...Collide.
Please check out my two new Worlds, "CD Collection" and "Wanted!" The former is in the construction stage, and the latter is mostly set up. I hope they take off.
I still have space for three more Worlds, and I have no idea what I'm going to do with that. I want to make some fan shrines, but I'm afraid they'd be neglected.
I highly doubt you've read this crazy post that I made nearly three years ago. Once you click the link and read it, come back and read the rest of this.
After some thought, I've decided that I want to delete my half-registered MAL account. I want to delete it so that it can free up my username (KebaFox) in case anyone in cyberspace wants to claim it. The problem is that I don't know how to delete it. After all, there is no possible way for me to log in. I know a bunch of you (somehow) have MAL accounts, so could I have one brave volunteer step up and ask the admin type people there to delete it? If you could help me, I'd be grateful. And I'll give you a gift.
Now it's time for a shameless plug!
If by chance you don't have a My Anime List account, and have an Anime-Planet one instead, I'd like to connect with you. My username there is also KebaFox. If you don't have either, I recommend you join Anime-Planet for a multitude of reasons. At the very least, they've got a great admin who actually responds in a timely manner if you have a problem to report.
I didn't draw my sketch yesterday. Oops. I'd better make up for lost time and do two today.
I guess my excuse is that I was working on my very overdue Secret Santa. At least that's done.
Hopefully, I'll have everything up by Sunday or Monday.
Oh, and I'd also like some more feedback on my previous post if possible.
Edit: It's after midnight and I haven't drawn anything for the past 24 hours. So now I'm two days behind. I'm starting to wonder if I should downgrade....
Click and scroll down. Does one of these things look familiar? I'm famous! Almost.
In other news, I'm actually keeping up with my end of the Sketch Marathon. I just haven't scanned or posted anything. I'm almost at the halfway point with the first anime series that I'm sketching characters from. I'm still trying to decide which series to do next. (Note: I'm adding spoiler tags in case anyone wants to be surprised as to what I pick.) Basically, my next pick is between Death Note and Gurren Lagann.
I'm thinking that when I get each series done, I might make a series group picture. That's going to be separate from the Sketch Marathon. I'd just import the sketches into Manga Studio and mess around with them. Just a thought.
Oh! And I'm almost done with my Secret Santa. I just need to add another layer or two of color and it'll be ready to scan. Way to go, Keba. You're two weeks late. But at least it's turning out pretty nice. That is, except for the bottom of the page where it's a bit wrinkled. It was really hot in my apartment last night, and the sweat from my palms was getting on the paper. Hope that wasn't too much information.
There's also this Challenge I want to enter. Even if I don't make it in time, I still want to draw my idea. ♪
On a completely different subject, I got a trial subscription to Hulu Plus. Big deal. They still have commercials. I'm canceling once my trial period runs out.
Speaking of anime, I haven't started anything new. I'm aiming to wrap up a series or three before I pick up a new one. Believe me, I need to. I have eight different series that I'm in the middle of watching. And that's not counting the ones that I've put on hold. (No, I'm not watching them on eight different screens. That would require more multitasking than I can manage... plus seven more screens than I actually have.)
Ahem. Moving on...
Some KAAMP topics I want to write about in the coming year:
- Guilty pleasures and feeling shame
- Series that I want to like more than I actually do
- Series that I've avoided and why
- How obscure can you get?
- Opinions on specific series (any requests?)
I was also kicking around the idea of posting my thoughts on slash and the like, but that could open a big can of worms. And by big, I mean that I could be criticized by both sides of the political aisle.
I'm also thinking about putting up my "help wanted" World mid-month. The question is, what do I call it? I want a catchy name. I was thinking "Artist 2 Artist", "theO's Most Wanted", or something involving the words "bulletin" or "collaboration". Maybe it could be a combination of any of those things. Any thoughts on the matter?
This post has absolutely nothing to do with the Linkin Park album of the same title. *Shot.*
Well, it's 11:40 pm in my area, and I've got nothing to do, so I might as well make one of those resolution type post things. Maybe it'll be 2015 by the time I'm done. On we go.
1. Lead the 2015 Sketch Marathon. I'm the only one drawing every day. I must be nuts.
2. Watch MOAR ANIME. Dumbest. Resolution. Ever. At least it's the dumbest one I've made.
3. Host a Challenge. Hopefully, it'll take me less than half a year to draw prizes for everyone.
4. Do that Characters and Poems thing. I hope KyraChan is still hosting that.
5. Look into selling my art. That means making some high-res digital images and knitting lots of toys.
6. Record an album. While this isn't directly related to theO, maybe I can host a Challenge and give some tracks away as a prize.
7. Go back to Anime Central. But first I gotta buy a new wristband. I still haven't found it. And I had a dream about it. All this over a little possession. I'm getting off track.
8. Make more Worlds. I know I've said this forever. A "help wanted" World, a music review World and a stash of my really old drawings (that might be older than some of you) are a few thoughts I've been kicking around.
9. Write more. This past year, I wrote half a chapter of Destination and half a chapter of The Rebels of Planet Aadau. Let's hope I'm more productive in the year ahead. I also have to type up this one short story that I wrote by hand a few years ago and post it.
Also, to my Secret Santa recipient, you don't know who I am, but I'm working on your present and I'm close to being done.
Darn, I typed all that and it's not even 2015 yet. Now I gotta figure out what to do with the last two minutes of the year....
Happy new year, everyone!
