Hi everybody! I finally have a paypal account, so I'll finally able to accept commissions, donations and do a couple of things more! =)

I want to thank you all for reading my journal ... and I hope to thank you all in next future for buying something with my signature on it ;D In other words, asking me commissions and other things like LJ Icons, Bagdes, Sketches ... etc.
As many people do, I want to put my "tip jar" too; donations are always welcome! ;) they'll sure help me in buying new art supplies. However I want to underline that's not obligatory, it's just a detail to help an 'Artist' with his works (of course). =)

Thanks for your attention guys ... and thanks for your potential donations!!!

Because hands are better than guns ... XD

Happy July 4th to all my American friends!!! =D

I have a small videoclip for you, just CLICK HERE
Enjoy! (BTW, 'Buon Giorno' means 'Good Morning' ;)

Don't worry: you'll understad it ... it's mute! ;D

I'm at good point with my little 'thing' at home ... I'm getting close.
Well, I feel really tired; I think I'll try to post some news tomorrow.
The situation is pretty "normal" right now, I just need to finish my digital chores before feeling free to breath again; probably I'll finally feel relaxed once everything is done. BTW, I hope that July and August will pass quickly.

The good thing is that I can test my skills with english and irish people.
PS: I miss you all guys!

Hey! I was cleaning my digital library and I found these photos I took in the ex-royal gardens of Monza; we were working on a short videoclip called "Star Worse" ... it was so funny! XD eheheh
I was the commanding officer or something, and for that occasion I used my father's uniform. =)

I thought to add a peculiar touch to my character, using one of my sun lenses and a little chain on my glasses. ;) Now I think I look like Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid III … vaguely. :P

I’m an one-eyed man too! XD

Absent ... Am I? ;) ihihih
I have few news; I'll talk about two strange dreams I had and I'll also post an photo (directly from my happiest years at school: 2005)
See you later! Take care everyone! =)

I need to dance an Irish jig ... ;)

Hi everybody ... recently my laptop computer was acting oddly: in the middle of my screen appeared a bright stripe. My neighbour is a computer engineer, so I asked for help; I should replace my screen with a new one, he said. Fortunately this time was only the screen! I had to buy a new graphic card one year and a half ago, but since it was attached to the motherboard, I had to replace that too.

In other words, my HP Pavilion zd8000 has a 'new' motherboard and grahic card (1,5 years - I've already spent 400 euros for it) and now I need to change a 17'' screen (265 euros); do you think it's a good idea?
It's an XP service pack 3 and I have all my programs in there (I can't use them on Vista). It was a good computer after all, I spent 700 euros and not 1.500 when I bought it 4 years ago ... personally I'd like to repair it instead of buying a new one. My father doesn't agree.

However I've my savings!
Tell me, what should I do? Repair the old one, or buy a new laptop?

If you need more informations, just ask. It's really important!
I'll aprecciate your opinion very much! =)

Finally I found a job for this summer: I'll work in a Acquapark for a couple of months (at least I'll get some money); I won't have much time, but I think I'll able to what I planned. ;) I'm slowly fixing my things and I can't wait to finish! XD

I'm doing fine after all ... just a bit tired.
See ya! =D

I feel the need to say it: "Thanks Mom and Dad for everything you did for me! Thank you for giving me all the nice things I have! Thanks!!!"
Recently, with this new computer, I understood that all those images, music, videos I've been accumulating during the latest 4 or 5 years (just like the objects I have inside my room) are the voiceless witness of my immense selfishness and materialism.

I felt like if I was in point to be washed away by own things and behaviour!
Now, I just want to reduce the 'volume' of what I have and then stop storing useless objects ...

PS: If you want to say something about my thoughts, please, feel free to leave any comment; I'd be happy to read your opinion.

