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 :).

Life Update

Hello All! Sorry I haven't been on for the past couple of days, but our internet hasn't been working for a few days! I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got back, however, when I saw how many comments my last two submissions made. Not like it's a popularity thing, I just love reading what people have to say. Comments are my Otaku life's joy lol. Okay so I will definitely get another art up today , and pretty soon. I'm also DUH DUH DUH...FINALLY I am editing some old comic pages. I hope to get ICC completely edited to the end of the chapter and I have 1 MnA page to do. Both of them are editing nightmares because did a terrible job inking them. When I started to edit them last night, all I could think was "Holy Crap! How did I keep this up for 15 (MnA) and 35 (ICC) pages?!". In the future, I will definitely ink those pages better lol.
So I'd better get started! I'll show you an Ouran pic because I've been re-watching that recently

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.
