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.

Entering an Art Contest

OK, so I want to enter this contest. I even have a picture. The picture may or may not be done. What I mean by that is that I have no clue whether it's good enough. I thought it was winning material until I saw this one picture by someone roughly half my age who had madd skillz.

I realize there's only so much I can do right now as far as technique is concerned. I'd like a second opinion (and a third, and a fourth) as to what I could do better, but I don't know if I can actually make it better. At least not without scrapping a lot of my work.

Really, I don't know what I'm trying to say. I know I'm agonizing over this way too much. It's not like I'm super-invested with the contest. I know my chances of winning are slim. And even in the off chance that I win, what then? Do I lose the rights to my work? Will it end up in the hole that is DevantART, posted by 100 people that aren't me? Still, I want to enter, and I don't know why.
