   I'm an enemy of the mod's!
What the...!?!?
Here's the deal:
Last night, I submitted 4 new original pics (which I'd like you to check out, by the way, if you have the time that is).

But if you were to check out my portfolio at the moment, you'd see I only have 3 new pieces of artwork now.

"Why?", you may be asking.
Because one of the mod's deleted it!

Don't get me wrong, I think that the art here should be monitored.
BUT....I don't think this piece was offensive at all!!!
Considering this site allows artists to submit disgusting, perverted pics of things like Sasuke molesting Naruto, I'd say MY art is fairly tame by comparison, wouldn't you?

Here's a link to the piece that I tried to submit last night and got deleted. If any of you find it offensive, I won't push to re-submit it. Tell me, what's your opinion? Here's the link: THIS is offensive?
(By the way, please don't flip through my photobucketcom account, OK? Just use it to view the pic. Some of pics in my account are surprises I want to save for later.)
In case you're wondering what the pic is of, it's another one of my ghosts for "Ghost Hunter" (I've submitted like 20 of them since June). This guy (as you can tell) died during open-heart surgery.
Aside from the obvious exposed heart along with the forceps and a surgical needle or two, I don't see what the problem is.

Considering the kind of dirty, unintelligent, distasteful smut that's submitted here on an almost daily basis, I find this all rather unfair.
I mean, not only is it far from the worst art (content-wise) submitted on this site, but it's not even the worst art I'VE drawn! My ghost characters like the axe-wielding ghost, "Nail-bed", "Nives" and "Wicked Sid" were WAY more violent then this piece!

Hmph! You see my point?
If I have a problem with the moderators blipping my pics, who am I supposed to go to? I'm obviously not used to getting my pics deleted, so what am I supposed to do to get a second-look by the mod's?
Feh, they sent me a crappy "deletion notice" message that said my artwork was considered "offensive". They didn't even include any logical or artistic comments on why they deleted it!

*sigh*, oh well, we'll just see how it turns out from here, I guess.

In other news, our favorite Elvin master of the Prismas has submitted a new pic. That's right, Lindsey-chan submitted another piece of her wonderful art! You know what I want you to do. :D

Alright everybody, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yo everybody, how's it going? ^_^

How was your Halloween? Mine was OK, I guess. I stayed home and did homework.
.......................
On second that, maybe it wasn’t OK. -_-'
*sigh*, whatever, not like there was much else to do.

I wanted to have some special artwork of my characters in their Halloween costumes done by now, but drawing during last week was OUT OF THE QUESTION as you know (please see yesterday's post).
I've been relatively uninspired lately, and I don't know why. I've got a couple pictures done and scanned, I just need to do the tedious and boring job of removing the stray-lines in MS Paint (I don't have a better system to do it in! I can't afford one! ToT).

I may still do the Halloween costume pics despite the fact Halloween's over. If I do, would you like me to run the costume ideas by you so I can get your commentary?
Or would it be better to leave it as a surprise?
Hmmmmmmm...you decide. ^_^

Speaking of Halloween, all you Home Star Runner junkies need to check out the new Halloween toon on the web site! Just click the link to check it out: Taco-Man came by….
This year, it's a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" type deal. That should make the cartoon worth playing through several times! Have fun!

Alright everybody, that's all for today. I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, and I'll visit your sites later tonight after I finish my homework.

Before I go, here's a fairly bloody, but AWESOME piece of fan-art for Resident Evil 4. This was done by an artist named Destinyfall:

I'll tell you right now that the actual game isn't nearly this gory, so don't worry about it. This was just the artist's particular choice of style.
This pic also has some major flaws in its design. The artist didn't have a very good concept of balance. The left-side is brimming with awesome action, but the right-side looks empty and vacant, save for the one lone cultist. Plus, the church windows are bland and have a bad combination of colors.
But the piece isn't without its good points. Though the blood is excessive (for my taste, at least), it's very well done. She also did an amazing job on the massive crowd of angry zombie villagers on the left. You can see their culminated insanity in their distant faces as they brandish their axes, knives, pitch-forks, trowel-blades, hand-scythes, and any other of the assorted things they enjoy slaughtering you with.
Oh, and if you're wondering, that is in fact Dr. Salvador getting a hot-lead lobotomy from Leon. Unfortunately for him, the good Doctor will be up and chain-sawing again in no time! >=D

