   animes...
so, finally I had time to watch the animes I bought last time ^_^
they're really cool...I enjoyed "Spriggan" very much, even if it's not so new anymore. It has a speacial style and the story keeps you in suspense...and the other whose title I didn't know...it was very beautiful, the art is amazing. The english title is "Origin - Spirits of the past". I don't know where they took the title (in French it's also Origine...), 'cause the Japanese title is "gin-iro no kami no Agito", so translated "silverhaired Agito" (it's the main character whose hair gets silver because of some force he obtains)...really strange ^_^ but anyway, I bought the cantonese version, so I watched it in Japanese with English subtitles...(I don't understand cantonese, but it was the only version avaiable for now and for being cantonese it was cheaper...:D).
Hope you had a good time too! ^_^

see ya around...

   update
just updated my portfolio...well, it's only one pic, but it's one of my favourites. It's quite an old picture, but I think it's really good for those times (hehe). She's the protagonist of my very first story I began to write, and I changed a lot since I did this story. It's not really finished yet, I've got mostly pictures of the chapters and sometimes I also wrote ideas down. I was really into Sailor Moon in those times, so when I see some of my old pics I recognize some traces of the Sailor Moon story plot or the clothes :D (but I changed many things since then, mostly when I stopped to watch and read Sailor Moon). So later on I created an own style, concerning plot, clothes and style of drawing. ^_^
Currently I have some 8 stories, I believe...this is the first. Many of the pictures I uploaded are from the one I'm writing and drawing now, and some of a few older ones. One of these stories is made as a manga, so maybe I'll post it sometime. It was for a drawing manga contest in Germany (but I didn't win, unfortunately...:(, sniff ). Well, it was not soo good made, 'cause I had problems making the shadows and I couldn't make the cover colored. :(
But anyway, I'll try to participate on a contest named "pimp my charcter" (Also in Germany) the next year (I hadn't had any time this year, because of the Japanese exams). I think my chances there are better, because I'm better making character design than really a manga, and that's what this contest is about. In college time (I chose the minor "arts" the last year) I made my work about character design. So I wrote a story, and then made the character design for the main characters. It was real fun (though I was short in time)...I'll see if I can upload these pics sometime (I can't scan them - not because of the damn scanner who still won't work - because the size is A2 I believe (or something like this). I got all the points for this work...hehe, I was really happy about that. ^_^

I think I'll look if I can translate the manga I did for this contest (it's only 16 pages)...if I can find the folder where I seved it...

   manga...
I was collecting some ideas for a manga I wanted to make, and now I think I have enough to at least draw the first chapter. Only problem I have, is that I haven't got a clue what names the characters should have...hmm...
I'll write it in German, but I'll probably do a second version (on the computer) in (my poor) English...so maybe I'll upload it then...some if the cahracters of this story are shown in the pics I uploaded here in myotaku...maybe I should post some pics here sometime and ask you for ideas for the names :D I'm curious about your ideas...(If I'm not able to find names, I'll do this).
I'll upload some pics of them later on, so I'd like to know your opinions about the characters in general ;)

   ah well...
so the f****** scanner won't work, but I figured out you can get some really good pics with the digicam (only thing is you have to make at least 3 photos, because one time it's to bright because of the flash (see the pic I just uploaded...sniff), or another problem, the photo seems to have been taken when you had too much beer...). But I have now some pics and will upload some tonight (maybe...) or tomorrow ;)
yeah, it's really cool, Evengalion is awesome...!!!! (only volume missing - for it wasn't avaiable then - is volume 10...).
Furthermore there are still the animes I bought on saturday (a shame I didn't watch them until now, but I visited some friends...so they're still waiting for me :)
ah, today I was introduced to someone to whom I can make...er...how is this called in English (in German you call that tanddem learning, so I teach somebody something he can't and he in return teachs me something I can't). So, this person is Japenese, so I'll teach her German and she'll teach me Japanese (or at least we make conversation to practice) ^_^
really cool, I was feeling kinda out of practice 'cause the only conversation we do at the university is often "prescribed", so you have to learn it by heart. Only now and then we do some free talk to really think about what we're saying, so yeah, it's cool I have now the chance to talk to somebody :)
(ha, see scanner, I can handle things even without you :p)

sooo...just uploaded my little gnome (or troll...you can choose what you think he is :p)

   grrrrr....!!!!!
I feel like someone had put a curse on me! Namely a scanner-won't-work-when-you're-near-curse. I could only scan the colored picture, I had so much more pictures to scan! T__________T
under these were also requests. :( I'm really unhappy because of this...grrrrr...maybe I'll try to take photo instead of scanning the pictures, until I find one...ah, it's really annoying.

the only thing which makes this bearable is that I got the chance to get many mangas for free (I collegue of the university has a sister who don't want her mangas anymore, so she told me I could take what I wanted...so now I finally have Neon Genesis Evangelion :) I wanted to buy this series long ago, but didn't have the money to do so - I'm collecting so much series at the moment...). At least something positive...

   colored pic...
so, just uploaded the colored picture I did last week. maybe I can upload some other pictures later on (it´s nearly 4 a.m.where I am right now, I´d weak up everyone scanning other drawings of mine...).
I hope you find it good, if not, tell my why :D
it was real fun to do this piece, ´cause it was long ago I last colored one of my pictures. I´ll surely try to do something with photoshop, but I don´t think I´ll get far with it T_T

   drawing...
so. yesterday I had a little bit time to draw, the colored picture is nearly finished, I'm thinking about making a second (but with a simplier bg, otherwise I won't be able to do anything this weekend :D). As I'm visiting some friends it'll be difficult to make many pics, but I have some old ones here...I'll upload some of them, hehe. I'm doing some salyers pics now, I think they're quite good, but I have some difficulties with them, because it's totally another style than i draw usually...
But I hope the one who is looking for this (I'm doing my best here ;) ), will be satisfied with them...^_^ maybe I can upload some of them to (but for them I hadn't the time to clor them...so unfortunately they're going to be b/w, too.

   pic...
found a picture I wanted to upload the other day, but hadn't enough time to do so. It's not the colored one yet, but I like it nonetheless. Well, I did it on the way to my collegue, so I made it in the train...^^ it's not really finished (I think I made the bg better afterwards) and the chara seems a bit unproprtional, but anyway, I made it mostly because of her dress...it's kinda special. She's not from a story I'm currently writing, but she seems to fit good in the one I'm writing now...I'll see where I can put her in :)
