Haha well...I'm quite some days late with thanking you myself ( whoops... ) so I guess I win! Thank you!
Things are still going well! \^-^/ We're enjoying the Swedish 'summer' together, haha.Β

Our Scandi weather can be quite a thing~

Im just glad to hear things are going great for you both ^w^

Yeah so I have noticed! For once it's sunnier and warmer in The Netherlands and that says something, lol! But hey, I'm sure it will also come to us in the end C : How are you doing yourself? ^-^Β

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2015-07-26 01:02:49 +0000 UTC]
It'll come by at some point!
As for how im doing, eh setting usual problems with family bickering aside, im doing great.
Just starting to get tedious with finding a job aha, as well as deciding on wether I'll apply for an artschool, actually get into the graphic design line or just do a basic highschool/college education for a start.

Santje-Chan In reply to Vanaglorious [2015-08-12 14:09:11 +0000 UTC]
That is true, seems it will be picking up later this week, hooray!Β
Sorry for the late reply; I just got back yesterday from a trip to England. Our flight back got delayed by 4 days as well haha...at least we had an excuse to visit London in the meantime : )
Glad to hear you are doing good! Even when being so busy making important decisions and with looking for a job, I can imagine all that being quite tedious indeed. I remember when I had to make the same choice... I would say it is always worth it to at least apply? Judging by your creativity and your passion for art I would surely try! If they won't let you in the first time you could always try again the next year, at least thats how the art schools in the Netherlands work. That's how my sister got in after a year of more practicing and growth : ) But a 'basic' education is just as fine aslong as you'll be happy! This turned into quite some babbling...haha.Β

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2015-08-22 15:00:27 +0000 UTC]
It has indeed been picking up with more summerly warm weather aha!
How was your trip to the UK? Personally only been to London back in 2011/12 as a school trip.
Art schools are different, but sametime similar. Here they mostly look on what you can do already and if you're so and so worth taking in and learning up!
Alternatively there's the paid courses, hhhh while they look pretty cool the prices oh man. I guess I'll just keep working on my portfolio before applying ahaha
Otherwise I guess basic education is as you said better than nothing~

And by the time I get to reply it is already autumn...crazy! I'm sorry, after I got back I had some busy weeks...pfft!Β
My trip was a lot of fun! I sailed with my boyfriends family on a so called 'narrow boat' in the canals, and in London we visited the aquarium and
all the local highlights ^^ I've been in London before as well with school; but then we spend most time in museums and such, so it was fun to do some different
things this time!Β
Ahh I see, interesting to hear about how your art schools work. I bet those course prices are quite a punch in the wallet indeed : / It's always a good idea to build up your
portfolio a bit more before taking the step! Have you been able to make a choice? My sister is back to school again so I figured it must have started over there too, but maybe not.Β

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2015-10-21 20:27:38 +0000 UTC]
Lets just agree we're both awful at replying aha!
Ohh, always nice meeting the other half's family.
Good to hear you had a great time though! And it certainly sounds way different compared to school trips and all their museums.
Art schools here as just... I don't even know, they're kinda wierd with admission and all that, but I guess that's just how its always been.
I decided to try and get into the classes starting january, but I am still to schedule a meeting with them due to irl having been busy as heck and my spare time being fuelled into the OCT I participated in, thankfully that is over!
Main concern however is, if/when I get into the school if I can grab the art classes haha.

Ohh I see! Yeah we talked about it like two days ago as he was curious what I was working on during the days ^_^ So I linked him my gallery.
I'm happy I found yours again too! I'm sure I will enjoy your art as well, you make great characters! : D And of course, your WoW art is really fun to see Β

And its good to see we found eachothers galleries ^^

Santje-Chan In reply to Vanaglorious [2013-11-15 01:00:49 +0000 UTC]
Haha aww, that sounds pretty logical as I don't think I ever found a proper opportunity to mention it in guild chatβ¦whoops!
And I'm sure you'll get to draw more of that again in the future : D Maybe when I have a bit more free time again it could perhaps be fun to do an art trade for funs!Β : )Β

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2013-11-15 18:43:32 +0000 UTC]
Hehe yeah, can understand seeing how mixed and odd the guild chat could be (gawsh, now I miss it being back on moonglade ;A!
I actually have a few ideas I just.. need to get them sketched down xD
Ohh Art trades are fun *v* Id be up for one at some point~

Santje-Chan In reply to Vanaglorious [2013-11-17 22:00:11 +0000 UTC]
Haha no kiddingβ¦but it was at least interesting and lively! 8D Maybe you can come by more often when the servers get merged : )Β
I'm curious how that will turn out for little Moonglade. And good, get them down on paper sometime! Β
And they sure are, it's been a while I did any so I thought it could be fun to pick that up again : DΒ

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2013-11-18 18:57:58 +0000 UTC]
It could go from normal everyday talk to madness in less than 5secs xD
I will definetly come by on Glade more often when merges happend, jus' to see how things work out. I will! when I have time or just when I am sure its gonna be good~
Ive only done one cracky art tarde which was super fun, and then the switch around meme. All was super fun and i'd deffo do more

Santje-Chan In reply to Vanaglorious [2013-11-29 15:29:08 +0000 UTC]
Oh, it definately could before you could even blink your eyesβ¦haha |D
You should! : ) How is it going on your new server though, do you like it there as well? I've only moved servers once, From Lightnings Blade that was terribly empty to Moonglade!Β
And cracky / random / funny art trades are the best : D I've never really done a meme thing around here, it seems I've managed to escape all the tagging, lol!