I recently bought a new PC ... it'd be fantastic, but it's working with Vista Business and a good half of my programs don't work at all!
I have an old CD with Windows XP SP2; I got it when I bought my laptop a couple of years ago, do anyone of you know if I can replace Vista with XP with that CD? It says "Distributed only with a new PC HP or Compaq" ... but if I have its key it should work anyway, right?

PLEASE, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!!!

Ahahahah!!! finally, I think I found the right way to draw my character; now we can start with a bit of Kung Fu mixed with some imagination. ;)
I thought to start with something simple: facing the 'adversary' could be a nice beginning (BTW, I love that stupid sand-filled pear) XD
However, he may look like a normal, gentle and easygoing hare ... but don't let it deceive you, he has a lot aces in his hole! If two six-guns and twelve shots are not enough, you'll find a lot of suprises hidden under his waistcoat and sleeves; so, don't make him angry, or he'll show you that even hares have claws. :P ;D

Next time I'll try to draw a duel with Tigress and some expressions! Eheh
I really like how his face and proportions turned out; ... and you? What do you think about it? How close am I getting?
(I know, I'm boring, but this is the first time that I feel free to draw again. It's really important -for me- to keep experimenting like this!)
Please, be patient ... ok? =D Well, let's read your comments now. =)

Just another one ... I've to fix a couple of things here (I don't like it very much); tomorrow I'll try again with some facial expression a 'normal' poses.

Hey ... three days, three pages with sketches!!! =)
I can't believe it! XD

Well, here's another piece of paper with something new; I think I'm getting even closer. It's not that easy for me to change my method! :P
I'm pretty satisfied of this new head, now it's a lot cleaner and simple; I also started with the body: I tried to invent some new (strange) proportions). You have the main example in that side view.

It works after all, I think! However, I'm always ready to listen your opinion ... suggestions are welcome, you know. ;)

Mmmmh ... I think I'm getting closer; with those eyes and triangular-shaped head it looks a bit more Dreamwork-ish, I suppose! XD
What do you think guys? Can you see any improvement? =)

Please, let me know If you have suggestions. BTW, would someone of you help me with this thing? I mean, would you be so kind to show me how you'd represent a "Kung Fu Hare"? ;D :P ahah

Well, well, well ... a sketch finally! =D
Someone will surely know that I love Spaghetti Westerns and revolvers ... and, since I recently watched 'Kung Fu Panda', I decided to do a little experiment: I drew my hare character mixing those two elements with a bit of Kung Fu style. I'm not a good cartoonist and probably this thing is not very close to the style I was looking for, however I like it so far. =) ;)

I just have to confess that I really don't understand how to draw those feet!!! They've such small feet in that movie ... XD Ihihih
Tomorrow I'll try to draw something more.
Now I'm curious to read your opinions guys! ;D

Hi everybody! Yes, I'm still alive; I worked a bit with a friend of mine as bricklayer ('Pecunia non olet') and I painted my balustrade. I'm really, really tired and a bit depressed; honestly I don't even know why. :S

Today we went to Montblanc and I had the pleasure to visit the Medieval Fair; I also took a tour between the cathedral's spires, and I was walking close to its bells when the clock struck four ... what a nice sound! I love bells!!! =)

It was a nice day! These ARE nice days: I bought a couple of nice things and I'm going to fix few 'wrong' details in my room. BTW, I watched 'Kung Fu Panda' and I liked it a lot! (For that reason, I decided to use again my boken in memory of my beloved Aikido lessons) :P

I try to entertain myself, but I feel a bit depressed ...
However, I enjoy the nice things I have!

It's midnight over here, it means that it's my name day already; april 12th it's St. Zeno day!!! =)
Zeno (Anni Domini 300 - 371 or 380) was an important Catholic bishop; he's the patron saint of Verona, one of the most important cities in North-Eastern Italy. If you want to know something more, click here or here!

Personally, I hoped to spend this special day in Ireland ... unfortunately certain things didn't work as planned.
Well, another day will come! ;)
