Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Other places to find me:
Anime-Planet: KebaFox
Toyhouse: KebaFox
Art Fight: KebaFox
Tumblr (kind of inactive): kebasirota

It's Tuesday... Did You Remember Your Livestream? [OFF]

If you're feeling fat 'n' sassy (or even if you're not), join me!

I was thinking about livestreaming tonight around 9 Central. Who wants in? If you do, would you rather I use JoinMe or Picarto? JoinMe is more user-friendly (on both ends), but Picarto allows sound. Voting starts... now.

Stuff I can do:
Work on the super-long overdue "Ask Us" pages
That Naruto comic that I've been kicking around forever
Inking/coloring Challenge prizes
Maybe something new

Yes, I totally just modified an old post.

Thank you TDE and Toya for stopping by!

Drawing Magical Girls

I have a bunch of old OCs that I feel like drawing, but I can't seem to find the right references to draw them. These OCs are a team of magical girls. The problem is that there are six of them. When I search for pictures, the most that I can come up with is five per picture.

Even if I draw them as regular (un-transformed) girls, I'm still struggling to come up with a picture of six that looks just right.

Am I looking in the wrong places for references (Google and Tumblr)?

If any of you people could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. They don't have to be full body shots either.

Thanks in advance.

Update: Thanks for all the responses, guys! I think I have some ideas.

Friday (I'm in Livestream) [OFF]

Who's up for me doing one? I'm going to try it on Picarto this time if I can get it to work. That way, there will be sound and I can let you hear my new demos. Of course, there will be drawings. Hopefully, I can start between 6 and 7 CST.

Update: I'm starting this now. Let me know if it works. Let's Picarto!

Update part deux: Well, the livestream is over. Thanks to Kyra and TDE for stopping by!

After the Surprise Hiatus

I'm back after being away from my computer for about 48 hours. I'm surprised the withdrawal hasn't made me contort into knots. Death Note references are soooo last decade. Who am I kidding? This is going to get personal ...

Scatterbrained

I'm going to jump around a lot in this post. Most paragraphs won't have anything to do with each other.

I just created a PaintBerri account. My name there is "Keba". I did a little doodle, and it's kind of ugly.

I also recently got a Picarto. I'm KebaSiRota over there. I'll try to do a livestream soon. It may or may not work out because my upload speed isn't the greatest. And I don't have a complete grasp of how to use it.

Since I accidentally posted it on this World and corrected that without updating, my latest chapter of Survival Instincts has gone unnoticed. Let's fix that.

Speaking of Fiction Feedback Central, no one else has posted anything. I check it every once in a while, but no one besides me has posted.

I finished two anime within the last two days. One was Yu Yu Hakusho, and the other was Baccano!. Coincidentally, both of the aforementioned anime have similar plot elements to my stories. That was not intentional. I had those ideas BEFORE I saw those series. Just wanted to make that clear.

My premium subscription to FUNimation's site is expiring in 20 days. If I watch six episodes of anime per day, I will have watched everything I set out to watch on the site. I can't believe I'm going to dedicate two to three hours for the next 20 days watching anime. Then again, I'm under-employed and currently lacking inspiration to draw/write/play guitar.

The FMAB DVDs I ordered came in. I was expecting them to come on the 15th, but they arrived yesterday. That's two days after I ordered them. But I'll have to put of watching them for the next 20 days. Refer to the previous paragraph.

Here's a weird little piece of news: I'm playing Pokemon Yellow. I restarted the game because I'm rethinking my strategies on how to train my Pokemon. And I want to exploit a glitch to catch Mew. Yes, it can be done. And I'm gonna do it.
