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 :).

Anime: Miyazaki's works, Tokyo Godfathers, Astro Boy (2003)
Manga: Rurouni Kenshin and Hana Kimi
American Cartoons: Batman: The Animated Series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Venture Brothers, Gravity Falls, Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated
TV Shows: Merlin (BBC), Firefly, Mystery Science Theater 3000
Movies: The Secret of Kells, The Adventures of Tintin, X-Men: First Class, The Iron Giant, Muppet Treasure Island, Treasure Planet, RoboGeisha, Sharktopus
Books: Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey,Jane Eyre
Colors: Green!
Superheroes: Batman and Spiderman

Art Trades and Requests

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

Birthday

Today was my birthday and all I have to post is this

haha it wasnt a bad birthday or anything like that, Grump Cat makes me smile and I can't think of a better way to end this day :P

Who Has Two Thumbs and Got Photoshop For Christmas?!

THIS GIRL!!!!

I posted some art too so I hope you enjoy! I'll be a busy bee with some old projects for a while so you will see more stuff pop up in the near future hopefully. Yay!
have fun otaku-ing!

Wow. Just Wow.

So haven't posted anything here for decades. . . okay maybe it's only been like a month, but that's ages in internet time! So I put up art for the first time since the summer, which felt super special awesome. As I said in the description, I do have 2 prints of it that are just sitting around waiting to be mailed to someone. *wink wink*. So check it out and if it's your thing please PM me :).
So my DC internship is going well, aside from being payed next to nothing. However, I have a free place to stay (which is no lie an act of God because there is no way I could be living in the DC area without this no-rent space). I have discovered that I love froyo, but hate public transportation. Love the idea of it, hate the execution. 'Nuff said.
So how was everyone's Turkey Day? (If you live in the good old U S of A, that is). I hope it was full of thankfulness and deliciousness :).
Well I think I'll see what everyone's been up too and maybe also check out some black Friday sales (cause nothing says "Christmas spirit" like some good old fashioned greed right after the day we're supposed to be thankful for everything).
Enjoy this lovely picture of Spidey and friends celebrating the holiday season!

5 Days!

5 days until I end my job in NJ and start preparing to move to DC, which is both very exciting and intimidating at the same time. I'm anxious to get to a new place, but I wish I had someone I knew there. Even though I don't have rooming/housing quite figured out yet, I hope to eventually live in a group house or something. That way I'd at least get to know some people.
In artsy news, I am about40 pgs in on my comic and, in super special awesome exciting news, I am downloading Manga Studio Debut 4 as I type!!!! I am very excited to get started and also very excited that it was relatively cheap to download on amazon. I hope it's a good program, the reviews seemed positive enough. So you may FINALLY be seeing some arts again! Although I do need my scanner, which is currently in PA, so you won't be seeing anything for at least a week. boooooo.
Yep so that's all that's going on now. Counting down the days until I get to leave NJ. No offense, but there is no way I would ever want to live in this state. Ever. It's the jughandled strip malled armpit of the east coast. Haha in short, I'm not a fan.
I hope to be checking up on you all at some point today and check out the new arts. Perhaps post in Failtastick Fandoms if I get an idea for one. Any suggestions?
In the meantime enjoy this utterly adorable pug

In Production

I am in the process of the Pay it Forward challenge requests, which I am super excited about :). I have one done already and am hopefully going to start the second one tonight. Sadly, none of these will be Photoshopped, so I hope everyone is okay with traditional art. It's been a fair amount of time since I broke out the colored pencils, so I hope all turns out well! I was so happy to see Reenigrl's The Cat Returns fan art that she made for me for the Pay it Forward challenge. Please take a look, it's certainly worth a view: http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/387652
In other news, we are going into another tech week, which may kill me, but I'm not going down without a fight. Netflix and pie is really all I need to keep me going and I will have that.
So in the meantime I'll be checking up on the new arts and hopefully getting another post up in Failtastick Fandoms.
I hope you all are having a lovely evening :). Enjoy this adorable reptile.

Have fun otaku-ing!
