I was tagged
1. What is your opinion of TheOtaku?

It's pretty nice, people here are very friendly.

2. What do you think TheOtaku could do to improve?

I honestly don't know... maybe a random button to bring up random fanarts or fancomics or something. Just for shits and giggles.

3. What feature do you hope TheOtaku never changes?

I honestly don't know XD

4. What do you think about 'Community Chat'?

I don't use it so I don't know.

5. What's your least favorite thing to discuss with other members on TheOtaku?

Stuff that has nothing to do with the topic, unless it's just a casual type of talk.

6. How do you feel about MyOtaku? (If you're unfamiliar with MyOtaku, then skip)

It's where I grew up on here man, I'll never stop using it.

7. What do you like about anime?

The details in the art and the stories that people create using their imagination. Every character has a part of the artist's personality, not like an artist surrogate, but a piece of them that makes their characters unique. How realistic the art can be and how disproportionate and exaggerated it can be. How it's not really a cartoon but everyone thinks it is.

8. What do you dislike about anime?

Definitely how cliché they can get. The hentai crap. How some are always about a 15 year old boy saving the world or something like that and falls in love with a defenseless damsel in distress. Really, the Romanticism gets old, can't we have a heroine that kicks ass that doesn't have to be stupid or weak or show big boobs for once? >_>

9. Which unappreciated anime do you wish would gather more recognition?

I don't really watch anime... although Monster is one of the best anime/manga I've ever seen. It is definitely underrated, even if it is ranked #19 in the top 50 mangas/animes of all time. Then there's some really unknown ones, like Heads, Ikigami, Himizu. Definitely NOT family friendly, they are darker, psychological, more nihilistic mangas, but they are worth a read.

10. Moving to the topic of art: What is your preferred type of media?

I like them all, even if I'm not good at all of them. I have a lot to learn and to improve on.

11. What do you like the best about your artwork?

I don't know really.. I guess how I can have an impact on someone who really likes it.

12. How well do you handle constructive criticism on your artwork?

If it's helpful, I'll use it the next time I create something.

13. What kind of criticism do you like to offer to your fellow Otakus?

Whatever it needs to have criticism on. Usually I'm pretty mellow and say "oh, that's good." but if I really like the art and the artist, I could offer some tips for future improvement.

14. Oh fiddlesticks: someone has left a rather distasteful comment on your artwork(s)/portfolio, how do you handle it?

*shrug* Well, that's a shame. Can't please everyone though. Move on.


15. Which unappreciated artist on TheOtaku do you wish would get featured? (Or at the very least recognized?

Ones that fly under the radar but have the talent. (Nobody specific in mind).

16. If you could ask one question about the person who tagged you, what would it be?

What's your favorite piece of artwork?

17. Random Question: What song have you heard that is so awesome, it could qualify as your theme song?

Do I have to? There's so many songs that I like. I guess I'll have to go with Red Neck War by Byzantine since it's what I'm listening to right now.

18. Imagine this!
You awake with a jolt, not recognizing your immediate surroundings. It's dark, uneven, yet noticeably elegant. Quickly you establish that you're in a castle; ancient and mysterious. Filled with sudden confusion, you rush out of the current room in search for an exit.

However, as you're slipping through the creaky hallways a low bellow catches your attention. Freezing up, you warily peer behind you---eyes widening as you spot a cloaked figure bearing an engraved scythe and a wicked, toothy grin. Just as your heart felt like it could explode from it's confinement, a deep chuckle escaped the demon's lips and his first words to you are...?

"Damn, you tripping if you woke up like this!" XD

19. Last question: Assuming your soul hasn't been devoured in the previous question, what did you think of these questions?

They were fun to do.
