I have 2 choices, either for the tank background I want to have like root of forest tree or giant tree or the river rocks design and for the ATBA background a forest/tree design :D

Anyway Alex, so far in my state, I never seen those magnet animal stuff.. :wink: maybe I can find another thing but I dunno.. hehe.. I can't wait to see yours painting when your ATBA is ready~!


Thanks, and you're welcome, at the same time... I'm more excited about my ATBA than you, I assure you. It's gonna be a great project for me. I don't get to build stuff very often. I think the last time I built something, was a bat house when I was eight.

I think I enjoy thinking up ideas more than carrying them out sometimes.

I had never heard of those until I saw them. Maybe they are only available in the US, or in super big pet store chains, like petco and petsmart.

Edit: Finished drawing this up a few minutes ago...: http://theartbook35.deviantart.com/art/ ... -131542755 The background color is what the color of my ATBA is gonna be. The letters are going to be arranged in a different way than they are here. I'm going to do more toki doki related things, like clouds, bubbles, fruits, flowers, and so on. It's gonna be fun to stencil.

Just a warning, if you decide to go through my gallery, do so at your own risk. I write horror stories, so, you under 18 people on here will be scarred for life, and my writing might change your opinion of me entirely if you think someone like Stephen King is crazy. I should've known how many times I'd have to cover my arse when I decided to be a nutso horror writer.

Know what's kinda funny? My biological father's side of the family is originally from Italy (I don't know what part exactly). Their original last name was Demeo. Well, the name they changed it too, which I can't say on here, is very common in both Malaysia and Nigeria. Makes me often wonder about what my nationality actually is... And would explain why so many people think I'm from India or another part of Asia. (My boyfriend's father thought I was half black when he first saw me, because my skin is pretty dark during certain times of the year).

So far as I know, I'm half Italian, part Irish, and part French. But with the affair my grandmother had, which led to my mother's birth, it's still a debate whether her real father was Italian or Puerto Rican, if he is even in fact her real father. All her parents died before I was even born. I think he most likely was, he was always involved in her life until she finished high school, every year he sent her flowers and cards on valentine's day, and wrote "Cara Mia" on the cards (Italian for "my heart").

There's my story for today.

Lord, I tell stories like I'm in my 90's, and I'm only 22.

Disney vs. Italian man...

I'm gonna go with the Italian dude, lol XD

Could be there is either more than one way to say heart in Italian, since he was referring to someone, rather than himself. Who knows. I didn't understand Italian when they tried to teach it to me.

Anyways, those pictures are freaking awesome. Your tank is so very, very big. And clean and pretty.
