Official on Haitus!
"April 01, 2008:If you haven't notice, we've moved servers! Becauce due to some unknown errors in my last server with the addition of no internet since New Years, the move will take a lot longer than I hoped. There's been funny things that's been happening, I'm guessing the coding, so I'm just going to re-do the entire site layout (the content will remain incredible as old as it is now XD) Please bare with me, I might not be done until June due to Anime North 2008 (I'll be running around this year too) and school. I apologize for the sudden down time but this site is now under Haitus due to out of my control causes."

( On with the rant just because I want to procrastinate my homework atm XD )
If you have nothing else to do, take the poll and comment on the front page. I was a spiffy thing added to Haloscan by JS, so I thought I tried it out XD It looks so spiffy tho <333 <--- easily amused OTL|||

Take care everyone and thank you for support Clyne Faction for all these years!

As you can see, three months have passed and still no internet. I've currently lost internet at home so updating the shrine is near impossible on a insecure internet line. So hopefully, internet will be back soon cause I want to update the site layout ever so badly.

Also for those who've tried to email me anything, the domain email is not working so if you must send me something please send it to: clynefaction[at]hotmail[dot]com. Please do NOT send donations though I will need to have people re-send them since they are all lost in not-working domain email.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm Free! I'm Free! *dances* So I'm finally done my exams which means I have more time to update the site. HOPEFULLY, a new layout can be made for the new years because I'm sure everyone, including myself, is sick of this two year old layout.
Of course my spamming isn't the real reason why I am updating. Last weekend was the annual Decemebr Toronto Anime Convention. I apologize if I was just dead-ish as that night was my second night of no sleep due to homework and last minute sewing that consisted of my pulling off a miracle -
three FULL uniform (jacket & pants) in 24hours so as you can see they aren't quite finished so please have mercy on me. *puppy eyes*



Sadly, there was a Lacus Clyne cosplayer there that I didn't have time to take a picture of. D= Ayu is sending lots of love to all you who still cosplays and remembers Lacus Clyne (even though the series has died out). By the way, if you haven't checked out the new Gundam series, Gundam 00,
you might want to know that there seems to be some sort of Haro family involved! Yes, that means lots and lots of Haros! *squee*

See you guys next time~ Happy Holidays!

I can't believe I totally forgot to upload this. *headdesk*



Moment of the Month: I know different places in the world differs, but over here, it is snowing. Snow is great to play with and draw with your tablet <--- real purpose XD


Quoet of the Month: I thought this quote was appropiate since the year is almost ending - Remembrance - remembering and pray for those in the passing year and to continue to walking and praying into the new year. (or I could just be reading to deeply about this one DX).



And for those who are interested in purchasing some Gundam SEED Merchandises, a selling journal has been set up so please take a look at it too:




Happy holidays everyone!

Please don't submit any donations until the New Year arrives. I hope to spent this christmas holiday clearing out and replying to my long overdue emails. Sending more submissions is not going to make things fasters. Thank you all for your support for Clyne Faction!

Just a small reminder that next weekend is the annual one day con: Decemeber Toronto Anime Convention. I'll be attending this con as Rokudo Mukuro from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! along with (almost) the entire Kokuyo gang (just look for Green uniforms XD). Feel free to come by and say 'hi'. Hope to see you all there!

Thank you for your support for Clyne Faction!
We currently bring you Pre-Order items for the new collection series: "Just for you..." More on the way~ includes Fall and Summer edition. Pre-order ends December 15th 2007.

Just for You...: Winter Blues
Just for You...: Spring Nights

New items are currently being handmade in time for the holidays! Please check back soon as we are hoping to release the new items in December. Fanart Prints will also be available in December.

Due to school and work, I'm going to change the MOTM AND QOTM every two months until Christmas break (though I'm suppose to be doing homeowrk right now instead
of updating *headdesk*). But I will update some news once in a while though since Gundam OO will be airing soon. So being on time this time here are the new updates you guys have been waiting for:

Moment of the Month: This was an artwork I did for the "End the Breast Cancer" Quilt project over at Deviantart. A bunch of us had created artwork so that we
could make a huge Quilt (over 400 entries) and support and raise awareness to Breast Cancer. If you didn't know, many women have
been struck with cancer which would have changed their lives forever. For more info about the contest & event please visit the original DeviantArt post Anyways, I know my intellect fails me,
but I thought this would be fitting for this years MOTM since Pink = Lacus and it was for a good cause. Please help out the cause if you can!

