This is for myself but if you have any input lemme hear it hurr durr

- I came up with a plot I am EXCITED TO DRAW, and I already penciled the first two pages, I am pretty happy with myself SO FAR

- Trying to think of a title. D: D:

- I'm so tempted to host my comic someplace like webcomicsnation.com ...I'm gonna try to keep it R rated, so I don't think I'd run afoul of their 'no erotica' clause.
..BUT I'm just gonna host it on my website the way I always do it, that way da man can't censor my speeches.

- I should do more research on STUFF but I'm just gonna wing it for now, let's see how terribly inaccurate I make things!!

banana fish update - dis shit inspired me to become smarter.
I'm gonna go to the library and read a FAT STACK of books while worrying that some mob dude is gonna snipe me.
Reading in general makes you smarter, but I DIDNT READ ENOUGH. That is why I got dumb. Word.

Okay, the lady that made Banana Fish is a female Hideo Kojima, only she can write (OOOOHHHH)
MY MIND IS CONSTANTLY BEING BLOWN BY THIS MANGO

I'm on volume 14 out of 19. I don't think there was a single female character in the volume (except for crowd scenes). Shit was cash.

I think even a sausage-fest like Banana Fish can be feminist, by showing what happens when misogyny is followed to it's logical conclusion. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
Also Akimi Yoshida probably has a LOT of issues, but whatever

Apologies for talking about feminism lately, I just feel guilty for dodging the issue of female problemz in my "ARTWORK"

Sankaku Complex is a terrifying blog that delves into the darkest depravities of otaku and "moe" culture.

Vanguard Princess, however, is beautiful. :O :O
When I heard 'all girl fighting game,' I worried that it will be all gross and perverted, but it's actually quite classy! :O
The mechanics seem really solid, too. I love the long ranged characters. I hope it gets popular because I am so sick of touhou and vocaloid CRAP. Also Blazblue looks supershitty and I hope this overshadows it. /weeaboo

DUDES! thanks for all the comments on my last post.

I have a plot that is not only depraved, but different. Different enough anyway. :3

I Won't tell you what I went with, though! You will all be SURPRISED!
SHIIIT !!!!!

Since I finished 9knives, I've been wondering what I should do next for a webcomic. I have problems keeping up with webcomics myself, but it still appears to be a good way of getting attention on the internet...

I finally have some ideas! If you have read my comics, maybe you can give me feedback ( AND SUGGEST WHICH ONE I SHOULD MAKE??? )

Banana Fish is so great. I just learned something about the stock market by reading a gay yaoi mangoo.
CNBC - 0
gay japanimes - 1

I just wish I had a link to a pirated version so YOU ALL CAN READ IT TOO.

Also,

GET IN MY HOUSE

I drew this (nsfw) for guro_exchange, kind of a rush job.

Banana Fish is awesome, I am borrowing it from a friend. The first volume was a little hard to get through but after that it gets FUN & cute. Keikaku doori and constant talk about the rape of underage boys OH YEAH.

Recently I find myself fascinated by thoughts of disgusting cyber-body horror. I want to play Prototype pretty badly, but I hate how much new games cost.
In the meantime I found this very good anime and possible inspiration for BIO APOCALYPSE?!

( Genocyber: BIRTH OF THE GENOCYBER )

lol.

tl;dw version (gross)

OK you people were sorta right, Macs are pretty gimpy. It sucks not having all my programs.
BUT I am really enjoying my imac's monitor. It's like I'm CGing again for the first time! TEARS OF JOY. ;__;
Protip: DONT DO COLOR ART ON NOTEBOOKS unless you really hate yourself like I did.

I drew some sketches for matt again, also I made SKULLNIGHT. Y'know, back in the day I would have been at a loss what to do when someone sez "draw my wow guy." But now I understand how to find ways to reinterpret things in a style I find fun to draw! I don't know if that made sense. All I'm saying is I AM GROWING UP AND GETTING MORE SMART

Seriously, I'm sad. I really liked MJ as a kid. AMERICAN CULTURE OWNS!

OH GOD How does the giant eyeball ingest drugs. Or eat cheetos. I wish E really made your eye vomit.

They seem to target party drugs on this website, so it really annoyed me that they didn't include alcohol. Alcohol is a really shitty recreational drug IMO (of course it's wonderful in moderate amounts and with food HURRFF). I hardly ever see an ad that says DRINKING TOO MUCH IS BAD KIDS, AND THIS IS WHY.
It is because booze companies own the government. :[

My homosexual apple computer came in the mail today! It's fun to tinker with, but it makes me realize just how fucked my notebook's screen is - I guess it doesn't show yellow well, because in most of my pieces I overcompensated my making my art hella pee-colored. D:
EXAMPLE.
Maybe I'll go back and adjust the colors on my old art Blllluuuu I'll save that for when I'm feeling masochistic.

My brother just came back from Japan I GOT A LELOUCH FIGURE AND PERSONA 4 DOUJINSHITS.
He also got me tacky crap from a japanese head shop - "Smart Shop Bulldog" - oh man japanese stoner culture is stunted. They are a law abiding people. Stupid laws.

I gotta say, from what I have heard and seen from my brother, Akiba sounds like the nerd promised land. Now I am really determined to go there.

My bro failed miserably at updating his LJ so here are some pictures I stole from his photobucket account.




