Guhhh...

I've been drawing so much in the past two weeks or so...I'm sooo tired..TT^TT I've been drawing like 3 pictures everyday, PLUS tons of memes...>.>

Of course, a lot of them I get fed up with and never post or I forget to post or they aren't even done...But I've gotten to the point where...I'M TIRED OF DRAWING!! TT^TT They only thing that brings me joy is drawing the sketch, then the lineart and colouring just kills me...I can't do anymore! TT^TT

And I've done 3 pages of my manga Gemini...well, 2 1/2...I still have to do the toning...which is also killing me...It's just like colouring! TT^TT

I'm probably going to do a page per day...I've just taken another look at it..and it's REALLY short! O.O Like there's this one paragraph that was pretty long, and it fit into like one page...spaced out...O.o So I don't think it'll have that many pages...maybe like...20 more or less.

In Gemini I have to draw a lot of girls, well, they ARE the main characters...But I'm tired of drawing girls! TT^TT Their faces have to be softer, and pretty, and they can have a little bit of differences, but to me they all kinda look the same...I REALLY want to do some kind of fighting or shounen manga...but I can't think of anything!!

I have NO little boy characters...or tweenaged boy characters, I do have little girl characters, and older women, but I only have teen boys, and I want to expand (well, teen and aldult)...So I feel like making more shounen characters...But I don't have a shounen mindset! TT^TT It's all seinen...I barely have a shoujo mindset...

I want to take a break today to watch anime...I really want to watch some more Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Sengoku Basara...what were the other ones I was watching....O.o I completely forgot about all the other anime I wanted to watch! XD

Ohh...Rideback and Bakemonogatari...hrmm...Well, I'm gonna finish Sengoku Basara (first season, there's a second season! X3) and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 first...

So goodbye, I will be going away to watch anime now! I will see you when I get tired and dizzy! :)

Manga 'n stuff

I got Deadman Wonderland Vol.2 (which I still haven't read) yesterday and I was looking at the advertisements on the back and they had one for Heart no Kuni no Alice (Alice in the Country of Hearts) and...then I look back at MTAC and somebody was also cosplaying the Cheshire Cat and Alice from that...

So does this mean that...it's going to be popular!? TT^TT CRAP NO! NOT THE STUPID MANGA THAT ISN'T EVEN LIKE MANGA!! I mean, I liked it for a while, until I got into the 'real' story....in which I was fed up with it because it's just too much like a video game...TT^TT And the characters are annoying...And then we're introduced to the one secret guy who's in the main plot and whatever...then we figure out who is, he warns her about something, and then she goes on her happy way...It's not that interesting because we can TELL what's going to happen next, and then for a few chapters I realized that I could predict what was going to happen...And all the face palming...*sigh*

DO NOT READ IT! If somebody recommends it to you, you read it, and you like it. It's not because you actually like it (some of the time) it's because that person recommended it. So just keep this in mind if you DO read it:

'Isn't it too much like a videogame?'

Some other news, I guess. My best friend and I have been trying to read Kuroshitsuji...turns out...they took it off of Onemanga AND Mangafox (so we have to find other ways) and then I looked today, no Pandora Hearts, either. What are they trying to do? Deprive us of our gothic lolita/victorian manga!? ...we're both annoyed....We're buying (except for the first volume....sooo boring)the manga...we're just not satisfied. Like how I'm not satisfied with Deadman Wonderland...I LOVE the manga, but I WANT GENKAKU AND OWL!! TT^TT That's my favourite part! It has all the awesome characters! >:)

I'll read some more of the manga on my list sometime...It's just really tiring...I don't really want to read D. Gray Man...but I LOVE the way Lavi looks...I just want to figure out who he is....because any time I see a picture of him I'm like 'AWESOME!!!'

I've also been listening to a lot of oriental sounding music...like some Kagrra music, Orange Range's Kizuna, and some Ai Otsuka music....and I feel like making a Japanese manga...I mean....Y'know with the ninjas and stuff...and I keep watching Sengoku Basara...I was thinking of making this one manga I wrote (or started writing) a LOONG time ago about this one girl who murdered this one family and tries to escape from the police and stuff when she encounters mythical characters and people from stories and stuff of the Japanese culture and learns to be a nicer person...then she ended up being the Emperor's mistress...and it's just a really silly story. So I don't want to use that. So I feel like doing a samurai/ninja fighting manga...but I know myself and if I make it the least bit historical I'm going to go all out in research.

So now I'm thinking of making a manga that is samurai/ninja fighting...BUUUT it will be set in my own kinda world and the outfits won't be AS traditional and stuff...Then I see an ad for Heroes of Gaia...and now I want to do a medieval/utopia manga! TT^TT With corrupt government stuff....I keep doing that...

