Ranting about color >_>.....

Since I've been in Kobe I've been rebuilding my marker collection (It just didn't make sense for me to bring all like....150 of them (like the original pokeymanz XD! I choose you! PM142-Brittany Blue!!!!)) especially since most of them were my slowly degrading six year old Prismacolors I'm trying to replace anyway (Prismas and copics have a different base, and don't blend well together so I've had to proceed with caution when replacing things. A simple fade-out to copics isn't working. Despite the fact I like how my Prismacolors smell, they're not nearly as good quality-wise.) I figured not bringing anything but the 15 copics I already had plus my ten or so favorite prismas was probably a good way to force myself into replacing them. Sort of a spartan material enforcing technique.

Currently I don't have enough color to do much 0_0. I keep getting colors I think are pretty but that aren't actually useful (NyooOoooo peacock Bluuuuuue.....So unhelpful, but BLUUUUUUUUE <3 <3 <3 T_T ~sniffles~)

The store that sells them, although a big department store, is somehow a building ninja.
I swear it moves every time. Sannomiya goes from shopping district to red-light district REALLY fast.

I totally saw a new-half bar-girl...dude.... for the first time... They were standing next to the Maid-themed massage parlor girls. O_O;;;;;;;;;

...So I don't go as often as I could. >_>;;;


Things I have done:
I will upload them as soon as I get a scanner. I would just take pictures since I've resigned myself to a scannerless fate, but in my limitless, dazzling brilliance I brought the wrong camera cord T_T

An Oofuri Meme I seriously wish I could post (I actually colored the whole thing too. OMGPONYTA I know. Color. Me...And a whole meme! I used my markers on something not critically important. (And because of that I have to replace a skin-tone marker already. Darn gaysball boys and their...skin. -_-. Why does this sound so bad?
Oh...The 'gaysball' part.
If you haven't already, I would seriously Check out 'Ookiku furikabutte' by Asa Higuchi. Despite the not-as-manly-as-they-could-be-baseball-tears, it's a fantastic series.
I believe Funimation in the US decided to license it recently. I think they're calling it 'Big windup'.
Considering sports anime never gets licensed (Except PoT, but it and Eyeshield are Shonen Jump titles and are therefore cheating) It's done amazingly well. Oofuri is a small monthly title with a one-season anime that managed to beat out many popular Jump and Sunday titles sweeping up many newcomer prizes as well as making it fairly mainstream (rare for sports anime even in Japan.)
I'm proud of Gaysball.
By the way. I'm not-so-secretly a rabid sports manga fan. It's my favorite genre.

Also...Fan Art? Me? YES. I did fan art. Another OMGPONYTARAPIDASH moment. I never do fan art. All my friends identify me as 'the one person who never does fan art artist!' and yet-
I have.It might just be gaysball too. >_> (I was on a role with that meme and got carried away....)
I'll post it when I can post (Gyah this is killing me. I actually have things to post for once T_T). I colored it too.

Colored a bunch of things I uploaded the pencils for already. I'd like to update those.

I did a Seiyuu meme, but it didn't involve me drawing anything. So I'd rather post it with art so that I look less lame.
like, I can just see people being like: "Shikamachu doesn't post for six months and when you do it's a frikken' SEIYUU MEME? Aren't these are all screenshots from google? WTF? Who cares anyway? Who the hell is Miyu Irino? Why does Shikamachu have strange fantasies about him falling in love with Shika's brilliant voice from across a studio during an audition spurring an improvised duet? What the hell kind of fantasy is that anyway? No! No more watching you!"

A bunch of things I'm still in the middle of coloring; including more Tobe (accompanied by strange animals), more Ghosties (Kankurou and Yuuho), Nuns, axe-murderers, and Cat-eared people (another thing I don't do often....ever 0_0. Bad childhood memories are associated with neko-mimi and yet, there they are) and 'Storks' (Which I suppose I've never uploaded anything from before. They're cute. They am haz ur baybez hostage. 0_0.)

All this coming soon to a Shikamachu near you!
お楽しみに！
