Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.
Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.
KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.
So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.
...Or so to speak. Can you believe I haven't updated this blog since last December?
To be honest, I haven't done a lot of drawing recently. I hope OCtober can light a fire under me. That, and I gotta work on my entry for the "Sing Me a Story" Challenge.
I'm not sure what to do this year for OCtober. I want to do something, whether it be writing or drawing. A lot of my OCs need to be redesigned. I should make the "Rebels" characters look less like Poke-mutants, and Jon from Destination needs to look a lot less like his namesake (not to mention a better-looking outfit-- I have no fashion sense, and it shows when you look at my OCs).
I actually wrote a little bit of Destination-- about half a chapter-- but somehow it got overwritten by an older file or deleted or something. In any case, it's gone. Kinda annoyed by that, especially since it was a fight scene. Then again, there was one part I wanted to change from that fight scene to make it more plausible.
Not sure what else to say besides that I've been watching a heck-ton of anime. I'm even getting into seasonal anime as they air, which I haven't done in the longest time. Some of the shows I've picked up recently are the new Fruits Basket, My Hero Academia, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Magia Record, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. I'm also pumped for season 2 of Yashahime.
Well that wraps it up for this entry. Please leave comments and subscribe. I want to know what you're thinking of for OCtober.
ORIGINAL CHARACTER ART TRADES ARE OPEN!!!!!! CAPSLOCK AND PUNCUATION ABUSE!!!!!!!!
Rules:
1. I draw your OC and you draw mine.
2. One (1) drawing per person.
3. No deadlines.
4. First come, first served.
Honestly, I'm not picky about which OC of mine you draw. If you want me to draw a specific OC, let me know. Also please provide references.
References of my OCs:
From Survival Instincts:
[Naomi] [Marshall] [Dice] [All three]
From Destination:
[Keba] [Jon] [Both of them] [Rakusa]
From The Rebels of Planet Aadau:
[All the protagonists] [Meh-Eh-Au] [Conus] [Most of the cast]
If you want other pictures of my OCs, you can poke around my Portfolio, too. I just linked the ones that I thought were the best.
You might be wondering why I'm feeling impatient about October. Then again, you might not be. But I'm going to tell you anyway.
Some of you know of October as the month when all those drawing prompts come out. Personally, I'm looking forward to OC October (or OCtober as some call it). While I don't plan on doing prompts, I do want to spend time developing my neglected OC babies. I haven't decided on whether to draw them, write their stories, or some combination. I just want to celebrate them.
Another idea I was kicking around was OC art trades. I haven't done much art this year due to lack of ideas, but I think drawing other people's characters might get me back into the swing of things. If I decide to do that, I'll make a separate post for sign ups. Right now, I'm just going to put out feelers in case anyone else is interested. So... anyone interested?
Me: I'm going to undertake this art challenge!
Also me: *Messes up and disappears for a week or so.*
Needless to say, I'm not going to finish OCtober. It's like all the inspiration drained out of me. I don't know why. Maybe I'll get my groove back before the end of the month. My goal is three more drawings before October ends. Let's see if I can accomplish that at least.
I forgot about OCtober for the past two days! O_O I'll catch up, but I think the next couple off sketches will be headshots.
Update: Well, I've had as many days off as I've had on. Something tells me I'm not going to finish this. I'm considering wrapping up my Destination characters' sketches and calling it quits. I hate to say it, but I'm a bit burned out. Also, my wrist started hurting again.
