Hey, guys, how are you all doing?
Personally, I haven't been drawing too much, which is why you guys haven't heard much from me. I'm considering doing an October art challenge like OC-tober or Rocktober. Then again, I'm always thinking about doing those, but I never get around to them. My fear is that I won't be able to keep up with a drawing a day. Then, with Rocktober, there's the risk of displaying by silly musical taste. I'm such a poser, LOL.
I have been watching a lot of anime, though-- mostly old stuff with, like, a million episodes. OK, a million is an exaggeration. Still, it's interesting how they used to air a whole series in one go. Of course, things are different now. Also, it kind of makes me appreciate how far animation has come when I'm watching something that's roughly as old as I am.
This kind of leads me to two questions:
1. What is the oldest anime you've ever seen?
2. Is it older than you are?
Hmm... maybe I should have left that for a discussion topic. I'm trying to think of some more good ones, and I'm not coming up with much. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
Here's a list of 10 anime that I like, as well as my favorite characters from each (you can pick one or any combination of the ones I've listed). If you aren't familiar with any of them, I have listed some characters from my original stories. If you don't want to draw those either, you can draw me a Pokemon-- any Pokemon you like.
A selection of SS pictures that I have received in the past.

The Original Characters
I'm just linking pictures. You can find out about the characters in the picture descriptions. You can read the stories here. (Just note that this world is for Subscribers only.)
Additional information (and some silliness) can be found here.
Other artists' interpretations of my characters are here.
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.
Final notes: I don't actually celebrate Christmas, so please don't add anything religious. However, my birthday just so happens to fall on the same day....
Thanks in advance, S.S.! I'm excited to see what you come up with. ^_^
...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.
Here's some artwork of my OCs that other people drew. I just wanted to show my appreciation to the artists.

I'm just copying and pasting the same thing over and over again. Here's a list of 10 anime and all my OCs.
Since I already got my Death Note, Attack on Titan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, and Assassination Classroom wishes, I won't be asking for those.
The Manga and Anime
In no particular order...
Fullmetal Alchemist I'm just that predictable. I prefer the manga/Brotherhood continuity. If you didn't know by now, I'm a total Greed fangirl. I also like Alphonse. Heck, any of the characters would be fine, since I like almost all of them on some level.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica I watched the series and the movies. I'm not sure which girl is my favorite, so I guess Madoka herself is a safe bet. Really, I'd be fine with any of the magical girl characters.
Fruits Basket The reboot gives me so many feelings! My request is for any of the Zodiac members, either in human or animal form. Or you could draw one of them with Tohru.
Magi I've seen both seasons, and I'm reading the manga, but I haven't gotten to manga-only territory yet. My favorite character is Alibaba, but all of the main characters are so likable that I'd be happy with one or more of them, too.
Spice and Wolf I've seen both seasons of the anime, but I haven't read the light novels or manga. My favorite character is Holo, but I like Lawrence a lot, too. If you like, you can draw some cute fluff with them together (hint, hint).
Gurren Lagann It's been some time since I've seen it, but my memories of it are vivid. I can't decide on a favorite, so any of the main characters will do.
The Seven Deadly Sins I only watched one season, but I have completed the manga. My favorite characters are Diane, Ban, and King (not necessarily in that order). From what I hear, Diane's birthday is supposed to be on December 24 (a day before mine). Also Ban x Elaine makes me melt with happiness.
Naruto/Naruto Shippuden I haven't watched it in some time; I kind of paused it right when they're gearing up for the war. I don't really care about spoilers with Naruto because the plot's been ruined for me several times over. I'll go with any of the young 12 Leaf ninja.
Inuyasha After putting in way too many hours, I finially finished. Shippou and Sango are my favorite characters. Really, anyone from Kagome's party is fine by me.
My Hero Academia I watched all of the anime so far, but I haven't read the manga at all. My favorite character is Izuku. I also like All Might and Ochako. Heck, I'd be happy with most any character (except for that sticky, pervy, grape boy who I hope bleeds to death).

Final notes: I don't actually celebrate Christmas. I'm just doing the SS because my birthday falls on Christmas. So please don't add anything religious. Also, please follow theO's rules, meaning: keep it safe for work.
If you plan on making a Wallpaper, my screen dimensions are 1920 x 1080.
Thanks in advance, S.S.! I'm excited to see what you come up with. ^_^
