Winter Comiket 77 day 2

Today was the DAY! Man it was an experience... here we go

Got my gear set, time to go

:/ ....might never find out

...so yeah

I really don't know what went wrong, but nothings been delivered to me from the Comiket Volunteer Committee.. No postcard, no results package. Appearantly if I didnt recieve the postcard I was to send a notification within ten days or forget about it.
-_-

Still trying though. You must be bored to hell with this stuff unless you have plans to go...
I swear though, next time: Online Registration. And I'll make sure to stay in Japan til I get everything settled.

sigh. Well I guess I can go back to blogging normally. Maybe news will pop up.
Thus ends the tale of a small circle that never was.

I need to find better friends/associates to help me with this registration crap.
My relatives and such were not much help at all. Geeze.


On a brighter note, I can start playing Pokemon Heart Gold again soon. I just stopped playing for a while...just cause. Also we ordered Silver for my brother so we can play together.

Also been playing Need For Speed Underground 2 for Gamecube on the wii. Something made me go out and by Need for Speed Carbon for the wii. Pretty cool game, territory nabbing by winning races. Also has police chases (lota fun) and this crew member system. yeah I know OLD GAME, but new for me cause I just bought it. It was actually still 30 bucks used. What I really wanted was Need For Speed Most Wanted for GC, but unfortunately GAMESTOP had rid of their Gamecube section entirely leaving me no option but to find it online in the future if I still want it.

But yeah. o_-
Still working on the freelance project.
And the Touhou books I might not get to sell at Winter comiket. Sigh. ANyways.

here's a picture of Youmu I drew to break this wall of text:

Anyways, I'll be going down to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow to hang out with my friend who'll most likely be graduating from AIFL this quarter.

...Besides that I dont have much to inspire me anymore.

:/

I've been using that emote alot. it's pretty much describes how I feel now.

The weathers gotten nice and a tad bit cooler here in Florida, but might just be the effects of Hurricane...Ida? was it? passing by going up the gulf. No storm here, just lots of wind.

boring.

:/

k the end, cya next time~

Revolutionnn!!!??

I thought about starting some type of group-
like a group of comic artists or others that want to do stuff in say Japan
like go to Comic Market or other Doujinshi fairs but are incapable of doing so
on their own :3

Like, a big half foreign doujin circle. yeah thats it.

Got the idea when someone asked me questions about Comiket on facebook.
If we got a good mix of people- Those who know no Japanese, Those who know little Japanese, those who know a fair amount of Japanese (like me), and those who know perfect Japanese- we'd be able to get past that "its in Japan" barrier.

I'd do it on my own, but I dont know very many other Japanese artists in person or well enough ;_;




...oh yeah, I applied for comiket 77 by the way.

so yup, just a thought for now.

hey! wanna have your art in a NY gallery? + VN pro

APW gallery in New York is doing a "call for submissions" event
called "Sketch it out" Which is asking any and all artist around the world
to participate. Whats cool about this?- Sign up, and you're guarenteed 5 pieces
into the gallery for the event. ^^ I thought about it a bit then I was like,
"why shouldn't I?" It's a great chance to have your art seen, in a gallery no less o.o

Well the sign up price is $50 for 5 pieces max, the deadline is the 28th.
EDIT: You can also put your 5 pieces up to sell at the gallery too :D So your work wont just be for show ^^

...there's actually a laundry list of contests I've built up to enter..wahhh


other news:
I have been working on a (kinetic) Visual Novel! I'm making "Can't just Add Water" (thats the short story I wrote, You've seen my Allison character in my gallery) in to a visual novel~ well, actually I'm almost done! Just a few more sprites to spice it up, couple back grounds and the CG's. i got all the coding and typing crap done ^^
If you're a good friend of mine I may share a WIP.... or I'll post some WIP images up soon.


I have 4 weeks left in the quarter, My demo is right about finished being animated. Once I finish that I'll post a rough animation video here or on youtube and then start on the inking and coloring and effects and whatever else.

XD

Oh, I'm going to megacon! Coming? Comment! See you there!!

End of January- list of projects :D

Well, its almost February and feels like I've been doing a ton of work, but it feels like I havent even gotten close to what I had to do.

Like, I've only done two Li updates. Or was it one? ><;;;

Its hard to be a creative overflowing with ideas.

ANyways what I HAVE been working on-

My Demo Reel- A high pace 1 minute animtion- full colored. so far- er, 5% done? overall. about 15% of animation done. Gotta get going on it this weekend.

New 2009 Comic Project Pending Title: "世界で一番悲しい歌"
er, the translation makes it sound cheesy so I'll choose an english title soon.
But what it is- its gonna be a Japanese stand alone comic- Three chapters total, approx 20-30 pages per chapter (very rough estimate).
WEll I'm not gonna give anything away yet, but its gonna be a comic I want to publish either by myself or by some other means. I may post previews or the first chapter up, but I want this to be a print comic existance ^^
My goal right now is 2 pages per day which I have been keeping up for the most part.
...I dont know why I think of these ridiculous projects when my hands are already so full.

and uhh commissions and side projects and other stuff.

I ran out of stuff to write, so I'll end here :3
