:wave: Welcome to my mainpage! :wave:

So... something related to my, let's say, creative side.

Like many people here, I always enjoyed drawing and painting.
I love thick, precise lines and colors that are intense, vivid and pretty saturated.
I could say I'm addicted to visual images: from Renaissance frescos to movie screenshots and photos, I'm irresistibly attracted to anything that can be seen.
I really like reading, travelling, writing, watching movies and animation films.

I'm a comic collector; comics can be considered my main hobby and passion – I'm extremely interested and fascinated by their visual language. I also like make-up and cosmetic, and always bother my friends and relatives to experiment on their faces. ;P

You'll find a good amount of Dragon Ball fanarts in my gallery, but I'm not the hysterical fangirl type, I promise. ;)
I'd even say I'm no die-hard DB fan: it's Toriyama drawing style that I really enjoy, and the curiosity for his work and for the features of some of his characters are what led me to start learning how to paint digitally.

The fact is, I always found it challenging to give my interpretation about pre-existing characters. It's a great training: deepening some aspects of them, within the limits of the original authors' will, is something very intriguing and stimulating. I also try to write detailed descriptions of my works, to help you appreciate my personal point of view on them. There's always something of me in those pictures, be it evident or not.

Fanart means, to me, a tribute to characters and authors I'm fond of; a way to show you my personal take on them, to share my passion with other people and even give them some hints of reflection about aspects they maybe didn't focus on.

During my first visits on the Internet, I found a lot of talented artists who spent – and in some cases still do -, time and energy to create beautiful pieces about the very characters I loved. They made it for personal pleasure, asking for nothing but entertaining other fans. I was still very young, and my imagination was excited by those pictures.
At that time, I still didn't know what a graphic tablet or Photoshop were, but I remember those images inspired me and kept me good company.

Now it's my turn to provide you with some material, as good as I'm able to make it.
I work hard on my pictures and always try to do my best.
Should they mean for you the slightest part of what those 'old' fanarts meant for me, it would be a great satisfaction and honor.

:bulletorange: If you're not confident with English, I also speak Italian (well, you know... ;P), German and Spanish.

:woohoo: Always feel free to ask me about anything you should feel like asking, I do love chatting and getting in touch with new people! :woohoo:

Time has come for me to give a sign of my presence here. :XD:
Except for some random faving and commenting, I nearly disappeared from DA in the last weeks, so I thought it could be nice of me to write something to prove I'm not drown in books, notes and classes. ;) I've been actually quite busy lately... but fortunately I can say I have a couple of new things to share with you. ain't it exciting?? lol! ;P

:bulletred: First of all, it's official: I'm finally done with a good part of my first fancomic, as I promised!
As most of my watchers can imagine, it's a story about two of my favorite Dragon Ball characters, Bulma and Vegeta.
I'm no huge supporter of all-sweetness situations when it comes to this couple, so it's not really the romantic shojo-manga kind of story you should expect from me. Nothing against such ones – they're just not my cup of tea.
I'd rather say I was interested in analyzing a part of their relationship when things weren't still clear, and certainly not easy or pleasant for both of them.
I'm pretty excited by the idea of me actually making a comic, so I do really hope you'll enjoy it! :)
Story, script and the main details, as well as four inked panels, are already finished (though I mstill have to color them, which is a real pain). The complete story should be about 20 pages long and it comes in full color, because I think it's both a good training for me and something pleasant for the viewer. Not to mention, it's a way to convey extra details and meaning.
I'm not sure about how often I'll be able to upload new panels, since dealing with everything about a colored comic is quite a tiring matter, as you can guess. :faint: I'll ask you to be patient with me, I know you'll understand! :)
Let's see how this small projects comes out, and let me know what you think about the first stuff I uploaded if you wish! I'm very curious to know your opinion about this! :woohoo:
Here's the first page I just uploaded: [link]

:bulletred: I'm open for commissions at the moment. Should you be interested (something I do really hope, hehe! ;P), just note me  and we'll fix the details.
I just made a small guide of my commission prices; you can find it right here: [link]

:bulletred: I'm dreadfully late, but there's no way I can forget to thank :iconniamhbrennadarcy: and :iconlillychan89: for the lovely Valentines ([link] [link]) they sent me in February (told you I was late!) :heart: Thank you very much girls, it was so nice of you! :hug: and again, forgive me for such a delay! :ashamed:

:bulletred: A special hug to my fellows :iconnataliatherese:, :iconartemis-aka-diana: and :iconraspberry-mocha: who always make my day with great ideas about our favorite Dragon Ball characters! :hug: *Raspberry-Mocha and *nataliatherese are particularly active in this period! I do recommend to take a look at their galleries! :D

I think that's all... I hope you're all having a great time, and I full-heartedly thank everybody for your constant support and encouragement! It really means a lot to me. :icongwompplz:

Talk to you soon!!

A mask can make someone look cool, creepy, bad-ass or sexy, if that's the case then can it help me be myself?
