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.

The Remainder of Easter Break

It's my last day of break today *sigh* I really wish it wasn't over. I was having such a relaxing time! A lot of good things happened, I got a lot of schoolwork done, although I didn't complete my Internship paper, which is consequently the longest one. In my defense it was break, and I had already done two other reports. Also, I just felt like goofing off which isnt exactly the most legitamite reason but it was the biggest reason lol.
So I went to my music teachers wedding yesterday to sing in the girls chior, which was so much fun . I got to hang out with a lot of girls that I usually don't, so I guess that added to my socilization a bit. Anyway we sang Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus. Ave Maria was sung at the very beginning of the ceremony before my teacher came out, thank the lord! That wasn't our best song, but anis Angelicus sounded awesome and that was after they were married so it was really the only song that mattered. Then we got to go to the reception with awesome food! lol. So my day yesterday was a fun one.
Anime wise my sis and I found a new one ! Anyone ever hear of the Tales of Symphonia game? Well, my sis found an name for it. So far we only have four epidoes, but we're looking out for more. Anywhoo, we were estatic!! We just discovered the game and are playing it with my friend who acctually knows what he's doing lol. So finding the anime was pretty awesome. I advise you to check it out if you can find it .
In other anime news, Zuko Sayonara Zetsubou Episode 5 hasn't come out yet, I'm going on Zetubou Sensie withdraw lol.It's a bummer .

Drawing wise, I have like 6 new pictures to post. And believe me, they would be posted by now HAD OTAKU NOT PUT UP THAT MORONIC SUBMITTING LIMIT!!!!!! Well look out for them as the pop up ONE A DAY.
thats frustrating, but they don't have a similey face for frustrated, I suppose the Otaku people figured no one would need it....I think the missed something.

Oh ya! guess who's singin the opening for the Olympics this year in Bejing?!? I don't know ifg any of you are S.H.E. fans but I happen to be a big one and was estatic to find out they would be singing!!!!! Ahhh! I'm so excited! I had t put this pic up in honor of that

The Inkcapades

Okay, as most of you who have been my otkau buddy for a while know, I love love love Hana Kimi! So, like a good little Otaku, I went out and purchased Hisaya Nakajo's Hana Kimi art book. While reading it, I found that she uses colored ink to color her awesome pictures. I didn't even know there was such a thing as coloring ink, let alone a variety of colors! I always just figured that she used watercolors or something. Anyways, I saw this awesome colored ink set at Micheals yesterday, and on an impluse decided to buy it. I already had watercolor paper and was very excited to get started. I had this whole elaborate thing in my head of doing the Three Graces from Greek/Roman mythology. However, my sister wisely suggested something a bit less complex. So I decided to drawthe first idea that popped into my head. Surprisingly, I thought of The Scarlet Letter. If any of you don't know what that is, it's an old classic written by Nathaniel Hawthorne about a Puritan Adultress and her life living witht he consequenses of her sin. I remembered it because it was one of the only books I liked reading in school. So I decided to a sort of manga cover for the scarlet letter.
Working with ink was acctually quite entertaining, although I didn't get very far at all. My fav. color as of now is black. It looks so awesome and for some reason, it's just more fun to paint with. It's a very dominating color. Red's kinda cool too, that is if I had a fire engine red. My red now is a strawberry red, but I guess that could work as far as skin tones and stuuf.
So enough of my ranting for now.
