Welcome to my little corner of The Otaku!

Let me introduce myself. I sign my art as "Kasey-chan", so feel free to call me that. My interest in drawing started when my sister and I went down to the book store and we discovered How-To-Draw-Anime books. It took off from there.
When I'm not scribbling away I am pursuing work in theatrical properties, spending way too much time on Netflix, watching too much TV, and wishing radioactive waste really did give people superpowers.

Here's some of my favorite things :).

Art Trades and Requests

I'm pretty much up for anything except yaoi/yuri. PM me .

New Style

So, I have decided to make a new style for myself. This doesn't mean my old style will be thrown out the window or anything. I just feel like right now it's a little generic looking. So I'm making a new manga out of this style. However, don't hold your breath, because I don't plan to have pages out for a while. This is due to me exploding with the sudden conviction that I depend on computers far too much to make my art look good. Hence, I'm attempting to do everything by pen, down to the last detail. Okay, so I'll edit with the computer still. Yup. So I'm going to kill myself on this one.
Oh yeah. Side note. Mark Hamill rocks my socks.
So do the Beatles.

4TH SEASON!

So I just thought, for the meager few of you who actually keep up with my posts, I wanted to let you guys know that the 4th season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) is coming out!!!! In case any of you were fans and wanted to know.
If you aren't fans, I highly recommend this anime. It's amazing.
Here's a pic.

Last Day Has Ended

Well it was my last day working at the G______ Playhouse today, appropriately it was pouring and we all got soaking wet loading the last of the scenery into storage and then saying goodbye. I must say, I will miss the people more than the job. It was a little sad, but I'm so happy to be leaving and having a life for a month before school! I already started the cover for my manga and am in the slow and painful process of reading Mansfield Park. I love Jane Austen and am attempting to read all of her novels (I've only actually read Northanger Abbey). Mansfield Park is my least favorite anyway so I probably shouldn't have started with it. Blech. I just hate Fanny.
Anyway, on Facebook a while back there was this list going around of 100 classics most people have only read 6 of. I resolved to read all of them before I was 30. Most of Ms. Austen's novels are there, so I figured I'd just tackle them all. yay. Mansfield Park is killing me.
Yup, so aparently I missed some art thief drama. Soooooo sorry that blew over my head. I believe the term "ignorant bliss" would be appropriate here.
Anywhoo, be looking out for my manga!!!!!
here's a fun pic, thought it was appropriate since my mangas about vampires...

Life is Looking Up

So a few quick things. We got all of our stuff moved in the new house! Mal and I were successfully able to fit everything in our new (and effectively small) room, which is quite the feat. I can't wait until we have everything moved around and organized so our house will feel like home.
Other than that, my theatre job will be over in a week, which should leave me with some ample drawing time. My new manga idea is coming along. A friend from work lent me this vampire encyclopedia, so I am actually doing a lot of research before starting this manga, something I really haven't done before. It's giving me a lot of cool ideas. There are so many interesting vampire species to play around with.
Yup, so I better get going. I'm seeing a play today. ooo check out my newest pic!
here's a fun pic. i hate twilight with a deep passion from my innermost being.

5 Days Off

Hello All! (Well to all two or three of you who still keep up with my posts haha). Good news! Hello Dolly finally opened so now I'll have much more time to draw, which is needed because I haven't done more than three pictures in two months. My mind is about to have a creative explosion! argh! Come around August, you might even see a fan manga. I have two ideas I'm playing around with. One is an old old idea and the other is a vampire one. I seem to like vampire stories... with all the vampire romance crap that's out now (twilight. shoot me.) I decided I wanted to do something with a deeper plot, and some actual fights. Also maybe focus on the VanHelsing family. Though my skills at drawing battles are not exactly stupendous, but if I play around with styles then I could probably do it. So that's a tidbit of what's going on with my brain right now.
Other than that my family is moving. I am astonished about just how much crap 5 people can accumulate over the years.
yup, so that's about all I have for now. here's my fun pic, great movie.
