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 .

BACK :)

I'm back from crazy theatre camp, so art should be popping up soon. :). Not sure if I'll get a Christmas pic in, but perhaps at least a New Years ones. Going to draw stuff now, my sister got me a CLAMP Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles art book that's apparently olny out in Japan now. Twas an early Christmas gift :). Hopefully I can get a more detailed post up later and see what everyone has been up to over the past 3 months. Hope I wasn't forgotten!

thought I'd put up a December related pic.

3 Month Break from the O

Hello All, or rather, Goodbye.
Because my semester this time round is a 7 day week, 7am-10pm each day monster, where only 2 computers are available for internet, I will be taking a forced 3 month break from the Otaku. There will be a small vacation for me in November, so hopefully I will have time to get on then. Other than that, you guys won't see me around here until December 19th. :(. Hopefully the O won't forget me! I'll miss you guys, have a great 3 months!

Have fun otaku-ing!

Vacation is over. . .

Had a great time traveling along the east coast these past few days :). We went on the beach a lot, went boating and saw dauphins, and ate some pretty awesome food (can't beat the delectable greasiness of boardwalk delights :D). Also did a little shell collecting and found about 5 pieces of sea glass, which made me happy because I never EVER find it. For a while now I've been collecting shells from all the beaches I go to and putting them on display in glasses, so it's always nice to add to the collection.
Now, however, the fun is over, and although I have a bit of time left before school, it's starting to hit me that summer is drawing to an end. Soon I'll be going 7:30am-10pm 7 days a week (the theatre school I'll be going to is pretty hardcore). Adding to my end-of-summer gloom is the fact that this is my last day with my twin before she goes off to Japan for a semester :(. Needless to say, today has not been the best day ever, but on the up side it's a gorgeous day. I hate to say it, but I am a little anxious for the semester to be over already, which isn't really a positive way to start haha. Oh well. Really all I can do is accept the changes and live in them to the fullest. Take everyday as it comes. This is a philosophy that's been pretty helpful to me over the years.
So in the meantime, schoolwork, mst3k, and hopefully social engagements will keep me in my usual happy, positive state of mind. I can also think of the upcoming semester as more of an adventure than an obstacle :).
Well that's all I've got. Here's a pic!

Deviant Art.

Thinking of getting a Deviantart account . . . or at least, one that I could actually keep up this time. I think I have like maybe three that I forgot about haha. Hopefully I'll be able to find some otaku people there. I think I'll do that tonight. Though, I need to think of a cool user name between now an then, I'll post it when I have everything up.

Summer is Fleeting

It's already August 11th and the summer is quickly passing by. sigh. I want more. I need more time! I still have school work to do and stuff to watch before I haul off to the intense theatre school. Even though it's hot, I think summer is my favorite season. I've determined that I like being hot. And summer just has this wonderful warm smell to it.
At any rate, I managed to get a fan art up and have 2 waiting to be photoshopped. In the meantime I want to work on stuff to scan so my computer is well stocked for the semester as I don't anticipate much drawing time. . . oh yeah. . . I need to get my printer fixed or get a new one. It jammed and never worked after that :/.
I also changed my avatar. As much as I'm enjoying mst3k (where my old avatar was from), I decided I should use a more anime-ish themed avatar. Since Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is the only anime I really watch nowadays, I figured I should use that. Plus it's so artsy, there's a ton of good avatars to be found in there :).
So yup I should get on that summer work . . . blech.
Since I'm thinking of mst3k, I decided to post this pic. It kind of reminds me of the show for some reason.
