HELLO EVERYONE! THIS IS THE CHAPTER YA'LL BEEN WAITING FOR! I deeply apologize for the delay as I was not able to finish the sketch on time. Yeah.. because I just realised that I have so many homework to do lol.

Gosh I'm tired so please excuse my typo and grammatical errors.

Anyways, THANK YOU FOR THE 900TH FOLLOWERS OMG GUYS LOVE YOU ALL! To celebrate my 900th followers, I made a special chapter for you guys. In this chapter I'll introduce more about the art zone's owner (which is me) and also give more information about myself. Since I realised that I've been hiding behind my oc for too long, I figure out that you all want to know more about the artist behind these drawings.

I apologise that I'm only going to do a sketch for this chapter. I hope you'll enjoy :)

Firstly, I'm going to introduce myself officially.

Hey there!! My name is actually Astri for short. Yeah I know, Why my username is arisa then?? Well, at that time, I was not sure what to name my account so I just named it arisa since I used her name in a lot of things (which I won't tell you where). Arisa is actually my original character from a story called "Dorms of mysteries" that I made with my friends (credit to my amazing friends out there!!). 

No, I'm not the writer of the story. I just contribute a character for my story. Arisa is actually my first original character that's why I treasure her very much and use her name often.

However, since my name is difficult to remember as it is an uncommon name for many of you, I'm going to let you give me a nickname. I actually never think a nickname for myself since most of my nicknames are given by my dear friends. So yeah, I don't mind if you give me a nickname or call me with any name that you are comfortable with. (Just don't call me offensive names, nobody likes that).

Oh btw, 1612 is actually my birthday. 16th of December.^^

Next is I JUST WANTED TO SAY;

Yes, thank you all for your supports especially for my followers that followed me from the time when I published the first chapter of this art book. I really appreciate your loyalty and  all your votes and beautiful comments that you give. Let me tell you that they always made my day.

You are all an amazing person and I hope that you'll continue to support not just me but other amazing artists out there especially the small yet talented artists since their art seriously deserves more attention.

Thank you too for the new followers!! For the never ending votes from you all. With this chapter I hope you know more about me. But more importantly, I WELCOME YOU ALL TO my ART ZONE SO LET'S HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE RIDE!!

Oh here's a small version of me lmao.

Well as you can see I'm not used to drawing chibi so pardon the proportions. I don't know why but drawing cute things is not my forte. Most of the characters I draw looks mature and my style is either semi realism or anime like style(?).

Hahahaha, the funny things is right, I don't even know what's my style. I'm still not sure about my own art style as it keeps changing. So I'm going to ask you guys..

1) Do I have an art style? 

2) Is it easy to recognise my drawing?

3) What makes my art different from others?

4) What do you like the most about my art style?

5) How much would you pay for my A5 full coloured drawing? (For examples are the opia and lucas drawing)

Those are the five questions that I often questioned myself but hey I wouldn't know the answer since I'm the artist herself. So, I need your guys opinion.. it's ok if you don't answer all the questions. I'm already very grateful even if you just answer one of them.^^

Next is... you probably know me as the artist who have semi-hiatus as a status. Why semi-hiatus? I actually still visited wattpad to read but not to update my art book. That's probably because I don't have any drawings that are finished so I apologize for the slow update.

Hahaha yeah I'm very sorry for the semi-hiatus status. I know I've told you this many time before but I'll become more and more busy especially towards the end of the year, I have national exams by the end of the year so I may even be hiatus for real. But regardless, I'll try to reply your comments and update this art book as best as I can.

Hahaha this is probably the reason why I'm so out of date and forever alone.

Don't worry, I have corner with me. Corner is actually a very sexy being. Seriously, corner is so fit that it's rock hard, literally. I should probably stop talking omg before I started to say something even more ridiculous.

You all probably know me as the lone artist since firstly, I never drew myself and secondly, I hardly draw myself with anyone here! I hardly draw something for someone here nor do I tag other wattpad artists in my art book (except for that one shout out chapter but that's just a one time thing).

Yeah I'm so a LONE artist (not lonely). I seriously need to be more active and social more with you guys especially other artists.

Can you guys guess the artists that I'm rather close with?

Yeah probably no.. not really since I never tell you guys anything.. Gosh I feel so bad but actually I really like to make new friends! I hope that I can have more friends share the same passion as I am. But yeah, don't be shy if you want to be my friend, I don't bite rawr. Oh please, the only thing I'm going to bite are foods cause foods are bae. Anyways, I'm getting out of track again... What am I talking about? Oh yeah friends.. don't worry if you don't have the same passion as I do, I'll still be your friend is you want to. 

Well, as long as you treat me as an equal. I'm in NO position to be above of you all. I'm a normal human as much as you all are, I'm not special at all. Hey, if anything, I'm nothing but some plain person. I don't have anything that make myself stand out from the crowd... probably that's why I blend so well with the corner lmao. Yeah, I may not look like it but at times I'm insecure about myself and how people view me. There's a limit to how someone can be or act care free and not worry about anything.

Let's not get depressed here. Trust me I always try my best to think positive and be cheerful. Some people even said to me that it's not good to bottled up my emotions but I could care less about that. I don't mind being happy for people, to smile for them.

To be honest I rather listen to people's worry rather than telling my own problem since usually when I have a problem, it is usually a complicated one and affects my feelings deeply. But, I just like to help people I guess even though some said that I'm too oblivious of my surroundings which is true at times.

I actually like to socialise with people. Some even think that I'm an extrovert but nooo, I'm an introvert lol. So yeah, I look forward to be friends with you all. I hope with this, you'll be more at ease when talking to me.

To end the first part of this chapter I would like to give you all 10 random facts about me:

1) My favourite colour is black

2) Fish and chips is my favourite food and chocolate lava cake is my favourite dessert of all time. (I just like chocolate... chocolate is bae)

3) I don't like pizza.. sue me but I really don't like pizza

4) I only eat chicken burger.. I don't really like beef burger

5) A very messy artist.. Like literally, I'm super messy when doing art

6) Love anime with supernatural or action as the genre

7) I dislike shojou or romance anime.. I would actually laugh when watching cheesy romance anime or drama.

8) For some reason... I don't really like to read stories that contains heavy angst

9) To be honest I have so many art senpai.. but my top 5 are (omg this is hard) Honhonx, Reyhansartwork, Joe_ling, Yoonisaki and Kidchan. (Those are the username of their instagram). Trust me when I said it's really hard to pick them since I have too many artists that I look up to

10) I like to read both manga and manhwa but I'm really into manhwa nowadays (especially bl manhwa) lmao.

Well, that's all for now! I don't have much to say since I'm saving my words for the next part of the chapter. Stay tuned and enjoy!!
