   Girl Got Game Book 4

I'm going to buy Girl Got Game book 4 today. I'll head to the city after university and go to Empire Toys. I might get Love Hina book 3 if Electronics Boutique have it, they do have it at Empire, but it's cheaper at EB.

Also, I redid the Kagome pic which I screwed up (too many fingers), but I don't particularly like the re-done version either, ah well.

Kagome Fanart deleted

I just deleted one of my Kagome fanart (the one from book something) because I came to my attention that I drew too many fingers. I might redo the picture someday, the picture will still be available at my main website though.

To make up for it, I might do another Kagome picture, using the coloured paper that my sister got.

   Fruits Basket Book 4

I said I was going to buy Fruits Basket book 3, but I didn't, the only books they had was book 4, so I got that instead. It's all good!

I'm planning to go again (to Empire Toys) in a few weeks time with my sister.

   I'm on my way to Empire Toys!

After I finish typing this post, I'm going to hop on the bus, catch the train, and head to Empire Toys.

I decided to buy the Fruits Basket manga, and seeing as I've already read books 1 and 2 off the Internet (don't ask for links, the website is currently down with no signs of returning) I'll buy book 3 perhaps.

Well, got to go otherwise I'll miss the bus.

   'Empire Toys' is anime and manga heaven!

I was in anime and manga heaven yesterday. I went to the city to check out a shop called 'Empire Toys'

What happened was my sister's friend borrowed 'Girl Got Game' Volume 2 from her friend, and she said that her friend's sister bought it from a shop called Empire Toys.

So I decided to check out 'Empire Toys'. I have heard of 'Empire Toys' before, they had an advertisement in the newspaper where they were selling figurines of Evangelion characters. I didn't feel like going because I was told that the shop was located on Hay Street in the city, and Hay Street is a very long street with hundreds of shops. But I looked it up on the Internet (www.empiretoys.com.au) and it said that the shop was located near the 'His Majesty's Theatre' car park, so I decided to go because I know exactly where that is (my dad used to work at the 'His Majesty's Theatre' Cafe.

What really put me off was the number of people smoking cigarettes, I hate cigarette smoke, and I had to hold my breath for a long time while walking towards 'Empire Toys'.

I finally arrived, and WOW, it was huge! It had just about every title pf anime and manga from Viz and Tokyopop. They also had anime soundtracks (they also have Star Wars and The Matrix goodies). I spent an hour there trying to decide what to buy. I don't have alot of money to spend so I had to pick just one. I was thinking of buying the 'Inuyasha Action Pack' which consists of 2 books and a DVD, but I didn't want to spend more than $30.

After browsing, I decided to buy the Inuyasha Movie 3 soundtrack for $18.95. I will definately be back to buy more. However, the prices at 'Empire Toys' is higher than 'Electronics Boutique' and 'JB Hi Fi'. The cheapest place to buy anime is 'Big W' but their range of titles is very small.

   I just uploaded a new fan art (Miscellaneous 03)

I have been meaning to do this picture a while ago. I got the idea when I watered the spider plant in my room. I thought "The leaves of the spider plant remind me of Marie's hair (from 'Metal Angel Marie').

When I finished going over the picture in fineliner, my sister said that it reminds her of Belldandy and Naru (from Ah! My Goddess and Love Hina). I guess it does.

   Scanlations of Inuyasha Doujinshi

I finally got hold of some more doujinshi, which I will do scanlations of. So far, I finished scanlating a four panel funny about Miroku. The URL is: http://www.geocities.com/roxybudgydoujinshi/Zen.html

   My dad knows!

My dad foud out about the car accident. He was pretty mad for a while, but he has cooled off.

Also, new fan art, I recently purchased Love Hina book 1, I'm not new to Love Hina by the way. I have read book 2 and the final book (Naru and Keitaro get married), and I have watched quite a few episodes of Love Hina. It is only recently that I started trying to draw Love Hina characters. Also, the fan art was done in coloured pencil which means that the scanner is bound to screw up the colours.

   Long time no post?

So happy, I downloaded Inuyasha 133-134 and 156, althought 156 was a bit of a dissappointment because I was looking forward to Sesshoumaru beating up Naraku (I read the manga beforehand), I guess I'll have to download 157 too.

Also my dad is back from overseas, he still doesn't know about the car accident. He brought back heaps of software, Adobe Premiere and Photoshop is among them, which means I can make better AMVs, and possibly be able to colour fan art better. He also got CounterStrike Condition Zero for my brother, however, my brother already purchased Condition Zero while my dad was away, oh well.

I updated my website, and I made a new website about the Inuyasha GBA game.

   About my coloured Kikyo picture

I know I know, Kikyou's hair isn't brown, but I was using the picture as an example on my Colouring with Microsoft Paint tutorial, so it would have been pretty pointless if I used Black.

Also, someone told me I spelt Kikyou wrong, well, either "Kikyo" or "Kikyou" is correct, but I decided to start using the extra "u" because some words looked odd without it eg "doujinshi" and "dokkasou".
