Note to self: Yoshitaka Amano.

He's the dude who did the artwork for the Final Fantasy III booklet. I recognized his work immediately.

The reason this is so important to me is I used to stroke pictures like this all through my youth. Which is possibly why this is what people look like in my head. If I bother to look at the people in my head which in general I don't. But this is what you might look like. Especially if you are an original (particularly fairytale, fantasy or sci fi) character of mine. But it's possible this is what you look like--yes you, internet person. Seriously. Some of you have looked like this in my head. Not in so much detail. But you might have very swirly clothes. Or be Asian.







Ahh, I'm happy I found this guy. And now I have to go buy my sister-in-law his book about fairies. I need to go buy myself that book. Yay. I feel like I discovered part of my personal history.

well, me too.

Unless you're commenting on the utter impossibility of doing any other extracurricular activities while in band. Which is true.

In my school, band was a class. As was art. So it was hard to fit more than one it.

both were classes in mine, too. I guess I meant extracurricular in the elective sense.

Painting was the only elective class I got to choose (that wasn't band) all four years!

Wow. I also had the "problem" of attending 3 different schools, with different graduation requirements, in 4 years. So maybe my experience is tainted.

Duuuuuude. That sucks! Did your family move around a lot?

[my_daroga]

Yeah, we did. By the time I went to college, I'd lived in 8 places. In a way, it's made me self-sufficient. Also given me a severe case of wanderlust.
