All Over the Place

Click and scroll down. Does one of these things look familiar? I'm famous! Almost.

In other news, I'm actually keeping up with my end of the Sketch Marathon. I just haven't scanned or posted anything. I'm almost at the halfway point with the first anime series that I'm sketching characters from. I'm still trying to decide which series to do next. (Note: I'm adding spoiler tags in case anyone wants to be surprised as to what I pick.) Basically, my next pick is between Death Note and Gurren Lagann.

I'm thinking that when I get each series done, I might make a series group picture. That's going to be separate from the Sketch Marathon. I'd just import the sketches into Manga Studio and mess around with them. Just a thought.

Oh! And I'm almost done with my Secret Santa. I just need to add another layer or two of color and it'll be ready to scan. Way to go, Keba. You're two weeks late. But at least it's turning out pretty nice. That is, except for the bottom of the page where it's a bit wrinkled. It was really hot in my apartment last night, and the sweat from my palms was getting on the paper. Hope that wasn't too much information.

There's also this Challenge I want to enter. Even if I don't make it in time, I still want to draw my idea. ♪

On a completely different subject, I got a trial subscription to Hulu Plus. Big deal. They still have commercials. I'm canceling once my trial period runs out.

Speaking of anime, I haven't started anything new. I'm aiming to wrap up a series or three before I pick up a new one. Believe me, I need to. I have eight different series that I'm in the middle of watching. And that's not counting the ones that I've put on hold. (No, I'm not watching them on eight different screens. That would require more multitasking than I can manage... plus seven more screens than I actually have.)

Ahem. Moving on...

Some KAAMP topics I want to write about in the coming year:

  • Guilty pleasures and feeling shame
  • Series that I want to like more than I actually do
  • Series that I've avoided and why
  • How obscure can you get?
  • Opinions on specific series (any requests?)

I was also kicking around the idea of posting my thoughts on slash and the like, but that could open a big can of worms. And by big, I mean that I could be criticized by both sides of the political aisle.

I'm also thinking about putting up my "help wanted" World mid-month. The question is, what do I call it? I want a catchy name. I was thinking "Artist 2 Artist", "theO's Most Wanted", or something involving the words "bulletin" or "collaboration". Maybe it could be a combination of any of those things. Any thoughts on the matter?
