For those who asked in my last post since I talked about the 2nd live-action Death Note Movie, there are only TWO movies. Like I said, these 2 movies cover the entire Death Note series from start to finish. The 2nd movie totally completes the series. The 2nd movie, in my opinion, was a LOT better than the first. Glad you guys liked the pictures too! I couldn’t get over how much the actor looked like L and did the mannerisms of the L character perfectly.
So today, a reporter from our local newspaper is coming to my apartment to interview me about my artworks and is going to have an article about me! She was really interested in the whole anime style and wanted to ask me questions about that too since there’s a big art community in this area but it’s mostly fine arts and very little illustration. She’ll be here at 1:30pm and said that she wants me to draw while she asks me questions and takes pictures of me. Nothing more distracting than that when trying to draw! lol! I know when I did the workshop at the NY Anime Fest, the photographer kept snapping pictures non-stop and that was pretty distracting. This will be a lot more laid-back though and the lady was really nice so I’m pretty excited and pretty nervous.
I seem to be getting back into watching anime again…Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is what I’ve dived into again. I looooooove the way this show is animated. The characters eyes…LOVE and the animation itself is so smooth and flowing. It’s not like some animes where it’s choppy, this one is drawn so well and I just love the style. It’s very CLAMP since the characters are so elongated and thin…they look…graceful. lol! I guess that’s the best way I can describe it. I also enjoy some of the characters trying to say “Lelouch.” The character in the picture below with the green eyes, Suzaku, that voice actor can’t say Lelouch worth beans…it’s kinda like, “Leerouco”.
Most of the other voice actors can say it pretty well but I guess there’s just too many “L’s” in his name for most Japanese to pronounce.XD Although I commend them for trying...heck in Inuyasha, they completely changed Kirara's name to Kilala just so the English voice actors could say it!
Thanks to everyone who checked out my Naruto parody comic! And yes, I purposely made the ending Looney Tunes/Animaniacs-eque since I have a guilty pleasure in incorporating Warner Brother’s into anime pieces.
Anyway, here’s a link in case you haven’t seen the it yet:

So, I spent all of Saturday doing nothing but watching movies! lol! I told myself since I finished the Naruto comic, I was going to treat myself to a day of movies and I wouldn’t feel guilty about it! I tend to not watch flicks because as I’m sitting there I feel as if I should be working on something. So I ended up watching, August Rush (the rhapsody piece played at the end of that made me cry is was so amazing), Enchanted ( a movie I’ve been wanting to see and it was very cute), The Other Boleyn Girl (I had read the book and downloaded the movie…got a perfect DVD quality too even though it’s still in theaters…>_>), the 2nd Death Note Movie (for those who don’t know, it’s a the 2nd live-action flick and people have asked this but these 2 movies are NOT a new story…it follows the manga/anime from beginning to end. The 2nd movie completes the series. The actor who plays L…my gawd is he amazing. It’s like the plucked him right out of the manga!), and last but not least, I watched the first 4 episodes of Prince of Tennis (I had NetFlixed the series and I’m glad I never BOUGHT this series because they only put 4 episodes per disk?! WTF?! Rip-off!!! Hence why I NEVER buy the American box sets. Buy the Japanese box sets and they’ll fit 12 episodes per disk and they’re dirt cheap as well!). So yes, it was a movie-rriffic day!
I took a bunch of screenshots of L from the 2nd Death Note movie so you can see for yourself how much the actor looks like L. The actor sure did his homework to get the mannerisms and such exactly like the L character. I took a lot of screenies but I’ll only share some...but since we're only allowed one picture per post I collaged some of them together. More can be seen on myOtaku site:
In case you didn’t notice…theme change! Woot! It’s by one of my fave DA artists, Heise…I had bought her artbook and this is one of my fave pieces of hers. Her artworks are full of bishies!
lol!
I finished my Naruto parody comic! Some people have already seen it and I appreciate those who have already done so! The comic is very short and a fast read so I’d appreciate those who haven’t checking it out!

And with my last post about my friend, Tyler asking me out on a date, I got some pretty good comments. Baka no Hanyou’s made me burst out laughing:
“god, FINALLY you go out with one of them. It was like watching a bad shoujo manga. I just kept wondering how long it would take...”
lol!
lol! But we went out last night to a Japanese restaurant and we both sat at the hibachi table. It's always fun watching them to their little tricks and stuff...our chef though at one point was doing tricks with an egg and he accidentally flung it and it broke on the table. lol! Luckily, no one was sitting there but his face was pretty funny and then he says, "Oh no, next time you come back here I may be gone. They fire me over broken egg!" Heehee! Cute in that Japanese accent and he was kidding of course but I don't often see the chef's make mistakes.XD The food was yummy and then Tyler came back to my place and we watched a funny Chinese horror movie called, Mr.Vampire. It was so funny...we had BOTH the subbs and subbs on and it was hilarious how much they didn't match. So, the night went well and we'll be having another date next week.
Thanks to those who went and checked out my new drawing! The actual comic will be uploaded by Friday. I’m done with it really but want to wait to upload it till the weekend. In case you missed the colored cover then please check it out, thanks!

A lot of big things have happened to me this past week. The main one has to do with my job…but in a good way it will affect me. One of my supervisors put in her 2 week notice (she’s quitting because her husband got a better job and she’s going to work elsewhere) and I was thinking of possibly applying for her job. Well, then my boss calls me into his office and sat me down pretty much ASKING me to apply for the job because he wants me as a supervisor. That made me feels special but he stressed that it’s not guaranteed I’ll get the position but I think he only said that because he can’t “promise” people the position since anyone can apply for it…but the fact that he cornered me and asked me to speaks volumes. I guess the day my supervisor put in her 2 week notice he had told another super that he hoped I would apply for it.XD It’ll be good because it’ll get me more money plus it’ll be something different. It’ll be weird though…being the supervisor to people older than me. Only one other person in our department is younger then I am. I don’t think anyone will care though since I get along with everyone.^_^
The other big thing is that my best friend, Tyler, that I talk about quite often in my posts asked me out on a date…like, a date date. It took me a sec when he asked me to quite put into terms that he wants to start a romantic relationship with me. I said yes, of course, I hope things work out since he is my best friend already and he already knows me so well, and vice versa. I think he decided to ask me since when I started dating that guy Boots (as short lived as it was) I think it made him a little jealous.
Picture of the Day comes from Code Geass:
Well, I didn’t get the Naruto comic done like I thought I would. I just didn’t have the time. I did upload the cover art though! Well, I wanted to put the cover art without the text and everything in my fan art gallery and then the actual comic part would go in the fan manga section. I colored this all in one day and was going to complete the comic but my back is sore from being hunched over this drawing for so long. lol! So, if you could please take a look and comment on this, I’d be ever-so appreciative:
Linky-poo
What I’m wondering now though is, they only allow one drawing every 24 hours…does that count fan manga pages as well? Because I want to upload the entire thing at once…not a day between each page.>_< Maybe I’ll ask Adam on his blog and see if he answers.
Whelp, keeping this short since I just want people to go check out the drawing…even though it’s Tuesday and not too many people are around on Tuesdays but meh! I have Mondays off so that’s why I can get my drawings done on off-ball days.
