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 :).

My Adventures In Washington DC

I have a few Otaku friends who aren't from America so if you read my title and wondered what Washington DC was, it's America's capital. You probably already know that but I wanted to tell you in case you didn't. Anyway, right next to the White house is a long street with a bunch of Meuseums on it called "The Mall". Why it's called that I have no clue, but anyway, that's where we sent most of our day. However, we started our going to the Holocoust Meuseum which is about a mile or so away from the Mall. We went there first because if you got there early enough you get free tickets to see the main exhibit. That meuseum was one of the best, and ironically the most depressing, museums I have ever been to. The main exhibit took up four or three floors of the building. It took us through the various styages of the Holocoust and all the atrocities that occourred. There were many vivid, disturbing pictures and even a model of the captured Jews being led to the gas chamber, then taking thier clothes off, then getting asphyixiated in the gas chambers, then being creamated. It was so heart wrenching and thought provoking. I started wondering how one human being could ever, ever do that to another human being. Thw holocoust was a very good example about what can happen when we start de-valuing human life. It was certianly an eyeopener.
Well, enough of the depressing stuff! After that we went the the Smythsonian Museum of Natural History. That was amazing. We saw tons of stuffed mammals, ranging from girrafes to vampire bats. We saw a small insect zoo and some butterflies too. My favorite section was the gems and minerals section. I have always had this facsination for shiny, sparkly things in pretty colors lol. Then we saw Prehistoric Monsters of the Deep in Imax 3D. That was a ton of fun! Basically it took up through the life (theroetical life) of a small water dinosuar and the dangers and wonders it encountered on it's migration. I usually hate 3D but that one was pretty awesome ^-^. All I did was take my glasses off when the big carnivourous sea dinosuar with the big teeth came around.
Well that pretty much sums it up. As for today, I was in play practice all day, so I just wanted to get on quick now before I started my chores. Hope to visit you all and comment on anything you might post later. Oh ya, I put up one f my fav. chobits pics for you all, enjoy!
have fun otaku-ing!

The Remainder of Easter Break

It's my last day of break today *sigh* I really wish it wasn't over. I was having such a relaxing time! A lot of good things happened, I got a lot of schoolwork done, although I didn't complete my Internship paper, which is consequently the longest one. In my defense it was break, and I had already done two other reports. Also, I just felt like goofing off which isnt exactly the most legitamite reason but it was the biggest reason lol.
So I went to my music teachers wedding yesterday to sing in the girls chior, which was so much fun . I got to hang out with a lot of girls that I usually don't, so I guess that added to my socilization a bit. Anyway we sang Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus. Ave Maria was sung at the very beginning of the ceremony before my teacher came out, thank the lord! That wasn't our best song, but anis Angelicus sounded awesome and that was after they were married so it was really the only song that mattered. Then we got to go to the reception with awesome food! lol. So my day yesterday was a fun one.
Anime wise my sis and I found a new one ! Anyone ever hear of the Tales of Symphonia game? Well, my sis found an name for it. So far we only have four epidoes, but we're looking out for more. Anywhoo, we were estatic!! We just discovered the game and are playing it with my friend who acctually knows what he's doing lol. So finding the anime was pretty awesome. I advise you to check it out if you can find it .
In other anime news, Zuko Sayonara Zetsubou Episode 5 hasn't come out yet, I'm going on Zetubou Sensie withdraw lol.It's a bummer .

Drawing wise, I have like 6 new pictures to post. And believe me, they would be posted by now HAD OTAKU NOT PUT UP THAT MORONIC SUBMITTING LIMIT!!!!!! Well look out for them as the pop up ONE A DAY.
thats frustrating, but they don't have a similey face for frustrated, I suppose the Otaku people figured no one would need it....I think the missed something.

Oh ya! guess who's singin the opening for the Olympics this year in Bejing?!? I don't know ifg any of you are S.H.E. fans but I happen to be a big one and was estatic to find out they would be singing!!!!! Ahhh! I'm so excited! I had t put this pic up in honor of that

My Easter Break Thus Far

Well, I've been having a really fun Easter break, excluding the three papers I have to write. But I won't jabber on about them. Yesterday we came back form the cabin, but I've been hanging out with firends and doing homework since then so I haven't had the time to Otaku. Hey! Has anyone noticed my intro pics!? I finnally got them on- courtesy of DaFeather who graciouslly told me how to put them up . I also acctually got a fan art up, I posted it like a second ago so please feel free to check it out. I'm really braindead right now due to the homework thing so I can't really think of anything else to say. I hope to go around and visit everyones sites and hopefully I'll come back tommorow with more to say.
have fun otaku-ing!

The Cabin


Well, Easter was so much fun, it's always wonderful to be with the family again ^-^. However, now we are going up to our granparents cabin for a mini-vaction with my aunt and cousin, which promises to be so much fun. I packed a bunch of sappy romantic movies . Believe it or not, I actually gotsome inspiration to work on Moriko No Akakonami again! I was really happy to have that back, I rally do love all the characters and story. Acctually, Yaku, Moriko, and Amaya were three characters I made up before I was even into anime. So thier, like ancient and have gone through a lot of looks and stories over the years ^-^. So I'm happy to revisit tht manga. I also hve a TON of fan art to do and am determined to buy some 8 by 11 watercolor paper so I can post my inked works up in Otaku. So I need to go get ready and packup. My sis is bringing her laptop so maybe I'll have time to post.