   Happy Halloween!
Oh...man...last week was the most hectic week EVER!!!! @_@

Here's what our crazy teachers were assigning (and why I haven't updated since last Wednesday or so):
-First, we had several middle-term (somewhere between "long-term" and "short-term") projects to do. You know, stuff that they assign over a week or so?
That included a photography project in Art, a drawing project in English, among several others.
-Those were assigned ON TOP OF Quarterly testing, since it's the end of the first quarter. Quarterlies a basically a mini-version of semester exams. Though they weren’t half our grade, they still counted a lot.
-On top of Quarterlies, my teachers assigned a lot of their normal testing! I was studying for 2 or 3 tests A NIGHT!!! X_x
-With all that extra stuff, you'd think the teachers would at least lighten up on the home-work, right? WRONG! They assigned even more regular homework the usual!

Ugh! I'm so glad I'm finished with all of that (though I've got a Chemistry project due Monday).
Oh well, at least we've got Friday off this week. ^_^

I'm feeling a smiiiiiiiidge better then I was on my last post, if you're wondering. My family’s still a pain in the rear, Mrs. Mitchell's still being a #@*$%! (More on that later), Josh hasn't been able to do a manga-run in 4 weeks, but it's the same-old same-old.

My only comfort recently has been Resident Evil 4. *caresses game-packaging* I love you so much, yes I do.
*ahem*, anyway, if anyone's interested, I took this weekend to spend some quality-time with RE4. Right now, I'm in the castle over-looking the village that's swarming with crazed, semi-zombiefied, parasite-infected, homicidal Satanist cultists (now do you see why RE4 gets your heart racing!? :) ).
I won't spoil anything for you, but over the weekend I entered the castle, met Salazar, fought an "El Garrador" (scary!), and found out who the 'Third-party' is. I ended Saturday night with...something that happened to Luis. I won't give it away, but it was sad. (*sniff* Damn you, Saddler!)

Are any of you interested in finding out more about RE4? If you're not, I'll go ahead and stop my banter about it.
Just tell me if I start boring you to death, OK?

Alright everyone, I'll see you tomorrow.



Resident Evil 4 is now available for PS2! Though I highly suggest the Gamecube version over the PS2 version, I understand that some of you poor souls don't have a Gamecube (you have my pity, God bless). But now, if all you have is a PS2, you'll be able to experience the bone-chilling, spine-tingling, plagas-zombie outbreak horror at the minor expense of slightly duller graphics! And to make up for that, they've added 6 new chapters where you can play as the one and only Ada Wong! THE PERFECT HALLOWEEN GIFT FOR YOURSELF!!!
Sorry, *dons Wallace accent* I'm just crackers about Resident Evil 4! ~_'

   Hey everybody.

Not much to post about today. I just wanted to let you all know I was still alive.

I’m really sorry about that last post there. I was just really pissed (for obvious reasons) at the time. I kind’a needed to let off some steam.

In case you're wondering, things have been pretty much going down the crapper since my last post. I won't pitter-on about "why" at the moment, but if you're one of the few who honestly cares to hear then I'll post about it sometime soon.

*sigh*, sorry to be so much of a downer right now. School assignments, quarterly testing, my family and the hormones are all ganging up on me right now.

Later this evening, I'll make sure to visit your sites and comment.
Oh! And if you've submitted some art you'd appreciate me seeing then tell me, and I'll go check it out the next time I'm on.
Right now, I gotta' let my brother on. -_-'

OK everybody, I'll see you soon.
If you could, please send me just little prayer if you could spare it. Please pray for Rosa (Vankala 86) as well (she lost her sketch-book; something no artist should ever have to loose).

   Well, to put it bluntly, I had a fairly shitty day today. Sorry for the language, but I think you'll agree...

