Almost done...kinda...TT^TT

I just have to colour the four pictures, re-do my pokemon picture (yes, I actually did one...I just don't like any of the designs I did for my gijinka except for meh Swellow...>.>), do one more christmas picture, and fix and finish my Klan and Reese picture.

I think I can do most of it tomorrow if I don't slack off like I did today.

Haha...my ninjask gijinka looks like Kamen Rider! XD I wonder if Ninjask was based off of Kamen Rider or that was just a coincidence. If you lay out Ninjask's design exactly as a human you basically get him...XD

I just remembered that I was going to work on manga over the break. Well, guess I can't really do that anymore...>.> Unless I become un-busy, but there are lots of things I want to do and the last week out my vacation I have to go to Virginia and I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GO. I've been liike 5 times this year. I've had enough...TT^TT

And it depends on what I'll get for Christmas of what manga I'll work on. I have a short one shot victorian manga I should be working on. I need to do some studying on the clothing and architecture and what-not 'cause I want this to be really detailed and pretty good quality. I'll try to get a few pages...I have some manga paper that I'll try to use, too...but I guess the number of pages has to do with how many sheets of that I have. I'll probably do it on normal paper, though, 'cause that paper won't fit in my scanner, sadly...I don't know how else I'd do it...>.> Take a picture maybe...I dunno...

But the manga paper is such good quality...TT^TT Actually, I think I've fit it in before. Oh, yeah, the pages of Hoshiji were on that paper (omigoooshhh...waste of paper...TT^TT). I just did sketches on really good paper when I was younger...so sad...I'll have to ask my mom for more of that stuff for my birthday which is magically one day and one month after Christmas~! :D

Well...I'll stop myself here and give you some pretty pictures to look at.

I really like this picture! *.* It's from Sound Horizon...I forget which album...I always get confused with the albums, however, I know exactly which one is Moira! XD

External Image

From Stella Deus...I like it...it's...just really pretty...pretteh sky...*.*

External Image

From Odin Sphere. It's liike the only picture from Odin Sphere I actually like. I see pictures like this at lot, but I think this is the best one I've seen.

External Image

CASTLEVANIA! *.* If only I was good at that game..."orz I'm bad at every game except for some strategy or RPG games...kinda...I just freak out when I get into action and my hands start twitching.

External Image

And some more Castlevania. Only 'cause it has some GORGEOUS art by Miss Ayami Kojima~!

External Image

Sorry, it's not particularly mind blowing and pretty, but I like the designs. It's a very fun game, go play it!

External Image

And I want this game! *.* Look at those lovely designs. The only thing I don't like is Apollo...go away Apollo...>3> Bring back Phoenix! TT^TT I like that the prosecutor used to be a rockstar. Now I'll be more charmed. Something about Edgeworth made it look like he was an old guy...But he's actually not that old...O.o; I just don't really like the art. It's like with Ash. Only certain artists can really create the beauty of Ash.

External Image

Pretteh fire! *.* And pretteh Ash. Just 'cause I was talking about Ash I did this...XD This artist and Nona are one of the only people who can draw Ash correctly. And yes, there's a correct way. His sprite should match the art and he looks a certain way as a sprite.

External Image

More Ash-y...and some other people who don't care about...XD Just kidding, I love Kyo...and who is that...Iori?

External Image

Moar KoF~! :D I love any picture of K' with his glassarz on! I really like this picture 'cause of the perspective.

Okay, now I'ma gonna go..a...XD

Does this not sound like a detective mystery song?

Or something from Death Note or something. It always reminds me of a murder mysery or something...O.o;

Sorry...XD Just sharing it 'cause it's an awesome song that...came up when I put my music files on random. I kinda forgot whose it was, but I'll never forget that voice! XD

The video is kinda creepy...(I'm watching it...and...am rather creeped out...O.o;)

...Now I'm listening to Death Note...but the strangest part is that...ALL OF IT REMINDS ME OF PHOENIX WRIGHT! WHYYY!? ...O.o; Gosh, I think I'd want to buy the OST for Death Note, all of it is really awesome.

