21st of Nov. 2020: *checks watch* nope still not dead!

But wow man this place sure is a shadow of its former self *whistles*

20th of Nov. 2016: I'm not dead!

I'm doing OK, working and dealing with my mental health as well as I can. I won't be back here, though. I've started creating content for The Sims 3. As for anime, I've left it behind mostly.

If any of my old friends end up reading this - the years together have been great, and I still get nostalgic about them sometimes. Hope life is treating you well!~

8th of Nov. 2015: For anyone wondering what's happened to me

Simply put, I grew distant from TheO. The fine folks here have nothing to do with it, you all are still amazing (and I feel awful for missing so many birthdays >_<). Tagging on Minitokyo took up a lot of my time, and I gradually found myself visiting TheO less and less, until it got to literally months between visits. Hell, I don't even think I can remember my password, thank God Firefox has the option to save them.

I'm also not that interested in anime anymore - I mean, I like the style and still add to my collection of eye candy, but I don't feel the need to keep up with new releases. I've got my gigs of old manga and am pretty much satisfied with that. Art-wise, the same: haven't felt the drive to pick up or finish a work in months, probably as a result of my passion for anime fizzling out. I'm still playing The Sims 3, and have picked up Doom too (love them custom WADs!).

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for the visit. Drop me a line on Minitokyo if you feel like it.
Hope all is well with you, and a huge thanks for the support. Take care.

OMG YAY

So I was working on one of my million projects and had to make blood. "Well damn, I'm screwed. I've never made convincing blood in my life." So I messed around with some brush settings and went apeshit on the PSD. Surprisingly, this is what I ended up with:

My reaction?

The background text is still crap, though. I'm ashamed to show it.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Also, this happened again, with this preview image. I lol'd. Hard.

Too hilarious not to share

There's this guy in my PR-related college who is awesome to get along with: he's funny, a gamer and interested in anime and manga. However, he has this huge problem with homosexuality because he went through a not-so-pleasant experience with one (nothing extreme, just a case of TMI).

He does know I'm into yaoi and I love teasing him about it mostly because I relish seeing him squirm and cuss in frustration. Recently he asked me if I'd like to help him with a logo for a project his team has to make for a class. I agreed and, in exchange, asked him to give me tips on a wallpaper I'm making. Mind you, he's not into graphic design, but I wanted a simple, objective opinion and knew he'd be good at providing it.

The wallpaper in question is this one (you can get the PNG here), it was originally going to be only an extracted PNG, but it looked good enough for a wall so I gave it a shot.
So, he suggested changing the direction of the smoke (which I was going to do anyway, the PNG is solely for orientation atm) and removing her shirt.

WAT.

I proceeded to link him to this scan of Badou in all his naked chest glory (second from left).

Oh, and just a few minutes before he had wanted my honest opinion whether or not he seemed gay, being that he always hangs out with girls.

My response, after the wall thing: "You're gay." *hysterical laughter*
His, after my explanation: "Aw c'mon! >:o"

I'm never letting him live it down now.

All the versions above are the textured versions. For textureless ones, go here and pick whichever you want :) No 1280 x 1024 this time because it looks bad enough as it is, squeezed like crazy.
Just thought I'd post in this world instead of the CP, it has been neglected too much lately. Much love for everyone~! :D

One quick post~
