Well, here I am back at home.
The past week was really wonderful and I'm really glad I took this chance to spent some time with my friends.
But right now I have to switch back to normal business meaning a lot stuff to learn for the oral examinations and other work to do. But I'm confident that I'll be able to do some arts in between.

We'll see.

Tomorrow morning me and my friends are starting for a 7 days trip to the Netherlands. It is said that there is a internet connection but I'm not too confident that this will really work. So most likely I'll be back online next Friday or Saturday - hopefully I'll have some new pictures then.

See you all,
DuskFennec

Well, as the title already indicates tagged me and I don't want to be the dog in the manger plus I've nothing better to do. But before I start, I just wanted to state that I finished my last tests last week and there is just one oral examination that stands between me and my graduation.

So let's see:

1. Name three things you think you do well.

1) I'm good at natural sciences such as physics, chemistry or maths.
2) Whenever people ask me for help I do my best to solve their problems or find a solution with them.
3) I'm able to sound intelligent when I'm just talking nonsense.


2. What's a moment in your life when you were proud of yourself?
Certainly there were several but I can't recall them now. The day I got my driving license was one of them...

3. What's a song you feel good listening to?
Oh, there is a bunch of songs that make me feel good and they change with my moods.
At the moment one example would be "Die Ärzte - Lied vom Scheitern" [link]

4. Compliment yourself on a physical characteristic.
That's hard. There isn't much to compliment about my physical characteristics. I have a quite strong resistance against illnesses if that counts.

5. Post your three favorite deviations from your gallery.
As I don't have a subscription yet you'll have to cope with the links.

Stay Away [link] , although there are some mistakes I really like it, especially since it was my first coloured picture for years.

Califas - Prophet of Tzeentch [link] , because it is one of my favourite miniatures I've done so far and it was the first time I tried non-metallic painting.

Wolf and Fox - Birthday gift [link] , although the photo sucks, the original work meant a lot to me and I really enjoyed drawing it.

6. Rant about your favorite thing(s) EVER. What makes you happy?
Why does it have to be my favourit thing ever? There are so many little things that make me happy. Walking the streets late at night when I come back from friends, being able to talk to someone who understands me, drawing whatever comes to my mind, seeing the happy face of a friend when I hand over a present ... well, you said, I should rant...

7. Write something nice about at least, but not limited to, three people! (They don't have to be here on dA).
There is who helps whenever I have technical problems and who scans pictures for me. Thanks again! I'll return the favour sometime!
Although he might not know always motivates me to improve my art skills. His miniatures are just awesome and I really try hard to keep up with him. Plus we share the same strange sense of humor.
Then we have who is the leader of our table top gaming club. He is certainly one of the strongest opponents I encountered in games like Warhammer 40000 and Warmachine/Hordes. But much more than this he is also responsible and helpful. Rock on!
There are many other people I should write about but please don't get mad at me if I just greet you all at this point and move on.

8. Write something nice about the person that tagged you.
writes cool stories which I totally recommend for everybody who is able to read German. And I still owe him a Kiriban picture... *is-ashamed-and-hides-in-the-corner*

9. Now it's your turn - describe yourself in five words (at least three have to be positive).
I'm too complex to be reduced to five words , but let's say these could possibly be the first five...

smart, unathletic, patient, allegiant, restrained

10. Tag somebody!
Well, I think I'll tag and and everyone who likes this stuff and can't wait until he/she gets tagged.

So, now it's over. Last Friday was officially my last day of school. From now on I won't have any lessons again... that feels strange...
Nevertheless I've a lot of work to do now. For example preparing for the final exams of the "Abitur" (diploma from German secondary school qualifying for university admission or matriculation). I already wrote the first test on Monday and the next two will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope it isn't going be too hard but right now I'm somehow optimistic. I guess I'll cope with that - others did so why shouldn't I?

In other words: I won't be able to do arts until I finished these tests. And a word for everyone who waits for something from me: Don't worry, I didn't forget you, I just didn't have the time.

So, that's it for now,

DuskFennec

First of all I'm sorry for the long time without updates. So what has happened? Easy: School. I think I mentioned somewhere that I'll finish school this year. So I had to write tests in the last weeks and now it's less than one month until I'll write my final exams. You can surely imagine that I've been quite busy during the last weeks. And the bad news is I don't believe that this situation will improve a lot in the next time although holidays started today. I feel a bit sick, my throat hurts quite badly whenever I swallow or have to cough - I can hardly speak a word! In addition today is my brother's birthday and this adds to the general state of chaos and business.

To cut it short and to avoid further long explanations: I'll try to get some pictures online in the next two weeks but I can't/won't promise anything.

See you then...
