Gehhh...Practice...@.@

I've been practicing and practicing colouring, but I keep doing the same things...So I'm thinking I'll practice something else until I get a colouring awakening...But it's not working! TT^TT Though I realized I don't have to shade the face THAT much like I usually do...

Now I'm gonna go onto a NEW thing to practice, one that I don't think I really payed much attention to...DRAWING MEN! I'm tired of drawing girly men. It's not that I dont' like them, it's just some of my characters are manry men and my style just makes them look so...girly...and it looks terrible. So I have to practice men and muscles.

Men are actually fun to draw...More so than girls, in my opinion. They're straighter and not so voluptuous and you can do so much to them and they'll still look like a boy...at least in my eyes. Men with muscles are really fun to draw...BUUUUT if they have HUGE muscles like a lot of fighting game characters (DARN YOU BENIMARU! I WANT TO DRAW YOU...BUT YOU'RE MUSCLES OR TOO BIG...) then it's REALLY annoying to draw...Because my outlines for people's bodies are for very thin people, not very fat or very muscular people...Though I think all I have to do is add bigger circles....but it's still really confusing for me to draw...which I should work on...

But I'm starting with working on men. Because I need more male characters and I like most male characters, so why do I not have a ton of male characters and mostly draw men? I don't know why...O.o

My goal/problem:

BENIMARU!! DARN YOU!!

Oi, his hair looks like Jedward's:

I just find that funny...XD

I wonder what Benimaru looks like with his hair down...? I seem to like King of Fighter's girly men. Plus Ash is my very favourite character of all time and look at him:

Why is this? I don't get it...O.o Anyways, I still love Ash! <333

Mm'kay...TOMORROW....I will practice some men...It's like midnight right now...why would I start it right now?

Oh! Before I go! I just wanna show you the bands I can't seem to stop listening to.

First off is Tokyo Jihen:

All their songs remind me of a cafe...or that kind of atmosphere in a city. I really like that feeling.

Then 9mm Parabellum Bullet:

So awesome! Their music reminds me of...black and white checkers, which reminds me of Alice in Wonderland...so I really like it! ^ ^

And Geinoh Yamashirogumi, the composer for the Akira songs:

Seriously...they're awesome...O.O They don't remind me of anything, but they give me sooo much inspiration....

And Kagrra:

I dunno if I've already told you guys about these people that I've showed you. But I know I've told you that I've been listening to Kagrra...Yami ni Chirikeri is one of my favourites only because wheneve they sing 'Yami ni Chirikeri' it makes me smile....XD I don't know why...XD It doesn't sound weird or anything, it sounds good to my ears...

Well, now I'm gonna go ta bed! ^ ^

E3!!!

Actually, I only watched Nintendo's Conference...It's the only company I like (but I do like SNK, Konami, and Capcom, and some other comapanies, but I don't expect anything from them...unless Konami is doing another Goemon...).

Anyways! I was sooo happy and pleased by it! ^ ^ But the G4 guys...were...IDIOTS...What the heck do they know about videogames? They were just going on and on about the history of zelda and stuff and then they said that hopefully this new Zelda game won't be a disappointment...liiiike...Wind Waker was...O.o WHAT!? I thought Twilight Princess was the disappointment, which we KNOW was a disappointment. Wind Waker was/is awesome and there are very few problems with it. Apparently the disappoint is that you play as kid Link and it's so simplified...

Err...this is where you CARE ABOUT THE ACTUAL GAME! Plus I REALLY loved the cell shading, the graphics in that game is what made the game even better. I really don't like this trying to be realistic 3D graphics and it just looks so..3D and ugly, I'd rather have a really simplified looking game. It just makes it look cleaner and better. Anyways, the new Zelda game is CELL SHADED!! YAAAYY!! I was just talking about cell shading with my brother. I was telling him how I really liked the way Wind Waker looked with the clean cell shading (not too big about the style or the character designs) and that more games should have cell shading, just with Twilight Princess styled designs or something. WHICH THE NEW ONE HAS! ^ ^

YAAYYY! But my only problem with the new game is that...well, they didn't really show that much, and in the trailer it didn't really have very different looking places. But Miyamoto said they're still in the process of working on it some more so it won't be released until next year...So that might mean the places they showed in the trailers are not ALL of the places. I like my adventure games to have LOTS and LOTS of places.