Let's see, the manga (well, I don't really have an exact story for it yet) for Tobias has to do with corrupt government, another story that I'm doing has to do with corrupt government...I like corrupt government too much...XD I even read a book about the Roman Empire and how corrupt it was. And because of THAT I wanted to do a medieval kind futuristic manga about SEVERAL different Emperors all like the Roman Empire...The good guy would of COURSE be the guy like Hadrian ('cept in the end he kills everyone...so maybe not).

Have I told you guys about the story of Hadrian? He was a Roman emperor who became emperor when his best friend adopted him as a son a few days before his death. He became a very strong leader and won many wars for Rome and fixed all the problems the other emperors made. He also was a kind man and very generous. But one day he went to Egypt with his lover and went to a fortune teller who said that somebody in his party would drown in the Nile. And his lover was so torn up about it possibly being his love, Hadrian, that he drowned himself in the river. Hadrian was so upset about this that when he went back to Rome all he did was mope around. And when it was his turn to judge something or give punishment, he gave people the HARSHEST. And he just started destroying Rome with all his grief. But then his assistant helped to calm him down and sent him to a resort where he died a peaceful death. His assistant, though became Emperor (can't remember how) and made Rome once again peaceful and there were no wars during his reign. So it ended kinda happily...

I got really depressed when I learned that once his assistant dies then EVERYTHING goes downhill and Rome is how it is today. TADAA~! Well, there were some positive changes to the Empire, but it all got messed up when the Emperors kept dying young and their younger sons would become Emperor and so they'd have 4-year-olds running the Empire, and they can't really DO that sooo...the Empire failed.

I'm also working on a oneshot called Gemini...it shouldn't be too long. I just really want to do the pages already (but I'm too tired today...ermm...tonight...this morning...O.o). It was inspired by Hatsune Miku's Tower of Sunz...but I had no clue what was going on so I just came up with an idea of what was going on...I think I was way off, though, so I made it into a manga.

I'll just TRY to tell you the BASIC, BASIC plot of it. It's about a girl and her evil twin who keeps doing terribly bad things. Yep, I'll tell you NO MORE. I already have the script, it's about a page or two long, double spaced...not very long at all.

Then there's a visual kei manga that I'd like to do. It's called Aishiteru Yo...I've been wanting to do it...but I'm not done with the script and it's like 3 pages already....TT^TT Too loong! I'm barely even scrapping the surface of what's going on...so I need to shorten it somehow (though there are a lot of conversations in the same panel, so that may be the reason). 'tis Shounen-ai, just so ya know.

I want to do a shoujo manga...but I can't think of anything! The only things I can think of are yaoi and gruesome horror...TT^TT Yes, I have TONS of yaoi ideas, but I REALLY do not want to do them because I don't like yaoi...it's just because my mind is perverted...XP

I also really want to do a slice-of-life manga...but I don't know how to make that short and with a plot...O.o Or at least a comedy. I have very strange comedic ideas and they are all kinda similar to FLCL....XD I just can't help but put in base ball bats! XD

Well...I'm sleepy...(actually I have to go to the bathroom)...So bye-bye! ^ ^

GOOD NIGHT...err...GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! ^ ^

O.O

The fanart gallery is empty...O.O

I think it's because of that switching of server thing..Hrmmm...

I think this will save since it said that if you see this block thingy then whatever you post will disappear...But it's gone now, so I think we can save stuff now.

Dootoodootoodoo...X3

I never actually watch any music videos (except an Alice Nine one...Rainbows...I LOVE that PV, one of my favourite music videos). I just watched a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and interviews...XD

Shou....Shou...He's a very weird person. I think he has a speaking probably or something because he always sounds like he's slurring his words, or like he's not opening his mouth enough. And his mouth is shaped weird...O.o Sorry, I just noticed all these tiny details from all the Alice Nine videos I watched.

I've been trying to figure out HOW these bands become Visual Kei bands. Because Kra, well actually just Keiyuu, was saying how they had to be all dressed up and it was really weird and they were thinking about how the fans were coming to see people who weren't really them. I dunno what that's supposed to mean, but I wonder if they WANTED to be visual kei. Did they just choose their fashion or did their label choose it for them.

What'd be like to be in a visual kei band...I really wonder..Because all of those clothes are REALLY expensive, the hair styles are really hard, and they wear so much make-up, not only that but they also have limits to doing things. I heard they can't go to the beach during the day and they have to go at night if they want to go at all, just so they don't get tanned.

Well, first of all, how come nobody carries umbrellas around anymore? In El Paso I saw SEVERAL people with umbrellas walking around town, when it wasn't even raining. If I ever had those restrictions in something, like to keep my skin as white as it can be, I'd carry around an umbrella. In fact, I'd carry around TONS of different parasols! I LOVE zem! ^ ^

And then you see jpop groups, and they are REALLY free clothing wise. They can just go out there in the sun and get so tan that they burn or something...Well, actually I think they have to at least wear sun screen! XD And then they can wear just a thin shirt and shorts and sandals and that's it.

