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

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

My MAC is BACK!

Well two weeks and a large sum of money later, my MAC is finally back to life! I can photoshop again, which makes me so incredibly happy :). I don't think I'll be able to catch up with every thing that's been going on here in the past couple of weeks, so if anyone want to bring me up to speed I'd be much obliged. .
So I'm in my college's production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, which I am super siked about! We are turning it into a rock opera, it's gonna be awesome. Great cast too, I feel so happy to get such a cool group.
Also I decided to finally get my ass in gear and start a webcomic. A friend and I are collaborating, so I'm excited to get started, even if I have no idea how far it will actually go.
So other than that, not much else to report. Yep. It's been a pretty slow semester. BUT, spring break starts next week :D!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!
Ah so true so true

have fun Otaku-ing!

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!

The Root Goes Down and the Plant Goes Up

Well, In the past month or so since I last posted, I've been pretty busy. Mostly because I actually have some good friends now, so I've been staying up late almost every night having a lot of fun. We've had a few game nights and it's been delightful. I'm almost sad that I'll be going home, but not quite. ^-^.
Also, I discovered the band Gorillaz in the past few weeks, and have become rather obsessed with their music videos. Perhaps I should invest in a DVD, because I can't find a god torrent for al their videos and shorts. Anyone have any suggestions?
So in other news, GOKU SAYONARA ZETSUBOU SENSEI IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!!!!!! ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!! ^-^. The theme song is awesome, it's like all of the other theme songs on acid. And the first episode rocks, my sis and I got a giggle and a chuckle out of it.
And in other other news, I celebrated Jane Austen's birthday this year, which by the way, is December 16th. It was so much fun! We dressed up in our regency garb and went to this amazing little tea house with the JAne Austen Society. Even though I had a tart for dinner, it was still a great joy to take part in the celebration.
So I also posted a fan art. It's one of my little monsters: The Holiday Halloween. Please check it out!
Yup, so I have to take my LAST FINAL now and then I'm blowing this joint!

My first week away from school

Well it's been so nice not having to worry about schoolwork for a while! Although I have to work, but at least that doesn't entitle homework or anything like that ^-^. So I have been a busy little bee with my fan mangas which I'm finnally starting up again. I just hope that I can get a lot of that stuff done before college. I really want to draw as much as I possibly can over the summer. I have a lot to get done too, there's always a lot to get done it seems. Well, I don't have much else to say, so I'll go see what everyone else is up to!

this is a pic of Jiro Wang(Fahrenheight) and Hebe(S.H.E.) because I've been watching a lot of tiwanese dramas latley (ones with Jiro in them .)
have fun Otaku-ing!