Oh wow, I just looked up and in the house across the street there's some guy fixing the air conditioner at that house and his butt crack is showing...I thought that was only with plumbers...I don't see how you can't feel the coldness down there....O.o

And the new 3DS...REVOLUTIONARY! But a lot of stuff has been on the news about E3, but no 3DS talk...Do they not see how important it is to...well the entertainment industry in general? In today's world we're getting more and more into 3D movies, games, and that means that there needs to be better ways of seeing 3D. The biggest problem I have with 3D are the glasses. They make me feel really dizzy and sick because I can see around them, and the screen or whatever is blurry while the center is clear. I have to have my ENTIRE world clear.

When I was watching Avatar I couldn't see like 30 minutes of the movie because my eyes started messing up or something and all I could see was white...So I really hate glasses because I don't want to go through all of that irritation to my eyes...If I always watched 3D stuff...I probably would have to go to the hospital, or get brain damage or something. 3D takes too much out of me, and it's all because of the glasses (I don't wear glasses, I have perfect vision, so seeing blurry things really gives me headaches) and I trust it's the same with TONS of people, even people who wear glasses.

So having something that is already 3D without 3D glasses...is just....I just can't figure it out...Does it have like a lense over it that would be on the glasses but it's over the screen? That's what I think they did. I want one soooo badly now! I just want to see what it's like. I can't imagine!! TT^TT

And because of that then we can have movie screens with 3D movies that don't require glasses, and then after that better, clearer holograms...Don't news stations realize how amazing this is!? It's REALLY important for future technology. So why no reporting? Sure, they'd report about the new Michael Jackson video game, but no 3DS? Maybe they're just really slow at getting the news or something...

Gehhh....

CNN...

How I greatly dislike you and your 'reporters'. Of course, I like some of their reporters, some of them are good, but the ones that aren't in prime time...are EVIL...I wish somebody would just shove them in a hole! >:( Because they were reporting on something that had to do with Touhou, y'know Bad Apple, that video? They were reporting about how amazing it was...buuut...They said it was really creepy and I don't see how anybody could like this. Uhh, do you not realize what kind of people there are in the world. PEOPLE WHO LIKE GOOD ANIMATION! Stupid CNN. And they keep on reporting on videos or something that has to do with anime, video games, or Japanese culture, but they either insult it or report about the most unimportant thing that nobody really cares about and some how makes it important.

Really, CNN needs to get better as a news station. Fire all the people who don't know how to report right. I don't care about how they need to earn money for their family, you do not disrespect people's culture. In fact, nobody should. Politicians should be fired for being racist or have any controversial speeches or anything. The thing I hate the most is disrespect for other cultures. Tolerance people, we need more tolerance.

Sorry for that rant...but some news stations jut get on nerves...>.>

Can't come up with a picture to draw for colouring practice...TT^TT Ehhh....I'll have to come up with something...

Woah, there!

I almost posted/wrote an Alice in Wonderland story....or fanfic...But I deleted it before I finished it because I didn't like it...

It was about one of Alice's cats that didn't turn into something in Through the Looking Glass somehow got into Wonderland and was searching for Alice when she realized that Alice wasn't in Wonderland, she couldn't go back to Wonderland, either, and so Alice's cat as alone. But was soon to become the Alice that everyone is familiar with. The Alice who everyone worships.

Yeahh, I've read a TON of manga and other stories based off of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I've noticed a trend. A lot of it has to do with the most important character being Alice, or Alice being the most important person in Wonderland and that everyone bows down to her and what-not. Well, she was never worshiped or anything like that. She was more of a nuisance or a new friend or just somebody who was there in Wonderland to the other characters. I don't even think the Mad Hatter liked her, or the March Hare. Because they just got really annoyed by her and kept criticizing her (actually, that's what I just thought the tea party was like).

Why do you think she kept wanting to go home the entire time? Because everybody annoyed her and they seemed irritated at her, and she just wanted to get out of all that and have life go back to normal. Then in Through the Looking Glass...she becomes Queen, but that doesn't mean anybody worships her that much. Well, they'll respect her like a Queen, but they don't love her or anything like they seem to do in a ton of manga that I've read.

And I'm tired of this Alice thing being so super important when it's just like if it were you and you suddenly found yourself in a country you've never heard of and you don't understand anything there. It's exactly like that. Alice was the foreigner to Wonderland, and it's not like she owns it or anything. And she only became Queen because she got to the end of the chess board and became Queen because she was a Pawn, just like in Chess. What I don't understand is why people keep putting WAAAY more meaning into the book than I think the author put in it.

Well, some things in there were probably pointing out to different things, but you could probably tell. But I don't think it had anything to do with each other, and it was all very random with no moral or anything.