I'd like to see a visual kei group like Alice Nine or SuG or somebody who wears a TON of clothes (not as much make-up though...they kinda look weird if that's all we're used to) wear thin shirts, shorts, and sandals, and not have such pale skin. That'd be really interesting. Or at least have ONE PV where they're more normal looking.

Not that I don't like visual kei (because I obviously do), but I like seeing different things every now and then. I say Jpop and Visual Kei bands should switch their clothing styles for one time. That'd be really cool! Seeing AAA all visual kei-ish...XD

*laughs* Some lady just called my house and asked if there are any parents around. My parents are out doing stuff in a different town and so I'm free to do whatever (not that I don't when they're here...but it's just uncomfortable to watch videos on youtube, especially visual kei, with them around). But it was so funny her reaction to that she was like 'Oh...uhhh...Okay...Well...I'll just call back...when they're home...I guess...' It was funny! XD

Strange thing is she had a really young sounding voice, so I have no clue who she could've been...it sounded a TINY BIT familiar...Still...

Darn, I've done it again. I keep getting completely side tracked, then coming back to this tab and noticing that I haven't even finished the post OR posted it...TT^TT

I should be studying more Japanese...>.> Which I should be doing right now...Hrmm...I watched one behind the scenes thing with Ayabie and I could understand what ONE of the guys was saying in a short little scene with him. He was talking about some ball thing that was in their Aitakute video and the many things you can do with it, or pretend that it is. It was very funny (because it was the only thing that I could understand).

I've done nothing today...TT^TT

I'm very disappointed in my style. First of all, I LIKE the lineart until I colour it, and then once I colour it I have no clue what I'm doing and mess it up. So I try to fix it on photoshop, but that doesn't work out. And then I notice that the things I like to draw most, like the faces, are the most simplest in the picture. And then I get all depressed and disappointed in my drawings and ugghhhh..It's killing me. My style is so...unstylistic...Yes, I made up a word, but that's the only way I can describe it. I need to do something with the lineart to look like a style, and the something with the colouring that goes with it. Have you guys noticed how my lineart doesn't match the style of colouring I was doing? That's what bother me the most. Stylizing...TT^TT

I should go practice now! After some The Kiddie videos! X3

Finding the Perfect Face...

I've been looking for somebody with the perfect face that I kept imagining whenever I saw the poor quality preview picture for each band I looked up on youtube. I kept imagining this one guy with straight, short, pale, black hair with face proportions PERFECT. But I never found one close enough...UNTIL I saw a picture of this kid (now an adult, so he is no longer perfect anymore):

And a video for a better look. Yes, ALMOST perfect, ALMOST. Except the shape of his face is weird, and his eyes look weird, too. So he didn't make it to my finalists. No actually, I have no finalists or an actual winner...XD Nobody is perfect, oh well.

But...then I found the one person who got the closest to perfect (in the kind that I'm looking for):

I thought this picture was fake. Like it was either drawn or HEAVILY edited, until I found more awesome pictures:

What are his faults? Hrmmm...his eyes are a bit weird (who really cares about eyes?)...and....that's all I can think of. Maybe that he's a bit too old or something. Besides that, he's beautiful. Like Masato, Takeru, and Maya! <333 No, I'm just kidding about him being like them, they're from completely different genres and look completely different.

The TRUE reason (I think, I can't remember if I have already said this and I don't feel like going back and reading what I already put...XD) is that I think I finally decided on a look for Kiyoshi. The perfect look. Where his face is completely symmetrical, his eyes are the perfect blue, and his hair always looks great. I know, perfect is boring or something, it's not boring when the perfect people crack and start becoming not so perfect...>:D I have a devilish plot unfolding...

No, it's not really devilish. Just basically how he gets overly emotional over...some things...and starts lowering his hygene and stuff...like not combing his hair (which for some people turns out to work out really well, but he's not one of these people), or washing his hair, or shaving (well, he actually doesn't really need to shave...yet...he's a late starter), or eating...just little things like that. Nothing big and gross like not taking a shower or putting on deodorant or something...Actually, those are really big things, they're just disgusting. He's not that gross! XD

Yep. I love it when perfect people crack. It teaches them a lesson to not be so perfect and that EVERYONE makes mistakes. Le gasp! I have a manga with a moral! No, it's not supposed to have a moral...that just happened...The story is not about Kiyoshi (well, not EXACTLY about him) it's about entertainment and relationships with other celebrity/singers in their record. So in a way it's somewhat slice-of-life manga...'cept...not everyone is a celebrity...soooo...

Well, time to go watch those videos I keep forgetting to do. I'm really out of it today, I forgot to put on a second coat of nail polish...or a third coat...and I forgot my rubber bands (which I no longer need...rubber bands for my mouth to straighten the jaw), and I walked right past the cinnamon rolls which were the ONLY things that I would actually agree to call for breakfast (I'm not going to eat that disgusting rice granola stuff my mom bought...it takes like honey mustard coated puff balls...it's disgusting). And I DO have a cold, so that may be the reason...

Okay, bye now! TT^TT
