Re: RIP Vierge
I first spoke with Ai when she went by Vierge on the Magical Sailor Fuku forums. MSF had a very active art board that I was proud to be a part of, and there were dozens of talented artists who would share their work and take requests. Even among all of these great artists, the very best was Ai.
We got to know each other better through AIM once I started to moderate the art forums, and Ai was one of the few people I stayed in contact with after leaving MSF. Her artistic advice and encouragement was a major factor in my decision to keep pursuing my dream of being a professional artist. We fell out of touch over the years, but she made my life better by being a small part of it, and I'm sure many others feel the same way.
