Nikki van de Pol

Name:Over there *points up*
Shout-name:Nik. But if you’re not my best friend, which is quite likely the case, it’s wise never to call me this way. Unless you’re suicidal of course.
Ridiculous nicknames:Vicks (because in primary school I always had candy called Vicks with me) Gestapo Girl (because of my addiction to black leather jackets, for the record, I didn’t introduce this one) Fraulein Flick (same reason as the previous one, referring to Herr Flick from the series Allo Allo)
Age: 20 But for some inexplicable reason my parents have incredible trouble to remember this
Weirdest age guess ever:26 when I was 15
Birthday(=major hint!! ;P ):17 August
Hair:light brown, very long (about 85cm average)
Eye colour:green
Weight:None of your business, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you even if I wanted to. The explanation is both easy and stupid. I haven’t seen a pair of scales for at least two years, cause it drove my dad crazy that mom was using it so much and giving endless lists of comments that he hid it somewhere in the house, on a cabinet to be precise. Alas, the only way to get near it is a balance exercise on the edge of the bath and I don’t feel like breaking my legs so I’ve decided that as long as I look thin I shouldn’t worry. (for those with question marks rising above their heads: I still do consider that to be the case :D)
Nationality:Belgian. For all those who still believe it’s a city, the capital of Antwerp, a province of Germany or whatever absurd kind of community. (experience taught me this isn’t rarely the case) It is a country. A tiny one, but it is one. We exist. Thank you for acknowledging it. :P
Languages:Dutch, English, French, German (more or less, understanding goes a whole lot better than actually speaking it) and a tiny bit of Elvish, as pretty much everyone around here.
Option at school:Latin-Greek. Call me strange, but some people do love to translate poetry and texts written in ancient and very very dead languages. Meaning, unless they force me to, which is, alas, at school quite often the case. update: Now I've moved on to university where I'm studying Latin-English with specialization in literature.
Hobbies:dancing (funk, free style, street dance,…), skiing, horseback riding, hiking, playing tennis, drawing (surprise surprise),writing stories, reading, going to the movies/theatre/concerts, photography, travelling and generally having as much fun as possible.
Music:Almost all kinds. But metal is an obvious favourite!
Band:Nightwish. I just love their lyrics! and Kamelot, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Saxon, Therion, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Epica, Dragonforce, Stratovarius and so on, just add some more metal :D 
Favourite colours:black, red, silver
Favourite drink:Aquarius
Favourite alcoholic drink:Champagne (hèhè, expensive taste) /
Favourite place:My boyfriend's arms.
Best qualities:loyalty to friends, optimism, (on a skiing holiday with school the general rule was: if Nikki isn’t cynical anymore, then it IS too cold to go on) humorous.(last holiday I was doing a playful sarcastic quarrel with my dad in the ski lift. Let’s say, we noticed the guy next to us was from Flanders too, cause he burst out into laughter and was actually crying non-stop the whole way up) adventurous and obsessed with my boyfriend :D I consider that a quality ;)
Worst qualities:incredibly stubborn, (I’ve once hiked 27 km in the mountains with two hurting feet. Nobody noticed until the last two km, and that was because I actually fell on my knees, cause I was unable to stand and I’ve been known to do worse stunts) I do forgive but I never forget, addiction to long-haired cute guys (beware if you’re one of them ;P   
Motto:Carpe diem, noctemque (seise the day, and the night as well)
Art trades:I promise nothing, but I’m always interested!

