Description
We stand, our backs pressed together, our empty hands locked tight.“Hold them out. I want everyone to see,” he says.
I spread out my fingers, and the dark berries glisten in the sun. I give Peeta’s hand one last squeeze as a signal, as a good-bye, and we begin counting. “One.” Maybe I’m wrong. “Two.” Maybe they don’t care if we both die. “Three!”
My tribute to one of my favorite books ever: “The hunger games”. I really couldn’t help but to fall in love with it. One of those books that give this special feeling to you, you can’t really understand or classify. That keeps making you think about it over and over, even days after you finished reading it.
I strongly recommend this to every teenager who loves science fiction, action, adventure and romance all in one!

Fantastic! I imagined peeta a lil bit... not that muscular, you know?

Totally. That's how I imagined him as well, but when it comes to drawing him... I don't know, I kept thinking the result would look better if I drew him a little bit more "muscular"
Thanks for the complimenr and the comment, by the way (love your nickname. Has the "Ella" part something to do with some other fictional character?)

Yup!
Actually, I look a bit like Bella from twilight, and my friends called me Bella and Katniss. But because I really LOVE the name katniss, I told them to call me Katnissella. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it does! It's nice
If I told you my "nickname"... that wouldn't make any sense
So you look a bit like Bella??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually... a lot. Not a bit. People stop me at the street and say :"Hey you look like the girl who plays Bella!". And they always comment about how much do I look like Kristen Stewart, but I don't see it! Haha!
What does your nickname mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O.o Really! Maybe you should like chose a deviant ID to "exploid" that resemblance. would be fun!
My nickname is not mapvee, that's just my "artist name". the way some people call me has more to do with a wordplay from german to spanish (i go to a german school but am spanish) so its a loong story

Hahahaha!
So you're spanish, and go to a German school and live where?
I live in Greece, I am Greek, I go to an art high school.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In Spain
I'd looove to visite Greece. Must be really beautiful (only my only references are Mamma Mia and those travel brochures xD )
Are there "art" high schools in your country? You only have art classes there or what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Greece is wonderful, indeed.
We have mandatory Art,Drama and Dance classes. We also do all the normal subjects. I am at the 8th grade, so it's not that hard (yet)
We have all kinds of stuff there. 9 school periods per day, and such
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
anyways, your school does seem to be cool. i'd like to have art classes as such as well (we only have "history of art")...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
History of art at my school is pretty boring, lol. We have 2 periods every week for this subject. With a totally boring teacher, argh! Haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess that goes for me too xD

I am really happy today, what about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Me too. I had two art lessons by the way... Van Gogh, Picasso... was fun

Haha! We are studying about Andy Warhol at the moment, and about 2 spanish architects, who make absurd houses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's impossible! Spanish people never do absurd stuff... 
Andy Warhol did pop art, didn't he? I'm not sure if I like that kind of art... do you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am not really into this kind of art, but there are 2 twin guys at school who are like younger versions of andy warhol. They are amazing at painting and drawing, and at the same time, they look like him
LOL, this spanish man is an architect and he likes to build some crazy buildings.

How cool!! Not only do they have to have an art gift but also to look like one artist too?

Haha, that's great.I can't even swin.
This summer, I was in the water, and I was trying to swin (but I cant) and I got bitten by jellyfish and was almost drowned.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O.o Are jellyfish that violent? Good thing you didn't drown!!
Actually I love water, swiming... There are great waters in Greece, aren't there? White sand, transapent, clean water... Or is it just a cliche?
Since I live on an islend we have beaches too, only our main one was closed a few days ago because of some sort of poison or something that was in the water... O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's too bad
In greece, we have 2 really polluted beatches, and ay many pure ones with white sand and beautiful waves and such. There are some who look very fairytale-ish

I sure about that... (Ours has reopened. No wonder since it's been weeks since I last wrote to you
By the way, tomorrow I have an art exam! (impressionism, cubism, symbolism...) I hate learning dates and names... But the topic itself is nice, I think. Wish me luck!

Oh, good luck!
I hope you do well on the test
