One for Nobunaga-san

[KayLynn]

I emailed a copy to Nobunaga, but I'm not sure if he got it. A sketch of Nobunaga-san. I only have MS Paint & Microsoft Photo editor to work with.  '>  

NIce work from MS paint '> Keep up the great work and detail.

[Kada-Ru]

Nicely done, CopperKitsune.

Keep up the good work and practice and you won't believe how much more you will improve!

As I tell people who are just starting out keeping tropical fish, "Even those of us who know a lot about the subject, started at the bottom at one point in our lives!"

The same is true with artwork. I myself have improved greatly over the past year.

I realized the title sounds like I'm proposing a toast to him.

[Kada-Ru]

Nothing wrong with that is there?  '>

[Nobunaga]

I've got a poem in the works for ya, hopefully ill be able to finish it soon, Domo Arigatou once more.

*rifles through cabinet for his bottle of saki for a toast*

Art trade I take it? I wasnt sure if you both knew each other or what...wasnt made clear.

[Jadnar]

Well.. I don't think Art Trades are done anomolously. hehe.

[Nobunaga]

although a trade was never asked, i was inspired to create some art of my own,  so i wrote this in honor of a kitsune who seems to be a good soul ,has a good eye and potential for great things, this is for you copper, '>

"The Artist"


who has a soul burning with fire?
who has a heart laced with desire?
Who's thier own toughest critic?
who works on nothing specific?
who spends days finding a muse?
who ,at times,  has a very short fuse?
who creates wonders out of thin air?
who crafts these things with the utmost of care?
who goes a little crazy every now and again?
who makes magic with paper and pen?
who takes an idea and gives it a form?
who finds beauty in the clouds of a storm?
who sees the world through the eyes of a child?
who's inner spirit runs free and eternaly wild?
who makes the world stand on it's ear?
who bears thier soul, despite a great fear?
who makes the world a much better place?
who creates such beauty with a tear on their face?
who does it just for the art?
who's inspiration comes from deep in thier heart?
who finds inspiration in the greatest of pain?
who's always lonely, and stands in the rain?
who's always been just a little wierd?
who's thoughts often are feared?
who's a great asset thats oft overlooked?
who always feels much overbooked?
the aspiring artist, thats of who i speak
whether a great lion or a little fox meak
be they a painter or wordsmith, or simply a bard
they should be thanked and encouraged for all thier work hard
poems or paintings, or tales of l33t speak
an artist is given what most of us seek
a gift from the heavens, for paint or for verse
a wonderful gift, both savior and curse.

~Nobunaga The Red~

thanks again.

Actualy Jadnar, I do it anon all the time. Some one offers me a price I choose to accept or reject based on details. I dont need to know them to complete a work of art for them.

*Squints at the poetry being in the wrong section.* Eh! Thats like flooding and stuff.

[Nobunaga]

i apologise if i commited a faux pau here, i honestly didnt mean to flood or anything, but it's the only place i could be sure that copper would see it, please forgive my mistake.

Its K. I doubt anyone minded. She does have a privite message function within the forum just to let you know. If you ever want to get something directly to her or what have you, feel free to employ it.

[KayLynn]

*Smiles & claps* Ooh! Good poem! <^_^>
Heck, let's go ahead and make it a toast! '>  He's such a good poet.

Nope, not a trade, just one of those random acts of kindness/art '>  '>


EDIT for toast  '>