Hello Nikki thanks for visiting and commenting this of my pictures. I am glad that I succeeded to give you such impression of lucky summertime in sileniland. Greetings from (D) to ( from Jochen. Nikki van de Pol replies: "np Your pics just make me happy and they’ve got a really unique style. You deserve more comments. " 10 Nov 2009 Jennifer Huggins Loading... Thank you so very much for stopping by and commenting on my art work. I looked through your gallery and I would have to say that I’m quite impressed. Your sense of perspective and composition are wonderful and each of the pieces has their own unique element. Keep up the great work! Nikki van de Pol replies: "Np, you deserved it, and the pic certainly did. And thanks a lot Though I think I have a lot of practice ahead of me still before I’ll really be able to live up to that compliment. " 11 Nov 2009 Marie Violetmoon Loading... "... your are so kind Nikki, thanks so much. I don’t speak english very well. I really admire you with what you’ve done. I like you’re art and the beautiful poetic descriptions for the pics too. Undeniably, you win the people’s heart, thank you! Nikki van de Pol replies: "I already told you you deserve the comments. You’re almost the only artist out here who has ever made me like poser work by giving it such a natural feel. I have to support that And thanks again for the kind words about my pics." 12 Nov 2009 Heather xx La Vampire xx Chinerry Loading... Thank you for commenting on my pic I have another 2 if u wanna see them although they are both on my Other Works page. Nikki van de Pol replies: "Sure Too bad they ditched the frames indicating the newest pics in galleries though. It’s gonna be a pain finding them. Well, actually, I did find one already, I’ll see when I’m in the mood to go and spot the second. " 12 Nov 2009 Heather xx La Vampire xx Chinerry Loading... Yeah, i can tell u the names of them if u like? Nikki van de Pol replies: "Would be handy I guess ’randomness’ was one, but I’d be grateful if you’d safe me the search for the other new one I’m buried in Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica for the moment, doing a syntactic corpus research and I comment once in a while on Elfwood to get my mind off it really, but any additional intellectual activity (like checking the pics’ dates), I’m sort of avoiding right now. (God, I must seem so pathetic to you now ) And it’s fun to know Latin, it’s just, well, incredibly difficult, at least, my professors make it difficult. But it’s worth the trouble I guess. " 12 Nov 2009 Heather xx La Vampire xx Chinerry Loading... Ok then, my other one is called: Flirty Em. It is actually an older one that I have re-uploaded ’cause I can’t remember why it wasn’t there when I looked for it so I put it on here again. I have some more recent ones but not a recent as these 3. Plus I have some writing peices if u would like to read them? Nah u don’t lolz. Nikki van de Pol replies: "Don’t worry, I’ll come back some other time, but I can’t comment on everything at once, I’m only human,...sadly enough... " 13 Nov 2009 Heather xx La Vampire xx Chinerry Loading... Nah it’s alright, lol. Nikki van de Pol replies: "" 16 Nov 2009 Melly Sylvarian Loading... Hellooo! Sorry I’ve been away for so long, I had to deal with some issues.... But I’m fully back now, babe! LOL! I saw your cheetah tatto, it looks sooo great! I want to start drawing tattoo designs too! I’m thinking of a Unicorn standing to her(cause it’d be a female of course!-diverse sexism....^_^) 2 back feet, glorious and all....Ya know, I’ve drawn a fairy once, and a friend of mine asked me if she could "tattoo" it to her upper back on the right shoulder....but I guess that’s not concidered as "tattoo designing" actually. What the heck! I’ll give it a shot! ^_^ P.S.: your Fanart gallery is great too! May I ask if there are any pictures of Jack Sparrow(or generally Johnny Depp) or some other manga than Bleach in your "art archives"??? If yes I’d be more than excited to see these pics posted here! Nikki van de Pol replies: " Too bad, I hope you’re okay now, or will be soon anyway. *hug* And I’d love to see you designing some tattoos. The idea sounds great, actually I’ve been thinking about doing a uni myself for some time, but I never get around doing it. Lazy me...(and of course the uni should be female ) As for the fan art, well, I’ve got one pencil drawing of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, but that’s off limits here since it’s based on an existing photograph. But I’ll post it in my deviantart gallery for you. That’s the best I can do. You can find my gallery here: http://nikki-vdp.deviantart.com/ And other manga drawings I don’t have since Ulqui is actually the first time I’ve tried that style. Was there any particular character/series you wanted to see?" 24 Nov 2009 Alanna Nöelle Stokes Loading... Hey it’s been awhile, i hope that things are going well, not a whole lot is new....just wanted to stop by and say Hi!! Nikki van de Pol replies: "Well, hi back to you! Hope you’re doing fine I’m sort of drowning in work at the moment but aside from that things are okay. I just wish I could finally finish some drawings but right now I’d have to trade drawing for sleep, and I’m tired enough to go for the sleep " Page: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