Quote of the Month: This isn't really a significant quote when it comes to the series itself but if you consider it outside the box, it can be quite meaningful.
One has the ability to open doors that block one's path whether they try or not, doors will always be unlock to have event unfolds. For example, trying to make a
website requires time and training but if one person considers it fun and treats it as a leisure or hobby, without even knowing they are actually learning something new,
just like unlocking a door. The quote is quite strong on it's own.

Well if you all probably notice, This Shrine, Clyne Faction, is officially Three years old a months ago! I hope we can continue running this site together in the near future.
Because I don't plan to shut down this awesome character's shrine any time soon! Because Lacus is just cool like that hahahaha XD

Clyne Faction is now re-opened, re-vamped and ready for business! Ths is a Grand Opening for Clyne Faction in the Asian Ball-jointed Doll hobby. We now carry handmade jewelry and clothing for SD and MSD sizes.
And in order to celebrate our new Grand Re-opening, we are having a special promotion.

All purchases much be over the $25, $50 and $100 amount before shipping.

This is also to celebrate clynefaction[dot]net's third anniverary!

------------

Finally on time for once. Before we head into the MOTM AND QOTM, I just want to announce happily and after painful coding CLYNEFACTION[dot]NET
is now Re-opened! So please check that out. Onto the updates:

MOTM - Moment of the Month named after this ideal. As time passes by, people will start forgetting and only fragments are remember also known as moments, special moments that we choose to remember.

QOTM - Sometimes in a fight there isn't necessary a "bad person". Both people could be 'good people' but they fight. Why? Possibly because clash of ideas, methods, etc. So next time your in a fight
take a step back and understand about both sides.

I'm back and well rested from Anime North. It was hyped up this year. But first and foremost:



Moment of the Month: Never be afraid of change. Everyone and everything changes, even if it's a small change, there is still a change. Everyday you learn or experience something and that itself could trigger change. A picture of the end of the first season Lacus reflecting on her past. The light of experience and change. A Wallpaper version could be found here.



Quote of the Month: Because in the end, Kira and Athrun ended the fighting... err.. somewhat. Depending on how you want to look at it. Another words, Foreshadowing.



And onto the main event! Anime North 2007! Though it's not alot of photos since I was mostly doing business.
Check out Anime North 2007 now!



And three new affiliates: Uncrown Queen (a Meer Campbell Shrine), White Dreams (Athrun, Lacus and Meer Shrine) and Visceral (a Kira Yamato Shrine). Go visit them! =D Affiliation is still open!



And for those who has exams this month: Good luck with them!

I know I'm in trouble when emails have increase ^^;; So without further adieu, updates! New, layout is just no happening. I apologize, I just don't have the same time on my hands as I used to. Although, like every year, Anime North will be something I will be attending. Anime North is an annual Toronto Anime Convention that I take part in (mainly panelisting) but this year I will be doing one panel instead of four. Sadly, it's not Gundam SEED but I will be running a Kingdom Hearts in-depth panel with my friends. But instead I will be one of the artists in Artist Alley so I hope to see some familiar faces again *cough*tammyyamijessannielacuscosplayers*cough* Come visit me! =D I will be cosplaying this year as C.C. from Code Geass and Sync from Tales of the Abyss (this game was awesome <3) Hope to see everyone there. Don't be afraid to say "hi" to me, I don't bite. =D (I'll probably not let you leave without a photo if your cosplaying lol)

For more information please visit Anime North Official Website.

Moment of the Month: A preview of one of the Lacus prints that I will be selling at Anime North. This is from the layout yes, remember how I have to re-draw this on computer? I will put that painful experience to use! lol

Quote of the Month: Honestly, no reason, I'm just using it as my own eyecandy fantasy. Even all these years, I still support and love Athrun and Lacus as a couple. Sorry to all those KiraXLacus fans ^^;;

The cosplays from previous years are all re-uploaded. Why? Because I gave up bothering to make thumbnails and reorganizing the page. Though I can't seem to find the pictures from Cosplay Picnic 2005 so that page is still down. I have no time to re-make-over the site pages atm. So remember that alot of the content are still based on the first Gundam SEED series.

