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
Books: Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey,Jane Eyre
Colors: Green!
Superheroes: Batman and Spiderman

Art Trades and Requests

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

Tag! I'm It!

Hanawa tagged me :D. Thanks so much, this was pretty fun

Rules!!!
-You must answer all the question truthfully..
-Tag at least 6 people after you've done and inform them on their pages...
-Tell what do you think of these question to the person who tagged you...let them taste your blade of fury...

ROUND 1!

01. What was the first anime you've ever watch?
>>Pokemon was technically the first series I watched. We had a VHS tape so I basically watched the same three episodes over and over haha. The first movie was Spirited Away, which really got me hooked.

02. What anime influenced you to start drawing?
>>My influences actually came more from manga. Rurouni Kenshin and Tsubasa:Revevoir Chronicle were my two favorites.

03. One of your favorite member criticize your artwork which you've spent hours on, you...
>> Criticism is one of the reasons I post my art here, so it's pretty welcome actually.

04. You judged an artwork based on what?
>> The amount of imagination and originality that the artist put into it. However, I'm usually drawn to a picture by the colors first.

05. Who's your favorite artist in TheOtaku? 'I don't know' is not an answer...
>> Oh geez. . . um. . . I guess I have a few Gadriann, charr, and JingleStansChibi are among my favorites.

06. Who was the first member to talk to you?
>> That would be asking me to remember like four years back before theotaku existed and it was just myotaku. So looking back on my old guestbook it says AkaneHishiori was the first one to sign. So I guess there's that.

07. What do you feel when a new member criticize your artwork?
>>see question 3

08. You don't get too much hugs, favs or comment for an artwork you put your heart in, you...
>>I'm always a little disappointed, but no comments or hugs etc. doesn't mean the art is bad. As long as I still like it, then I'm fine.

09. You were hoping your favorite subscriber to leave a comment on your artwork, but they never did, you...
>> Haha that happens almost every time I submit something. Usually I don't get as many comments as I was hoping for, so I've just kind of accepted it as normal.

10. Did you get nervous when you're about to leave a comment in an Otaku Legend/Senior Otaku or any other high ranker's artwork?
>> No, actually I usually don't notice what rank they are until later. Unless, of course, they are pretty well known on theO

11. Did you subscribe back to those who subscribe to you?
>>No, not in general.

12. Did you checked the artworks of your subscriber?
>> Yeah, usually.

13. How many times did you visit 'New Member Introduction' site in a week?
>> Wow not much. I used to almost every day when it was first put on theO, but for some reason I don't anymore:(

Lazy Summer Day

Hey All! It's been a little while since the last post and really not much has happened since. I started a job at White House Black Market, which is a dressy store that carries mostly black and white clothing. Most of it is super cute so I think I'm in trouble! Haha I'm not going to earn any money because I'll use it all on cute clothes :). Other than that I'm going to see a free Shakespeare play tonight with my sister and a friend, so that should be fun.
Art wise I got up two pics of my favorite cartoon characters. I'll probably upload a few individual ones so you guys can see the original, bigger versions of each character. Other than that, I've got 2 fan art gifts to draw and am working on my fan manga.
here's a fun pic haha i love that face :D

Have fun Otakuing!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Happy Memorial Day everyone :D. I probably won't have a computer on that day because my family is taking a vacation up to my grandparents cabin. I hope to get some stuff drawn up there, I've actually been working on a fan manga, but because of the style it's in it takes a while to finish a page. I would like to post it sometime this summer haha. That would be a good goal. I also would like to maybe work with American cartoon characters more, because the last pic I posted was so much fun to work on. I think I might do favorite cartoon guys from movies (could always use practice with guys) and a favorite cartoon girls from TV shows. Well that's about it. Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday (for those of you who celebrate it of course).
here' an anime-related pic because I've actually thought at some points, "don't the creators of this show know that boobs aren't made out of play-dough?!?", Haha those were the animes that I generally stopped watching after one episode.

have fun otaku-ing!

I finally drew something :D

So I finally finished drawing for the art trades and gifts that I've been meaning to do for a very long time now. School is over, and I already have so much free time! Hopefully this means lots more art over the summer :).
So since the last update, Merlin was finished :(. I don't know what to do with myself, it's actually pretty sad. I am already anxiously awaiting the third season coming out in September. Augh! So long to wait! Oh well, at least I'll have new Venture Bros coming out this summer. There's also non-TV related events going on haha. This summer is looking to be a pretty good one :).
here's a fun pic, as always

have fun otaku-ing

The Late Post

A lot of things have happened since I last posted anything. First of all, Happy Belated Easter everyone :)! I trust, if you celebrate it, that you had a good holiday. Other than that, I've posted a few new fan arts, which is pretty exciting for me because I haven't been too great at keeping up the drawing. Hopefully that will change. Oh! I won that Tsubasa contest and received the series this past week, which was super exciting because I never EVER win things like that. Pretty cool!
In other news, I got an interview date set up for NTI (National Theatre Institute). If all goes well, I'll be doing an enrichment semester there in the fall and coming back in the spring. I'll be praying :).
Also, I've discovered Merlin, the TV series. It's pretty cheeseball, but I can't stop watching it! It's addicting. Doesn't help that the lead actor is cute haha.
So that's my update. I hope to be a better Otaku friend and check up on people more.
Have fun otaku-ing!