Several small things contributed to today's shit-itude, such as the massive amount of homework I have and just basic long-winded drudgery through a slow-moving day.
But the cherry on top was what happened about an hour ago in my 4th block class, Principles of Business.
If you didn't know already, we have assigned seats in that class (it's in the computer-room, by the way), and I have to sit with several jerks and dumb-asses. The worst are Taylor and Tatiana. Taylor is a foul-mouthed faggot who comes into class on Monday bragging about how much liquor he drank and how many girls he fucked over the weekend (I'd bet money that he's lying, but weather he's lying or telling the truth, it's still stupid). He's an absolute idiot that's always got something mean or stupid to say.
Tatiana is a self-absorbed condescending bitch that's mean for the sake of being mean, and just down-right dumb. She thinks her insults are sooooooooooo clever. *Feh*

Anyway, the teacher in that class is Miss Mitchell. She's far from the best teacher in the world, let's just leave it at that.
The good side to that, however, is we can goof-off with the computers once we finish her half-baked assignments that she gives us.
So, we're goofing off with the computers, and since we have to stay in our areas and I can't think of anything fun to do on my computer, I'm standing behind Taylor watching the person next to him play a game. Tatiana and Taylor start spitting out insults, but it's nothing different then their day-to-day shit I'm used to. When we get to a pause, Taylor turns to his little buddies and goes, "Hey, y'all wanna' see sumthin' funny?" (keep in mind that Taylor is sitting in a chair, and I'm standing behind him in-between him and the person he's next to).
At that, he turns around and punches me square in the nuts.
You read that right. He punched me square in the crotch.
This little bitch pulled the lowest trick in the book.
Everybody busted out laughing, and I nearly doubled-over from the shearing pain all we guys know about.

Now here's the really twisted part:
Taylor starts flinging insults at me again along with all his little turdlet followers, and I tell them to fuck-off.
Miss Mitchell turns around and starts pissing at me to watch my language.
I ask her if she saw what happened, and Taylor goes, "It was an accident!".
Naturally, his little turdlet friends back him up, and Miss Mitchell believes them over me.

What the fuck is this!? Miss Mitchell is now officially the laziest dumb-ass teacher at school!
I asked her if she even cared if he hit me in the balls, and she said if I was hurting, I should "go outside & scream or something".
So, not only is Taylor allowed to cuss all class-period long and I get in trouble for being angry after being punched in the nuts, but he can also punch me in said balls without getting in trouble!?

I should have fucking kicked him in the jaw! I seriously regret that I didn't now that it's over!
I always regret stuff like this! When I was bullied as a little kid, I always regretted not fighting back. I always took the peaceful route in life, and just let my seething anger get stored up inside me.

Sheesh, is it any wonder that so many kids bring guns to school? If this is the kinda' stuff teachers know about, imagine what kind of sick shit is going on under their noses! It's a fucking wonder some nerd who received one-too-many swirlies from the soulless jocks hasn't blown my school up yet with a home-made bomb.

Jeez, I am so sick of shit happening to me and no one caring. It's like that at home, and at school. My parents don't give a fuck that my brother tried to Tama-hawk me with a friggen' remote-control in the back of my head over the summer. They don't care he put me through absolute hell all summer long. They’re always too tired to care.

*sigh*, sorry for the rant guys, but that's what's going on over here. Care, don't care, whatever. It's up to you.

   Hey everybody! How's it going?

Time of Post:
Listening to: "Another Brick In The Wall", by Pink Floyd. ^.^

My English teacher must be bored or something! She was merciless with the homework that will be due Friday! (I have block-scheduling, for those who didn't know).
*sigh*, do teacher's not realize we have other stuff to do? Not only are we given homework in every other class, but I still want to have time to do something else when I get home.
First off, we're reading the lamest story ever; "The Epic of Gilgamesh". Let me tell you right now, there's nothing epic about it. We have to read 2 chapters and complete the study-guides for those chapters or it's a knife in the belly. And there's more...
Each week we have 20 or so massive spelling words (stuff you'd likely see on the SAT) that we have to write sentences for. Yes, I know, sounds like Elementary school stuff, but these sentences have to include "context-clues", meaning you have to be able to derive the meaning of the word from the sentence.
Usually it's not all that bad, but from now on the sentences have to link together to form a story, and the topic of the story is the teacher's choice! Not ours! X_x'
Ah well, the topic she chose was 'Halloween', which means I'm technically allowed to write about zombies! Loquacious, sanctimonious and desiccated zombies, of course. Needless to say, it'll still be a stretch. XD

Alright, that's enough of me pissing about my homework. Now on to something fun.

