I have decided to start some kind of series of drawings that can be tied together as a book or something of that nature. Here are a couple of my first characters.
Hey everyone, I just randomly decided to make this tonight
KIKI! I actually think it turned out pretty good, though its kind of late maybe i'll color it in tomorrow!,
Hayao Miyazaki has announced two new movies coming out in 2013 so I'm kind of excited and all about Ghibli right now. And i still haven't had a chance to watch From Up On Poppy Hill. here's the line up.
"From Up On Poppy Hill"
"The Wind Is Rising"
"The Tale Of Princess Kaguya"
And if you still haven't watched it "The Secret World Of Arrietty".
I thought it was a good idea so bam, next i have a small strip, if i finish it up later tonight i may just post it as an edit add on to this post, till then good night.
Hello everyone it's been a very long time since last i posted, i decided to take a different approach at the way my blog was made and i will mainly now focus on only art, drawings or sketches. I just took a little bit of time to re-design my page, it looks fine but is still a work in progress...
so let me see if i have anything i've work on recently that i can share.
here's a couple i did a lil while ago, the lower one is not complete but i got lazy...
i'll be working on another small project for next time, 'till then good night.

Hello everyone it has been a while since I've decided to post anything mostly for the fact i don't have followers.
I know its kind of a general information forum, but it is about stuff i currently find interesting and today it is THIS
From the Japanese Nintendo web site we have 2 new colors announced for the 3DS. Personally i would have liked the white if it was a launch color and the pink i am considering for my daughter.
Another thing that apparently i had missed was that it is planned that Hulu Plus will also be a feature to come, so for those of us who don't have Netflix as i had covered on a previous post, or would rather watch other current cable TV series then this update is for you.
There was also recently a Metal Gear Solid 3D demo released last Thursday which is very much worth playing. It is the first time i have tried a MGS game and it was very fun. Also there was previously a Resident Evil and Mario and Sonic Olympics demo as well.
There is a whole bunch of other releases and updates but we'll save that for another time.
Secondly The Secret Life of Arrietty came out recently and it very good
as you've noticed i'm a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki so i was not going to miss a chance of seeing this in theaters and i will most likely also buy it when it comes out on dvd.
Also i've been slowly pacing myself through reading Sidooh the manga i'll probably hurry it up though so i can start a new series though, i'll let you know how that goes.
That's all for now till next time. Peace Out!

Today i came home finished watching Pocahontas with my daughter and started googling and found THIS http://www.cubeecraft.com/ its an awesome site where you can print out tons of paper crafts of just about any character from whatever show was ever really popular and a bunch of other characters from wherever else.
my first favorite.
Also i stumbled upon this great site http://www.dannychoo.com/ there is still a ton on it i haven't clicked on but so far it looks like a very cool hub for many things Japan. Obviously if you haven't realized it yet, i love all things Japan.
AND since we're talking about anime i've also got to share Ponyo.
Hayao Miyazaki is One actually my favorite directors of any anime movie. I've seen all of his films and so will my kids. I like to share them with people whenever i can so YOU whomever you might be i'd recommend watching My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Kiki's Delivery Service, and Ponyo too.
And finally i showed my coworker super mario bros on my 3DS and he had no idea that this was possible.
Thank you for dropping by, till next time, g'night.

Hello again, today i wanted to share a bit about Nintendo. Recently they updated their games that could be bought with coins and so i bought Kirby's Dream Land. I haven't played this since i was a little kid and it seemed so hard back then and now i realize how simple it actually was there are only about 5 levels but when you beat it you get the extra game mode with the code Up+Select+A for a little extra fun.
The other games are:
Dr. Mario Online RX for the wii 100 coins
Kirby's Dream Land for the 3DS 100 coins
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for the wii 150 coins
Second thing i wanna share today is PhiliD basicly if you don't have time for the news or reading a newspaper watch this guy he makes it fast and he makes it fun here's his youtube channel sxephil please give it a visit.
Thant's all for tonight maybe tomorrow i'll have something more interesting to talk about.

Hello! Today i wanted to share and talk a little about art so i decided to draw a little something today just so i could share it, and here it is.
Not too bad if i say so myself. Some quick coloring and a generic BG.
On a different note i have been trying to get into manga a little, although watching animated series is great, reading and seeing illustrations can be just as fun. I've been reading a series called "Sidooh" on www.mangareader.net which i chose at random on my 3DS web browser and thus far its been great. Any time i see well drawn manga it makes me want to pull out my sketch pad and just start drawing, and aside from my random rabbit drawing above, here is a few more little random things i drew today as well.
I plan on maybe customizing my blog with my own art but ill do it when i find some more free time.
Going back to Manga here is Sidooh and also my boss had given me a copy of the first and second books from the series No Longer Human i haven't yet started them but i plan too as soon as i'm done with Sidooh.
Well it's getting late so i'll be hitting the sack, so let me know what you think about either your own art or your opinion about mine or if you decide to check out some manga, what are your thoughts about that and perhaps list your favorites i might decide to check them out myself. G'Nite! >_<.
