So did everyone have a happy Friday the 13th? I didn’t even realize what day it was until I was filling out paperwork at…well, work. My Friday the 13th turned out pretty well because a coworker of mine gave me a spiffy green glitter gel pen for no reason. Wohoo! Nothing like a green glitter gel pen to make a regular day a dandy day.^_~

I went to an art store website called DickBlick.com…I dunno, weird name for an art site but I had ordered my copic markers from that site in the past so I still get a catalog sent to me from them once in awhile and I saw they had this computer software program for sale that was made for manga creation! Well, mostly with the one I ordered, is set up so that the templates for the pages can be made as well as effects and special texts as well as caption bubbles so I think that will majorly help me with my mangas I’m making. Although this first one I’m making will all be quick and done by hand, mangas I’m going to make later on, I want to look more professional so this program sounds perfect since I’m still going to hand-draw everything but at least I can make proper graphics and textures and such for the true “manga-look” in my later pieces. Wahoo!

In my last post when I showed a picture of the Japanese singer Gackt as my picture of the day, my pal, Pyrinsomniac asked me if I ever compared Gackt to my fave character, Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket since they’re both so perfect and beautiful that they look almost feminine? Well, to answer that: of course! When I first saw Gackt I instantly made that association.XD Sometimes, when I see pictures and poses of Gackt, I almost wonder if the creator of Fruits Basket modeled Yuki after Gackt because there’s some shots where they are posed very similarly. There’s one in particular that shows Gackt in a field of feathers and there’s an illustration of Yuki, looking similar but in a field of roses. Coincidence? I think not!....well, maybe but yeah, I think Gackt is the real-life version of Yuki Sohma and look at his picture! It’s Yuki posed with Shigure! Heh, not really…unless Shigure was put into a dryer and shrank.XD
