Bet'cha never knew I was gone! ^ ^ I was pretty close to the internet enough...except on two of these days I was gone...the other two I was on the internet...doing nothing much...
I went on a trip to Virginia to say hi to me relatives and stuff...
Now onto the INTERESTING-ish stuff! My mom gave me a hair cut (she usually gives me hair cuts, and they're usually good) and she gave me GANTA BANGS!! TT^TT By Ganta bangs I'm referring to Ganta Igarashi's REALLY short bangs...they look really weird, and it makes my hair look like poorly cut doll hair! TT^TT
I FINALLY went to Barnes&Nobles after like...3 years without it! IT WAS HEAVEN!! *dies* And it had Starbucks so it smelled WONDERFUL!! I wish there was more manga, though...WHERE THE HECK IS CHOCOLAT!? It's not a MANGA, but it's a MANHWA! The only difference it spelling and pronunciation...and style, I guess...but it depends on the artist.
I bought God Child Vol.4 Now I have 4 volumes! I'm working to buy them whenever I see the next volume in stores in order so I don't get confused (like in Rozen Maiden...but I can't read the 6th volume because my manga is in Dutch, and I can't understand Dutch). I want God Child to be my first completed manga...And since I got the fourth volume, finally, I decided to draw a picture of Cain...a profile, to be more specific...I tried to make him look REALLY realistic, but I drew it with a pencil so I have to scan it...I GUESS it's good...I tried my best to make it look like Cain...except I couldn't draw his clothes because I didn't want to mess anything up or cover anything, so I just drew him naked (since all you can see is his neck and head).
I also bought my first art book! By art book, I mean book of somebody's art, not a how to or anything (I've got TONS of those). It's Arina Tanemura's art on Gentleman's Alliance (which I should read since it looks really interesting by looking at the pictures). I had SOOOO much inspiration for coloring and clothes and other ideas for 360! ^ ^ It made me sooo happy! The way she draws her nails gave me the idea for a way to make cool looking nails for one of 360's group themes (theme, y'know, for like photoshoots, lives, and in the music videos, they wear the same clothes until their next single).
I've been inspired by Arina to make more realistic and detailed clothes (so I have to really study clothes when I see them, looking at every stitch and how it flows). But I'm VERY glad I bought that book. I really do like Arina's style! ^ ^ She's my...14th? favorite artist! ^ ^
Lately I've been really interested in Daichi Miura (because I translated a japanese wiki page on him, and it turns out he was dancing and singing since he was 9) and HE inspired me for Kiyoshi in 360! ^ ^ I've decided to make Kiyoshi more realistic in his skills and such. I NEED to make a character sheet of him to show you guys! It's killing me! Same for all the other main characters!
Right now I'm going to go find some good j-rock/visual kei bands...because I was listening to SADS, which is kinda J-rock-ish, and I just had to listen to more j-rock!
