Welcome to my little corner of The Otaku!

Here's a brief bio:

I am a theatre major. This alone should say a lot about my personality and what I spend most of my time doing. I've come to terms with the fact that I'll probably be living in a cardboard box, but as long as I can do what I love and what God is calling me to do, I don't care. Fame and fortune aren't my goals anyway. Moving on, I never grew out of cartoons, and actually watch American cartoons more than anime. It's a dream of mine to do my own animation project someday, but theatre comes first. Drawing for me is just a creative outlet when I'm not doing a show, however, I'll always love being able to put my imagination on paper.

Here's some of my favorite things :).

Anime: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Miyazaki films, Tekkon Kinkreet
Manga: Rurouni Kenshin and Hana Kimi
American Cartoons: Batman: The Animated Series, Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, Teen Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
American TV Shows: Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, No Reservations, Batman (1966 Adam West), Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
Movies: Death at a Funeral, Noises Off, Secondhand Lions, Treasure Planet, The Paigemaster, Jane Austen films, any version of Treasure Island, almost any Don Bluth movie, most classic Disney movies, The Producers, Newsies, and Muppet Treasure Island.
Books: anything Jane Austen, Artemis Fowl, Jane Eyre
Plays: The Rehearsal, Proof, All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarden, August: Osage County
Superheroes: Batman and Spiderman
Asian Dramas: Young Warriors of the Yang Clan

Art Trades and Requests

I'm pretty much up for anything except yaoi/yuri, naruto, bleach, or death note. PM me!

One of my favourite icanhascheezburger Christmas pics :).

OC Contest :)

So I entered this OC Contest a while back and today found out that my character won first! For those of you who don't keep up with my manga, the character was Yaku from Moriko No Akakonami. He's one of my oldest and most favourite characters, so I'm glad he's getting some notice. :).
On a slightly different note, the art trade I'm doing with Gadriann is actually coming along. It's kind of weird though haha. I'm sure Gadriann won't mind.
So life is pretty good in general. I just want this week to be over so I can just take my finals and leave. I'm getting pumped for Jane Austen's birthday on December 16th! Other than that I'm getting into the Christmas spirit more and more. This time of year is amazing.
here's a pic. I watched Batman Forever last night, which didn't have the Joker, but I'm still in the Batman mood.

I'm beginning to be alive again

So I actually managed to get some art up. We'll see how long this keeps happening. Once Comedy of Errors starts, I don't foresee much free time. I'm still working on my manga, however, and might be able to keep doing that because I don't require the use of a computer. This is going to be a very long few months.

New Style

So, I have decided to make a new style for myself. This doesn't mean my old style will be thrown out the window or anything. I just feel like right now it's a little generic looking. So I'm making a new manga out of this style. However, don't hold your breath, because I don't plan to have pages out for a while. This is due to me exploding with the sudden conviction that I depend on computers far too much to make my art look good. Hence, I'm attempting to do everything by pen, down to the last detail. Okay, so I'll edit with the computer still. Yup. So I'm going to kill myself on this one.
Oh yeah. Side note. Mark Hamill rocks my socks.
So do the Beatles.

Last Day Has Ended

Well it was my last day working at the G______ Playhouse today, appropriately it was pouring and we all got soaking wet loading the last of the scenery into storage and then saying goodbye. I must say, I will miss the people more than the job. It was a little sad, but I'm so happy to be leaving and having a life for a month before school! I already started the cover for my manga and am in the slow and painful process of reading Mansfield Park. I love Jane Austen and am attempting to read all of her novels (I've only actually read Northanger Abbey). Mansfield Park is my least favorite anyway so I probably shouldn't have started with it. Blech. I just hate Fanny.
Anyway, on Facebook a while back there was this list going around of 100 classics most people have only read 6 of. I resolved to read all of them before I was 30. Most of Ms. Austen's novels are there, so I figured I'd just tackle them all. yay. Mansfield Park is killing me.
Yup, so aparently I missed some art thief drama. Soooooo sorry that blew over my head. I believe the term "ignorant bliss" would be appropriate here.
Anywhoo, be looking out for my manga!!!!!
here's a fun pic, thought it was appropriate since my mangas about vampires...

Life is Looking Up

So a few quick things. We got all of our stuff moved in the new house! Mal and I were successfully able to fit everything in our new (and effectively small) room, which is quite the feat. I can't wait until we have everything moved around and organized so our house will feel like home.
Other than that, my theatre job will be over in a week, which should leave me with some ample drawing time. My new manga idea is coming along. A friend from work lent me this vampire encyclopedia, so I am actually doing a lot of research before starting this manga, something I really haven't done before. It's giving me a lot of cool ideas. There are so many interesting vampire species to play around with.
Yup, so I better get going. I'm seeing a play today. ooo check out my newest pic!
here's a fun pic. i hate twilight with a deep passion from my innermost being.