( more japan pix! )

I bought an iMac. :I
I know this makes me look like a jerk since I was bitching about money in my last post(s).
Among other things, I've realized you can't take money with you. Also we're gonna have ZIMBABWE STYLE INFLATION any day now holy shittttttttt i hope not
I've wanted a mac since like I was a kid, but I grew up with classists who insisted on the more blue-collar Windows. I STILL LIKE WINDOWS FOR VARIOUS REASONS, but I always wanted to have a mac to play with. TEH END GUYS

I halfway watched the anime version of Claymore and like, it's totally feminist, right? Am I crazy?

The Claymores represent what society expects of the modern female:
-to be as strong and ruthless as a male
-to still be subservient to male leadership
-to not be emotional
-to be doll-like sex objects
-to remain chaste / not be a whore
-to be hostile / catty with other women

One rebels against them, and she's the hero.
I think it's weirdly progressive. I'm probably missing something that makes it typical misogynist animu though.
important note: I DONT MIND MISOGYNY IN FICTION AS LONG AS I ALSO GET TO MAKE MISANDRIST STORIES OK

Here's my brother's LJ, he says he's gonna be posting JAPAN photos: simillion

Sometimes I'm jealous of my brother's income. It doesn't help that I might have to pay for my medicine now. -__-;
I should try to make money with my art more proactively.

Anyone want a picture for 35 bucks? (I'll make it ink and CG, even mail you the ink drawing when I'm done)

It would be like this picture I made for a kiriban.


if you want CG painter-style artwork that's fine with me too.

I'll have three 'slots' open but I doubt I'll have that many customers..

Also, anyone want a sketchbook? $150 is the average price turbinerocks gives me, but if you're a broke student/artist I'll charge less. :)

ok screw the twitter updates *SHUTS OFF LOUDTWITTER*

Uhh I should have posted about this before, but my brother just left for the airport, he's going to Japan for a week (because he got some cheap tickets). :O
He's going to try to see the gundam, of course. Are there any other things he must check out? I will forward all suggestions to him.

I was thinking of going to the summer comiket a while back but I realized that was stupid. Maybe winter comiket...
All I know is I have to go sometime in my life because it's like a WEEABOO HAJJ. My bro will scout grorious nippon for me.

In other news I love yume nikki, I am ashamed it took me this long to play it.


aaaaa


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (what the fuck do I do here)

I'm sorry for the twitter posts! They are gay. But I gotta say, twitterfox actually makes twitter kind of awesome.
I can tell this type of internet communication is in it's infancy, but it's THE NEXT BIG THING, I tell ya.

I am a little scared of the day when instead of smartphones, we all have computers in our brains, and we can constantly send "neo-tweets" out to our group of friends, and we won't be able to fully enjoy real life anymore. We'll be eating at a fancy restaurant and instead of appreciating the flavor and the atmosphere we are telling our monkeysphere of friends "O WOW THIS STAKE IS GOOD!"
And we won't even realize it because we'll all having so much fun TWEETING IN OUR BRAINS.

I think.. eventually.. instead of internet use being a outlet for the lonely, the wired will cure, or at least ameliorate humanity's existential loneliness. WE'LL ALL BE TOGETHER IN THE WIRED

I also came to realize the key to lasting success in character design is to have your character be recognizable and distinct at a single glance. One of the reasons FF7 is popular with kids to this day is because almost all of the characters were individual and iconic. Nomura's subsequent designs were unrecognizable lumps of zippers n belts. I absolutely hate it.

Poll: What's nomura's FUGLIEST character design? I vote Nooj.

hahah now I need to get an xbawks so I can 'interact' with a virtual English boy: www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=60704

oh twitter ~ I just got followed by five bots with the same emo boy avatar. Gotta say, they were sexy.

I love you, DA perverts: bit.ly/17BZsZ

Holy poo-poo, HUMANIMALS: tinyurl.com/o4x7qv ...I want to draw fanart.

The ghost of Jeff Buckley watches over me and protects me. I'm serious. >:
It's a boring story but if anyone wants to hear it let me know.
Also, here's my last.fm page I'm a musicfag now cough

I posted some poopy art here go look at it.
GIMME DEM HITS
I have been making some lousy art lately but I will try harder. Tomorrow!

( A.L.F. edits. I liked these. )

UNPOPULAR OPINION MEME

give me a tv show/anime/film/cartoon/video game/book/celebrity/band and i will tell you an opinion which is unpopular

this should be easy cuz I hate almost everything, let's see!?!

I signed up for some dumb web 2.0 sites:

☞ TWITTER - I don't have unlimted text messages, so I can't waste money by using it with my phone. I don't know why I signed up, really.

☞ last.fm - I still need to sync my ipod with it cuz that's what I listen to most of the time. I just bought these headphones.

Please tell me what your names are on twitter and last fm! Please?!? ;v;


fruity politics thing I realized..

The reason I don't make catty politics blog posts much anymore is I finally realized right wing and left wing people BOTH want Ahmur'ka to improve and become a better country.
It's fringe groups on both sides who want america to collapse completely. And I can understand why someone would come to that conclusion as well, so I ain't hatin' on extremists. Keep bein extreme!

ps. socialism OWNS ! I'm lovin' it


I like Stan.

Here is a better video I can't embed: Lepers in Nepal. I totally want to write a story about lepers now DONT IDEA STEAL ME
