Art and greetings ^^

Hi-hi!
I'm new here, but I've loved the Shinsengumi (and anything
related...ANYthing) for quite a while now.
Glad to have found others who think the same!
I hope we'll all have a good time here.
I don't write, and I barely consider my writing of enough level
to 'pass' at Uni (plus, English isn't my first language), so I've no
fics to share (I do enjoy reading them, of course ^^), but in my
spare time, I do illustrations. Granted, I'm no pro either, but I try
my best. So all I can share is some art, I hope that's OK.
I just uploaded an Okita painting I finished yesterday, but I dunno
if I put it under the right folder (it's in Single Originals, I
think; if it needs to be moved, I hope I didn't cause too much
trouble ^^;)
I also added a recent piece of RK fanart. Granted, it's not
shinsengumi, but it does include Saito (my fave character from that
series, yeah); I added it cos I'm pretty proud of the piece, and I
won't be producing any more related art, as I will now start a Harry
Potter piece, which will probably take as long as this one took
(couple of weeks, I guess?), and only one art contributed felt too
little. Let's pad out all albums, yeah!
Ooh, sorry for the long intro.
So yeah, I'm new here.
Hello!

PS: and yes, though I'm not a writer, I do like feedback, too, if you
care to leave some. Critiques very welcome, as long as they're not
flames, but I don't expect such a nice group to be the flamer type
(I'm scared to death of flamers!)

"Okita Souji at sundown"
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/SHQ_Spy_Division/lst
PHOTOS >> FOLDER = Single Originals
"Kenshingumi"
PHOTOS >> FOLDER = Illustrations
(scroll down and hit -next- to see this new addition at the end)
both are magnificent
Okita at sundown is one of the most deepest portrayals of this
captain ever---you thought alot about him! When I saw it I felt the
warmth of the sun.
Kenshingumi is in a very unique style and the characters are still
recognizable and look like REAL people too!

Ah, I thank you deeply!
I really wasn't sure about posting them here,since they seemed if not
unrelated, then maybe a bit 'weird'.
But now I'm happy.
And yes, I have thought about Okita a lot, and recently came upon
good information (provided by some of you guys on the web, heh) that
helped me understand him better (only in terms of the art itself, I
didn't draw him that many times before I hit this version, i think I
sketched different versions,and then settled for the one I used here,
because I wanted to try that neat shadow effect)
As for the other one, I spent about 60 hours working on it, and
injured my shoulder in the process (<-- baka), but at least I managed
to sell it and made some money for my upcoming trip.
Ah, but look at me, I'm talking too much again. I must learn to
explain myself in fewer words, that I must ^^
Thank you for looking!

PS: I will email the site as you suggested. It's been years since any
of my stuff has been posted to a site that wans't my own gallery, so
it's always exciting ^^
