Welcome to my world. I'm a interactive designer working in the Seattle area. I love anime and have been an anime artist for about 4 years now. I love meeting new people and commenting on work. I also love receiving comments and criticism too. I want to be a better artist and The Otaku is the place to do that.

The Aki Con Disaster Podcast

Hey everyone!

Oh man I don't know what it is but I am loving podcasting! It's been so much fun! As many of you know Aki-Con was a bit of a disaster for Hypergate Studios but one gem that did come from the con was our podcast. We recorded our thoughts on the con live from the hotel bar on the second night. Now maybe its because I was in it and its always fun to hear your own voice but I loved it. This episode was so much better than I our first one. We clearly learned a lot from our previous podcast. I would love to hear your thoughts on it, I am on one knee, begging you guys to take a listen, maybe while you are at work and want some background noise. We are having such a fun time and seriously want to know what you guys think. Check out the new podcast at http://www.hgscomics.com. All the details of the train wreck that was Aki-Con are stored in this gem of a second episode, "What are we doing here - Episode 2 - Where the hell are we".

HGSComics.com Launches

Hi everyone,

I am very excited tonight to announce something that I've been working on with the fellow Hypergate Studios fellas for what seems like the last 4 months (it seems like that because it has been 4 months). We are launching our brand new comic book website, <a href="http://www.hgscomics.com">HGScomics.com</a>! This has been a very big step for us at HGS. We now have our commercial presence for our comic book. At the site you will be able to buy the comic book, sign up for updates, join our mailing list, read about our adventures, and BUY DEVIANT ART PRINTS! That's right, all of you fans of my <a href="http://spacecowboytv.deviantart.com/art/Hinata-Sexy-62857119"Hinata Sexy picture</a> can pick up a copy at our new site. We will ship it right to your door! There are a bunch of other prints available and we will be adding new prints on a monthly basis.

The other HUGE milestone for us is that launching this site also means we are officially launching our PODCAST!!!! HGScomics.com will be the home to the HGS podcast "What are we doing here?". Our podcast is just a 30 min journey with Nate Brad and I as we discuss our adventures in trying to make our own comic book, our love for nerdy things, and just general nerdism. This really is something special for us. Nate and Brad have been an equal part in all things Hypergate Studios but until now they've had to differ to my online art presence, but now you can hear from them too.

We can't express how excited we are about this and we hope you will take 30 minutes out of your day or night and join us as we try and figure out this whole nerd culture thing, make a successful comic book and talk about the extraordinary events that happen in our daily lives! Also, if you can, we have created a form for you on our site to write us directly about the podcast and we will read your comment on our next podcast! So if you want to get on the podcast yourself head over to the <a href="http://hgscomics.com/index.php/podcast.html">podcast page</a> and shoot us a message and we'll read it on the next show!

Whew! In other news, we are going to be at Aki Con in Everett WA this year. Anyone in the WA state area that wants to meet us, come on down to Aki Con. We have a booth there and we'll be recording a podcast live from the show! Special prints not available on here or on HGScomics.com will go on sale at Aki Con too, so be sure to check us out!

Well that's it for tonight, check out our new site and listen to the pod cast, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, shoot us a message on the site and let us know what you think! Have a great night!