Speaking of zombies, guess what I got from Josh the Saturday before last!

...wait a minute, what did I get again?


Hmmmmmmmm...


Hmmmmmmmmm...


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Oh yeah! I got...*drum-roll*...Resident Evil 4! \^o^/ It is a FREAKIN' AWESOME game!!! Oooh man, I have never played a game that's gotten my pulse going that fast! (Hey, a 300 lb. man with a potato-sack over his head coming at you with a chainsaw gets your pulse going)
Has anyone else played this gem of a game? If you have, don't spoil anything about it for me!
I'm not very far yet. The Saturday I got it I got to the Cemetery and old church. Then this Saturday, I went through the swamp, fought Del Lago (fun boss!), and then the El Gigante. Well, right after that I got mauled to death by Plagas-Cyotes, but oh well, them's the breaks.

If any of you are curious about the game, I'd be happy to post some info.

OK everybody, I'll visit your sites later tonight, okey-doke?
Oh, and please check out yesterday's post if you haven't already.

   Back with a vengence...again!!! >:D
Heh heh, guess I have some es-plainin' to do, huh?
What's it been, like a whole 'nother week!? Ugh, I'm so sorry!

Before I begin, I wanna' wish a happy Otaku-versary to Lindsey-chan! \^o^/ More info to come!

Here's the deal with my second absence; I've seriously had a million things going at once over here. I know it's a lame excuse, but crap has been flying at me like there's no tomorrow. I've had about a million tests and essays between now and the last time I posted, so school's been bearing down on me like an assault jet. I've even got a test tomorrow in Algebra (II) that I'm not ready for. Plus, my family is REALLY becoming a pain in the @$$ right now.
And the time I was able to get on The Otaku I was busy with some pretty extreme stuff. You...may want to sit down for this part. You remember AmiGouchi? Last week, her best friend committed suicide. He hung himself with his own bed-sheets. I'm not f***ing around here, people. I'm dead serious. Needless to say, Ami-chan could really use our support right now. Please pray for her, and visit her if you have the time.

*sigh*, I did have some more good news, but it would be insensitive to list it out right after that message about Ami-chan. Plus, my family just REALLY pissed me off just now. Buncha' retards...
I guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

P.S.
Special message for Miyoko-chan:
Did you get the PM I sent you last night? Please tell me if you didn't.

Thanks everybody, and I'll see you tomorrow.

   Time of Post: 5:08 PM
Currently Listening To: "Carol of the Bells", co preformed by Metallica and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. ^_^

'Sup everybody? How's it going?

Well, it's October (a blinding flash of the obvious there, I know).
You know what that means; cooler temperatures (thank goodness), ummmmmmmmm...pumpkins, and most importantly, Halloween!
Despite the fact that I love, love, love drawing ghosts and zombies, I've never been a "horror" kind of guy. Does that surprise anyone?
I can't stand scary movies (yes, I know, I'm a total puss. Just don't rub it in, OK? -_-').
*sigh*, but them's the breaks, neh?

Speaking of ghosts and what-not, Lindsey-chan has been commissioned by her local Historical society to create some ghost story illustrations for their Halloween brochure! Naturally, the idea of EAMR drawing ghosts and such has me ECSTATIC!!!
*ahem* Anyway, check out the 2 pieces she's completed already:


Pretty freakin' tight, neh? ^_^ I can't wait to see what else Lindsey has planed!

