Totally forgot to mention I returned to the Netherlands. I'm actually leaving again in just a few days! I'll be studying Ancient History & Archaeology at Durham University (St Mary's) in the UK! How far away can a subject get from game design, right? Haha.

I tried to update my website, Zententia.net, a little bit by the way: [link]
Obviously I haven't yet taken the time to figure out how to make a fancy journal skin or other such things, so I have to apologize for the plain link.

Hopefully I can also update my gallery again soon. I've been working on something really awesome, but since it's not done yet I can't show anything!

I hope this doesn't come across as ungrateful, but: please stop giving me subscriptions. If I managed to win a contest, or if you like me, or if you just chose me at random... I would be much more pleased if you donate the money to a charity instead. I can manage without the cool extras, honestly. So, please give the gift to someone else. For example, medical research ([link]) or education ([link]).

Contact me for commissions! I like to do tiles, especially isometric tiles.

Hello!

My name is Zenobia (it really is). There are two things I love: Pixel Art and Ancient History. I like to challenge myself by combining the two.

I've been a pixel artist for 6+ years and I've gone from emoticons to dolls and then evolved to pixel art and isometric, though I still enjoy viewing any kind of pixel art by anyone here on deviantART.

I also like ice-cream, turtles and Heidegger.

Holy moly, Zen o_O
Is it just me, or did your style really change since the last time I talked to you? Haha I'm so jealous, I wish I had time to pixel more! ...or, more like, I wish I could stop my self from playing video games in my spare time and pixel instead >.>
You, my dear, have always been crazy amazing, but you've progressed totally out of reach of me now XD

Aww thanks. I haven't updated my gallery in ages though x.x I am so swamped at uni, plus I didn't have proper internet up till now, and apparenly they're kicking me out of my room next week! How are you???

Make art. Not war.
:iconwounded11:
I'm doing alright, mostly :) Aydri is almsot two now and I'm pregnant again, though it's very early and I'm worried about it at this point. And I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome about a month ago o_O I;ve been so busy and stressed I've barely had time to do anything, other than my ridiculous obsession with video games >.> But other that all that crap, I'm doing ok.
...Kicking you out of your room? Whatever for?

Aw, ok :(
And yeah, I really should put up some new pictures. By chance do you have a myspace/facebook? They're my typical means of showing photos to family and friends.

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE!
Hugs for you! :hug:
Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!


If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