I don't like it when people think too much about a book and come up with a completely random poetic thing that had to do with it. Liike if I were to say that Alice's Wonderland was like the reflection of Alice's life from her childish perspective. No it wasn't. I don't even think Lewis Caroll thought that much about kids' minds. If he did I think there would be some good evidence of that.

It's nonsense literature. It's not supposed to fit together.

And that's the end of my rant...XD

I've been wanting to practice my colouring, as you have seen. But it's not working...>.> I can't come up with any good pictures to colour...It's really annoying me.

And from my last posts I've been looking at a lot of H!P things. Well, I just noticed some things:

Tsuji and Saki have gotten a LOT prettier. I guess they've grown up more...I've never really thought about girls who've grown from 16-20 (not that Saki is 20, yet, she's only 19...but one year away). So...maybe I should adjust some of my characters...>.> Seriously, I never thought that girls would change from when they were like 16 to when they were 20 except that they might get taller or something. But their faces change.

Miyabi looks different, too:

I think her face has gotten longer...I wouldn't say she looks prettier, though...not as much as Saki and Tsuji.

Now...I should go compare more pictures...I've never noticed this...O.o

Wait a minute...O.o

Well, I was bored so I was looking at the revived groups in H!P, and I just looked at High King, then at Shin Minimoni. I see a problem here. Look:

What's the difference between these two pictures. Well, for one thing one is old and one is new, and they're wearing different clothes, and I could go on and on, but that's not my point. My point is, Maeda Yuuka is the youngest member, she used to be shorter than Takahashi Ai, now she's TALLER THAN REINA! So she's now the second tallest member of High King...Then I go and look at Shun Minimoni and...

annnd...Linlin is the oldest, and she's short, but THE REST ARE STILL KIDS AND HAVEN'T GROWN COMPLETELY YET! Linlin is liiike...in her 20's...she's old and short enough to be in Minimoni, but the rest are my age or younger! I'm not done growing, just because they're short now doesn't mean they're not gonna get a growth spurt like Maeda. So maybe a year or two from now they'll all be too tall to be in Minimoni...>.> 'cept for Linlin, because she's done growing...ONLY LINLIN QUALIFIES! TT^TT

Okay, sorry, I'm done! Nothing else to say...

Except that I'm REAAALLLY bored....>.> I wanna play Goemon sooo badly, but the N64 is sooo obsolete that it won't work on any of my TVs...unleeesss...X3 I'll go figure it out....

I drew an ugly guy!

Yep. I just sketched it out SAI...

This usually happens...>.> I start sketching a random person and they end up looking hideous...Happens EVERY TIME...except this one time, where I drew a guy who was supposed to look like Gackt, but I failed, but it actually looked better looking than Gackt (wow, that's hard to believe, isn't it?) but I couldn't draw the right eye, and I messed up on proportions on the space between the eyes and nose...it was too long, so I just covered up his face with a mask. And then I drew more of him, so now he looks like a final fantasy character! XD

I should scan that picture, but it's on lined paper....

I started this one with his nose, and the good looking guy I started with his eyes...So maybe that's what I should be doing. I did another where I started with the lips...but then I couldn't figure out how to draw the eyes...O.o And then I did another where I started with the face outline, and then drew in everything else...it looked okay, except the nose looked off...>.> The nose is like the most important thing for me because it's the first thing I see when I meet a person...usually... (sometimes it's their hair, sometimes it's their eyes, sometimes it's their skin...or just their face in general, it's pretty random, but mostly it's the nose).

And I have to say...Greeks have THE MOST beautiful noses I've ever seen....O.O My teacher has a Greek nose, and all I stare at is her nose...and think about Greek noses...XD

I know it's just a statue, but it's the best picture I could find...all the other ones...weren't really Greek noses...they're were like part Roman or something...they weren't as straight as Greek noses...They said that Paris Hilton did, no she doesn't, that's not Greek, that's like part Roman or something. It has a bump on top and then it goes down...that is to say if that's here REAL nose...O.o

I have an up turn nose, which I'm pretty neutral about...I don't really notice it that much on people...It's like it would be straight, or normal, but it is upturned a little bit at the tip...Liiiike:

Again, that's the best picture I could find...>.> Gosh, people...stop posting YOUR stupid pictures of your face against the glass or something...>.> Or maybe it's just google...Ehhh...good nose pictures are hard to come by.

The problem with my nose is that it has a dent on top...I mean, like a...a...ditch, kinda. At the two points where the bones to make my nose come together, there's a little slit where they're not together, and if I wink you can see that dent completely and it's like a hole...It annoys me...>.>

Ermm...how did I get on the subject of noses? Oh yeah, I started drawing a nose from that sketch...Oh yeah...XD I bet you guys read this faster than I figure out what I'm typing! XD I ignore this tab so much...

