Super Bowl XLII!

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 3, 2008, 8:15 PM
As an English gentleman, you might not expect to hear these words from me, but...
GO GIANTS! F*** yeah! The Patriots' cheating ways were punished with defeat in one of the closest and edge of the seat games I've seen in a long time!

Obviosuly, I don't understand the a lot of the tactics and formations, but the NFL.com tactical map, updating in real time, helped me greatly.

The best final quarter I've seen since the Titans vs the Rams!

Also... the Super Bowl is live in the UK at 2am, so it's late night good shit for us!

Right... I'm gonna grab some breakfast now. I've been drinking the Budweiser to get in that USA state of mind.

I love your style! I'll have to try five tone shading myself.
And I totally agree with you about the current state of modern anime and cartoons. You have opened my eyes!

I am, but it's only going to be a minute and a half long because I don't have a team of minions, and I'll probably get bored halfway through like most things I start!

Man, I really love your stuff. It's refreshing to see this style practiced and mastered, ignoring the shift in general anime/manga style these days. I finished White Chamber a few days ago (I've somehow overlooked it for all those years.) and enjoyed it tremendously.

But .. Jagi? Was Jagi little else than an egocentered, traitorous bastard in the end? Raoh's my personal favourite because he's so damn RAW. Although Rei has the most kick-ass fighting style.

Would you ever consider doing one of your awesome artworks featuring final fantasy 7 characters? I would definitely buy one.

=Riatsila:iconRiatsila: Nov 20, 2007, 12:40:17 PM
Dude, I just happened across your page, and I really don't know what to say! I've read some of your journal entries, and I agree with a lot of what you have to say, like on the early days of anime fandom (although I was born in '87, so I pretty well missed out on the best days of the early fandom.). But the first anime I ever remember seeing was the first Galaxy Express 999 movie when I was really little (maybe around 5 or so), and though I didn't know what "anime" was at the time, it's still what I credit to getting me into the genre. I must say, that there are quite a few modern series I do like, but looking back, I see all of my real favorites are from the 80s and 90s.

Wow, all that and I haven't even mentioned that I love your artwork too! ^^;

Hi, I had a look at your gallery and was very impressed. And although I don't totally agree with your stance on modern anime, you do raise some good points.

Saying "real anime" is a vague statement, it's still anime it's just new and just changed, if you don't like any 'a the new stuff can you even say that you like anime anymore?
~HisaReynhart:iconHisaReynhart: Oct 14, 2007, 2:41:07 AM
╬ Sad but true... I´m an anime fan but really the stories are good, but the realization it very... poor? i´m not as good as you I´m learning yet but when I draw I try to my work with a lot of shading ´cause give a lot of movement... more layer of color, more impact will have... it´s almost incomplete... of course i shade different but I still use a lot of shading tones or I try at least... but what is a bunch of fans against money... ´cause it all about that saving money even if it looks crappy...
