Commission: Blood Elf

...this took forever to finish! I couldn't find a proper reference picture so I had to make the armor up along as I went. It's probably not as accurate as it should be, but I hope *Theshizirl is happy with it nonetheless.

Knite: Lee Mei Hua

knite fan character lee mei hua

Taking a quick break from commissions to enter the Knite Fliers' Contest!

Name: Mei-Hua Lee (李 美花)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Nationality: Chinese
Kite: Dragonfly
Light's Color: Pink
Knite's Symbol: "音" meaning "sound"

Appearance: Mei-Hua wears a white, knee-length, pleated skirt with her Knite "uniform", and black flat shoes like Sen's and the other Knites. She has wavy brown hair with a peony flower pinned on her right ear. Her hazel eyes are slowly changing to gray because of her illness, but this doesn't stop her from going out at night. She also wears gloves to protect her hands from the string of the kite.

Her Story: As her sight is continually being damaged by the pollution in the air, Mei-Hua can only stay outside for a limited amount of time. She sets up one kite every night, and plays her violin as she watches the different colored stars. She hopes that one day, Sen will hear her song and that will allow her a chance to see (and thank) him before her sight is lost forever.

Series: Original (hoping to be part of Knite)

A.illusions Gallery: Grief


Many of us have witnessed in yesterday’s news, 9 people were killed yesterday in a hostage situation gone wrong. I can not help my anger, but my grief towards the lives that were lost outweigh any other feelings that continue to linger in my mind.

Could the situation been handled better?

Without a doubt.

As Hong Kong mourns for the families of the departed, so will the Philippines carry the burden of judgment, but no amount of words will ever suffice.

May God bless the departed souls and the families who were left behind.
