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.

Filled with Inspiration

I'm filled with a lot of inspiration right now, but I have no idea what to do with it. I know I have to work on my 4-koma panel, and it's already underway. I'm also trying to finish up some drawings that I started over a year ago, but I might not post them right away due to Survival Instincts spoilers.

Other than that, I don't know what to do. I'd do some art trades, but I'm going to have to start drawing prizes for the Challenge I'm hosting, since it's ending in two days. So I'll have to postpone trading.

I want to do something "big" with my art-- something more than fill a 9" x 12" piece of paper. I just have no idea what that would be. I'm almost afraid to think about it. I dream big, but when it comes time to do something, I don't know where to begin. I get intimidated by my ideas.

For example, I want to make this fan manga, but I don't know what to do first. Script? Concept sketches? How do I even do that stuff?

I also realize that when I try to get ideas out quickly and put them on paper, they look kind of bad. Like my ACen comic. Which I'm still struggling with. So if you're wondering why I churn out artwork so slowly, that's why. I really want to be quick and good like some of you. Heck, I just want to beat out those base-defacers that have been occupying the leader boards with their Mary Sue junk. Yeah, I keep saying "I want" but I never do anything about it. I don't even know what to do.

But enough ranting. I'm not in as much of a bad mood as that previous paragraph might make you think. I just want to learn to focus more. I have a lot of time on my hands, and I need to harness that. Either I'm bored although I have things to do, or inspired without ideas. I just don't want that inspiration to go to waste.
