...Wow. I can't believe it's been 8 years since I joined here. I was 13, I'm 21 now. I don't know if any of you remember me, my name's Marie, I was this French kid who made paintings and sent them to Tom for his birthday. When I was 16 I met him in London after a play, he sent me two letters, one of them was for Christmas. Now I do art for a job, I'm an artist/animator in a game studio I don't know why I felt like creating an account here again, I guess that I felt nostalgic after all these years. I'm curious to see if my posts from 8 years ago are still here somewhere...my grammar was probably terrible back then XD But, you know what ? When I joined here, when I was 13, it's this forum that made me want to learn English in the first place. I remember how I used to say I wanted to speak English well enough so if I ever met Tom we could have a conversation. It took 3 years for this to happen. But I'm the kind of person who believes in dreams and never gives up ! I'm considering creating my game studio soon, I've been on a personal project for awhile, and now things are starting to get real as I'm getting really cool people to voice my characters etc. Gosh it feels so weird to come back here and talk about this, when I remember the only art I posted back then were terrible paintings XD Speaking of voice actors, do you know if Tom does voice acting too ? I remember back when I was 13, I though to myself "one day I'll be an artist and I'll ask him to voice one of my characters". I don't know what made me think of this again, but I thought... why not give it a shot ? XD if anyone here remembers me I'd love to hear from familiar faces again ! Marie edit : I found my old messages ...wow the grammar. so much cringe :')) hollanderia.proboards.com/user/37/recent?page=6

Gosh that's amazing  I'm too new to the forum myself to have known you but what a lovely story. Tom does seem to do voicework, yes - www.anothertongue.com/artist/tom-hollander (he may be with other companies too, I don't really know how it all works). Good luck with your projects, Jo

Also your English is very great ! Better then mine even and I went to school in the US and am multi Lingual . It can be confusing sometimes . It is easier to learn to be fluent when you are younger so it is good you started learning young .

The play was "a flea in her ear" ! It was 5 years ago so I might have forgotten a few things, but it seems kinda fresh in my memory still. Well, my dad took me to london just to see the play, we only stayed there for one day. I waited until the play was over and moved to the back door. I waited maybe half an hour I think, he was the last guy coming out of the building XD When he did I went to say hi, and I said I was this French person who had sent him tons of paintings, and I gave him another one I had made of a gorilla, because he said to me in a letter that it was his favorite animal. And he said it was really nice to meet me and asked stuffs like what I was doing in school I think. I introduced him to my dad who took pictures of us together. He asked if I was gonna stay a few days and when I said I literally just came for the play he was like, wow XD It was kinda fun ahah. He left after maybe 10 minutes, because someone in a car was waiting for him and he had to go, it was night time. I think that's all I can remember o.o I still have pictures if you want ! scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/183227_1591867644581_1301140_n.jpg?oh=b2cd56f2404819b5f71e87c3198c57ad&oe=5819150Escontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/184273_1591887765084_1412070_n.jpg?oh=167f4ffdc653318b23dfb3344f6113dd&oe=5858E55Fscontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/183723_1591888125093_4318866_n.jpg?oh=b41c8740eb14da44ae39feb0fb7cbb65&oe=5812670CAnd that's me now XD scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13921057_322780121397635_7962007980608231307_n.jpg?oh=972f2a3f026baf12c186e85312a85926&oe=585EDB79(I had to share that one too because I look SO different. I hate how I looked back then and I didn't want people here to think I still look like that loool. I went from classy kid to punk covered with tattoos lmao) As for my project, I can show you my thesis film if you want It's not the best quality I can do though, I was alone and only had 4 months to do it  I didn't have as much time as I wish I had to complete it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldw0H9VJNPoI also redesigned my characters recently. That's what they look like now ^^ (sorry for the sketch quality, I'll do better pictures soon :U ) orig02.deviantart.net/d866/f/2016/199/b/5/redesigns_by_kina_axian-daag8k5.png

Now I have 7 tattoos too XD and sure, here are pictures sta.sh/229w1nltvc7rAlso, GREAT NEEEEWS I'm back from london ! I went to see Travesties  I had started sending him art when I was 13, and ever since, I keep sending him stuffs. He sent me a really nice christmas letter and a second card once, he's super nice D: I met him at another play he played in in London back in 2011. We had taken a picture together, and he had said he remembered all the letters I had sent to him. And so this year, 5 years later, I came back to see him. And guess what. He remembered me o.o I had sent him a birthday letter with art last month, and he kept thanking me for it and gave me a hug, and we took a picture. That day couldn't go any better ;w; He said he really liked my characters too, and he said he would love to voice one of them. I'm like. omg. can you imagine. It's like, when I was 13, I would dream of that, and now, 7 years later, it can happen. It's just incredible. That guy is the nicest man I know, I'm gonna send him a super shaded painting for Christmas to thank him ezdhbjezhdujezhkudeank Here's a picture too !! sta.sh/02cvkf9em6sw

Congrats . I had seen your pic on twitter and tweeted back you. I like your style . Did you also draw all your own tatoo characters ? Pretty cool . I cannot figure how to post my tattoos on here . probablly because I do not have them picture hosted anywhere . I might be able to post some on twitter some time , Most of mine are on my back though . I have a big one on my thigh of Ganesha and an owl tattoo on my arm .
