Yess....muahahaahaahhh...>:D
I must really thank Chel the Bell for that picture...it made me so happy...I just love the way it looks...*.*
I'm also pretty happy because that website my brother told me about (I think he told me about) has LICENSED manga! *.* It has a bunch of manga that I have never read, but know is very popular, but I probably would have never read if it weren't for this site.
And it has BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL~! <333 *dies* And several other manga that I really love...here's is my new list of manga I'd like to read on that website:
Basara
Basilisk
Beck
BLAME!
Boys over Flowers
Alichino
Angel Sanctuary
Air Gear
Angel Sanctuary
Blade of the Immortal
Cantarella
Chobits
Chrono Crusade
Claymore
D.Gray Man

Gravitation
Gunslinger Girl

Hikaru no Go
Holyland
Homunculus

Soul Eater
Special A
Sanctuary
Shamo
The One
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Ubel Blatt
Vagabond
Vinland Saga
Zetman
Berserk
Some of those I've already read before, but I'd like to read more. Like Air Gear and Holyland. And Berserk is surprisingly way better than I thought. I thought it'd scare the crap out of me and give me nightmares, but something about Guts is just...comforting? Maybe that's why so many random people like him. Poor Guts is cursed with people liking him.
I have read it before but it was boring, I'm guessing because I didn't know what was going on. And has anybody noticed that Kentarou Miura never draws penises? I was freaking out on parts where Guts was naked 'cause I thought I'd see something, but nope, nothing at all...O.o; And then the part where Griffith rapes Caska...it's just like a hole is there. So Berserk isn't really as to read as Battle Royale...Battle Royale shows it all in a really creepy and ugly style...with people with really big eyes and mouths, but it's realistic which makes it worse...TT^TT
Blade of the Immortal is awesome, of course. Basilisk...I like it...but...the designs for the old people are really exaggerated...Liike they have really really wrinkly skin and that one guy has a gigantic chin, which I thought was some kind of bug stuck to his chin at first...O.o;
And...I'll probably buy Alichino...I have a feeling it'd be much better to read in book form...*.*
What's the website called? I...can't remember (don't think that's a very good thing). But I found it on google if you type in 'Berserk manga online read' it should be the first choice up there...it's liiike...Spectrum something...or something...
I'll go read some manga now...Hehehe...>:D...And not draw anything...'orz...I might draw something....I dunno...the day has yet to begin are there are many hours left.
*throws a waffle at your face*
...Now I want a waffle...TT^TT
'nyways...here's another gaia rant for ya.
I'm tired of people on picture post telling other people to 'look at realism' or 'stop drawing anime and draw realism' stop advertising freaking realism! And these are the kinds of people who DO NOT AT ALL DRAW MANGA...
Also...why do people keep calling MANGA anime? Anime...which obviously comes from animation is...ANIMATION...not a drawing. Now, drawings can be animated...I guess that could make them anime...but...no...let's not get into this.
Anyways, from what I was talking about above. The people who say that usually draw ugly (no offense, but I really hate the cartoony american realism...it's icky) elf drawings or whatever...Stop trying to make people like you.
Now, something that seem similar that they SHOULD be saying is that they should look at LIFE not go into realism. I was reading a how to draw manga book one time and they had something about asking what kind of tips such and such artist would give to people trying to improve in their art. They said something about how they should stop and look and life and learn how to draw from it. That doesn't mean draw realism. If you look at life, the curves of the face, etc, then you can get better and better and manga.
That's what I did. Now, I can also do realism...but that doesn't mean I learned from realism. I actually learned how to do realism from manga.
I wish people would stop sticking manga with certain properties. That they all have crazy hair that are coloured weird colours, have crazy anatomy (some do, but they do follow the anatomy laws anyways. Just because their neck is tiny and their head is pretty big, doesn't mean they're not proportional. Their limbs and etc. are correctly proportional to something so they at least look like a human being...), big eyes, big mouths (which makes no sense 'cause...well...has any person who says that anime characters have big mouths actually watched ANY ANIME? Mostly they have REALLY REALLY tiny mouths and only make big mouths because...it makes the appropriate expression...I feel like I'm making those expressions sometimes, but then I look in the mirror and it's really boring and not very expressive...O.o;), that they all look the same.
And here's some quotes from wikipedia (I don't care what you think about it, I think it's VERY reliable):
'Body proportions emulated in anime come from proportions of the human body. The height of the head is considered by the artist as the base unit of proportion. Head heights can vary as long as the remainder of the body remains proportional. Most anime characters are about seven to eight heads tall, and extreme heights are set around nine heads tall'
'Super-deformed characters feature a non-proportionally small body compared to the head'
'Tezuka found that large eyes style allowed his characters to show emotions distinctly'
'However, not all anime have large eyes. For example, some of the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Toshiro Kawamoto are known for having realistically proportioned eyes, as well as realistic hair colors on their characters.'
