Trying to fit as many things as I wanted into only $75...TT^TT
I have way more money than that, but that's how much was on my amazon gift card. There's so much manga and art books I want...TT^TT But I bought volume 2 of DOGS (now that I look back I should've bought Vagabond...>3>) and these two art books. I looked through a bunch of different art books and I decided on two, but it turns out they're both bishoujo art books...>3>
I like bishoujo...actually, I'm not really specific on what kind of art style I like, but I want a book with stylish men in it. I could've gotten an SNK art book, but amazon doesn't have any.
I was also thinking of getting Kazuaki's artbook...but it looked really expensive and it didn't have free shipping and I don't know if I like Kazuaki's art that much. Also I looked at super flat kind of art book called Cannibis Works and it looks AWESOME! But it was also very expensive, $70, and it didn't have free shipping either...
It could've been very inspirational...but I'll buy it some other time. In case you'd like to know what artbooks I've bought:
Kazuaki does art like this:
I like them...buuut...I dunno...I'll maybe buy the artbook some other time...
And Tatsuyuki Tanaka (whose artwork is in Cannibis Works) does art like this:
You can see how hard it was for me to decide...TT^TT
I was also thinking of getting Robot or Apple...but those kinds of artbooks I don't think I'm ready for. I don't really feel like looking at manga panels...which I know I should be getting used to by now and I actually doing...but I don't feel like reading little bits of manga in an art book. O.o;
I just had an idea for futuristic shoes! *.*
Why do we have to wear shoes that look like shoes? Why can't we wear shoes that are like robots? And we can put in anything we want to make the most comfortable shoes instead of just making it out of plastic and...clothing material (what's a shoe made of? I don't know...O.o; ). We could put in a massager, air conditioner, foot warmer, etc. We could also put in stuff that could help levitate the wearer so that it's easier to run in. Not particularly shoes for flying in...I doubt we'll actually get to that...But what if we had some that were kinda like the hover boots from Zelda. So that you can do that thing in cartoons where you get out a certain length off a cliff and then run back on.
This way people can maybe run faster so they don't have to use the bus or whatever or bicycles.
And it'll all be steam powered! Or something...O.o; Like...not putting coal in it or anything! XD I don't know...I have in my head...but I don't know what the engineering is called..
Maybe I can design some futuristic luxury clothing in a picture for that one art school thing...That'd be fun...XD
I dunno how to improve the t-shirt...hrmm....>3> Metal t-shirt...is too heavy...Hrmm...heated shirt or cooling shirt....hrmm...Main problem I'm thinking about in my head is how to make something light weight, but strong enough to protect somebody from a bullet and still be comfortable and maybe even skin tight...
Oh! Of course! No shirts! :D BODY ARMOR! >:D Hi-tech body armor...
Sorry for the brainstorming...XD Gosh, Tatsuyuki Tanaka's art is VERY inspirational....I might write this down! *.*
Maybe in the future I can finally make futuristic manga...*.* I love the subtle futuristic kind of stories like Evangelion. It's in the future, but if you didn't see all of that technology and it was just liike a manga about the life of some teenager in the same setting, you'd never know it was futuristic at all.
(What a coincidence, I just got Utada Hikaru's Beautiful World...but I'm not listening to it anymore 'cause I clicked next...now I'm listening to Ayumi Hamasaki...O.o; What even more of coincidence)
Akira was pretty good...hrmmm...
I like summer pictures with kids coming home from school or something...I don't know why. I like summer things...but I don't like actual summer...O.o;
I have no clue how to answer those questions of: What's your favourite season? I'd say all year...maybe not winter...'cause I don't like being dry, but I do like being cool...Spring and Autumn have the best days for the weather and I don't know why I like summer stuff...O.o; Hey! I guess I can say all of them except for winter! XD I don't actually mind the cold, and I do like snow, but I don't like it when there's messy snow...like when people have walked all over it or in cities when the snow turns almost black. It's gross...
...umm...what was I talking about?
Well, I have some WIPs of character designs to show you. But now I feel like redoing them...again...O.o; Except for the most detailed one. I think I crapped out on the others:
I'm in a good brainstorming mood...O.O
Hopefully I'll stay this way after Iron Man 2...I'm gonna go watch that. I'm afraid...TT^TT Mickey Rourke (sp?) scares the CRAP out of me. He was one Graham Norton...and...he...was nice...but it made me even more uncomfortable! TT^TT Also I heard it was a pretty bad movie. But at least I get to see a shiny Iron Man...shiny...*.* I think that's the reason why I liked the first one! XD I can barely remember anything about it (even though I saw it twice, I don't usually see movies more than once unless they're...special...) except for the shiny body armor...*.*
Okay~! Bye-bye~! ^ ^