Heh...I listen to this kind of music and then I say that the music my parents like is creepy...XD Some of the music I listen to I find creepy, but that's the fun part. Like Kagome Kagome (or is Kakome Kakome...O.o;). Just one song I can't listen to with freaking out and almost crying is 'Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness'. It's too creepy! From the moment the song starts! TT^TT

Also Death Note music reminds me of a modern kind of murder mystery, so it makes me feel good...and still reminds me of Phoenix Wright...GUUHHH..."orz

Come back pretty song...TT^TT

I was listening to my music on random and I finally got Susumu Hirasawa's Forces and then it ended...TT^TT But luckily it's not a radio...:D So I'm listening to it right now...XD

And these are my current feelings:

I'm tired...TT^TT I just drew 4 pictures that I need to ink and colour and then post. Then I have the other two I want to draw...and then my mom made me clean my room. And my mom washed my blanket...but I had already made my bed without it (and it goes in the middle) and I didn't feel like putting it back in there so now I'm bundling up with it 'cause it's warm...X3

Well...I'm glad I have 4 pictures done...I just fear the colouring and inking part...I'll do that today, too and then colour them maybe tomorrow...I dunno.

I've been playing Pokemon again~! X3 I'm VERY close to my pokemon right now...I feel bad when I don't let some of them battle...which I should...at least I use the EXP. Share thing...

I also got another badge! >:D But now I'm looking for Team Magma's hideout....and...I have no clue where that is. I know where Team Aqua's is though...but I think only my brother would know where Team Magma's is...I'll look it up.

The pokemon I use the most and am closest to are the following:

Pokami the Shiny Mighteyena
Ignez the Gardevoir (this...this makes no sense...HE evolved into a gardevoir...I thought that was female only...then again...it's Emerald...I'm just going to think of him as a drag queen or something...XD)
Nerei the Swellow
Fiore the Blaziken

And then there are a few that I interchange...It seems that everytime I do the team kind of battle I always have Pokami and Nerei paired and Ignez and Fiore...

I wanna draw gijinka versions of them...*.* I love them that much! XD

There are some others that I have that I move around if I want to do certain things like cutting something or surfing or something...And I'll list them, too~! XD

(I can't remember his name) the Ninjask (I actually use him a lot, too...but for some reason I can't remember his name...O.o;)
Piplid the Lotad (...I don't like Lotads...>.> I don't really like this one, but it has surf.)
Static the Electrike (I named him Static like Static Shock...but every time I see him I think 'Hey it's Sparky--I mean Static!'...I dunno why I want to call him Sparky...O.o;)
Minn the Minun (I wanted a Plusle to pair with him...but I can't find a freaking Plusle! TT^TT)
Chameleon the Kecleon

I think that's it...I don't really want to draw those guys...I haven't really imagined them as gijinka yet...O.o;

Nerei is one of my only female pokemon....O.o; That's kinda said. It's mostly because I wasn't very picky about what pokemon I wanted...before I would only get female pokemon! XD Unless they don't look like girls at all...O.o;

...Umm...what was I talking about again? 'nyways I'm busy-ish...I wanna take a break and play pokemon now...XD

Bahh...

I didn't get accepted into this one foreign exchange program. But y'know what, I had my suspicions behind that and I didn't think I'd get accepted. First of all, there were a bunch of people probably applying to that and my essays were pieces of crap. Second, the way the application was...it sounded like I had to be ethnic and even the picture of people who went one year...none of them looked like me...like a completely white kid, they were all hispanic or some part asian, or something...

And I just heard about it by chance, so I was never really having my heart set on it...so I'm okay with not going. And there are other programs I can get into and I could probably apply for this again after getting some experience of what I was doing.

Though I wish they'd give us scores or something. I like seeing where I am...>3>

But then I just remembered that I have to apply for this art school thing, too...TT^TT I don't wanna do it...but my mom says it's really important. But I don't like it...these are liiike the anime haters...>3> I doubt I'd get in with my art. They seem like they want the same kind of boring art.

I'm tired of realism, and sculptures, and what-not. It seems like some people are very stubborn with art. It has to look a certain way to be art.

What bothers me is that the guy who was supposed to give us tips told me to PUT IN A BACKGROUND. I HATE BACKGROUNDS. In fact, my favourite pictures don't even have backgrounds in them. My favourite kind of photographs don't have backgrounds in them...well...maybe some shading for walls or whatever...but it's pretty backgroundless...I guess he meant to create a fuller composition, but I have a big problem with that.