I'm actually killing time for The Graham Norton Show which comes on in liiiike 30 more minutes...>.> Guuhhhh...

Sooo...I'm tired of video games and I'm returning to the internet...That was fast, and I hardly played any video games...O.o I didn't even play any Harvest Moon games besides Rune Factory, which I played for like 10 minutes...then realized I had no clue what I was doing...O.o Seriously...WHERE THE HECK IS THE STORY!? I'd like to have a game that gives you a story and you have to follow it to get the next cut scene with more of the story in it...But NOOO...I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing. I just went into some random ruins and started killing a bunch of stuff...Then I left...O.o

Really, was I SUPPOSED to go into a ruin? I don't know, they never told me anything.

Hrmm...if I think about my favourite games....they all have a strong story in them. Fire Emblem...well, I don't think you can stray from the story at all....O.o It's impossible...Then Goemon's Great Adventure...you CAN stray from the story a LITTLE bit, but if you want to go anywhere you're going to have to go to the rest of the levels. But it's not like Rune Factory where all you're doing is walking around with nothing to do until you start finding things. You're on a set path in Goemon...And no, I'm being literal. That's how you navigate, on a path. Then when you choose your destination THEN you can run around and play around...but that's about it.

Hrmmm...Ocarina of Time....nope, you definitely have to do what they say if you ever want to get to a point when you can do anything and have fun. So that's pretty straight forward...

Hrmmm...Wait, what are my other favourite games!? Ermmm...uhhh...Snow Boarding Kids 2! Yep, you definitely have no story there...At least, not any that I payed attention to...I dunno why I like that game...O.o Maybe it's nostalgia, or the combinations of different clothes and snow boards and stuffzzz and the characters...Actually, I only like Damian...soooo....Well, it's a fun game.

Ohh! You guys! Hardly ANYONE knows about Goemon's Great Adventure, especially nowadays since it's such an old game. It was on the N64. It's a very great game filled with comedy, fun stages, AWESOME (totally awesome) music, and TONS of Japanese mythology! So lemme find some vidyas for ye:

Mmm'kay, this is the first castle. Y'know, the first level where they battle the boss. I really like the music to this one, but it's not my FAVOURITE.

This is my favourite one! It's the second castle. I love it sooo much because I can use my beautiful Sasuke (guy who is shown second) or Yae (girl with green hair). Sasuke is my favourite character because he's soooo cute and he's really fast and just really fun to play as. And he sounds so funny when he's hurt or falls down. Because of him I make lots of weird and high pitched sounds! XD I also like the second castle because of the music, but I'm not too big on the castle itself...I don't really like any of them...But I like some of the levels (which I can't seem to find...unless you'd like annoying narration by the guys who are playing).

This is probably the easiest castle....It's...the...fourth, I think, castle...It's too simple! TT^TT It took me one try while the rest too me 3 or more...But don't worry, this is as simple as they get. The final castle...is...near impossible...HOLY CRAP! IT'S SOOO HARD! TT^TT

Oh, wait! I found my favourite stage! See, you can now see how the game works better. And they're using Yae! YAAAYY! I mostly play as her or Sasuke...but I prefer Sasuke, unless I'm walking through town...because Yae is the fastest character.

Lemme explain to you guys how it works. You see, when you go to stages in the day time you have the regular enemies, but when you go at night (or it turns night) then you'll have even stronger enemies which are ghostly enemies from night.

There are tokens that you must get so that you can reach the final level of that island, which is the castle. And you need to get enough so you can enter that castle. So you go through these stages or do extra things in the villages.

And then with weapons, you get these cats and your weapons slowly level up the more you get. You have three different levels of weapons. The first one is really plain and weak, the second is silver and your attacks have a blue-ish glow and they're stronger, and then gold is the strongest and makes you weapon longer. The weapons change depending on the character, some get longer, some get bigger...just depends.

Annnnd that's about all I can think of...but it's a really fun game, and you can tell that the music is AWESOME! TT^TT I also like the villages. ^ ^ They're very awesome...

People need to play this game more. It's not about the story, or the graphics, it's about the gameplay! And this is seriously addicting...Except, for me, the robot battles. Which you DO get to fight in a robot, but I'm terrible at it. It seems that if I have a gun or shooting thing of any kind, I'm always terrible with it. But if I have sword I can get on with my life! ^ ^

Okay! I think I've wasted enough time! ^ ^

BYE!!!
