...it is here! Finally! While in New York, my boyfriend Z and I (he came to visit me there) obtained a a precious thing in a small Korean comic book store- a copy of the all-new live action adaptation of the Deathnote manga.

I have been a fan of this series for several years already, and cosplayed Misa-chan in the first convention I went to. What a dork you say? Well, I've ignored you. Deathnote is an incredibly well-drawn series, and boasts a plot line with no holes, and few loose ends. The characters are cryptic and unpredictable, and the series shines amidst an era where graphic novels are repeated panels and paper-thin people. If you read only one series before you grow up and 'kill' your inner child, let it be this one.

My new multimedia is the live action's trailer, but I've also recently found that there is an anime out, just not yet translated. The dvd Z and I acquired is in Japanese, with english subtitles. I prefer them that way anyhow. ^_~

Also, I was ecstatic to find out that the lead character of Kiro is played by the same kid who was Shyuuin in Battle Royale. He's a very competent actor (dunno his name), and he portrays the troubled youth type very well. I applaud the casting director!! Go and SEE this movie, or the anime, or read the novels! They are drawn by the same artist who drew Hikaru no Go!

Now that I've proved to you all what a dweeb I can be, go see it!! heart

Still in NYC, beau is still bumping up my gold count for me. Thanks beau! >yes, beau wrote this ... pathetic, isn't it??? ... laughs oh well!!!!<

Alright, being artistic as I claim I am, I tend to have mental bursts of energy that occasionally give me an obsessive need to go draw something.
This almost always happens when I am trying to do other things, and haven't spent a good amount of time allowing myself to relax and have fun. In lieu of my most recent artistic splurge (a few days ago), as I was browsing profiles and avoiding classwork, I came across a vibrant profile with a few pictures on it. Most of these were...daring. If you feel you can handle some bold photography, then you go right ahead and visit the page of a Gaian know simply as P.r.e.t.t.y-B.i.t.c.h.. Irregardless of this spectacle, I found one image that stood out, and darned if it didn't need drawing! So here it is (my attempt to have a worthwhile journal and all demanded a decent introduction of course);








The last two are edits I made to further abate my restlessness. Thank you all for sharing my craft through your eyes, lol. It's been fun. ^^ This picture was awarded the honorable 'check plus' from one of my good artsy friends at school.
