Sky Is Mine

This work might be my top favourite of all of my works so far! I used all of my favourite mediums on this and I'm very satisfied of the outcome. And this was very fun to do and includes one of my favourite songs too. Enough reasons to like this one? 8)

033 Wrath

This picture has been my featured deviation for a pretty long time now. I might be too lazy to change it, but I also like it. I can't say if this is the best picture I've drawn - or, to be exact, painted -, but at least it is one of them and I like it very much. I hope you like it too! 8)

Radioactive Break Away

This deviation is my most faved one and I must say that I'm positively suprised that it got so many faves. I appreciate them all. ^^ I like this quite a lot though it is so old

066 Snow

This might be my favourite marker work so far. It's completely coloured with Copics but I also used ProMarkers a little and added some white acrylic to create the snow. ^^
Personally I really love the eyes and like how the fur came out. Plus this was really fun to do. That's why it earns it's place in my favourite works of mine.

I enterd :icondracoticcannibal:'s and :iconlunascythedragon:'s feature contest. :) [link]

It was very much fun. To dig up the oldest dargon picture and re-draw it really showed me how much I have improved. No wonder, the "before" picture is from 5-6 years ago, maybe 7. I'm not sure because there were no dates anywhere. A long time ago time anyway. I remember that I drew the old picture in our living room, possibly. Or in the kitchen. I'm not sure what made me like dragons, maybe I just thought that they're awesome. :shrugs: I just started to draw them. :) The old pictures didn't take much time, I didn't have the patience and almost no skill at all. Imagination perhaps. Now I have improved a lot and I have the patience to draw one picture for several hours and I find it very fun. I know I can finish a picture, it just takes some time.
See the difference! :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS NEW ALBUM!!
Aaand to continue with my comments about SA's new album, THIS message really drove me insane! I've been like "Oh my fucking God!" for a long time now. o____o I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS EITHER! *runs around her room and squeals* Thee-hee, they release it first in Finland! 8DD Less waiting for me. *is hunting for "pre-order now" button*

The cover was the last straw. It is amazing and makes me look forward to this even more! And every single track sounds awesome, they just sound so awesome I can only imagine how amazing sound Sonata Arctica has given to them. Especially Deathaura. Short, strong and I already have a feeling I will love it. Almost like Gravenimage. I am so sure I will love this whole album. I've always loved Silence and I really do love Unia, too, despite it's different style, and this album feels like... I don't even know. WAY TOO AWESOME! I have that kind of feeling. 8D
Can'twaitcan'twaitcan'twait! *tries to figure out what to do while waiting for the release*

If I pre-order it I'll have it at the same time as you! There is often a special offer when you pre-order it too, like a girly plus the album for quite a good price. I've bought that for Unia, and got the Digi-Pak version with a Unia girly. Same for Amorphis' Skyforger.
I'm sure "Everything Fades to Gray" will be wonderful too. I wonder why the word "gray" is everywhere is this album... What kind of mood was Tony in when he wrote that? Especially when you see "As if the World Wasn't Ending". Scary!
I loved Unia too, and I love every single album actually. This one is going to be DAMN GOOD in my opinion. Just look at the cover! When I saw it, I thought of the cover of Silence. Am I the only one to think they're quite similar?
This album, its name and the tracks were kept secret for a long time. The album didn't leak, which is a good thing. All of that makes me think that "The Days of Grays" is going to be amazing and freaking awesome. I can just barely believe there's really going to be a new Sonata album because of all the aura of secret around it.

Surprise us, Sonata!
« Okey, some nice person linked Tony´s interview to a Finnish side of this forum. I try to translate some things he said.

They already have a name for an upcoming album, but it´s still a secret.

The album should be out September.

The first single should be out in August.

There will propably be 12-13 songs on the album.

The new album will be more traditionall Sonata than Unia was. The new album will have progressive elements, but not as much as on Unia. Tommy had said to Tony, that he feels that the new material has much Silence spirit. Tony doesn´t know if he agrees, but there are some similar elements.

There is also more aggressiveness, which appears especially on guitar riffs. Tony thinks that both, traditionall Sonata lovers and Unia lovers, will like the album

And outside the album, he tells that they´ll have new countries on their tour. Countries like Australia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. »
I guess you might have some idea how I reacted when I saw this message! Acted like an insane! 'D Thank you so much for telling me about this. Life without a proper computer didn't even warn me about it...

But three months? Argh! .__. Can't wait, just can't wait. I'm way too eager to hear what Sonata has achieved during these few years. But I'm very relieved to hear that they're going back to traditional Sonata, I was afraid that they'd go on with Unia style and even more. Traditional Sonata is love. Anyway, the upcoming album sounds so great in every way that I don't know what to do now. All my thoughts are on it now, how it'll be like, when they'll announce pre-ordering (I will DEFINITELY pre-order it right away, I've been saving money for it already) and will they come to tour in Finland this time because if they wont', I'll die if I can't see them in Ankkarock. And I will go to see their "The Days of Grays"-tour even if my head has been cut off and I won't be able to walk. I'll crawl if I need to.

Yeah, that's it. I've been inside four walls for several days because I've caught flu (in the middle of summer, yeah u__u';) and it has done things to me...
Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this with me! 8D