'While different titles and different artists have their own artistic styles, many stylistic elements have become so common that people[who?] describe them as definitive of anime in general. However, this does not mean that all modern anime share one strict, common art-style. Many anime have a very different art style from what would commonly be called "anime style", yet fans still use the word "anime" to refer to these titles. Generally, the most common form of anime drawings include "exaggerated physical features such as large eyes, big hair and elongated limbs... and dramatically shaped speech bubbles, speed lines and onomatopoeic, exclamatory typography."'
I also heard Kanon Wakeshima talking about drawings she has gotten from fans. She noticed that Japanese fans always had really cute drawings, while western fans always had really realistic drawings.
Y'know what, I want cute drawings...TT^TT I don't understand by people would look on on manga...I mean, I personally believe that realism is a piece of cake, but manga is the hard stuff. It could take you liike 5 years to probably master realism, but probably 12 to master manga...or something...maybe less...I dunno...It's all because manga has to do with exaggeration and style, it's hard to get a style when you draw mostly realism.
And that's the end of my rant.
Also, I'd like to apologize to anybody on here that I may have given a somewhat rude comment to or may have hurt somebody's feelings by saying something. I'm very sorry for doing so, and I was acting on impulse and didn't really think about what I said. I have been acting strangely lately...I don't know what it is...but I've been having more and more regrets that I have had in the past.
Maybe it's manga/TV/cat problems...since we cancelled the plan on our living room TV (the main source of my TV watching, we still have 2 other TVs, though), and I don't think I an get on mangafox 'cause it keeps giving me viruses...>3> It's withdrawal...TT^TT
However, my brother has just told me a site to read Berserk (at least I think he did) so I'll see if I can read that there...at least...>3> And then once Christmas is over I can start buying stuff! >:D
Hold It!!
...I just found out that you can buy Phoenix Wright on the wii..."orz
So I asked my mom for that game for nothing...but y'know what, I like playing them on the DS better because I feel like I'm alone so I can think better...
I'll probably just buy the first one on the wii.
I want Apollo Justice now...TT^TT I like the designs for the characters in that game and it seems like there's so much story 'n stuff smooshed into it. And we have Ema Skye as our investigative...crap...what are they called....O.o; Well, she replaces Dick Gumshoe...which I'm fine with 'cause all he does is whine and yell and blehh...but I heard she does mostly the same thing! XD At least I could take her more seriously because Dick Gumshoe always looks like he's going to say some joke...Ema Skye looks like she's SERIOUS.
I read all of the cases for the first game, though...XD They were so exciting! *.* But I think they'd be more interesting if I played it...XD
I just LOOOVE Phoenix Wright~! <333
Actually...most games I get really obsessed with...for instance, Harvest Moon, Fire Emblem, Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, King of Fighters, Pokemon...and many other games that I can't think of right now. I guess that means it's a good game...XD
They need to release some freaking visual novels in America! >:0 Who cares if some of has ecchi or whatever? Those are the kind of games I LOVE TO DEATH...I've played games online that are liiike...flash fan versions of them...
And if they have bad stuff or whatever in them then give it a high rating or something, just PLEASE RELEASE THEM! TT^TT
Who's stopping them from entering into the US?...*shakes fist*...
Well...I'll go do something...after some rants...
I still don't think I can draw today. It's usually that I want to draw a picture of Rei Ayanami or some fanart, but I don't know what pose to draw them in and all the poses I've tried I've failed at...>.>
Uggg...I can't draw..."orz
I haven't been able to draw ever since that Kyung-Soon picture...TT^TT
Bahhh...I guess I'll go play some video games...maybe that'll do something...once I get bored of video games then I can start drawing again...maybe...O.o;
I also used watercolours for the first time yesterday....O.o; I don't get it..."orz
Dream5
Ohhh, it's too cute~! And it's strange for me to say that about children, but they have such happy faces! And the one with the short hair...I really wonder if that is a boy or a girl...O.o; You can't tell. It could most certainly be a boy. But I wonder why they'd have a bunch of girls and one boy in the group...O.o;
And Shuta and Hidaka are dancing with them, too~! X3 Makes me like this video even more...XD
Here's another one of them:
...They're REALLY good...O.O Better than most older dancers...and better than the people in H!P. I think H!P needs to get different choreographers because on person can't choreograph liiike 100 different songs creatively...O.o; They don't need to get rid of her, just get other ones to choreography different dances and still have her as liiike the chief choreographer or something.
Sorry, off topic there. But, seriously, this girls amaze me. I wonder if they're liiike avex school prodigies or something...As if they went to that school since they were little or something...I really wonder...because they're just really amazing.
Kinda like w-inds except a girl version....and there's more of them...XD
