Hey gang, long time no post. To tell the truth, I haven't been up to a whole lot. I'm picking away at a WIP, but that's mostly just been frustrating to me. So, it's been pretty quiet on the drawing front. I hope the SS changes that (I'll get my wish list up really soon, I promise).
What I have been doing is watching a lot of anime. I'm trying to keep on top of all the popular stuff, which, believe it or not, is stressful. New seasons of My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100, Spy x Family, and To Your Eternity are all out this season, and I've only just begun watching most of those. Once I finish the first seasons of "Mob" and "Eternity", I might put them on pause. Because right now, I'm watching 12 shows on-and-off simultaneously.
I honestly don't know how people do it. There are so many new shows I want to try, but there are also old ones I haven't gotten around to. I try to keep my want-to-watch list under 60, but I'm currently failing at that. At least I cut it down from 72.
Anyway, I'd better get back to the anime-watching grind. Or not. When it's a grind, that's not exactly a good thing.
...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.
Just wanted to tell you guys that I've been out of the hospital for about a week. Things are going about as well as they can: my pain has been manageable and my strength is returning. The only things wrong are (a) I can't eat solid food for a few weeks, (b) I still can't drive, and (c) I feel kind of isolated and lonely because I haven't been able to go out much. At least I don't have to worry about physical therapy anymore.
I checked out a bunch of anime DVDs from my library's network, thinking I'd watch them in the hospital, but I didn't get to. I've been killing time with them post-discharge, though. (Elricz, if you're reading this, I haven't gotten to Blue Exorcist just yet. It's my first priority after I return those DVDs.)
One thing I'm very glad of is that I finally finished my demos! I haven't forgotten about the Challenge that I hosted prematurely in which the prize was my music that I hadn't finished recording. Now I can say that the rough demos are complete. So to the winners-- Lena, Usa (who I haven't seen around in FOREVER), and Judai-- would you like the demos or would you be willing to hold out for something more polished? Or would you like both?
The final thing I'd like to mention is that my 10-year Otakuversary is coming up in a few months. I want to draw a picture to celebrate, but I have no idea what it should be. Thoughts?
As I mentioned in my previous post, I'll be going in for surgery in about two weeks. I'm looking to fill my time with anime and music while I recover.
First, let's talk anime. My main sources are Crunchyroll and Hulu. I'm also leeching off of my parents' Amazon Prime. Shh.... I do have a bunch of series queued up, but I don't know what to go with first. So if you suggest something that I'm already planning to watch, that's totally fine. I'll just move it up on my list.
In regards to music, I don't really care what you recommend, as long as it's not religious and/or country. Also, since I'll have a lot of downtime, I was wondering if you guys wanted me to start a new music World (click here for details). Depending on how good I feel, I just might.
Yeah, real clever title, I know.
The Anime:
So, I was hanging out with some people and we previewed a couple anime series. The first was One-Punch Man, which I had been wanting to see. Now that I get the set-up, I hope it's not going to be a one-note sort of anime.
The second series I previewed was The Devil Is a Part-Timer. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, since I didn't know much about it. Turned out that it's really funny. I think I might want to watch more.
The Art:
I actually completed a drawing! Well, what do ya know? I still have it in me.
Since I'm in such a drawing mood right now, I was thinking about OCtober. I'm a bit hesitant because (a) I don't have enough OCs and (b) I might fall behind. I mean, I have a lot of time on my hands now, but who knows when that'll change?
Another thing I'm debating about is art trades. I'd like to do some, but those can have so many variables to them.
So... thoughts?
