  Hey everybody. How’s it going?

Meh, seems a lot of people are currently absent from The Otaku.
It also seems that 90% of the people here were gone through that whole ordeal with my computer last week (talked about in the post that’s currently at the bottom of my page).

Speaking of which, it was a shame I had to be absent from The Otaku on my birthday (of all things!). I even missed my Otaku-versary this year (July 17th)! <=( That’s a shame, because I think a lot of people were even offering me birthday presents before I left. Oh well, maybe their offer still stands…

Oh, and speaking of birthday presents, I need to get to work on my beloved Erin-chan’s birthday present!
Erin-chan asked for a birthday picture featuring her character Nanashi. As said in that post at the bottom of my page, I tried it while my computer was gone, but without access to all my reference artwork it turned out crappy.
But, now that I have my computer back, I’ll be able to get that drawn for her. ^_^ I just hope she doesn’t mind it being a tad late for her birthday (which was July 14th). Hopefully I’ll have Photoshop installed and running soon so I can have it nice and cleanly edited for her. My Erin-chan deserves nothing less. ~_^

Oh, and speaking of the Erin-chan and late celebration of her birthday, I think I’ll post a few more pics here on my site for her in belated commemoration. ;D
As you’ve seen, on several of my previous posts I’ve dedicated the Art Feature of that day to her. But, since I have a giant stack of pics I need to use as Art Features, and I can only do one Art Feature a day, I’ll instead just put the pics here in my post rather than as a daily Art Feature. ~_^

As said in my previous post, Erin-chan’s a big fan of L from Death Note.
Just like last post’s Art Feature, here’s another picture of L by the lovely pu-sama:

As previously explained, Erin’s always entertained by L’s habit of nibbling on something as he thinks. Here, L unknowingly makes a snack of one of pu-sama’s friends; Kristen. Kristen seems rather confused. XD

Erin-chan’s also a big fan of Axel from Kingdom Hearts II.
Unlike Erin and Josh, I’m not too big of an Axel fan, but even I couldn’t resist this picture, so I thought Erin and any other Axel fans out there might really enjoy this one:


This one’s by Majime; one of my favorite colored-pencil artists (she draws Nagas! =D ). As with any of her work, the colors here are spectacular, especially Axel’s hair. Though, just like any other artist has said after drawing Axel, she stated the hair was a bitch to do. XD

Hmmmm, it also appears that nobody has guessed that mystery show I mentioned 2 weeks or so ago.
Let me recap: Probably the only non-anime TV shows I can really enjoy now a days are Mythbusters and Mystery Science Theater 3000. But, there is a third show I’m a really big fan of that I’ve failed to mention to you all yet.
My friend Jess owns the complete DVD box-set, which he’s going to loan me next time I see him. ^o^
So, what is this show? I gave this hint to you before and no one got it, but I’ll give you a second try: Shopping-carts.
Yep, that’s right. Shopping-carts.
Anything coming to mind? I guess I could give you another hint: Though many haven’t heard of it yet, there’s going to be something related to this wonderful series released in movie theaters this fall. ^o^ I can’t wait!
So, can any of you guess what this show I love so much actually is? ~_^ If that’s not enough, I’ll give you a third hint next post.

Here’s today’s Art Feature:
“Life Down” by gnato:


As mentioned before, gnato is one of my most favorite photographers.
Here you can see why, with little explanation needed.

OK everybody, I’m off to visit your sites! ^_^
