Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

So, I've got some updates...I started a new Cosplay Guide. I'll be updating it weekly, so be sure to check it out! I've got 2 features up so far, as well as a little comical "Bad Cosplay" post. I'm really excited about this little project! I'm having a lot of fun and it's being received pretty well. Now, I admit that I'm not a "professional" cosplayer, but I've had my experiences and that's my main source of inspiration.

Speaking of cosplay, I've got a list of what I cosplay as now!

~Akasuna no Sasori (Naruto Shippuden)-Completed; appeared at A2F3 & A2F4
~Female Ranma (Ranma 1/2)-Completed; planning to appear at A2F5 & A-kon 21
~Excel (Excel Saga)-Nearly complete (missing the jacket); planning to appear at A-kon 21
~Inorganic Angel Rosiel (Angel Sanctuary)-Halfway complete (missing the nightgown; wig is being bid for on eBay); planning to appear at A-kon 21

I'm excited, really. So excited. Oh, and I've started work on a new fanfiction! It's for the Jim Henson movie "Labyrinth". It's a Sarah/Jareth fic...It'll be M-rated, but I'll be posting it over on my FFN account. I mainly write one-shots...

I'm also going to be working on some new fan art. I've got two works to do for challenges on here and the rest will be to sell as prints at A2F5...I really would appreciate some suggestions of popular characters. So far, I've drawn Sakura Haruno (Naruto) and Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece). I'm also thinking about selling prints of my Shunsui and Nanao (Bleach) picture entitled "DATE MEEE!!!". I'm not so sure on that one...Anyways, please suggest popular characters for me to draw and sell as prints!!

Well, that's all for now. Stay classy, Otakuites!

So, no time to update, really. Just wanted to say that my contest, Cure Angstemia and Emoitis, is now officially OVER!! There were so many great entries, so check them all out! I got a laugh out of them. The winners have been declared:

~In first place, we have l33t with YAY LIFE! l33t did a great job drawing the characters' emotions and fully illustrating the theme of the challenge.

~In second place, we have cookiebunbun with Sit Still! cookiebunbun did an absolutely amazing job with the lineart and the coloring, even giving the characters dialogue!

~And last but not least, in third place we have DeidaraNarutoClan with Weirdly Cheering Up! DeidaraNarutoClan illustrated the theme with such a macabre sense of humor that the piece begged for the viewer's attention.

Thanks to all the participants! While I could only declare three winners, I believe all of your entries were simply wonderful! Great job, everyone!

Well, stay classy, Otakuites!

Music: None...

So, just a quick update...I was YouTubing and found this video...As soon as I heard the first line of the chorus, I erupted in a fit of laughter. Fair warning, NSFW!! If you don't know what that means, Google it...

So...I've issued a challenge...Go to the Fan Art portal, click Challenges, and scroll down. Mine is the second one from the bottom. I've already gotten 4 entries, and there are 10 participants. I've decided that I'm going to let an unbiased party judge, if theOtaku doesn't judge this...The Challenge feature is the new MONSTER feature Adam has been working on, so no one really knows just quite how it will work...I've also entered Teh Kimmeh's wallpaper challenge. Go check hers out!

Works In Progress
~Big Brother? (Contest entry for opalskys' Cosplay Contest; Kita as Ed Elric, 50% complete)
