Anime Boston 09 is over, and '10 is comin up soon!! i'll be working on redesigning the look and feel of the mascots and helping decide next year's theme.

AB09 went pretty well! I met some really cool people, like Greg and Chris Aryes (voice actors/directors for ADV films) and got to see some old ones that i've missed dearly. (:hug: teh Darcy)
I completely sold out of Tune In: [link] and the framed posted i donated to charity made around $100. So, i was pretty pleased. :D

PortConMaine [link] is next on the agenda! I should have 2 new pieces up before then.
This may be our last con of the year. We are backing out of CTcon and Otakon looks like a shot in the dark with getting a table in time. We may hit a couple more small local ones, like Another Anime Con in Nashua, NH. But no promises.

I'm FINALLY all moved in to my new place back in Maine. It feels good to be home. i'm RIGHT next door to work, so i have a minute and a half walk, rather than an hour and a half drive each way. :heart:

The website is being COMPLETELY revamped! I should have something to show for it at Portcon. But it prolly wont be done until after... >_<

Oh, and please help out with the new poll. i need to figure out what to do for fanart next. i'm kinda burnt out on Bleach and Naruto. :X

I hope you don't mind that I colored this :X Friend tossed it to me, and I couldn't pass it up. If it's not cool with you, I'll take it down :D
[link] My coloured version of your Sasuke Lineart. I really loved it and couldn't help myself.

wow. You are extremely talented. No wonder you sell your work at conventions.
And thanks for the tips on photoshop! I hopefully can get to trying out some more stuff soon.

i know code geass isint on the top of the polls for what you should draw next but trust me, you wont regret it (plus i might die with regret if i dont see your drawing kallen stadfield/kozoki)

95% of teens would cry if they saw the Jonas Brothers at the top of a skyscraper about to jump. Copy and paste this into your signature if you are in the 5% that would shout JUMP ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could buy many of your pieces in the gallery as prints here. Are there going to be prints available on your website, or through dA Prints at all? I'd especially love to get a print of Audiophile, or of Blue II or Arita. Well, just a hopeful comment. I love your stuff.

About the poll you put, I think you should do more Original Content, It's way more impressive and self-improving.

I don't think you have anything else to learn about how to draw, so I think you can permit yourself to continue with originality.

True. But it's nice to take a break and do something different for fun. :dance:
Also, fanart sells better at conventions, and more people notice you when they recognize the characters.
I got my artistic roots deep in fanart, and i like to pay my respects now and again. Besides, i'm still an geek and geeks :heart: fanart. :p

I'm doing mostly original work and commissions nowadays anyway. :work:
Sometimes, i need a break. :D

COME SAY HI!!!
Well, not that I can even draw but I just couldn't support using idea from somebody else without even trying to stay in his context.
I always refused to do fanfiction for the same reason.

I could challenge you on the definition of "g33k" by the way :D

But I understand why fanart sell better, original author does sometime so few art that It's a veritable expedition to find a Patlabor Fanart that isn't crappy.
(2nd reason I wouldn't do fanart, If I can't compensate with better drawing skill I would prefer to be at least original)

Those day when I see how much ripp-off and copy there is in professionnal art/movie/videogame, I can't value anymore if it's harder to come with original idea than to make the product itself.