Vanaglorious In reply to Santje-Chan [2013-11-30 00:09:34 +0000 UTC]
I miss those times |D
Well, guild didnt take off due to lack of information from officers, so im just derping around looking for one that raids at times I can |D Can only say I really really miss glade, so occasionally dropping by on my Monk!
Lucky, I get tagged every now and then xD Not to say all the time xD

hee
ik ga van deviant art af, en had nog wat points. aangezien ik daar niks aan heb als ik weg ben geef ik ze aan jou, ik weet niet of jij er wat mee doet, maar je kan er zelf mee gaan beslissen wat je er mee doet
ik zou het leuk vinden om je op iets als fb te hebben
www.facebook.com/lisa.baijs als je me wilt toevoegen
xxx super tof om je hier te leren kennen en hopelijk spreken we elkaar nog eens!
het beste met al je werk en prachtige illustraties!

Ohh wat jammer! Ga je op Facebook verder? Ik zal je een verzoek sturen daar : D Ik herken je naam nu van mijn FB illustratie pagina, maar ik kon hem (nog) niet koppelen aan jou, haha.Β
Dankjewel voor de points, lief! : ) Ik heb nog nooit points gehad dus ik zal eens even kijken wat er allemaal mogelijk is, haha.Β
Hopelijk spreken we elkaar weer op FB
Liefs!Β

Danku zeer voor de watch terug! : D Ik ken jouw werk nog van het Aniway forum, maar ik kom daar nog maar heel weinig dus daarom was ik blij dat je ook een DA account had! : ) Leuk om te zien wat je nu allemaal maakt nu je op de kunstacademie zit : D Voelt voor mij ook heel herkenbaar

Oeh leuk om te horen zo! Hahah je zal waarschijnlijk veel meer zien. Ik post ook veel akademie werk op een speciale tumblr, lindaillustratie.tumblr.com.
Jij bent nu wel afgestudeerd als ik het goed zag op je site eventjes?

Ooh Tumblr is leuk ja, ik zal die ook in de gaten houden! : ) Misschien moet er ook maar eens een gaan aanmaken. En ja klopt, eigenlijk ben ik bijna afgestudeerd, op mijn beeldende werk ben ik geslaagd maar ik moet mijn scriptie nog afronden maar die zit in het eindproces! Dus als het goed is ben ik binnenkort officieel klaar : D

Tumblr is veelte leuk, heb er echt een stuk of 4 blogs hahaha. Mijn persoonlijke is appeltjesgroen.tumblr, inspiratie citroentjesgeel.tumblr en dan eentje voor mij site koppeling, appeltjegroen.nl Moet eigenlijk maar eens een echte site site fixen, ben alleen een leek er in.
Oeh spannend! Waar heb je je scriptie over geschreven?

Santje-Chan In reply to Appeltjesgroen [2012-10-24 14:30:16 +0000 UTC]
Haha wow! Mooie collectie : D Maar dat is beter denk ik dan alles door elkaar gooien. En ja, een echte site bouwen is moeilijk, maar er zijn gelukkig veel blog-achtige alternatieven : ) De mijne is ook nog niet perfect, ik heb hem zelf gemaakt in het programma Muse, maar daar moet je nu voor betalen, zucht. En ik heb mijn scriptie geschreven over de invloed van digitalisering op het illustreren en de kunsten in het algemeen; omdat ik zelf heel traditioneel werk ben ik gaan onderzoeken wat voor rol de computer is gaan spelen, en of ambacht nog wel zal blijven bestaan en belangrijk is : ) Ik mag hem nu gaan vormgeven ^^

Tof tof! Ik ben benieuwd hoe het nu gaat. Ik heb een tijdje niks laten horen omdat ik een deadline week heb. Moest een booktrailer gemaakt hebben en in animeren gaat een behoorlijke hoeveelheid tijd zitten. Maar hij is af! Ik weet alleen niet of ik em ook hier op dA zal plaatste of in een journal met de vimeo link.

Santje-Chan In reply to Appeltjesgroen [2012-11-06 11:45:02 +0000 UTC]
Het gaat goed hier! Bezig met de vormgeving van mijn scriptie en dat gaat de goede kant op, maar de laatste loodjes wegen altijd het zwaarst...
En dat geeft niet hoor, begrijpelijk : D Klinkt als een leuke opdracht! Maar inderdaad, animeren kost zoveel tijd... ik heb enkel stopmotion animaties gemaakt maar dan nog duurt het superlang voor je een stukje af hebt. Maar het is wel leuk, ik ben benieuwd! Ik zou hem zeker ook op dA zetten als dat lukt : D