And to celebrate, we have (as of now) 61,000+ unique hits and 500,000+ hits. So to celebrate I used my brand new tablet and doodled an awesome picture for you =D (I'm still trying to get used to the tablet first XD so don't mind the scribbly). Tablet is my new partner =D

Thank you for 61,000+ hits! [See picture at main site]

[/EDITx2]

ust a quick update. I apologize but there will be no MOTM & QOTM this month due to time constraints on my end. And for those who have their exams this month, Best of Luck!
Take care everyone.

I know, I'm late! But that's not new. But here is the new stuff for this month:

Moment of the Month: Strung by Strings: the ups and downs of life This idea hit me during drawing class. Strings is like life, it bends and curls but if you want it to be horizontally straight you need to pull on both ends. Just like life, its full of ups and downs; happy and sad moments; success and failure. It's never a horizontal smooth straight line wihtout touching it. It wobbles and feeble just like life. That is why I choose to use strings as the theme for this months, because if you think about, we're all strung by the strings of life.

Quote of the Month: "But I guess, since Pink-chan likes to take walks... Even if the door was locked, I would end up opening it anyways." - Seriously, it didn't occur to me til now how metaphorical this quote is. Throughout the series of SEED and Destiny, Lacus was always the one who gave oppurtunities to people for example giving Kira a new sword, Freedom and creating the Clyne Faction regardless of the danger she put herself in. When you think about it, even though the other door path were locked and overpowered by others, Lacus will find a way to open it, another path of the infinite possibilities towards the future - against all odds. (I can't believe I missed this one o.o)

An since I fail miseribly in life, yesterday was Lacus Clyne's birthday! Our pink princess is all grown up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACUS CLYNE!!

An onto news: Two interesting interviews regarding the SEED Series and the future plans for the Gundam Series - Nikkei BP Part 1 & Nikkei BP Part 2. there's more! Don't forget that in a little over one month, March 17 - 18/07 is the March Toronto AnimeCON (MTAC) that will be taking place at Metro Toronto Convention Center (More info here) Hope you can come and join us!

And last but not least, important dates: February 14th: Valentine's Day! Who are you going to ask to be your valentine? & February 29 28: The day I get old. (It's important to me XD) Knowing me and school, I most likely will not be able to find time to update so I apologize about the constant absents. And as for layout........................... one of these days it'll be done. I hope. DX

Have you heard the Wind's Song?
FINALLY~!!! A new layout featuring the elements of Wind in greyscale. Why greyscale? Because like the wind, there is never a black or white (hot or cold) there will always be a grey spot in the middle. Life is like that too but more importantly, doesn't it give the feel and energy of the wind? =D So now we're entering Version 5.0 although I'm more inlove with my splash page really. It's pretty. As usual, more info of the layout at the Layout page.

Also, I've been wanting ot change stuff here and there. Now that I have entereed University, time is limited. Therefore, I have shut down the following pages:
- plushies
- accessories
- fashion

And instead I've putted up old works and new pages. * means that the site is still under construction and I will take as much free time I have to work on them. btw, about page was updated just ot tell you all know =)
- commissions*
- web designs* (already made webdesigns)
- Single Works
- phootshoot (kstar shoot is up)
- literature*
- wallpaper*
and the ordering page will be updated so if you wish to purchase anything durring the downtime please email me at ayumi[at]clynefaction.net for more information. I know, almost all the pages are underconstruction but the wallpaper section is taking the most time as it is huge (with a collection of 34 wallpapers from 11 different series but 18 of them are mainly Gundam SEED & SEED Destiny though XD)

Also I'm doing a little bit more organizing on certains pages. Also, if you noticed, this site has also gone a little business like compared to before. Since summer, I've been changing this site slowly into my personal art site instead of just a network site. So just a headed up to everyone.

Hopefully I'll update soon depending on the workload.
Happy New Years Everyone!

