Screen cap from the few moments I was on May 11th. <3 I'm sorry I missed the party! < ~.~; >


'Tis almost time for me to grow up, and I'm rather excited. *lol* I registered/joined the Endless Forest April 15th 18:05:47 +0200 (*is really bad with time translation*...... < *o.O* > ) which is nearly a month ago! I can't believe I've been here that long already. Light is nearly a big deer. I registered on my third day here and went from a nameless deer to Light the faun, and now on May 15th Light will officially be no longer a faun.

I remember my first steps into the forest as an unnamed deer before that.... wondering what kind of place it was, and feeling rather intimidated but intrigued at the same time. I remember thinking "what if I can't understand anyone?" or "what if I'm just another annoying faun?" “what if no one likes me?” ... it nearly felt like a first day of school all over again... and that was YEARS ago for me. *lol*

I wonder if I'll miss the faun-hood? I have enjoyed feeling young again and being able to defer to other older deer to be in charge of things or to hide behind and feel small-but-safe... at the same time I can't wait to really make my identity stick and no longer look like every other faun in the forest.

However... It's not the 15th yet so I have to fill the time with something or go mad. < ^.^; > so speaking of madness....

Aghhhh!!! What is this gravity-less madness?!?


Am I really that heavy?... < O.O; >


Scary!!!


Aghhh!! The Troll got him!!! *hehehe*
The light today made the bridge rather creepy....

Hehehe... I find myself having so much fun in the forest now. I don't feel so shy, and it's easier to find deer I can recognize. *dances*

So some closeups and random pics for not-always-so-random deer <3 Because I can. < ^.^ >

Pretty sure these are Azure...



Wisteria (I think...) & another deer I don't know... playin' at the Playground.


The result of trying to get some better closeups of Nae at the Playground. *LoL* It WOULD have been a good shot if she hadn't jumped just then... < ^.^; >


Laughing off a log with Laruna. <3


admiring the view...


And some of my favorite fun times with Quamar *nuzzles*


eatin' mud. < ^.^ >


Playing dressup!


Learning the dark arts of the forest... *hehehe*

I think I've decided I really like trying to get closeups of other deer (so if you'd like to have one taken, do let me know and I can keep an eye out for you...) But sadly the only place I've really been able to get any good ones has been at the Playground and not many deer have been playing there when I've been around. (I may be found stalking around there frequently with my finger hovering over the 'P' key.....)

I did take a lovely picture of Laruna today though... (lighting adjusted in photoshop of course... because I love beams of sunlight...) Thank you for dancing with me today! <3

And of course the Forest with it's inspiring-ness has had me filling my sketchbook with deer lately... so in honor of the Native artwork of the Pacific Northwest tribes: a set design.


Done in the style of the West Coast (formerly the Nootka) tribes. <3

Since joining the Endless Forest my laptop has been begging for a more woodsy look, and the Forest is such an inspiring place.

So I thought I would share a smaller version of what is dancing on my desktop at the moment...


Pencil sketch + watercolors + Adobe Photoshop Elements + Inspiration = nice?

Meh...

My more human side sadly craves conversation now and then so I find me updating the journal for no reason. O.o...

I've been dancing in the forest now since April 15th and though I have met a few deer I can recognize now and then, my own shyness makes it hard for me to really get into posting in the forums. *hides in a tree*

For fun I thought I'd post a few screen captures I've snagged while playing though, because they are fun to take.

A Random unknown deer I stalked for a closeup because I wanted to try it...


...decided to play "Surprise!" by hiding in one of the larger mushroom trees... hehe... <3


From the day when spells were sticking to fauns... My two favorite combinations


And some fun with a few deer friends I've made. *doesn't know their names...* *nuzzles hello*



My artistic nature has also really taken to the Forest and one of these days I'll have to upload some of the pictures that have graced my sketchbook lately. For now though I think my desire for seeing words has been temporarily sated.

A few days ago I stumbled across the Endless Forest and thought it looked like an interesting place.

The second day I poked my nose tentatively into the Forest I found my reason to stay...

In all the years I've been around, I honestly don't think I can say that I have seen a more moving memorial to someone departed. It was solemn and deeply beautiful in a way I have never seen expressed in an online community. I am sad to say that I never had the chance to know Run, and more so because as I have seen the response to her passing and the memories posted in the forums I can truly feel that the world has lost a very special person. I'm sorry I never had the chance to know you, Run.

So I've decided to add my voice to the herd, if you'll have me... The chance to know you is something I don't want to pass by.
