AMGASH GAIZZZ! My mom let me buy a day with my graduation money. Nowww, I'm not sure how much stuff she'll let me buy, but for now I really really want Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward...;m;
Apparently it connects to 999 and has a GREAT twist, even the people who were hating on it loved the story...;3;
So I did buy it...and I clicked on free 2-day shipping...COMPLETELY forgetting that it basically doesn't apply here since it's the weekend tomorrow...;3;
I'm left in agony of wait until Tues....Well, know what that means? Hardcore work until Tues.~! :-D (<-- This is supposed to be a forced happy face)
In other newwsss...I beat the Elite Four~! :D Hoping that I would go on to the Champion and wasting lots of potions and revives to get my pokemon in shape for it, only to have to capture Reshiram...;m; Not what I plannnnnnneeeedddd...>3> So I stopped! :D
I also was looking through my FE notes for Awakening todayyy 'cause I wanted to do a quick run on easy mode and get as many support conversations as I could and try to get the most interesting ones...
And I found a list of my pairings and they're soo weirddd...
Leik Nowi and Frederick? Wha?! Or Maribelle and Donnel...Hohoho...that one sounds funny. I dunno how I came up with these...I guess I chose the ones that'd have the weirdest reactions from the characters...O.o;
I HAVE been working on Idolling! :D I'm...60% of the way there! But only 10% if you take out the storyboarding and writing...'orz Remember kids, statistics are there just to make themselves sound big and important when they're actually minor little tidbits of the real thing! :D
Omigosh, sorry...dis arttt...DIS ARTTT...
Oi! I just feel liikeee ittt...but lemme list some artists that are in my top favourites (including mangaka, so I incorporate story-telling skills into this):
Kinu Nishimura - Artist who works for Capcom and has done the art for Street Fighter numerous times!
I love her rough, yet somehow accurate, colouring style. It makes the characters look so full even though the colouring is rather flat. Her anatomy is to die for. It's so incredibly gorgeous...I've never been so inspired by anatomy until I saw her drawings.
Tatsuyuki Tanaka - Animator and Artist. He did one part of an Utada Hikaru MV.
His style has this eerie mysterious feel that inspires me a ton. I love his small use of colour, it gives of a wondrous ambiance. Not only that, but his drawings have so much form yet they are flat without much shading...It's amazing how he can do that.
Satoshi Kon - AMAZINGNKGJDNKGNDKJGN Animation Director who has directed award winning films like Millenium Actress, Paprika, Perfect Blue, and Tokyo Godfathers.
I like his semi-realistic style and ability to add in realistic details to an anime. The movement in his masterpieces (must be called this) is mesmerizing and the imagination is wholly inspiring.
Reiko Shimizu - Artist and mangaka of Himitsu Top Secret, Kaguya Hime, and so many other wonderful titles.
First off, it's the storytelling. How does she do it. How does she make something so abstract and hard to wrap my head around otherwise, how does she make it so incredibly clear and easy to read?! Most mangaka just smash us with walls of text of explanation, but she doesn't, yet she has so much to say...How!?
Second, her art style I've always adored! It's this lovely bishounen, soft style. It has this sort of art nouveau look that I find really attracting. It reminds me of the '70's manga with the prominent facial features and sparkling eyes which I really love the look of, but sometimes it's too much. Her art style has a nice balance to it.
And dis picture is too kyoot! ;3; Omigosh, Wai Maki-san do you look so adorable here?! And dat kitteh!!
Takehiko Inoue - Mangaka for Slam Dunk, REAL, and Vagabond.
His art style is sooo realistic, it's beautiful. I think he is the best watercolourist I've ever seen. Some of his paintings are so unbelievable in skill level I just don't know how they COULD be watercolour....O.o;
Hiroaki Samura - Mangaka for Blade of the Immortal and numerous other lovely titles.
I'm not exactly sure what I love about his art, but I really do love it. It might just be because his women are so soft looking and his men are so rough looking. That sort of change I think is realistic and nice. The way how he handles drawing this difference is PERFECT.
Leyendecker - Famous Illustrator of the '20's.
He's got to be the person who started the whole Bishounen boys thing. I mean, yeah, his men are fairly manly, but also a whole lot of bishounen. Everthing he draws is sooo lovely and attractive, I mean, it should be, he's painting for a consumer. His strokes seem like magic. They characters seem to jump off the page just from these simple strokes. What I love the most about him compared to others of the Western world and what really stands out is the use of flat colour. I love flatness used to create form. It's the opposite of how it should work! XD
Peter Paul Rubens - Famous artist of the 17th century.
My art teacher let me borrow a book with sketches from the masters (artists) of how they draw anatomy. Peter Paul Rubens stuck out the most to me. His anatomy is AMAZING it looks so real. The way the people are positioned, I felt like if I poked them then I could feel the muscle that is supposed to be there. That great (if that sounds great! XD).
Well, that's the end of my little artist showcase (sorta?)! :D I forgot the rest...'orz I'm so sorry those other gaiz....I probably really really love your art if I saw it and remember, but I can't remember right now...'orz
ADIOS!
Oi! Quick Song before I go (leik every post):
I really like this singer for some reason. All her songs just sound so beautiful to my ears! ;w;
ADIOS! (For realzz this time)
