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.
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?
Heya guys. Just wanted to say "hi".
OK, that's not entirely true. I want to say more.
After posting that one picture and feeling so proud, I have art block again. I mean, I have some motivation, but no ideas.
I also kinda want to write my stories again. It's been such a long time, that I feel a little afraid to go back. I was also debating as to whether I should post my stories on Toyhouse. Anyone else have an account there? (Don't worry; my stories won't leave theO.)
I'm trying to think of a topic for this month's discussion. "What upcoming anime are you excited about?" seems a little too generic. I was kicking around the idea of something having to do with reboots, sequels, and spin-offs, although I vaguely remember having a discussion about that some years ago. Any thoughts/suggestions?
In other news, I'm starting an anime DVD collection. So far I have a whopping four series. To be honest, I'm limiting it to series that I really like a lot, so that my wallet doesn't hurt too much.
And that's really it. Not much going on in Keba-land. I hope you all are well. If you want, you can let me know in the comments. >.< Dang, I sound like a YouTuber now. Or you could just make a World post. Whichever works best for you.
Hey, people! I'm back with another post. This particular post is just me kicking some ideas around as to how best to generate activity here on theO. My first thought was to do some kind of monthly discussion topic on the front page. Another was to make new users welcome by giving them some tips on how to best use theO. My final thought was about the "moderator World" that I was going to make. What do I call it? I'm open to suggestions....
P.S.: I guess my "Six Fanarts" was a bust since only four people gave suggestions. Oh well. I've been drawing other stuff, anyway, and I hope to post something soon.
I'm considering attempting the "Six Fanarts" challenge thing that's going around. Of course I'd keep the post strictly to theO, since I'm not very social with social media. So... should I do it?
Update: I've decided I'm gonna do it! Hopefully I can get six different people to help me out. Hit me with as many suggestions as possible. I don't care if your list is 20 characters. I actually want a lot to choose from. Even if someone has already suggested a character, you can suggest it too. Go on and list all your favorites!
