NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM

I just had a MAJOR flashback to memory lane recently lol My mom is across the hallway blasting some Hawaiian music I hadn't heard since I was a kid :D

I feel so unusually happy now <3 Earlier I was getting frustrated trying to draw some stuff for Anime Vegas >____<

Excuse me while I go into my "Local Boy" mode =w=

"Shoots brah...I miss dis kine music! Long time I neva heeya all dis kine music. I so stuck doin anime and stuff, I let dis fly right ova my head. All da adults would be drinkin beeya while us keikis was running around ackin stupid xD BBQs, graduations, oa jus one get to geda; we'd bas out da local jams!"

Okay I can't type broken english lol But seriously though, I want to share a bit of my heritage with you all. Please lend me your ears and listen to the sounds of Hawaii as I heard it growing up.

Getting my First Artist's Table! 8DDD

Though they haven't put it up yet, I WILL be getting an artist's table at Anime Vegas this September.

Now then I need you, my subscribers. I need your help in giving me ideas for fanart prints to sell at this con. It'll probably be small cuz the last one only had about 8 artists show up >____< But you never know what might happen right?

So then, please give me any and all ideas of what anime/manga prints YOU would like to see from me. I kinda know which ones are obvious to do but I need more ideas just in case.

Here's My List of Possible Ideas:
Persona 3&4
Blazblue
Guilty Gear

I'm planning on doing a small handful of sketch commissions while I'm at it. Damn I'm gonna be busy for a while =____= Didn't think I would have to THINK so much on this lol

FREE DRAWING UP FOR GRABS!!! [DONE]

YOUTUBE TOOK DOWN THE VIDEOS!!! D8< Oh well I'll just figure out another contest later on down the line. I gotta go work on the dA winner's drawing lol

I've got a winner on dA now! But I need one here too! >___< Come on guys try it out!!!

I'm doing this little contest thing on dA and I wanted to make one for theO while I was at it. I've been stuck on stupid for Majikoi and noticed they released a drama CD of it featuring all the characters in the game.

THE RULES

Name as much Seiyuus as you can from hearing this drama CD. If possible, give me the Seiyuu's name and the character they play in the drama CD or any characters I can relate their voice to. I have my own little list of who plays who already set; I will assess your answers and tell you if any of them are correct or not

To help set who the characters are, I have listed them as they are heard for the first time on the drama CD:

Captain
Yamato
Momoyo
Kazuko
Miyako
Chris
Moro
Yukie
Matsukaze
Iyo
Gakuto
Jun
Koyuki
Ikurou
Touma

And that's it! The winner is decided by who has the most amount of correct Seiyuus named and as stated above, there will be separate winners from dA and theO. If you interested, please give it a shot >w<b

HERE'S THE VIDEO!!! GET TO CRACKIN EVERYONE!!! 8DDD

Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai ^o^/
