Finished the manga pages~!

And celebrating by listening to NEWS Chankapana...Well, not really celebrating...it was the last song I listened to at the end...XD

It's significant since NEWS inspired me to write it. And the made-up band in that is basically just NEWS considering the leader is supposed to look just like Yamashita Tomohisa, then there's a Ryo Nishikido character, and a Koyama character...sorta Tegoshi character (though he doesn't look like him...his personality was inspired by Tegoshi, and role in the group)...and then randomly an Onew character because...because Onew...O.o;

I'm gonna take a shower (don't know why I'm telling you this) and coming back to work on the little extras and the cover for it and then I will post it!

I want to find out a way so I don't spam your 'Friend Updates'...but I probably will....

So I apologize in advance (I also hope I can post it all...I will on MB, though).

BYE-BYE~!!

90% complete~!

I fiinished inking all the pages of Idolling~! YESS! Now I just need to tone...gonna relax my hand for a while 'cause it hurts right now...

I guess it wouldn't have hurt if I did start going as fast as I possibly could so that I wouldn't miss much of Jeopardy, only to find out that it was Kids Jeopardy...;m;

I'll try my VERY BEST to finish this before August 1st, but I think I have to go get my schedule for school tomorrow (kinda excited but URGH!! WHY TOMORROW!? ;m; )

I just remembered that I have to draw a cover and some surprise material ('cause random comic stuff is always very fun~! X3).

I've decided to create a new comic thing for each chapter because that would make it easier to find which chapter you're on, make things more organized, and I don't know what I would if I don't do it that way...I mean, what would the cover be of...or for...O.o;

Before I thought of it like a volume, but I don't know how many chapters this is going to be so I can't really create a cover for a volume...XD

In other news (but still on the subject of manga)...

I was re-reading the mini comic thingy of NYC with guest star Akiko Higashimura (mangaka of Kuragehime/Princess Jellyfish) from one of my magazines and I started wondering what she actually looked like since she'd always draw herself with a fashionable bun hairstyle and never even shades her hair...So I looked her up....

WOW! SHE'S SO PRETTY!

At first I was like 'is that some idol?' but nope, that's really her...I'm very surprised! XD

I'm sure there are a lot of a pretty mangaka out there, but since I don't usually see pictures, or when I do...of some...they're....not this pretty...I was very surprised.

I think that's pretty cool that she can write such wonderful stories, win so many awards (or be nominated at least) and still look so pretty! O.O ('cause winning awards takes effort!...No, I really am being serious, if she works hard enough to get those then that's a lot of effort)

I'm done talking now~!

ADIOS~!

The City of Life and Death

I watched this movie today and I felt like talking about it because it was pretteh good.

It's about the Rape of Nanking in WWII. Because of that nobody would watch it with me (that and my brother is too lazy to watch movies even though he said he wanted to watch it, now he's saying he doesn't want to...>3>).

As a movie, it was WONDERFUL. But I don't think it is very historically accurate.

I've noticed with many of these Chinese war movies compared to Western war movies, the Chinese war movies show both sides and makes you feel sympathy for both sides, while Western war movies usually just have the bad guy and the good guy.

What I found really great was that (who I would say is) the main bad guy went along more on logic and actually had some very good points. He shot a woman he claim was beautiful who they were using as 'entertainment' because he believed she would be better dead than to live through what they've put through her (she probably would've gotten some terrible disease and lived a life of torture anyways). It was sad, but it did make sense. They give him some sympathy for those that he wrecked the lives of.

I think one of themes of the movie was that in times of terrible living conditions, isn't it better to just die? (Okay, not a theme, but a question of the movie)

It was more of a movie of humanity than of war, I guess.

I don't understand why most war movie fans like the war movies for the action. I think that's half the point of the movie. I like watching the reactions and the tolls of war on the human characters.

Another thing that I think this movie probably does the best that I've ever seen in a war movie was the battle scene (hah, right after I talk about how the battle scenes aren't really that important). I've never seen a battle scene done so well. I hear all the time about how 'it happened so fast' and then I watch the movies and I keep thinking 'Pssh, they could've hit them at such and such time and why were they open for so long?', but in this movie it really did happen so fast. I couldn't even think about what I just saw or figure out how they could possibly get out of their predicament because it seemed dangerous to do anything.

The music was also VERY good! The acting, fairly good, the dialogue was minimal, but it was powerful (like the chanting scene in the trailer I cried during because it was a very powerful scene).

A word of warning! THE MOVIE IS RATED R FOR A REASON! There are several things in this movie that I think most people would not sit well with, but it is a war movie and it a movie about the Rape of Nanking. BEWARE! You have been warned.

My parents didn't want to watch it because they knew it would be hard to watch and I don't think they would have wanted to watch it because it was hard to watch.

It wasn't gruesome or creepy or anything, it was just despicable. As in you see it and you just want to go into the corner and despair.

Very good movie, probably will get on my favourites list.

I highly recommend it, however I also think some people should not watch it because, again, it is hard to watch.

(Taking a break for drawing for a moment because my arm is getting tired...5 more pages to draw, 12 more pages to ink, and then I will tone them all eventually)

Adios~!

Finally found it!

This song I remember really liking it when I listened to it on the radio, but I could never remember the name of the band or the name of the song.

I thought it was American, turns out it's not...Will there ever be an American song that I like?!

Another short post...I just had to look it up to get it off my mind.

Don't particularly like it anymore, though...O.o;

Still searching for that American song that I like...And I mean truly American because I did like Backstreet Boys' Larger than Life, but that song is Swedish (production, creation, writing, etc.).

Okay, bye-bye~!

Woah!

Woah Osu! How did you know I was listening to Wuv U by Kors K!?

That's so weird...I was just watching the video then I was like 'I wanna go play that on Osu! right now' and that song came up as the song in the start menu...O.o;

Sorry, incredibly random...I just thought that was really funny coincidence! XD
