Can you believe Art Of Otaku is like 4 years old?
Here's a testimonial I got in my email box today:
Regarding the guide I purchesed from you...In my personal opinion it is a Fun and highly informative read. NEVER in all my years of trying to improve my manga have I ever come across a guide that is as comprihensive and user friendly as Art Of Otaku.
I'll admit I did have my doubts about it at first but you have far surpassed my expectations with this, which may be Damming your product with false praise because honestly I didn't expect much from it due to a history of crappy high priced "How to draw" books leaving me very jaided and skeptical. As for the price I was very pleased with the $20.00 price point, it was more than fair, however I would gladly have paid over $10,000.00 for Art of Otaku because of one reason, it rekindled my passion for drawing manga and anime, which was a passion that I truely thought I had lost for ever.
So I would just like to say "Thank You" to you and all the artist that worked so hard on this book.
Over $10,000? Maybe I should change the price, that would take me out of debt pretty quickly!

I know I haven't been posting as often and with as much gusto and great news as I used to. I'm sorry about that.
Most of my time is spent on my game, which is coming along pretty well. We'll have a small site launching for it soon as well as a launch trailer in the same vein as the Version Vibrant trailer. It's so far taken a year of my life away (yup, longer than Version Vibrant took, but games are hard and this is my first crack at one). A lot of my heart and soul has gone into it so I hope it's received well.
We're (eventually) going to announce the first set of Otaku Angels as well as introduce a new chat mod system pioneered by Beth.
I've also been trying to understand my own psychology. I have some scars I need to patch up and some knots I need to untie in order to live a happier life. Special thanks to Indi who's been recommending good books to read. It'll be a long battle...

I just got an email asking if I wanted to interview the singer HYDE about his band VAMPS. Any fans here? What do you think?

What do you all think of the small tweak I made in the background?
I put a link to the newest challenge and then moved comment replies to the same line as comments
I'm thinking of ways to promote challenges more, the big problem now is that it's not really unified, you have to click a lot to see what's new, unless you're subscribed to the challenge creators