And speaking of Halloween altogether, I've been wondering what you guys would have to say about the film "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I know a lot of you out there are Tim Burton fans, so I think it'd be best to ask you. (I'm not that big of a Tim Burton fan myself, but I did like "Batman Beyond". Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey and George Clooney all did a spectacular job in that film) Is it a film worth seeing? My buddy Josh said it's very fun and artistic.
Anybody want to give me the gist of what the movie's about? I'm easily hooked by interesting and original plots, so anyone who can sum up the main idea or characters (without giving any spoilers) would be greatly appreciated. I really have no idea what it's about. ^_^'

Before I go, here's a tight picture of Kirby and Meta-knight (Meta-knight is Kirby's friend and former enemy).

I love how this pic was designed. You really get the feeling that they're about to square-off.
By the way, Kirby is in Sword-Kirby form in this pic. Thus the hat.
And yes, Sword-Kirby's hat was in fact designed to be an homage to the one and only Link. The only difference is Kirby's hat has that fuzzy yellow ball at the tip of his hat. *noogies Kirby* Ya' gotta' love the Kirby!

Alright everyone, if I haven't been to your site yet, I will later today. See you tomorrow!

Hey everybody. How's it going?

Ya' wanna' see something really, really cute?
Even I find this really cute, and if I find it cute, that means it's gonna' absolutely make your hearts melt. Check it out:



This is Kenshin fan-art by Kirei Akumu, and damn is it cute! What do you guys think?
Feel free to snuggle and huggle him to your heart's content.

So how's everybody doing today?
Not much goin' on here. My brother's being a jerk, but that's just the Satus Quo.

Did anybody else see Fullmetal Alchemist last night? Wooh man, that was INSANE! That sequence that showed us more about Ed's experience in the void when he tried to resurrect his mother, it was so creepy!!! *shiver* Especially that part with the giant crypt-looking thing with the giant steel doors, all those eyes in the shadows gave me the freakin' willies! *double shiver*
****WARNING!!! SPOILERS BETWEEN HERE AND THE OTHER "*" MARKS!!! IF YOU AREN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE SEREIES, DON'T READ!!!!****
The twists in FMA are so rad! At the end when Ed realized that the kid had his original right arm and left leg, oh man, I did NOT see that coming!
I find something really weird about that kid. He's actually pretty cute (I swear, if you call me gay for that one comment, I'll kill you), but he creeps me out. You gotta' admit it was creepy when he transmuted the bed. *triple shiver* It was even creepier how one of those shadow-people in the void looked just like him. And they were always smiling! *quadruple shiver* I wanna' shoot those creepy bastards!
So what do you think the kid's connection with the Hommunculi is? Do you think he is one? But why would a Hommunculi be in the void where Ed retrieved Al's spirit and his mom's "body"? Could Ed be mistaken? And am I the only one with the feeling the Ed's teacher isn't telling us something? What could she be hiding? I'd really like to hear all your thoughts on the subject.
****END OF SPOILERS***

Anyway, I'll leave you guys with another cool music Gif:
Heh heh, it's a woofer.

I'll see you tomorrow.

As much as I hate Pop music, SHE'S JUST TOO DARN CUTE!!!

Hey everybody. How's it going?
Things were REALLY bad last night between my brother and the rest of my family. That little piss-ant ruins EVERY peaceful night.
I only have a few more years before I leave for college, and my brother's going to make sure they aren't even close to happy. It's taking every ounce of will I have not to beat his head in with a 2x4. *sigh*, and of course, nobody's willing to do a thing about it.

As you can tell, things have been hectic over here. I promise I'll check and comment on your posts later tonight.

I've got some new art, but I can't post it till my scanner's back up and running. -_-'

Hmmmmmmmmm...not much else to talk about.
Oh! I found some nice Metallica art on the web last night! (I was up till 2 AM, so I certainly hope I got something out of it!)

Here's a pic of Metallica (the current members) chibified and in traditional anime kimonos!


Before you ask, yes, it was drawn by a girl. Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you can tell the gender of an artist by their art style?
Anyway, in the pic, from left to right is Kirk, James, Rob and Lars. James is in a funk because he thinks he looks like a girl. XD
I wish I had a kimono.

Before I leave, here's a quick little music gif for you:

Feel free to use it, because as far as I know it's not trade-marked by anyone.

Allright everybody, I'll see you all tomorrow.
