Apology for Absence

Hello dear friends.


I know this thread has been here for quite a while and there is a possibility that no one shall read it. However, I must address this sooner or later.

I would like to thank the people who continued to be supportive even when I was gone. Thank-you is just not enough to convey how I truly feel. It is a mix of disbelief, happiness, and heart-wrenching sadness that people still cared and believed in me.

To those who participated, took the time to come here to just chat a bit, or gave a helping hand… I am deeply, deeply sorry.

My utter lack of responsibility… for not giving a reason or some statement of what has occurred is completely disrespectful and unjustifiable for anyone.

No matter the reason, I am unable to give back the amount of time and effort people placed in this contest. The most I can do is apologize and make it up to everyone in some way.

I will do what I can to not allow something like this to occur again.

My humblest apology and utmost gratitude…

Sincerely,


renano

  Spoiler: sayforever's Entry 

Note: P.S. Why a girl character when I'm a male. I reimagined myself as a girl and this just came out. Just like when Arthur Pendragon was reimagined in Fate/Stay Night as a girl. Created it via photoshop a

Name: Elise Gunvalor

Job: Pilot/Swordsmen - AH Type



Age: 23 years old

Profile:
An air-headed but is a talented pilot and swordswoman. She loved the legendary chopsticks her grandpa gave her when she was -1 year old(Yeah, that's right, when she was negative 1 year old).

Town: Mirage Gate Town

Story(Most of this is a joke, so bear with it. I don't have any talent creating stories. Tee hee.):
One day, as she was eating her favorite natto in her favorite red bowl and the legendary chopsticks her granpa gave her, she dropped her chopsticks on the floor as they were put under the table. Being an absolute air head and didn't thought of looking under the table, she used her mobile suit and traveled across the whole land of Mirage Gate to look for it. And that's how, ahemmm, here pointless journey began for the search of the legendary chopsticks.

  Spoiler: michaerum's Entry 

This is one I made on my free time at work. Since I don't have proper drawing materials here, I just used photoshop (yes its not vector), and although its not a full character graphic, I want to submit it anyway. I may improve it when I have time so you can consider this a teaser XD. A part of me wants to keep its simple style though.

  Spoiler: too big so... 

Nirrelle is actually a representation of someone I lost iRL. She is part of a few other characters I made for a small personal RPG (made using RPG maker), though I haven't had time to continue it.

She "saved" me from a lot of things in my dark past. Nirrelle here has the ability to conjure a blade from her heart when she remembers dark and painful events of the past.

She is slowly getting consumed by the darkness and to stop this, so she set her eyes on various relics in hope to relieve herself from this darkening. One such relic was the legendary chopsticks. These chopsticks, previously owned by demonic cults, were made from part mythical beasts and part compressed human bones.

What were these for? They were used to eat souls or to transfer power and abilities.

Would these chopsticks be able to remove the darkening?

Hmm my entry...

  Spoiler: his arm is too long 

[img]http://i.**********/wXyLrYB.png[/img]hmm... any idea for his name?

  Spoiler: story 

He is son of a rich CEO. He is rich (well he isn't, but his father is), handsome, and smart. There is one thing that peoples don't know about him. He is a chopstick maniac. Some of his collections are: Normal Chopstick, Pokemon Chopstick, Invisible Chopstic, Gundam Chopstick, Alien Chopstick, Electronic Chopstick, and many more. Even so, he isn't satisfied yet.

Then one day his information source (no it isn't 4chan) told him about a legendary chopstick. The source said that the chopstick is hidden somewhere in Guyana. After that, he gathered all of his bodyguard, and went to Guyana

I want to add some more picture. but it's already the deadline...

[Ghost Kitty~]

Umm... if you wish then i guess you can~ I do think that people would be more likely to not draw themselves though ;p Original is probably easier~