It seems like almost all my pictures have a full body in it...>3> I can't figure out how to get out of the habit. I get really nervous when doing just faces 'cause I have no clue what I want to do with them...>3>

Oh, by the way, have any of you guys read Noblesse? Have I talked about this before? I also highly recommend that manhwa. It's in full colour and the art is AMAZING. And the comedy is...so hilarious...it hurts...But I feel bad for the main character..TT^TT He keeps misunderstanding the world's most simplest things like how to open a door...Which, I wouldn't know either..but still...XD It was one of those door things where you have to press a button and there are bunch of different buttons that mean different things.

The fact that it's always so serious and there is very high tension, and then it turns out to be nothing is HILARIOUS! XD That's the main kind of comedy in this...and it hits you every time 'cause it seems like most of the time they're being serious...but sometimes it ends up being hilarious.

I'm trying to work on some presents for people. I want to also do two christmas pictures. One neutral one, and one with my characters Klan and Reese. Though, both of them don't have very significant designs.

Klan's just some guy with visual-kei-ish brown hair and wears tight shirts. And Reese is some guy with long, soft hair who wears expensive clothing ('cause he's rich). And they're best friends~! X3 And Reese is in love with Klan. And by in love I mean IN LOVE...not a simple crush. Klan is Reese's world. That's how he bases everything. He believes it's him and Klan against the rest of the world, though Klan is just a social butterfly who just happens to be good friends with somebody really anti-social, who is Reese. I love them as a pair. Original I thought them up 'cause I had...I guess it was a day dream about how Klan was calling somebody because he saw too cute girls at the mall (who are some of my other OCs, the best friends Mikii and Mini) so he tried to get a double date with them and Reese, but Reese thought it was a date with him and Klan so he was very excited until he realized what was really going on so he was very embarrassed.

I doubt I'll ever write something where that actually happens...it's just how I came up with Reese.

Reese is a richy rich kid who actually likes being confined, he likes learning and everything. He used to have private teachers, but his parents thought he was becoming to anti-social (and they thought right) so they sent him to a regular public school and he's outraged that the teachers are terrible compared to his private teachers (well, his private teachers were some of the greatest teachers in the world...see...he's the rich...XD). And somewhere down the line he met Klan who seemed to share kind of the same idea about education. The both hated public school and dropped out (O.O) because they didn't think the quality was there at all, and they didn't like the other students who didn't want to learn anything.

Klan's just a social guy, though. I doesn't like learning with other people who don't think learning is 'cool' or important, but he's probably friends with some of those kids! XD Klan is also into fashion...which has nothing to do with anything...but that's what I base him around. He's the fashion guy...O.o; Like how Poe's the witch...'orz And Reese is the rich boy, Mikii the outgoing best friend and Mini is the more conserved best friend, Abyss is the weird guy (that's all I got'ta say), and Rikan's the other anti-social who wears a fox mask...XD

Rikan is a character I rarely talk about...but I think I've said something about him....O.o; I haven't put much thought into him. He likes comedy a LOT and hates people who aren't comedic...O.o; Something like that...

I also don't talk about Mikii and Mini that much either. They're kinda like Luki and Noki from DOGS, but they're best friends, don't look alike, and actually disagree on somethings.

And, no, I don't think I've spoiled anything. The story I'm planning doesn't revolve around the life or Reese and Klan or anything. Klan'll probably be the main character, but his past is almost meaningless. It's just one of those things you'd like to know about a character like their name or age or something.

I need to think some of these characters through and come up with a good character sheet for each...hrmm...

I have so much stuff to do...>3> I'm a terrible procrastinator..."orz

Also, I think I hurt my mom's feelings because I told her I hate where I live, and she wanted to move here, so she probably thinks it's her fault, but it's not her fault or anything. I guess it's an okay experience, and I did like El Paso better, but I'm kinda glad we moved because look at El Paso now...not a nice place to live...way more crime than there was before. And I just can't ever like where I live because it's everything I hate. But my mom really likes it here...and I can understand that she wants to live out in the country and anything. I don't mean to offend her by saying I hate it here, but that's my true and honest opinion. I do. And I'll never love this place.

