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

Art Trades and Requests
I'm pretty much up for anything except yaoi/yuri. PM me 
.
The title is a Spamalot reference in case anyone was dying to know.
So I'm trying to be a little more active on this site and keep up with everyone more. I've been on twice in like 4 days so that's a start, right? I'm hoping to get a few more art pieces up as well, particularly for the Shonen Beat/Jump and the mascot challenges. :).
Life is life. I'm job searching for both summer and next year, and the theaters I have applied too have at least all contacted me, which is positive. Still no definite offers yet, but I'm glad the fish are biting.
I recently discovered Dark Shadows thanks to my newfound love, Netflix. Oh Netflix, how I adore you! Where else can I find such cinematic wonders as Two Headed Shark Attack, Dragon Crusaders, and SSSSSSS (yep thats actually a legit title). Seriously though, Netflix does have some awesome stuff like The Secret of Kells, Eerie Indiana, and Merlin. Although I watch Netflix instead of drawing in my downtime nowadays. I need to combine the two. The problem is finding a way of drawing while also not missing any important bits of the shows, like the true identity of that mysterious English cousin who randomly shows up on the mansion doorstep.
I am excited for Easter. Easter egg painting is always a big sha-bing with my dad's side of the family. It'll be nice to have some down time :).
And that's it. Here's a pic. when my toilet breaks down, I wish this was my problem.
have fun otaku-ing!
I submitted art huzzah!
I also had time to check out some new art, there's some really neat stuff that's been posted lately :).
So Wednesday I have to go back to normal school, which will be, at the very least, a change of pace from crazy theatre camp. I'm excited to start drawing again, I really haven't started. I've tried but I'm in this lull. I think maybe having only gen-ed classes will give me a need for a creative outlet. But I have a ton of things floating around in my head that are just dying to get on that sheet of paper. Maybe a comic haha.
Yep so things Kasey has discovered over the course of 3 months and highly recommends:
Scott Pilgrim
Lackadaisy Cats (Amazing webcomic)
Gummy Bears
Rifftrax
Angels in America
Sarah Ruhl
Yep :). Hopefully some fan art on the first two will come out soon.
MEEP! SO CUTE!

Hello All, or rather, Goodbye.
Because my semester this time round is a 7 day week, 7am-10pm each day monster, where only 2 computers are available for internet, I will be taking a forced 3 month break from the Otaku. There will be a small vacation for me in November, so hopefully I will have time to get on then. Other than that, you guys won't see me around here until December 19th. :(. Hopefully the O won't forget me! I'll miss you guys, have a great 3 months!
Have fun otaku-ing!
Well just got back from a summer vacation up to my cousin husband's cabin, and am now back and working again. Most of what I have to do is summer reading from the theatre school I'll be attending next semester. I've got to read and buy 13 plays, pick 4 monologues (1 Shakespeare, 1 classical, and 2 modern/contemporary) to work on over the summer, and pick 2 songs (1 slow and 1 fast). So much to do! I also have to get a physical done before I go, which sucks because the doctor's office is one of my least favorite places in the whole world to be. And as an extra special treat, I'm switching from my pediatrician to a big girl doctors office, so I have to fill out all this paperwork. Yay. Long story short, life is a tad stressful right now, but I have all but one of my plays read and bought so can budget out the other stuff over August. The trick is to just take this one day at a time.
On a more positive note, my sister and I have discovered Mystery Science Theatre 3000, which is keeping us immensely entertained and taking a lot of stress of the brain. :). I highly recommend this hilarious series! It's 11 seasons, bonus episodes, and a movie, so it will keep you entertained for a while.
On another positive note, I have a nice vacation to look forward to at the end of August. I hope to get all this summer work done before then.
here's my pic! How true it is.

My lovely siblings and I are going to see The Last Airbender tonight :D. Apparently it didn't get great reviews, which is kind of down-heartening, but I still am excited to see it anyway! I figure even if the movie is a total disappointment, I still have the entire series to watch anytime I want. As long as this film is popular enough for a second one so Toph can come in, I'm happy.
In other new exciting things coming out news a new Artemis Fowl book comes out in August :D. I really am way too old for that series, but when you get hooked on it, your hooked. Really, how crud like Twilight becomes a pop culture sensation while imaginative, awesome things like Artemis Fowl remains an obscure piece of literature, I'll never know.
Yup so in other life news, I have three more arts to post up, one being one of my requests. . . I should really be faster with those things.
I'm not sure what these are, but I want one!
have fun otaku-ing!
