Does anyone know a guy, from Spain, that goes by the alias Amani_lion? If you want to check it out, he's on fanart.lionking.org under that name. Now, most of you probably know I was frequently uploading on that sight, mostly prior to 2003, but haven't been there for a very long time considering I use mostly DA now, and the fact that I unfortunately don't draw as much TLK anymore -.-;; Now, on with my concern. I'm posting this message here because after poking around a bit, I don't think this particular guy is on this board at all.. and if he is, well, sorry to make this public, but I wanted some opinions before I sent a reply email back...
I recieved an email from him that.. didn't quite freak me out, but I am a little confuzzled. I'm not sure quite how/if to reply, especially the manner in which this guy was talking. He was overly nice yet at the same time apologetic for being so. You'll also all know that I'm not an outstanding artist, I never have been, but the way that he's talking makes it sound like I am... as if I was Evana or Domino o.o; There are thousands of people far more skilled than I. Anyhoo, I'd like some opinions, helpful ones, about what I could do to chit chat with this guy. After poking around on his fanart.lionking.org sight, he seems to talk this way to a couple of other people.. which is why I'm not too sure what to make of it all. So, here's the email he sent:
Greetings, Lady Rose Msanifu.
My name is Amani_lion. It´s an honor, and I mean it, to be addressing to such an outstanding artist. You trully have a very skilled hand.
Mylady, in my humble opinion art is a mirror of soul. Therefore you are a gentle soul. And this is far more of what it can be said of lots of people. I consider myself a good person too. I´d like to be close to other gentle souls who like and love TLK. This is why I dare to request the Honor of being friends. I know I´m a complete stranger so prudence is called for. I´m also aware that Friendship is one of the most precious gifts two people can share, so I don´t expect to get it just like that. But, perhaps, if you find me worth of it that will be possible. Anyway, you have a humble fan.
Mylady, just to end, and to avoid any misunderstanding it could be, I would like to say one last thing: I know I´m way too formal and my message can sound strange, even creepy. I´m sorry if it is that way, but, being this the first time I address to you, and being a complete stranger, I think this is the best way to show the respect and esteem I feel for you. And only after knowing each other better I´d had dared to use a more casual speech. My intentions are strictly respectful, mylady. Just to be friends.
I wish you hapiness, Lady Msanifu.
PS: I would consider me honored if you´d like to send me a couple of lines.
I suppose you can see why I'm a little confused and concerned as to what to do or how to reply, yes? o.o;;

; I was so creeped out by it that I just didn't reply. XD It didn't sound like he meant any harm, but.. yeah. I found it a little weird and since I try to stick to only talking to people I know via email and the such.. I just deleted it. He just went on and on about my art - which isn't as great as people like Yll's or anything, and he was on TLKFAA and my archive there is ANCIENT and sucky - and friendship and.. yeah. The formal thing. Weird. XD;
