I've been giving some thought to my fan art decision (see my archives), and came up with a solution that I think would benefit everyone. I've decided to take a novel approach to doing my art, by not deciding what I draw. I'm going to let others decide the subject matter of my art from existing anime for a change.
Okay, Now that I sound thoroughtly insane, here's what I mean. I won't submit any existing animé pictures I draw on my own here anymore, but I will try to submit pictures other people ask me to draw. I think by doing that, it'll challenge me to work harder at my art, and in the long run make it improve.
I'll take the first three requests I get by Friday morning, and try to draw them out. I can't guarantee I'll have them done soon, and I can't guarantee they'll be hosted here. Also, do not make a request based on another person's artwork, if I find out I'm being used to plagiarize, I will
NOT be a happy person, and will take the appropriate measures. I'll catalog the other requests, and work on them as I get the time to do so.
Here's a short list of the animé I've seen, just so you know which ones will be easier for me to draw. You can request something I haven't seen, but expect it to take me longer to draw because I'll have to research the character first.

It's all right, these things happen.
Geneon (sometimes goes by Pioneer) produces English dubs of anime, like Viz Media (Naruto, InuYasha) and Funimation(Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball). They released Last Exile, and a few others that are on the air now, or wer on the air here in the US recently. It's not really important to know the company anyway. I did the homework, and need to find on video the Streamline Pictures, or Orion Home Video releases of Akira, Streamline Pictures released the original US dub in 1990, and Orion Home Video rereleased it in 1995. I do want to compare this newer "restored, remastered" version to the original, I have a feeling based on some of the scene work that Geneon got a bit overzealous and did too much "remasteing". Some of the scenes look too modernly animated to have been done in 1988, but overall the film is really good. My library doesn't carry anything like that, I think they're caught up in the prejudice about animé being all sex, drugs, and violence. It's a shame to see ignorance limit access to such things.
I hope
Adam works something out to deliver that CD overseas. He must know there's enough interest in doing it. All I can say is ask him about it, there's not much I can do.
Random Fact About Me:
IF I ever cosplayed, I would be Kenshin Himura. My hair's naturally red so I wouldn't have to worry about that part of the costume ^_^