Finally an actually news update. For those who will be in Toronto on the first week of Decemeber, be sure to drop by the Decemeber Toronto Anime Convention (DTAC) on Decemeber 03rd, as the addmissions are FREE. That's right everyone, this one day convention will be free so what more reason do you need to drop by? =P I'll be attending this one as I regret not being able to attend the last one (CNAnime/FanExpo). I will be bringing along my Mokkun from Shounen Onmyouji (just look for a white, fur fox creature >.>;;) So feel free to tap me on the shoulder I won't bite ^^ I will not be cosplaying this time as it is way to cold to be doing so. o.o;; For more info: >>>CLICK HERE<<< Hope to see you there! ^^



And for amusing reasons: Pocky is launching Pocky Gunpla Packs meaning, GUNDAM POCKY XD This is for a limited time starting December 11 as it will hit the streets nationwide. More info to check out at Gunota Headlines



Source: Gunota Headlines

[EDIT] My bad, I made a typo: The convention is on Decemeber 3rd, 2006 You can all wack me now ^^;; *ducks under the table*[/EDIT]

Yes I fail at being ontime but I have a good reason. I did not make a half-hearted moment this time =D (okay not too much with the quote tho, but it fits nonetheless) So I present to you Novemeber's Moment and Quote of the Month With an addition of two days worth wallpaper!

Moment of the Month: *headdesk* The complete opposite of what I want suppose to do. This time it turned out in a really dark theme instead of a light, carefree theme so in short Ayu just failed life. *headdesk some more* Well, I really like how it turned out, especially the 'not everyone is innocent as they say' theme because people commit sins, because they are human. Original theme was Dancing with the Wind but forgive me, I totally destroyed that meaning and I apologize if it's really dark and emo. I really blame .hack//ROOTS music when I was working on this. King Knight from .Hack//ROOTS is what I sub-conciously based this Moment and Wallpaper on. It fits the music nonetheless XD

Quote of the Month: Another song quote, Why? Because I can't think of any scene that could get as dark as the Moment. This quote tells how everyone/someone will tell you there is a peaceful, safe, beautiful land (eg. Heaven, Paradise, your room XP) but who was it originally who told us that it was safe? Is it really? Is there such thing as a "Land without Conflict"? Don't we all fight regardless of place? This is what the lyrics wants to know. Deep isn't it? ;P Next month I will try to get an actually quote.

And my reason for lateness, you can check out the new MOTM wallpaper by clicking on the thumbnail. ^^ Enjoy!

[Shall we Dance? Wallpaper click here]

Wow a month has passed by so quickly. o.o;; where did my days go? Well new MOTM and QOTM will be up soon, I'm aiming to be on time which is tomorrow. Please note that due to the immense workload, I will be not able to reply to emails til the end of November. I apologize for any inconvience, and I do understand that I still have mails since July.

And I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween. Please do remember to let your parents check your candy before eating them. Take care everyone!

Moment of the Month: It's really cheesy so ignore me XD Unlike my last moments, this one has nothing to do with Lacus. It just me and a friend talking and to fill up the empty space XD I will have a proper moment next month =D



Quote of the Month: None..................... yes I got lazy from going to search my disks so I'm putting this off til next month XD



For those back in school, Hurray! You've now got more homework than last year and less of a social life than last year while your teachers are trying to burry you in piles of more homework. =D Isn't that just great? *gts wonked for her sarcasim*

Okay I got this site a bit cleaned up and updated. 3 new photos, 1 new series: Garden of Everything and vector art as well as addition of "Site Featuring" mostly featuring newest artworks but sometimes I'll change it without warning to random/favorite ones. Merchandises and Addition products to the Art booth will be updated soon =D Yes I have new stuff!!

Also those who wants to order Paopu Fruits, I sold out! *dances with joy* So plesae pre-order them until I am able to make more. It will take me 1 - 3 days to make them. To pre-order just simply drop me an email or use the contact form. Thank you!

Enjoy everyone!

Just a reminder: FanExpo (CNAnime) Is tomorrow =D If you in toronto area be sure to drop by as many cosplayers and events will be happening this weekend (Friday September 01 - Sunday September 03). Sadly, I will not be able to attend due to work =( But I do hope that those who are going will be having a blast! ^^ Links to th ewebsite can be found here.



And on a random note: Yonge Karaoke on Yonge street near Finch Station (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) has Shizukana Yoru ni in their karaoke collection =D
