Journal Entry


As many of you know, Anime Expo is coming up this July (yay!) and I've got a table there this year again. I've been wanting to do some more anime-styled art. Probably not entirely anime-styled, but definitely more influenced than the stuff I usually do. I want to do that because I feel somewhat guilty selling so much non-anime styled art in the alley. Although no one's ever really complained. Still....

Anyway, for those of you who like anime and frequent the artist alleys, is there any particular type of art you'd like to see? I do NOT sell fanart, so please don't list shows or characters. But if there are any general themes you'd like to see (like ninjas or Asian dragons or big fluffy creatures or people killing each other with katanas, blah blah, etc.) I'm all ears. Just keep them general rather than specific please.

-----

I want to thank everyone who's been voting in my polls. I've found many of them to be quite eye-opening and educational, and they're always fun for me. I appreciate all your input, both the people who comment and the people who lurk and just vote. It's all good. Thanks!

I saw Forbidden Kingdom yesterday.... It was nice to see Jet Li fighting Jackie Chan in one fight, but as for the rest, um.... :(

I miss the glory days of Jet Li in the 90's. Once Upon a Time in China (the ladder sequence at the end!!!), Tai Chi Master, Fist of Legend. Aaah. Now those were cool martial arts flicks.

-----

And finally, in case you haven't noticed, I'm running a Rurouni Kenshin fanart contest again like I've done every summer since 2004. If you're a Kenshin fan, or if you know of one, or hell, if you're just bored and looking for something different to draw, please check it out. [link] And if you wouldn't mind helping to publicize it by either posting a link or just faving the news article I submitted, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Well, you are good at details and atmosphere. Mysterious angst-ridden dudes will suffice :)

Yay! Well, I'm currently working on a pic that fongmingyun suggested. Dude with wings. I don't know how hot he'll be, but definitely dark and angsty, I suppose. :-P

I don't frequent there... but a tip I've noticed, people tend to really like seeing realistic art of the classic anime character type with wolf/cat ears and tail kind of art... it really feels anime... even if it is totally realistically drawn. Other than that, just Japan in general is a theme that would work ... China too probably.

Yeah, I figure if I do Asian-themed stuff, I at least won't have to feel guilty, even if I do it in a non-anime style.

hm... if you want to do something really out there, you could do squirrels fighting each other with katanas and have them dressed as samurai lol