In fact, I've been having several nightmares about this place and almost feared for my life last night (of course, I was reading lots of berserk...and then I felt something wet under my feet before I went to bed...which was probably just my mind playing tricks on me...but I wouldn't be surprised if there really was a psycho under my bed...that's what I expect from the south).

There should be a name for the fear of living in the south. I have a phobia of it. I think it's all because of The Green Mile and the news. There's is pretty high crime and lots of weirdo stuff going on. I guess in the city there'd be high crime 'cause there's lots of people. I would be very surprised if there wasn't. But there aren't that many people in Southern cities as there are in big cities and it still has high crime...not that I live in a city...I live in a very very small town and there is still high-ish crime. I had never seen so much stuff about drugs until I lived here.

I guess this place made me grow up...but I didn't want to grow up...but I'm just being stubborn...Still...I think I'd feel better if I hadn't gone to people's houses or looked around...>.> It freaks me out.

Hahaha...XD Omigosh...sorry...yet another really long post...I just got caught up in the mood.

Highly, Highly, Highly Recommend...

The following manga titles! However, I must tell you, that...well...most of these are seinen and have lots of sex and gore and require your full attention and what-not. So some of you may not like it (if I ever buy any of these and bring it to school and some of my friends see it and ask if they can read it...I'd have to warn them...O.o; Most of them just read shoujo, vampire knight, or whatever...and they think that Hellsing is inappropriate...O.o; 'tis nothing compared to some of these titles):

Blade of the Immortal - This one...I already loved the artist and had been dying to read it...and I was not at all disappointed! *.* It's basically a samurai manga, so it's pretty violent (I can't remember if it was very sexual...O.o; I was reading Berserk at the same time...sooo...couldn't really point out the bad parts). I'll just say it's not as bad as Berserk, so don't worry about that! XD It's about this guy who can't die...who's a samurai...so he kills the real baddies instead of the people who are probably good guys that he had been killing.

Monster - I didn't like it at first...but once I got past the first 2 chapters I suddenly found myself finishing the first volume...O.o; The first 2 chapters are kinda boring...but then it starts heating up...*.* You also have to pay attention 'cause there is a LOT of text to read, but you'll get used to it (I'm just telling you the problems I faced as to why I did not read through it the first time I read a couple of pages).

Pluto - ...it started out...kinda...I guess cheesy....I dunno...but I didn't like it, and then it suddenly started getting ridiculously good. (By the way, I haven't finished any of these...they're very long...and that'd take me weeks probably....XD) It's also not that violent...same for Monster...I mean, it's not over the top slicing in half bodies kind of thing like the other ones I've listed...XD

Vagabond - I-I think I like this more than Blade of the Immortal...*.* It's AWESOME! HOLY CRAP!! *falls out of chair* But I like samurai manga, sooo...It has really realistic art (they actually look like different people and they actually look Japanese! Don't you guys find it that when you're reading certain manga when they bring in foreigners they all look the same...O.o; ). This one has some sex in it...like...you see it...but you can get over it, can't you? And it's pretteh violent, though...not as violent as Blade of the Immortal or Berserk...or any of the other action seinen manga I've been reading...O.o;

Berserk - Of course~! Berserk! It's fun 'cause it's magical, creepy, dark, and a whole bunch of other things. I've been wanting to read it all day long...It's pretty violent and disturbing though...so beware of that...I might also give you nightmares...but it hasn't given me anything yet (I'm so proud of myself...XD)...Most of the other characters besides the mainies are really freaking creepy...so...I take shelter in the main characters...like if there's a really creepy part I'm waiting for Guts or somebody to kill them and save the day..."orz

Yeahhh...I'm not in a shoujo manga mood..soooo...

And now I understand why some of these are known to be so good 'cause they really are REALLY good.

I didn't put Basilisk on here...'cause it creeped me out more than wowed me...and I don't really have an urge to continue reading it at the moment...

I might come back to you guys with some more manga recommendations...gosh...this website has REALLY good manga on it...O.o;

The website is called Spectrum Nexus in case you're wondering. It doesn't have a large selection, but most of them are all ridiculously good and very good quality. And if you're like me who...never stays in loop with anything (except some music...'orz) then that website could do you some good. Though it has mostly seinen manga (I've noticed).
