make it possible to save the pics? Maybe a download and save option or something like that as all I tend to get is a blank page any time I try to save something.

The second thing is maybe you could be some little story or some bit of info on the pics? Some of them have good things (like Raphael and Taranee pairing pic) some things just have something simple like commission for a friend, which quiet a few seem to have, some don't even have anything (the last pic in sketchbook under the section of character sketches is a girl with some type of wings standing on a broken pillar I think or maybe a garbage can, either way I'm really curious about her, but she is one of the few with nothing) so something like that I think would be great, it really adds to a pic when it has some type of story to it.
